There are really no words for this weekend. I mean, we can try–and we will–to recap what happened from Friday to last night against the Chicago Cubs. We will probably pile up plenty of words talking about the injuries, the comebacks, the highs and lows. Yet trying to absorb what happened, the fact that this [...]

If it wasn’t for the fact that we like to at least address every single Cardinals game, we probably could easily skip this weekend and everyone would be happier. Unfortunately, we’ve got to get to those games in Pittsburgh but before that, let’s remember happier times. Thursday (4-3 win in 13 over New York) Hero: [...]
