A Toast to Baseball

Baseball begins tomorrow. Which, for a lot of us, means that life begins again tomorrow, right? It does feel that in the winter, when baseball ends, the life is sucked out of us. All that is good in the world is gone. Baseball is what fuels us, it keeps us going. But why do we [...]

In 2009, before my second full season of blogging the Cardinals, I reached out to other bloggers to other teams to get insights on their clubs.  This year, instead of going through the teams alphabetically, we’ll approach it a little differently, spending a week with each division.  For the tenth straight season, get ready for [...]
