For the sixth straight year, we’re taking a look back at everyone that played for the St. Louis Cardinals this season. Whether they were a major contributor or a bit player, here all year or for just a little while, we’ll look at their season and talk about what went right and what went wrong. [...]
Even though, at least here, this weekend was unseasonably warm, folks went ahead and tossed a big log on the hot stove. First, Derrick Goold reported that the Cardinals were going to ask about Giancarlo Stanton and Christian Yelich, though that was really not big news. Goold has been saying that the Cards and Marlins [...]

We’ve come to the end of the 2017 season. Congratulations to the Houston Astros on winning their first World Series title in franchise history. I know my friends over at Astros County are delirious right now and with good reason. It’s always a great thing when you win the final game of the season and [...]
It’s been a while since we’ve got together, though that doesn’t mean that I’ve not been writing. (I’ve been trying to get ahead of the Exit Interviews, coming soon, and so far so good.) With the finalization of the coaching staff this week, though, I’d thought I’d drop my two cents in, even though they [...]

To me, the bullpen is always one of the more interesting areas to evaluate on a yearly basis, as it tends to be volatile and fluctuate on a yearly basis. Teams often promote or acquire releivers both in the offseason and in season. The Yankees for example, signed Aroldis Chapman during the offseason, and then [...]
The Dodgers have spared us. All hail LA. We know that, in just a little over a week, we will no longer be living in a world that lists the current World Champion as “Chicago Cubs.” Chicago’s season ended with a League Championship flameout after they were able to barely squeak by the Washington Nationals. [...]
We’ve talked a lot this year about what’s wrong with the Cardinals. When a team that we expect to be in the postseason flounders to 83 wins this year and misses October for the second consecutive year while the Cubs continue their season, it’s not surprising that things are going to turn negative. As a [...]
I was having a discussion with a colleague a few weeks back about (has it been that long?) my previous post. Specifically, we were talking about first base and Matt Carpenter. I would say, Yadier Molina and Carp are my two favorite players on the team. Yadi isn’t going anywhere, but Carp… Carp mainly plays three [...]
It’s been a quiet week for the Cardinals, for the most part, which means a quiet time here at the blog. (Though we are still taking your Twitter user ratings!) I’ve had a few ideas on posts but I haven’t gotten around to writing on them, though Allen and I did get a Meet Me [...]
