We went through all the moves of the last few days in our earlier post, but now it’s time to catch up on all the activity that’s happened on the diamond. It started out on a downer and there was a controversial loss out by the bay, but on the whole it’s been not too [...]
It’s becoming pretty clear that there’s not a huge demand for this tournament. For the second straight week, I had just seven responses to our matchup. However, we’ve got it scheduled out and even as things lag behind at a few places and the lack of interest grows here, we keep pushing on. Here’s what [...]
“The actions we take The choices we make Moments, both big and small Shape us into forces of destiny.”–Maz Kanata For a number of reasons, I’ve not been able to sit down and do much writing over the last few days, days that have seen a lot of activity and things that need to be [...]
As you know from reading the blog on a regular basis (because all five of you reading this are fairly loyal), when the Giants and Cardinals get together I like to talk with Craig from THE San Francisco Giants Blog. Craig’s got a great community of passionate fans over there that have yet to stone [...]

Multiple reports have the Cardinals close to trading Mike Leake, with Ken Rosenthal stating the destination is Seattle. No rumors on return or when the deal might be finalized.
With the scratch of Yadier Molina due to soreness, five of the nine starters in last night’s game (Carson Kelly, Luke Voit, Paul DeJong, Tommy Pham, and Luke Weaver) started their season in Memphis. Given what the AAA team has accomplished this year–congrats to Stubby Clapp on that manager of the year award–it’s not surprising [...]

LOUIS, MO, August 29, 2017 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced this afternoon that the team will match Matt Carpenter’s and Adam Wainwright’s pledges to donate $10,000 [...]
If you are an optimistic sort, the series loss to the Padres wasn’t necessarily a season-killer. After all, when folks looked at this homestand, there was the idea that the Cardinals really needed to go at least 4-2 and with a sweep of the Rays, the Cards would have made that mark. So all they [...]
It’s the final week of the second round of the Greatest Cardinal Moment Tournament. Last week wasn’t without its glitches, what with The Intrepid and Cardsblog unable to put their matchups up, Redbird Rants having the right matchup in their text but the wrong one in their Twitter poll, and my matchup getting a grand [...]
