You know, I was going to write after Wednesday’s game in New York. Great title (“If You Can Make It There…It Probably Doesn’t Mean Much”) and some great games to talk about. I didn’t and now, oh boy now momentum and excitement and optimism for this team has taken a complete 180. The sound you [...]

We kicked off the second week of the Greatest Cardinal Moment Tournament this morning, so if you missed out on that one, be sure to check it out for a great battle of huge postseason home runs. This afternoon, we’re going with a pivotal postseason at bat against a legendary regular season moment. #6 Matt [...]
As you’re no doubt painfully aware, yesterday’s 9th inning started with a Francisco Cervelli ground ball up the middle. Paul DeJong got to the ball but could not control it, and Cervelli reached on what was charitably called a ‘single’. Two quick things on that: First, it should have been an error. Yes DeJong had to [...]
We’re one week into the Greatest Cardinal Moment Tournament (#BestCardsMoments) and we’ve had some fun matchups already. It’s not surprising, given the seeding on the ones we voted on in the first outing that there’s not been a real close one yet, but it’s still been fun to relive a few moments. Let’s take a [...]
If you read the 10th anniversary post, you know that in 2007, the Cardinals went into the All-Star Break with some hope. They went into the break 7.5 games out, but had cut three games off that deficit in just over a week. Chris Carpenter was rumored to be on his way back. Things were [...]
If you’ve read the blog, listened to the podcasts, or followed my Twitter account, you know that I’m not much about talking myself up. I’m much more comfortable on the self-depreciating humor level, in part because it’s often very true. Folks that have been on this ride for a long time know it’s not often [...]

LOUIS, Mo., July 13, 2017 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced that they activated second baseman Kolten Wong from the 10-day disabled list on Monday, and activated left-handed pitcher Kevin Siegrist from the 10-day disabled list today. To make room for both players on the St. [...]
Didn’t there used to be games on the Thursday after the All-Star Game? Oh well. Games in April count the same as games in September, but for the Redbirds the next 17 are critical: 3 against a mediocre Pirates team 4 against a mediocre Mets team 3 against a mediocre Cubs team 3 against a Rockies [...]
I didn’t plan to watch the All-Star Game this year. But with Netflix on the fritz and a fidgety 5-year old next to me I flipped the TV over to cable. I started looking at Honduras vs French Guiana but that looked initially like a Sunday game at my local park. Over to FOX. Carlos Martinez was on the [...]
