For seven straight years, the Cardinals have hosted the bloggers, allowing Q&A with John Mozeliak and Bill DeWitt III. And for the seventh straight year, everyone there has come away with a similar thought. Man, Mo can be a candid guy. I didn’t take notes this year, so perhaps other bloggers in the group will [...]
The Cardinals snapped their seven-game losing streak last night with a 3-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. While welcome, that’s not really what everyone is talking about the day after. No, that goes to an unprecedented press conference by John Mozeliak, which announced more staff changes than the Cardinals have done in-season in a long [...]
You get swept by the Cubs in their ballpark. OK, not great, but even given how they are playing, they are still the World Champs. You can rationalize that a little bit. Getting swept–in a four-game series, mind you–by the Reds in their ballpark? While scoring a total of nine runs against a statistically terrible [...]
Campaign to Celebrate the White Rat & His Pack of Players with a Pack of 24 Animated Baseball Cards Team Launches Fan Video Contest Where Winning Fan’s Video Will Be Converted into a Professionally Animated Cartoon ST. LOUIS, MO, June 9, 2017 – The St. Louis Cardinals are using today’s 37th anniversary of Whitey Herzog [...]
A few days ago, Stephen Piscotty addressed the media and spoke of a family issue that is unimaginably difficult to go through. After playing in a game or two upon his return, he addressed the media again after a blunder out in right field. The ball got lost in the sun and he missed what [...]
Many of you may have thought that it was the Cardinals’ weak play against the Reds that has kept me away from the computer, but that’s not quite the truth. (That said, it’s hard to get too motivated about writing about yet more losses.) There have been a few things going on, most notably my [...]
Club Hosts Kick-Off Event With 20 Fourth Grade Students at Local Elementary School ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 7 2017 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced the launch of their new baseball themed educational course Summer Slugger, powered by the digital learning innovator EVERFI. Each summer, students lose critical math and literacy skills, widening the achievement [...]
Mo: “Mike? It’s Mo. Saw that Volquez no-hitter the other night. Looked like a good time. We haven’t had one of those since Bud Smith. Haven’t even seen one recently. The stat nerds tell me the last one against us was some pudgy guy for the Dodgers back in 1990. Heck, I didn’t even know [...]
International Award Recognizes Real Estate Projects that Achieve the Highest Standard of Excellence in Innovative Design, Construction, Economics, Planning, and Management ST. LOUIS, MO (June 5, 2017) – The St. Louis Cardinals and The Cordish Companies are proud to announce that Ballpark Village has been selected as a finalist for the Urban Land Institute’s (ULI) [...]
When the Cardinals signed Dexter Fowler to 5 year / $82.5M deal, he was presented as a lasting solution to a myriad of deficiencies. In theory, he checked several boxes for a team that needed a CF, a lead-off man, and a big name free agent signing to silence the Ballpark Village People clamoring for [...]
The Cardinals spent the weekend in Chicago. It didn’t go well. Three games, three leads lost, three games on the wrong side of the ledger. All that equals third place and two games (an alteration on a theme) under .500. We have to look at the games because I’m a completist, but it’s not going [...]
I blame Brett Cecil for pretty much everything now. Stub my toe? Blame Cecil. Accidentally trip the house alarm? Stupid reliever. Diaz strikes out? It’s somehow Cecil’s fault. Yet another long Tim McCarver tale about Tim McCarver? Yeah, that’s Cecil too. The bullpen seems to be in shambles, and Cecil deserves no less than 104% [...]
