Many times I feel compelled to vent my frustration and decide it would be better to wait and see as baseball has the longest season of any of the professional sports. This campaign has started not unlike many in recent years, but the waiting game in St. Louis has expired. If the Cardinals are content [...]
Nice to see the Cards win last night. (In fact, I was waiting for them to win before making a post. I don’t like grumpy posting.) Last night, Yadier Molina has a sacrifice fly and a homer. The homer extending his hitting streak to 13 games, tied for the longest on the team this season, tying [...]

Scott Andes from LAdodgerreport, a regular participant in the pre-season Playing Pepper series, contacted me since the Cardinals were heading into Chavez Ravine and asked [...]
Given all the things that happened on the diamond this weekend, we weren’t able yesterday to really look at the moves that happened–and didn’t happen–off the field on Saturday. Hours after it was clear that the Cardinals had lost the Luis Robert sweepstakes, John Mozeliak traded Matt Adams to Atlanta for Juan Yepez, a 19-year-old [...]

We’ve seen some fun games, some good wins that felt like THE turning point, some losses that stung and losses that we all felt were hard fought despite the outcome. If you pay attention to twitter and have looked through the past week, it seems many of us [...]
Inigo Montoya: Who are you? Man in Black: No one of consequence. Inigo Montoya: I must know. Man in Black: Get used to disappointment. —The Princess Bride It was about this time last year when I created the Cardinals Frustration Level Index. It feels like over last few weeks, the Cardinals have really been riding [...]
For the longest time, trying to figure out the Cardinals has become one part mystery theater and two parts choose your own adventure. Yes, there have been many more ups over the last decade since my final deployment but in the past calendar year, the downs have begun to creep into the spotlight. Baseball in [...]
