In life, people say that you can’t help who you love. Often, it’s a parent or concerned friend who is telling you this because you love someone who may not be in everyone’s good graces. The person you love may not be everybody’s favorite. Your love might frustrate, confuse, irritate, annoy or depress your family [...]
With a seemingly innocuous social media reminder regarding one of approximately 471 promotions at Busch Stadium this year, the Cardinals managed to author a tweet that launched a thousand negative reactions. Running the gamut from predictably insensitive to “meh” to unparalleled outrage, those reactions provide a reminder that social media users enjoy getting offended and [...]
After a 14-inning marathon on Sunday, the Cardinals needed one thing desperately and another thing that would be great. They needed a solid start and a good bit of offense to make sure the game wasn’t too close. Carlos Martinez provided both. El Gallo, as he is known at times, seems to have gotten back [...]
Apparently the Braves have a great new ballpark. The Cardinals loved it. In fact, they’d like to play there a lot more against the Braves if this weekend was any indication. A sweep in Atlanta helped dull the pain of outfielders dropping like mics after pointed comments. However, before we get into those games, we [...]
OUTFIELDER TOMMY PHAM RECALLED FROM MEMPHIS (AAA); JHONNY PERALTA TO BEGIN INJURY REHAB ASSIGNMENT AT PALM BEACH (A) ATLANTA, GA., May 5, 2017 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced today that outfielder Stephen Piscotty (right hamstring strain) have been placed on the 10-day disabled list and that outfielder Tommy Pham has been recalled from Memphis [...]
I thought, as a way to get myself going, I’d take a look at how some players are doing, guys who either struggled last year or missed 2016 entirely. Mike Leake, who we signed last year after we couldn’t get David Price, is off to a good start. Currently, Leake is 3-1 with a 1.35 ERA, [...]
Man, good thing Carlos Martinez got his hair cut, huh? OK, no reasonable person actually believes that there was a connection between Martinez’s silver extensions and his rough play as of late. People may joke about it but nobody honestly thinks that is the difference. (Though Martinez may have bought into that a bit, saying [...]

Every single time Ryan Braun plays in St. Louis, he’s met with boos. Loud ones. Energetic ones with a viciousness powered by raw dislike bordering on hatred. You can practically smell the loathing through the KMOX audio feed. The former NL #MVPee gets similar treatment in other stadiums as well, but the Best Fans in [...]
In Monday night’s game, oh so many things didn’t go in favor of the Cardinals. We tied the game, only to lose it in late innings. Our closer, Seung-hwan Oh, gave up a 3 run homer and as it turns out, that would seal our fate. In this game, as in many games so far [...]
My baseball moment is Waino vs Beltran in 2006. Born in the 80s, I knew some about Ozzie and Willie and then knew a few guys in the 90s, but 2006 was when I fell in love. Wainwright closing that game was mesmerizing for me. I was pacing and crossing my fingers and closing my [...]
