Who knew that ballpark design could become such a hot topic? As you all know by now, the Cardinals won the rubber game against the Reds 4-3 when Yadier Molina (our Hero for so many reasons) doubled in Matt Carpenter in the bottom of the ninth to break the tie. However, the ball seems to [...]

LOUIS, Mo., September 29, 2016 – In the event the Cardinals finish the 2016 regular season tied with either the New York Mets or San Francisco Giants for the second National League Wild Card spot, a tiebreaker game will be held at Busch [...]
Is anyone really surprised that I went straight to the Star Wars well to try to describe this evening? I didn’t think so. Also, I’m just now realizing Albert Pujols was the Goat in the last regular season game he played in St. Louis. A Wild, Wild, Wild Night Luke’s X-Wing has sunk into the [...]
Right now, every game is a must win if the Cardinals want to go to the playoffs. Can we agree on that? Any loss puts them in a bad position. This is a tightrope over Niagara Falls and any loss could send them plunging into the water. So losing–again–to the Cincinnati Reds is a real, [...]
After the wildest of Septembers, the rush of winning while others were inexplicably losing, we came to the greatest day in baseball history. This was on the site as we got ready for the last night of the 2011 season. Tied For First It’s a phrase that Tony La Russa likes to use a lot. [...]
One thing that we’ve said over and over about this year’s version of the Cardinals (and, indeed, many other years as well) is that they seem to be allergic to momentum. Big wins never spark long winning streaks. Thankfully, it goes both ways. A day after completely not showing up, the Cardinals gave an early [...]

When last we got together, the Cardinals were in a three-way tie for the wild card (either of them) and while they had some challenges ahead, they were nothing that a team going to October shouldn’t be able to handle. Instead, St. Louis has lost three of four and while you could fashion some explanations [...]

LOUIS, Mo., September 26, 2016 – The Cardinals return to Busch Stadium and look to secure a National League Wild Card playoff berth during its last seven games of the year. The final regular-season homestand begins with [...]
There was a train of thought, completely sound, that the Cardinals had to sweep the Rockies to keep their wild card chances legitimate. They weren’t quite able to do that (sweeps are hard, especially for this team who hasn’t swept a three game series since the four-gamer against the Padres in mid-July and again failed [...]
As the Cardinals struggle to make the playoffs this year and the lynch mob gets ready to hang Mike Matheny should we fall short, I thought it might be time for some perspective, good or bad. I looked into Cardinals team history for managers to compare Matheny with, skipping Tony La Russa (who did have [...]
