I mean, technically I don’t have to do anything here at the blog. Nobody’s paying me, nobody’s made that a requirement besides myself. Heck, there’s no guarantee anyone’s even reading. However, we’ve been doing Heroes and Goats for almost nine seasons now and even at this low point, we’re not going to give that up. [...]
Another night, another one-run lead. This time, Seung-hwan Oh was more the guy we’ve seen all year long and less the guy we saw Tuesday night. Oh did allow a one-out single, which made the inning longer since the Reds pinch-ran Billy Hamilton, which meant a lot of throw overs, but he was able to [...]

LOUIS, Mo., August 3, 2016 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced today that they have placed left-handed pitcher Tyler Lyons (right knee stress reaction) on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to July 31, and recalled left-handed pitcher Dean Kiekhefer from Memphis (AAA).

In the 1997 Disney film Hercules, there’s a training montage set to the song “Zero To Hero“, showing how quickly Hercules went from a nobody to a full-fledged hero. Last night, a couple of Cardinal bullpen stalwarts reversed the script, starting out at the highs and quickly hitting the depths. The biggest problem was, one [...]
For those of you from St. Louis, you’re probably familiar with Six Flags over Mid-America. For people, not from that area, Six Flags is our local amusement park, full of roller coasters and other fun things. I haven’t been there in ages, but I still remember my favorite ride, the Screaming Eagle roller coaster. As [...]
OK, so there probably weren’t actually 50 ways on display this weekend in Miami, but it’s not like Paul Simon used 50 in the song either and I’m just as able to use poetic license as a legendary musician, right? It was a frustrating end to the series, made more so on Sunday when defeat [...]
Wow, times they are a changing. Building from with-in has turned into a novelty, and all Cardinals fans should prepare for an interesting 24 hours. The fun began early this morning when the St. Louis front office made the big league club better and proved how much Harrison Bader has put himself on the map. [...]
Welcome to the Silly Season! Now that my favorite part of the season has passed (Draft) followed by an extremely eventful July 2nd (International Signing) period, it only makes sense to dive right in for my first post of 2016. The timing is right to re-introduce myself just as the craziest part of the calendar [...]
We sometimes forget that the big trade didn’t take effect immediately. The drama was just getting started! Also, I was a bit wrong on TLR’s intentions….. Is It Too Late? The idea at the trade deadline is to give a team an added boost to push them to the finish line. While it’s way too [...]
First, it was Noah Syndergaard. Then it was snapping Jeurys Famila’s save streak. Something about facing the top guys, dealing with the long odds, brings out the best in this team. It’s something I’ve noticed in years past as well. I don’t know if it’s a mental toughness or what, but it seems to happen [...]
