“Talking the Business of Baseball with Bill DeWitt III” features Q&A along with dinner, cocktails & private Museum look ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 17, 2016 – The St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum will host an exclusive event entitled “Talking the Business of Baseball with Bill DeWitt III” on Saturday, July 9, from [...]
The last time we got together, everything seemed pretty rosy. (Not necessarily Rosie, of course.) The Cardinals had won five straight games to move to seven over .500. They were in the first wild card position and while the division still was well out of reach, at least the gap wasn’t in double digits at [...]
I just very recently got a new computer. I needed an upgrade. Not the shiniest one out there, but an upgrade over the one I had. Like my PC, Mike Leake wasn’t the shiniest toy out there when we got him. David Price was out there, we were working on re-signing Heyward, etc. None of [...]
20 PLAYERS SIGNED OVERALL, INCLUDING SIX FROM THE TOP 10 ROUNDS ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 15, 2016 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced they have signed 2016 first round pick, 33rd overall selection, Dylan Carlson, as well as 19 additional players, to minor league contracts. Carlson, an outfielder from Elk Grove High School in [...]
Note: I’ve not had the kind of time I’d like to spend writing about the Cardinals on a consistent basis. However, with the time that I do have, I’ve transitioned most of my Cardinals commentary into a video blog style “YouTube show.” I figured I’d continue to share them here, as well as via Twitter, etc. [...]
Pooches In The Ballpark, Superhero Theme Night & Father’s Day Highlight The Fifth Homestand of the Season ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 14, 2016 – After taking five of six games on their latest road trip, the Cardinals head back to Busch Stadium for a two game series versus former NL division rival Houston Astros (June [...]
If you’ve read this site long enough, first my apologies and second you may remember back when Houston and St. Louis had a strong rivalry going in the NL Central. Before Bud Selig’s need for perpetual interleague required a sacrificial lamb (you may be able to tell what I think of that idea), the Cardinals and [...]
What’s not to love? A weekend sweep of your closest (in the standings) divisional rival. Moving into the first wild card spot. Getting great starting pitching and a continuation of the good offense we’ve seen most of the year. I mean, if I’m paraphrasing a line from Episode I as a post title, you know [...]
It took over two months, but finally these Cardinals went where they’ve never been before this season, four games over .500. Then they went out and took the next step, albeit in pretty interesting fashion. We’ve got a three game winning streak to talk about! If this keeps up, we won’t have to debate which [...]
There is no doubt that this Cardinals season has seen more than its share of frustrations. It seems to me that there needs to be some sort of scale, of a level that you can quickly identify where you personally or the fanbase as a whole is sitting at. I mean, some things are just [...]

Yesterday I conducted a little poll about our new third baseman Jhonny Peralta (yes Peralta has been with the team for a bit, but he hasn’t been our regular third baseman before). Here are the results. This isolates his fielding from everything else. After all, he’s not going to whack two doubles every night like he [...]
