This really isn’t the way I wanted to start off my 2016 posting, but since it’s the first thing that’s really been worth writing about in the new year, you take what you get. On Friday, former Cardinal scouting director Chris Correa pleaded guilty to his role in the hacking of the Houston Astros database. [...]

You might as well call me Captain Doom n Gloom, because here’s my main thought for 2016: What if the Cardinals miss the playoffs? I realize we won 100 games last year, but as I (and everybody else) has mentioned, plenty of things have changed. We’ve lost some key players, two to a division rival, [...]
It’s been quiet of late, but there’s no doubt that 2015 had its share of newsworthy moments. Every season has its plotlines, its notable occurrences, but this year will be memorable for a number of different reasons.

News broke last week that Yadier Molina had another thumb surgery after the previous surgery “didn’t take” (whatever that means); he’ll miss most of spring training due to it. My concern over the last 2 years was the heavy work load that Molina employed for the early part of his career; I believed his knees [...]
Anyone that has read me, followed me on Twitter, or actually exchanged more than a handful of words with me knows that I’m a huge fan of Star Wars. Unsurprisingly, this passion has occasionally mingled in with the love of the Cardinals. In the 8 1/2 years that I’ve been writing, I’ve had seven [...]
Free Agency is a dangerous beast. It appears tantalizing at first, and often draws reluctant GM’s (and quite a few eager ones) into it’s maw. Often the contracts offered pay off, but some don’t, and the most dangerous ones, the long term ones, usually feature late 20’s early 30’s players who often have faded by [...]
