Unless you are measuring an entire season, any sort of sample from the baseball year really involved arbitrary endpoints. We say someone hit .270 in June, but maybe that was .300 for a couple of weeks and .250 later. Or maybe we could have just as easily measured from May 15 to June 15. We [...]
As noted philosopher Rachel Green once said (and was echoed in Moneyball by Billy Beane/Brad Pitt), there’s rock bottom, 50 feet of crap, then us. We thought things were bad earlier in the month. We thought there was nowhere to go but up. Then the Cardinals lost four in a row against the Tigers and [...]
Hey there all, I live! I’ve actually moved back to St. Louis, so I’m not the Baseball Geek in Galveston anymore and will likely change my alias at some point. One of the first things I thought about when I got back up here was bringing the blog back to life. I know it’s been [...]
Let me start by saying that I do not have an answer to the question that I pose. Mostly, this is me calling out the continued failure of the Cardinals front office and the their affinity to sit on their hands. Specifically, their failure to address the desperate need for Major League starting pitching. I [...]
$1.2 Million Field Renovation and Construction Project Provides New Baseball and Softball Fields for Student Athletes at Former Home of the St. Louis Stars Negro National League Team ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 25, 2021– Today the St. Louis Cardinals, in conjunction with Cardinals Care and Harris-Stowe State University, announced the dedication of Stars Park Field [...]
Swept. By the Tigers. I know it was only a two game series, so it doesn’t have the import of a “real” sweep. On the other hand, it was Detroit. You wouldn’t expect to lose two games to them in a three game series, much less a shorter one. A split of the two-gamer would [...]
What have we said as we looked forward to the next two or so weeks of Cardinals baseball? We’ve said that they have to beat these terrible teams that are standing between them and the San Francisco/Chicago end of the first half of the season. We’ve pointed out how well the Cardinals have done against [...]

As regular readers and Twitter followers know, last week I was out on vacation. The first part of the week was spent in an area with no wifi and spotty cell service, which would have been a great chance for me to then put the Cardinals out of mind and enjoy not worrying about them. [...]

Thank goodness for Adam Wainwright. Our Hero went to the mound with a lot on his shoulders last night. Not only had the Cardinals lost six games, but if he faltered, there was a less than zero chance this losing streak could reach double digits. Earlier Mike Shildt announced that the rotation for this weekend [...]
I’ll admit that I didn’t see much of last night’s Cardinals game. Then again, I think we have all seen that game plenty of times before. I had a church meeting last night and afterwards checked the score. It was 2-0 in the bottom of the second with runners on. Not the best first inning [...]
