Every day, usually early in the afternoon, the lineup for the St. Louis Cardinals is released. That usually opens the floodgates for the legion of armchair managers to then start picking it apart, wondering what Mike Shildt is thinking, why is he putting this guy there and why can’t that guy move up. It’s as [...]
The Cardinals tossed another couple of trends out of the window last night. They had their first loss to a NL East team and their first loss during the week. Guys, we told you, this “losing the weekend” thing only works if you are going to win every game during the week. Do other teams [...]
As the (sigh, old) song goes, “everybody’s working for the weekend“. That must include the Cardinals, because they have won any game that has been held Monday-Thursday. Saturday and Sunday? Not so much. There haven’t been any games on Friday yet so we don’t know if the team considers that part of the work week [...]
Seriously, who is scripting this baseball season? Because yesterday’s game was a mix of tired repeats and cliched writing. And, by the end, it was glorious. Yesterday, the Cardinals won their home opener 3-1 in a game that will only be remembered for one moment. The moment that Nolan Arenado became, truly, a St. Louis [...]
A sweep in Miami isn’t the craziest thing that you could see from the Cardinals. After all, before last night the Cardinals were 64-36 in Miami since the Marlins came into being in 1993. (Busch has been kinder to the Fish, though they still trail there 56-45.) So it’s not the first sweep, but it [...]
You know, I’d just about had this team figured out. If they scored multiple runs in the first inning, they won. Otherwise, they didn’t. No need to wait until the end of the game, the first would tell you all you need to know. Last night, however, they finally sent that shorthand packing. The two [...]

But as everyone knows, he might not be the answer we deserve. Getting John Gant to trend on Twitter should have been the first clue. The Cardinals with their almost always faithful fan base (see Carpenter, Matt) do many things well including constant attempts at keeping social media more happy. I left nearly every account [...]

When last we got together in this space, we were still on cloud nine after a not-perfect but still exciting and enjoyable Opening Day. The Cards were 1-0, the offense had clicked, and good times seemed the order of the day. That didn’t last long. While two losses shouldn’t create any more panic than one [...]
Yesterday, we said that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. We might have just seen one of 162 games, but that first step was a doozy in a great way. I mean, what was there not to like? The Cardinals scored six runs in the first inning, meaning that already [...]
