I imagine they, more than any other group, will be glad of the limited time zone changes for their TV watching this season. C70: Does the shortened season work for or against your team? James: I think it works [...]

No Mets, Braves, or Nationals this season for the Cardinals? That’s going to be weird. We continue Playing Pepper 2.0 by checking out those teams with National League ties on the East Coast. C70: Does the shortened season work for or against your team? Kris: Originally, I would have said that the Braves were one [...]
It was only a few days ago that we took a look at the bullpen. If it was unsettled then, it’s completely up in the air now. With Jordan Hicks making the right move for him and opting out (the first non-highly paid veteran and the first high-risk player to do so, I believe), things [...]
It’s another trip around the sun for the blog. Back in 2007, less than two months after my second child was born, I fired up Wordpress and started complaining about Kip Wells. 2007 wasn’t exactly the greatest year to start writing a Cardinal-centric blog, what with Chris Carpenter hurt and the World Series fading quickly [...]

The Cardinals played some games this weekend against themselves. They did some drills. They modified the rules. The press box folks got to fancy themselves play-by-play guys, reiterating once and for all that we really need baseball on our screens instead of in text updates. Everything seemed hunky-dory and things seem to be speeding toward [...]
Remember back when this all started we were finishing up our Playing Pepper series? With so many things different now, I thought I’d shoot a few quick questions to a representative of each team to see how things were looking for them. Let’s start with the AL East! C70: Does the shortened season work for [...]
After stops and starts earlier in the week when testing issues kept the Cardinals from the field, it seems like they’ve started to find their rhythm over the last few days. All the workouts and games have been moved to the evening, which makes sense given the blazing summer heat that is running through seemingly [...]
Whether the season happens or not, you can tell that it at least is appearing to happen.
