Last year, I spent the time immediately after the season examining each player that had made an appearance in St. Louis during the season. This series was well received and so I’m bringing this idea back for the 2013 offseason. More summaries than anything, I imagine the player coming into Mike Matheny‘s office and having a [...]
Thanks to comments here and elsewhere, some more jerseys got their turn in the spotlight. We’ve got two new posts up on our Facebook page, which you should like if you haven’t already! Since there are so many of them, I believe a second post is in order. So kick back and enjoy round 2! [...]
As you all know, I’m a huge Star Wars fan. Which means, sometimes, that I see the events of real life through the prism of a galaxy far, far away. For instance, you remember in Return of the Jedi when our heroes are captured and about to be fed to the ravenous Sarlacc. Thinking about [...]
It’s tough to ask for a better weekend to close out a season than the one the Cardinals just had. Wonderful weather, plus three wins and a myriad of attained goals? All against their rivals, the Chicago Cubs? Yes, please! Let’s do our last recap of regular season games for six months, shall we? Friday [...]
From time to time, I try to tie a couple of my very favorite things–Star Wars and the Cardinals–into a wonderfully tentative package. Since I’m writing this on my phone in a place far, far away from Internet service, I can’t link up my posts of assigning players to characters or rewriting portions of the [...]
Star Wars Night and a visit from St. Louis native, Nelly, highlight the eighth homestand of 2013 ST. LOUIS – August 5, 2013 – Following an eleven-game road trip against playoff-contending teams, the St. Louis Cardinals return to Busch Stadium for a 10-game homestand against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates. Homestand [...]
Ah, the return of baseball. Even if it wasn’t the perfect weekend by Cardinal standards, it was great to see it back on our TV screens. Of course, then we have to deal with an off day immediately after that series, but that’s kinda needed for the run this team is about to go on. [...]
Nelly, Hunting & Fishing Nights and Star Wars Night all head to Busch Stadium ST. LOUIS, Mo. (June 27, 2013) – The St. Louis Cardinals announced four new theme nights for the 2013 season including Nelly Night, Star Wars Night, and two Hunting & Fishing Nights at Busch Stadium. Fans who purchase the special theme night [...]
The BBC has ended weeks of speculation today by selecting St. Louis Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak to portray The Twelfth Doctor in the long-running BBC science fiction series Doctor Who. Showrunner Steven Moffat made the surprise announcement on Mozeliak’s home turf of Busch Stadium prior to Saturday night’s game between the Cardinals and the [...]
The Tenth Doctor: Hello! Okay—New teeth. That’s weird. So where was I? Oh, that’s right. Barcelona! After about six months (at least) of nagging me, I recently caved into the wife’s demands and started watching the modern Doctor Who. It’s grown on me and I try to watch one whenever I can. Of course, one [...]
July 13, 2007 was a long time ago. Kids born then can get their driver’s license today. We used the phrase “avoid it like the plague” without any sort of real-life context. Tobey McGwire was still Spider-Man. Only five Harry Potter movies existed. The Clone Wars was still a year away from hitting TV screens. [...]
If there is one thing baseball is good at, it’s tradition. (OK, so that point could be debated with the changes over the last few years.) Tradition around here states that the beginning of the season means that it’s time for Playing Pepper! This is the fifteenth season–a decade and a half!–of the series that [...]
