Now that the MLB Draft is in the rear view, the countdown until the inevitable has started in some strange ways and not just due to the first losing summer since 2007. The Cardinals are making almost daily statements which is all well and good but where will it lead? For the St. Louis front [...]
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. [...]
When it was announced that the MLB Draft was moving from June to join the All-Star festivities, the thought was to bridge the gap with the next wave of potential stars. It also coincided with the end of short-season leagues so after a year of internal debate, the decision was money-driven but will pay off [...]
Last time we got together in space (unlike at the other spot) we discussed that perhaps the worst was over. A new month, a day off to reset after a tough trip, and things had to be looking up. It seemed like things really couldn’t get worse. The Cardinals are four games into a winless [...]
So If I was superstitious or egotistical, I’d say that the Cardinals terrible work in 2023 was my fault.

This isn’t an overreaction piece. The first week has been loaded with things to overreact to and social media has mostly been insufferable. There is nothing truly positive about the team, right now, for the beat writers, columnists and bloggers to write about. It’s a barren wasteland of pure awfulness. Well… Jordan Walker has been [...]
Conventional wisdom coming into this season said that the Cardinals were going to resemble the 2004 squad–remarkable depth in the lineup, a very good back of the bullpen, and fair-to-good rest of the staff. There were going to be nights when the pitching staff couldn’t cut it but the offense would cover them. This might [...]

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 [...]
