This is something new I am developing here in the Cardinal Nerve Center. A post once a week dealing with the fans perspective. Far too often, I come here and spill my beans about the Cards and what they are doing and hope for people to read it and digest it. Well, I thought, why [...]
There are two games to play. The Cards have a one game lead over Pittsburgh as I speak so it’s okay to unleash a little story time here at the Buffa’s on a cool and calm Saturday afternoon. Every time the playoffs get closer, I think of one thing. Game 6. 2011 World Series. [...]
The ALS Ice Bucket challenge was fantastic and helped shed light on a terrible disease. With that in mind, a couple trusted twitter followers and myself have come up with a new challenge. For baseball fans around the country. Maybe the world. This challenge will be a stiff test for men mostly, at least the [...]
There are certain movies that a film-addict simply can’t avoid. They may be bad but I watch them anyway. Any romantic comedy from the 80’s. A Transformers flick on FX. Loverboy with Patrick Dempsey. They aren’t good cinema, but I watch because somehow, the interest level is there. I like to think of it as [...]
The last two wins have drained plenty of people across the Midwest. Late inning victories. Relentless action. Playoff style baseball. I sat on my couch last night and my hands started to shake as the Cards climbed a 2-0 deficit in the bottom of the 8th inning. My heart started beating fast. I strangled my [...]
Good afternoon folks. It’s a lunch break dose here, so the time to engage is 20 minutes. Here we go. All I can think of and put on a page about the Cards. *Starting with Lance Lynn. Post All Star Break, Lynn is 5-3 with a 2.06 ERA in 70 innings. He has 61 strikeouts [...]
Look, I may not be a medical expert or a certified trainer or anything, but I can still recognize a bad decision from afar. Deep inside the walls of Busch Stadium, Michael Wacha‘s 2014 prospects hang in the balance and within the center of a few people’s thoughts and decision making. Mike Matheny, John Mozeliak, [...]
Every time hitters step into the box, they are taking a huge risk. It is part of their job and the way they make their money but in a day and age where pitchers are throwing 100 mph moving fastballs, the danger is apparent every time a pitch is thrown to the plate. Often, I [...]
I am in the midst of training my son(3 years old on Sunday) to use the toilet and every time he feels like revolting, he tells me with a stern glare, “NOT YET DADDY!” I feel like telling many Cardinal fans and Mike Matheny the same thing about the 2014 regular season. It’s far from [...]
Good afternoon folks. It’s Sunday and another chance for the Cardinals to win a series and gain ground in the Central Division. After throwing the Brewers a bone and losing Friday night, the Cards came back last night and won in typical 2014 Redbird fashion. 5 runs, scored in only 2 innings, 4 hits, and [...]
As I ease my blood pressure back to normal and stretch out my folded shut arms, let me tell you how the Cards won #77, which was their season high sixth in a row and put them four games up on the Brewers. BOURJOS & JAY This team has played some of the best defense [...]
I remember writing between Game’s 1 and 2 on Saturday how I didn’t know what to write about with this Cardinals team. I had been driven to the edge and back. I questioned every streak and slump. When a team rides a roller coaster like this 2014 team has, it’s hard to stay seated or [...]
