April 2009
In light of Cardinal fans’ most recent Chicken Little moment, I present to you (in no particular order) the Top Ten Reasons that the Cardinals’ 2009 season is already over, only nine games in. Please note: *tongue firmly in cheek*. Because Ryan Ludwick is still on the bench. Because Yadier Molina has that silly yellow […]

What an outing by Todd Wellemeyer last night. Efficient, only 87 pitches through seven innings of work. He scattered some hits, but only allowed one run – and most importantly – only one walk. Gotta make Dave Duncan happy. This Cardinal staff is leading the National League in fewest walks allowed. —– Brian Barden got […]

If you’ve watched ESPN with any regularity today, I’m sure you’ve seen this already. I just saw it this morning. A new ESPN Sportscenter commercial featuring Albert Pujols as “The Machine”. Hilarious. Enjoy.
“We lost our voice today…” — Phillies team president David Montgomery One of the great voices in baseball passed away today in Washington DC. Long time Phillies broadcaster and also voice of NFL Films and the Puppy Bowl (which I couldn’t help but enjoy, seriously), Kalas had a distinctive voice for Phillies fans similar to […]
In what was a great weekend series for the Cardinals, we learned a few things. It is much easier to win and far less stressful on the bullpen when the Cardinals can produce either A) ten-plus runs or B) get a three-hit complete game shutout from a starting pitcher. Kyle Lohse is clearly on a […]

For all you fantasy baseball players reading along, we were asked to contribute for a post checking in on the Cardinals over at Fantasy Baseball Hot Stove today. This will be a semi-regular feature over there, with FBHS picking our brain about the Redbirds, from a fantasy slant. Please go check out Fresh Out of […]
[Ed. note – today we have a guest post from Alex Eisenberg of Baseball-Intellect.com on Memphis relief pitcher Jess Todd. Todd is making the switch from starter to reliever in Memphis this season, and many believe he could be on the short list for a callup to St Louis at some point this season. Alex […]
Dear Tony: I have to pay for this domain name. It was based upon a promise you made a little over a year ago to strategically get Albert Pujols more at-bats while still getting him into the cleanup spot. I thought it so unique that I ran out and started this site. Now you’re reneging […]

I’m not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, and by each and every measure, Chris Carpenter exceeded my wildest expectations with his start today against the Pirates, even collecting the win after the Cards lineup rallied behind some pinch hitters in the bottom of the seventh inning.
