This is most definitely not 1985, and Ron “Mea” Kulpa is not Don Denkinger. Don Denkinger was not solely responsible for the Cardinals losing game game 6 of the 1985 World Series, and Ron Kulpa was not solely responsible for the Rangers losing game 3 of the 2011 World Series. Cardinal fans were upset in […]

There is nothing quite like a close World Series game….followed by one complaint after another. In no particular order, I’ve heard or read variations of the following: Jon Jay couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn with a baseball from 20 feet away. Albert Pujols should have avoided making an error at all times. Ian […]

World Series Swag Bob Gibson, Bruce Sutter, and Adam Wainwright have always commanded attention while on the pitcher’s mound. When they all took the mound together for ceremonial pitches, it was like watching different 3 points in space-time meeting for just a moment. Geeky? Yes. Awesome? Absolutely. For a fleeting instant, I almost wanted […]

I’ll admit that my interest in the Rangers this year was primarily due to the fact that I had CJ Wilson, Matt Harrison, Colby Lewis, Alexi Ogando, David Murphy, and Mitch Moreland each on a fantasy baseball team at one time or another. Following them more closely than ever, I could help but have a […]

Jaime Garcia held the Brewers to just 1 run in 4 2/3 innings last night, and the bullpen finished off the rest of game to put the Cardinals just 1 win away from the World Series. Unfortunately, Garcia’s performance did little to silence those who have voiced concern about his ability to pitch his way out […]

Yes, there needs to be one. No, it’s not just for people who commit egregious party fouls (double dipping). It’s also for any of the “Best Fans in Baseball” who gave up on the Cardinals way back in August….or July….or anytime at all this season. It’s also good for any Cardinal fans who stopped watching […]

Reporter: “Coach, what do you think about your team’s execution?” Coach John McKay: “I’m all for it.” The Cardinals should definitely be looking ahead, but there are several valuable lessons worth taking away from last night. They are much the same lessons that have been giving the guys fits all season long, and it is never too late […]

“You can’t ask for anything more than to be playing meaningful games in September with a chance to make the playoffs.” ~Practically every player/coach/manager on a team about to miss the playoffs. Boom goes the dynamite, people. I sincerely hope that the folks in the video department for the Cardinals took time to piece together […]
