I had the unfortunate displeasure last night of sitting through almost an entire game at Busch Stadium with a loud, obnoxious know-it-all “fan” blathering on and on right behind me. The man looked to be in his early to mid 70’s, and he seemed harmless enough until he claimed that Brandon Dickson had just made his […]

I hate to break the news to everybody else in Cardinal Nation, but the chances of the Cardinals reaching the playoffs increased from just above 1.0% to a whopping 4.3% after a 3 game sweep of the Brewers. With only 24 games left on their schedule, the Brewers have a magic number of 18 to […]

Don’t worry Boo-Boo, the Rangers have Adrian Beltre who is practically “Mr. Consistency” in non-contract years, so they will be just fine. They might miss Nelson Cruz, but Beltre will pick them up. That’s the same Beltre who hit .340 last year and is the best defensive 3B in baseball according to CJ Wilson. Don’t […]

Admit it. Y’all have already huddled around water coolers, in break rooms, or gathered for drinks after work to discuss the state of the Cardinals more than once recently and discussed bringing back Berkman, Albert’s contract, and/or the state of TLR’s mental health. That’s all well and good, but how many of you did your homework […]

If you take that “go big or go home” mentality, then this is just about as big as it gets right now. No, I’m not actually suggesting an outright trade of Chris Carpenter for Cole Hamels, but I am suggesting that the Cardinals could basically replace Chris Carpenter with Cole Hamels. The problem is that […]

Maybe the Cardinals have been going about things all wrong for the past couple of weeks. The Redbirds did nothing on the field worth noting yesterday, and yet they picked up a half game on the Brewers in the standings. “Huzzah” for doing nothing, I say. If only the Cardinals could pick up a few games by doing […]

If you didn’t take time to read PH8’s Constitution of Bloggery (aka Where Optimism and Realism Diverge) for all Cardinal fans who seek balance and harmony between the opposing forces of cliff jumping and foolish optimism, then please go do it now. His take was really inspired as he sought to bring equilibrium to the force. I […]

For any of you ready to pop champagne corks to celebrate the way the Rasmus trade has worked out, it’s just a bit early for gloating. Trades involving young players like Colby Rasmus, Edwin Jackson, Corey Patterson, and Marc Rzepczynski are often measured both in terms of immediate impact and extended careers. To say that […]
