It was only a matter of time. It’s the modern version of irresistible force vs immovable object (or Prince Fielder vs Golden Corral as I like to call it). It’s going to be epic. This is beyond epic. It’s “bepic”. This isn’t about Good versus Evil (or Ebil). It’s not that black and white. No, […]
I’m BACK! After over a two week “hiatus” which consisted primarily of being forced to do what’s known in some circles as “work”, I’m back and worse than ever. Fear not, though. It’s not like I used my time wisely and tried to make the world a better place or volunteered to help Carlos Lee […]

After scoring just 15 runs in the first 6 games of the season, it’s fairly safe to say that the Cardinals are not lighting anybody up on offense. With the Redbirds sitting at 2-4, I’m willing to look at the bright side of things for a moment, though. They’ve wasted two pretty good outings by […]
When the Cardinals first made the announcement about “dynamic pricing”, my first reaction was to picture that Bugs Bunny cartoon where he’s mining huge gold nuggets and carrying them into town. My eyes started to roll back into my head, and dollar signs just suddenly appeared to be floating in front of my face. Cha-ching! I was […]
There are many entrances to Busch Stadium. Most of them have big gates and people who ask for your tickets. One of them was reserved just for the members of the United Cardinal Bloggers, and we passed by the display case above on the way through the lobby. Yeah, it was nice. Once we passed […]
Yep, it felt good just to walk up to the stadium knowing that real baseball would be played inside it after the long, cruel winter. It also felt good knowing that there were plent of bathrooms inside said stadium since I’d been practically chugging water since leaving home that morning. With Lou Brock, Bob Gibson, […]
The rumors of Albert Pujols‘ demise have been greatly exaggerated (already). He may have another 700 plate appearances to compensate for his lousy opening day performance, and he does have a history of putting up decent numbers by season’s end. Despite the 0-everything from AP, the Cardinals still had the lead in the 9th with […]

Opening day for the Cardinals is upon us, and you are running low on time to prepare yourself for what should be at least a local holiday some parts of the US. It’s not, but that’s another matter. In order to help you get through the day unscathed, I’ve prepared a survival guide to make […]
There’s nothing quite like opening day at Busch Stadium. This year, the Cardinals have selected former Cardinal great Jim Edmonds to throw out the first pitch. As I’ve already suggested, I believe it would be apropos for Jimmy Ballgame to launch it from either CF or the bullpen just because he’s awesome enough to do […]
