The Versus network was showing “Greatest MLB Rivalries: Cardinals vs Cubs” the other night, and I happily volunteered one hour of my life to watching the show. I pretty much know the contents by heart, but I never pass up the opportunity to listen to a retelling of the “Curse of the Billy Goat“. […]

“Don’t worry about a thing, ‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right.” ~Bob Marley (Three Little Birds) Leave it to Bob Marley to put it so eloquently. I’m not the official spokesperson for Cardinal Nation, but I think I speak for at least a small group of fans when I say “Kindly leave us the […]

Somewhere hidden beneath the sticks of dynamite, giant rubber bands, and huge boulders in Dan Lozano’s car trunk there is probably an ACME brand “Sports Agent In-A-Box” kit. He probably has the at-home version as well. Judging by recent events, he’s probably dog-eared several pages in the chapter on “Conquering the Baseball World […]

I’m definitely not Miss Manners, and I’ll never be confused with Emily Post. However, I am the owner of the one ManFridge to rule them all, and ManFridge has some baseball etiquette reminders for all of you diehard baseball fans who are coming out of hiberation at the first signs of spring training.

I’m not good with deadlines. All the guessing games annoy me, and quite frankly I’ve grown tired of people tossing numbers around like they’re plotting their strategy for cowchip bingo or something. 10/300? 8/225? Can I get a 15/450? Seriously. Stop it. Move past the basic parameters of a regular contract and start thinking in […]

At some point, I’m waiting for an outbreak of common sense to strike. The sky will no longer be falling, and people will stop preaching “doom and gloom” to the members of Cardinal Nation for the sake of page views and ratings. Ultimately, the factual reality will prevail over conjecture, hearsay, and third generation innuendo […]

That’s right. One time and one time only. In this corner, it’s 11 time All-Star catcher and current HOF member Gary Carter. In the opposite corner, it’s 8 time All-Star catcher and notorious HOF snub Ted Simmons (aka Simba). They are squaring off in the Devil’s Advocate Octagon of Baseball Pain and Enlightenment to determine […]

With the Cardinals facing the prospect of giving a substantial pay raise to arguably the best player in baseball, I thought I’d try and help the team out with some fundraising ideas. No ordinary bake sales or car washes will do for this team, though. This situation calls for some extraordinary, out-of-the box ideas, and […]
