Simply put, a “conundrum” is a particularly difficult problem that cannot be solved in a satisfactory manner (yes I just made up that definition). It just so happens to be an appropriate way to describe the position I find myself in when the Cardinals make a move that I consider nonsensical or downright dumb. I absolutely […]

Should MLB just hold a big job fair? Seriously, it seems like every team is still looking to fill a spot or two, and they just can’t quite come to terms with who they want at whatever price they want to pay. Why draw this thing out all winter? This process should work something more […]

I detest the phrase “perfect game”, and I think it should be removed from the baseball vernacular for good. Why? In it’s current form, it’s used to denote a winning effort that lasts a minimum of nine innings in which no opponent reaches base. Basically, a “perfect game” is a “no-hitter” + “shutout” + “walk free” […]

What would you do if Michael Vick joined the St. Louis Cardinals? Obviously, that is not really a reasonable question. It’s just the quickest way to get the point across. I have a better question. What would you do if someone who had committed the same crimes, served the same sentence, and had the same reputation […]

Potentially talented pitching staff led by innings eater who is signed through the next several seasons? Check. Talented young nucleus mixed with veteran leadership and experienced bullpen help? Check. Sound familiar? We’re either talking about the current […]

If you haven’t already read the piece on the Albert Pujols negotiations penned by ESPN’s Jayson Stark, then you can find it here. Alternatively, you can just keep reading the regular feeds from your favorite Cardinals bloggers, because Jayson’s piece really just summarizes everything the aforementioned bloggers have been discussing for months. 8 yrs at […]

At several points during the 2010 season, the Cardinals either had a 6th starting pitcher on the roster, or they had an injured starting pitcher out for the year (or both). It’s safe to say that they are a bit too familiar with the concept of replacing a starting pitcher or two during the season, […]

Blame the guy who hired the messenger. I’m nearly the last person on Earth who would normally consider defending sports agents, because I don’t exactly consider them to be the last bastion of altruism. Agents represent clients. More precisely, agents attempt to represent their clients’ interests. They do a lot of other things such as […]
