Yes, I’m really that bored, and I’m suffering withdrawals from Cardinals baseball. No, it’s just not enough to watch the playoffs. As the saying goes, I don’t have a horse in this race. I’m also not a Yankee hater, because I wouldn’t have an issue with the Cardinals behaving exactly the same way the Yankees do […]

Come spring of 2011, several of us Cardinals fans may be asking that very same question.

I double dog dare […]

Honestly, the members of Cardinal Nation may have a […]

Okay, let’s play GM for a day. Why not pretend to spend someone else’s money and run our favorite baseball team this off-season? Since many of us question every move the team makes (or doesn’t make), let’s give it a shot. This post contains some pertinent information which might be useful for making the tough business decisions the GM makes. There is also some […]

Introduction (aka a bunch of words at the top): An introduction is most certainly in order. I’m Dennis, but you may know me on Twitter as gr33nazn – owner of #ManFridge. I recently authored a post on my personal blog about why I’m not a baseball blogger, so naturally I’m now attempting to be a baseball […]
