This team treats me like a yo-yo and I keep coming back for more. This week’s version will likely be short, as I missed lots of action while globe-trotting for work. At any rate, here goes this week’s Spitballs: If you are religious in any way, believe in anything at all, pray or meditate or […]
Lots of red here… Love it. Go Cards!
Fresh off of a two-inning, one hit, no runs performance yesterday afternoon, Jason Isringhausen is hopefully feeling a little better about himself. I hope that Tony doesn’t feel the same. Sure, Izzy finally put together some pitches, even throwing most for strikes. This does not in the slightest form mean that he should be allowed […]

Cardinal starting pitcher Joel Pineiro gave the team a much needed seven inning start last night against the Dodgers. Pineiro wasn’t particularly sharp early, surrendering three runs in the first three innings, but the big Cardinal fourth inning – puntuated by back-to-back home runs by Albert Pujols and Ryan Ludwick (is there an internal MVP […]

First big-league save tonight for Chris Perez! This was a big one for the Cards, and it was even of the multiple inning variety (1 2/3)! Perez bailed out the bullpen after a marvelous seven inning start by Joel Pineiro. My boy Brad Thompson was ineffective in one-third of an inning, proving I should never […]
You may have noticed by the lack of my wit and knowledge around here that I have already, by the middle of the week, had one of the longest weeks of the year to date. Work is keeping me hectic and on-the-go. Last night, that was a blessing in disguise. Having already listened to the […]

The Cardinals claimed infielder Felipe Lopez off of waivers from the Washington Nationals late last night. Lopez can play second base, shortstop, and third base. It is also purported that he can play outfield, but I’d prefer he stay within the diamond. This is kind of a ‘bleh’ move, certainly not one to overwhelm the […]
By now you’ve probably seen the post below, written by avid PH8 reader StLCards. Given my recent (hopefully not too regular) travel schedule for work, I’ve asked StLCards to contribute some posts here and there when he feels he’s got something to tell you folks. I appreciate what he has already added to the site […]
My apologies for the lack of posts the last few days, a spotty internet outage has kept me barely connected. Dear Russ Springer: Shane Victorino murdered that pitch the first time you threw it. What made you think it was a good idea to throw it again? My man-crush on Ryan Ludwick is growing by […]
