I have to admit, I wasn’t surprised when the Cardinals optioned Mike Parisi to Memphis in favor of Mitchell Boggs on Friday. In hindsight, it’s actually looking like the right move, with Todd Wellemeyer still nursing his elbow, and Boggs scheduled to take his turn in the rotation on Tuesday in Cincinnati. But I also […]

Lots of ups and downs this week – let’s review: Anyone else feel like the Cardinals badly need a sweep? It should’ve happened in the Nats series, but instead Ryan Franklin did his best Jason Isringhausen imitation. They really need to get on a tear to get some confidence back, it would seem. Sooner or […]

I haven’t done a game post in a while. Will this be the game when someone finally joins in with me while I rant on in the comments about the progress of the game?!?! Stay tuned!

I’m admittedly a bit behind on the particulars of this draft and who the Cards are looking at, but thankfully some of my fellow writers are all over it and I’ll shamelessly link all of their info here: Future Redbirds has been all over the draft – it’s their business – and are speculating on […]

…by umpire Dana Demuth and the Nats’ grounds crew last night, to get that game through five full innings, much less finish the thing. It would’ve been horrible for the Cards to explode offensively like that in the first inning and have it all be for naught. A few notes from the game: I hope […]

Todd Wellemeyer is the National League’s Pitcher of the Month for May. Stop. Sit down. Let that sink in for a minute. It’s not that he isn’t deserving. But the Cardinals got this guy off of the scrap heap. He has pitched fabulously in the month of May. Dave Duncan and his magic seem to […]

Tonight’s game was hard to stomach. The Cards produced some early runs with more clutch hitting, a nice 2-out stroke in the first inning by Ryan Ludwick hopefully to get him back on track (he finished two for three, with two RBI). Luddy again struck with a sac fly in the 3rd. Adam Wainwright was […]

I’m going to try to start writing a weekly Sunday post which just kind of highlights my thoughts throughout the weekend. Here goes: Kelvin Jimenez proved me (and a bunch of other people) right. Kudos to Mo and TLR for taking immediate action. Welcome to the big show, Mark Worrell! Given Tony’s usual penchant for […]

The thing everyone notices but few seem to want (or care) to address. (Unfortunately, between embattled closer Jason Isringhausen and Mark Mulder, the Cardinals seem to be asking this question a lot.) Will Chris Duncan ever make it “back”? The idea is that he’s going down to Memphis to regain his stroke, that he’s not […]
