Entertain this post in the hypothetical, if you will. Its July 12th, 2010, the All-Star Break, and all is terribly wrong in the world of Cardinal Nation. Forget the relatively frigid weather of the winter and indulge yourself in a warm summer day. Don’t get too comfortable though. After all, it’s not the Winter-Warmup that [...]

[Ed. note - I know it's July. I know I'm about four-ish weeks late with this post. Sue me. Better late than never, right?]
I was lucky growing up where I did, about a half-hour east of St Louis – “on the Illinois side.” I was able to attend Cardinal games fairly regularly, thanks to [...]

Today's interviewee is Aaron Hooks of Cardinals Diaspora, where Cards [...]

[Ed. note - As part of our vacation reading, I asked my Twitter buddy Jake Wagman, political reporter for the St Louis Post-Dispatch, to do a Q&A with us. Happily, Jake obliged. Extensively. We couldn't have asked for better responses. Jake gave us some great insight into the political workings that go along with a [...]

Today's guest post is from Sherwood Farnham. If you're not already following Sherwood on Twitter @Mstrdstr12, you should be. Thanks Sherwood!]

The Cards took two of three from the Wee Bears this weekend, continuing their strong play at home. Sunday was a different story at Busch III unfortunately, but we’re choosing to stay on the postitve side regarding overall outcome of the series.
A few quick hitters this morning, then we focus on the Braves:

Ryan Ludwick was [...]

Yesterday afternoon’s game obviously requires some revisiting. Yes, I was hoping not to feel like 2008 all over again until later in the season. Yes, the Cardinals have already logged two blown saves for the season in just one game. Yes, we will live to play another day.
Fer chris’sakes people, it was only the first [...]
