Last week I asked the question, “If the Cardinals could add anyone, whom should they add?” I was curious to see which active player — with accompanying contract — Cards fans desire the most. Big thanks to all of you who participated in the poll. We got more than 150 votes, and they were quite […]

Pitching wins championships. Defense wins championships. The best defense is a good offense. A watched pot never boils. These cliches make some sense, but there is no absolute truth to be found among them. The Cardinals won the 2011 World Series with something short of a stellar defense, but it would be woefully inaccurate to […]

There is no questioning the results thus far. Cardinals’ GM John Mozeliak has built a good track record during his time with the team. Is there a method to his madness? Maybe. He may not have a printed set of blueprints for building a team, but he certainly seems to have an idea of […]

When asked what his thoughts were when he heard that Albert Pujols had signed with the Angels, Lance Berkman responded, “I thought I was gonna be playing first.” Berkman went on to say that Pujols’ departure surprised him, that a year ago he would’ve said there was no way Pujols would leave St. Louis before […]

Jason Motte doesn’t expect much to change for the St. Louis Cardinals, despite the turnover in the coaching ranks. “Doesn’t change what we do. It doesn’t change how I go out there and pitch. I’m not going out there cause Tony’s not in the dugout, I’m not going ‘aw man, I can’t go get these […]
