Darn the limitations of the 25 man roster. If ever there was a year the Cardinals could use a 30 man roster, it’s 2011. It’s not that the team would be all that much better (it probably would), it’s just that it would probably be a bit more fun to watch. Take Matt Carpenter for […]

On the morning of January 19th, I started collecting links – as many as I can find with minimal effort – that discuss the Albert Pujols contract discussions. Why? Who knows, yet here they are. Oh, and to serve you all, our three loyal readers! The Daily Pujols certainly won’t be a comprehensive list, but between […]

The Cardinals looked great in a 10-4 dismantling of the Twins, and they didn’t even bring out the “big guns”, Holliday and Pujols. Skip Schumaker is hitting .385, Matt Carpenter is hitting .375, Daniel Descalso .333, Colby Rasmus .381, Jon Jay .375, Allen Craig .364, Mark Hamilton .348, Yadier Molina .357, and David Freese is […]

It’s one thing to look at the 2011 Cardinals and think about tweaking one thing here or making an adjustment there. Rebuilding is an altogether different approach, but few people really want to think about the “R” word right now. What about looking at the team by deconstructing it first? It’s like taking apart your […]

By my rough estimate, the 6 teams in the NL Central are going to start the 2011 season with a combined $544M committed to team payrolls. Yikes. Check out the breakdown: Cubs ~ $133M Cardinals ~ $109M Astros ~ $91M Brewers ~ $84M Reds ~ $76M Pirates ~ $51M If you split teams 1-3 and 4-6 […]

I jokingly speculated back in December about what it would take to pry Chris Carpenter loose from the Cardinals. HINT: A lot. I take it all back (or at least wish I could). “But there’s many a slip twixt the cup and the lip.” ~William H. Bonny (Young Guns) Translated into baseball talk, that means […]

Before the Cardinals take the field for opening day, I thought I’d just give my suggestions on some walkup music options for some of the players. The “walkup music” is the music that you hear as players are introduced for each at-bat, so some people know it as the “at-bat” music. The music is usually […]

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard the news about Adam Wainwright. You’ve probably also heard that Adam’s contract includes a few interesting tidbits that weren’t really talked about a lot until recently. His 2012 and 2013 options are guaranteed with a top 5 finish in either the 2010 or 2011 Cy […]

Review of “Pujols: More Than The Game” Pujols: More Than The Game practically jumps out and grabs your attention with the cover alone. The close-up of Albert wonderfully captures the combination of focus, intensity, and quiet confidence that we’ve come to expect in the man. The cover is also set off perfectly by […]
