If you have to ask, you probably can’t afford it. You’ve probably all heard this line at one time or another. It’s usually said in jest, but there are indeed times when it is completely appropriate and sadly true. Consider the case of the Pagani Zonda or the Bugatti Veyron. What are those? If you […]

This post is most certainly about Werth versus Holliday, but there is a bit of business to tend to first. Based on what little I’ve read about Cliff Lee‘s agent, Darek Braunecker, I suspect that he’s about as useful as a box of rocks. That’s not to say that he isn’t a good agent. He could be the greatest agent […]

I usually visit the #stlcards tweets a few times a week to see what exactly the rest of the Cardinal nation tweeps have on their minds, and I frequently find someone amusing to follow in the process. If you are interested, please feel free to check out the list of people I follow. Occasionally, a topic […]

I can’t actually prove that former MLB commissioner Fay Vincent was actually abducted by aliens, but that’s the only explanation I have for his Wall Street Journal op-ed piece. If you haven’t read it, I’ll save you the 2 minutes by giving you a watered-down version in which I make fun of Fay’s idea. Somewhere […]

I don’t claim to know any more or less about baseball, cars, or string theory (okay, well maybe string theory) than anybody else. However, I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express several times, so I think that qualifies me to make some wild guesses about what is going to happen over the next few […]

Within hours of the Cardinals signing Jake Westbrook to a 2 year contract with a mutual option for a 3rd year, much has already been said and written about the deal itself. If you spend enough time searching the blogosphere, you’ll find that the reactions cover the spectrum, and it’s very much a “Goldie […]

A little later than scheduled, I finally posed my question to the United Cardinal Bloggers for the Fall Roundtable discussions: It would appear as if the Tony La Russa Era is soon coming to a close, but in MLB terms he’s had a unusually long run managing in St. Louis. As we all know, that […]

The Gold Glove which is technically the “Rawlings Gold Glove Award” is voted on by the managers and coaches of each league. Voters are not permitted to vote for players from their own team in an effort to eliminate bias. That said, it’s probably fair to say that most voters don’t take the time to […]

I have had a hard enough time keeping up with with the Cardinals in late 2010 and into the off-season much less trying to watch much “other” baseball. Thankfully, the tools at the disposal of an otherwise occupied blogger (FanGraphs, Baseball-Reference, Twitter) are more than enough to formulate the PH8 ballot for the BBA National […]

Since it seems that many of us are still looking for ways to pass the time until spring training, I thought that some really easy Cardinals trivia might be in order. QUESTIONS Which player was 4th on the team in home runs behind Pujols, Holliday, and Rasmus? Which pitcher had the highest batting average among all […]
