Come spring of 2011, several of us Cardinals fans may be asking that very same question. Rather than wait for knowledgeable baseball oracles to purvey insider information to us in the form of #intrigue and #development, let’s do some pondering of our own. I’ll begin with a list of free agent second basemen that I […]

Introduction (aka a bunch of words at the top): An introduction is most certainly in order. I’m Dennis, but you may know me on Twitter as gr33nazn – owner of #ManFridge. I recently authored a post on my personal blog about why I’m not a baseball blogger, so naturally I’m now attempting to be a baseball […]

Even my wife has decided that trying to watch the rest of this month’s games are difficult at best. The Cardinals were given every opportunity to make the Central a race as the Reds were floundering to open September. Now the best thing to hope for is a second place finish…really?

Matthew Leach has news of Fernando Salas being recalled from Memphis – again – at his blog. Our loyal readers (all three of you) will recall that earlier this month, we started tracking Salas’ frequent flyer miles. Well, the last two trips back and forth from St. Louis are helping Fernando to inch closer to […]

Sick of reading about how great Jaime Garcia‘s start yesterday was? Good, me neither, so here’s some more… Derrick Goold and Brian Walton have already covered how Garcia’s start ranked in efficiency – Bird Land comparing fewest number of pitches for a 2010 MLB shutout, and The Cardinal Nation Blog comparing to other past Cardinal […]

…tonight. And why fiddle around with putting him in a position where he can hit into double plays in obscurity? Rather, the manager has inserted one Pedro Feliz into the fifth spot in the batting order. The spot immediately behind Matt Holliday. Two spots behind Albert Pujols. You know, bait for intentionally walking the two […]
