Evidence that many members of Cardinal Nation have already jumped the proverbial shark abounds, and the perception seems greatly deviated from the reality. The Cardinals remain a division leading team, yet they have recently played like a farm club. On paper, they still look like a potential playoff team. On the field, they appear to […]

MARP = Matt Carpenter, because nicknames like “Mini Carp” and “Lil’ Carp” simply fail to do Matt justice. Also, the very names themselves tend to diminish the less-established of the two players named Carpenter on the Cardinals. Considering how little attention he has received to this point outside of Cardinal Nation, I doubt many people […]

Have an opinion about a particular player, coach, manager, team, or franchise you wish to express? Try tossing stones 140 characters at a time on Twitter, and then wait for every keyboard jockey with a view contrary to yours to find you. Either nature or some universal law entitles everyone to their own opinion, and […]

Indeed, the limitations of the 25 man roster impose certain constraints on the Cardinals that some teams do not have. The Cardinals legitimately have greater than 25 players who have to varying degrees earned spots on the roster and potentially deserve some playing time. For many teams, that “problem” represents a best-case scenario. For […]

Admit it. The “Baby Birds” are no longer babies, if they ever really even were at all. Maybe these guys seem new like a breath of fresh air, but most of them have been around more than a year or two. Some of them have been in the organization for several years. Consider some of […]

That’s the one that he threw 65 times last night for 38 strikes which translates to about a 58.46% strike rate. Considering the fact that Lynn only threw 91 pitches, you might wonder why the Diamondbacks weren’t looking for […]

That’s right. The magic number for the Cardinals to eliminate the Chicago Cubs from the NL Central division title is 135. That would still leave the Cubs with a shot at the wild card, but it really is never too early to start taking shots at how bad the Cubs are. Why? Why not? Also, […]

Also, keep your hands and feet inside the ride at all times until the bandwagon comes to a complete stop. Make sure you seats and tray tables are in the fully upright and locked positions. In the unlikely event of a water landing, Logan Morrison‘s ego may be used as a flotation device. It may […]

Every once in a while the intertubez become so abuzz with ridiculous disinformation that I take it upon myself to wipe clean the slate of human ignorance. I then replace the ignorance with absolutely nothing but my own opinion via pontification of the blogging sort. It’s a sordid approach, but it works. I will start […]

I love it when post titles double as a band name. And vice versa. As long ago as Spring Training 2010, Mitchell Boggs was searching for a consistent, repetitive delivery that would bring him success in his newfound role as a relief pitcher. From that post at Matthew Leach’s blog, Dave Duncan had this to […]
