The St. Louis Cardinals agreed to terms with free agent utility player Felipe Lopez on a one-year, $2 million deal, as first reported by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
This will be Lopez’s second stint with the Cardinals, after being acquired from the Washington Nationals in 2008 via trade. Since Lopez left Washington he has posted a [...]

Our initial goal was to have this series done by say…Turkey Day or so but in my mind President’s Day makes a lot more sense. And here’s why — the Cardinals had no clue how the last three months were going to play out and the results to me were still going to be skewed [...]

Disappointment comes in many forms, especially when you are a true fan. A little bit of me dies inside every time St. Louis signs a former Cub, but that is just silly, right? The bigger trouble is knowing that former Cards will play in other uniforms, but does it have to be the Royals and [...]

Entertain this post in the hypothetical, if you will. Its July 12th, 2010, the All-Star Break, and all is terribly wrong in the world of Cardinal Nation. Forget the relatively frigid weather of the winter and indulge yourself in a warm summer day. Don’t get too comfortable though. After all, it’s not the Winter-Warmup that [...]

Picked up this tidbit from the blog Taiwan Baseball:

There are currently six players [...]

Many Cardinal fans have experienced increased teeth-gnashing since yesterday’s news that Mark DeRosa is signing with the San Francisco Giants on a seemingly reasonable contract, at two years, $12 million.
Is all of this consternation really necessary?
I dug into the Bag of Internet Baseball Tricks™ today and put to bed what little concern still existed personally.

While it may not look like it at first, according to Scott Boras, the competition for landing Matt Holliday in free agency appears to be a very tight race between two teams…
In case you can’t read the ridiculously small legend at right, I’ll give you the goods here:
I’ve got the Cards in red.
The Yankees are [...]

Ok, fine. I give.
I’ve been through the splits.
I have convinced myself that John Smoltz doesn’t have the bullets left to be a starting pitcher.
I even made a pros and cons list!
Word has been filtering through Twitter via Joe Strauss:
Barring waiver claim, Smoltz to Cardinals Wednesday: STL Post-Dispatch #stlcards
(Strauss also filed the following story on STLToday.com.)

Cardinal fans, pray for good results from the MRI done on Kyle Lohse’s right knee yesterday. What looked like an innocent tweak of the ankle and a stubborn starter trying to finish five and get the win quickly turned into another waiting and wishing game for Cardinal fans.
Where do they go if Lohse winds up [...]

Once again the United Cardinal Bloggers undertake a Roundtable project, a way to pass the time during Spring Training while waiting for Opening Day.
We had the honor of leading off this time around, so here goes:
In light of the way the free agent market has progressed, do you think the Cards jumped the gun [...]
