Same song, different verse, eh Walt? MVP-caliber first baseman with bright future? Check. Injury prone third baseman? Check. Potentially talented pitching staff led by innings eater who is signed through the next several seasons? Check. Talented young nucleus mixed with veteran leadership and experienced bullpen help? Check. Sound familiar? We’re either talking about the current […]

I’m sorry. I know you’re ready to move on, and so am I. But first, I wanted to address Dennis’ post from Friday – The Fall Guy. I started to gather my thoughts for a well-written response as a comment to that post, but it quickly became clear it was going to be too long-winded […]

Yes, I’m really that bored, and I’m suffering withdrawals from Cardinals baseball. No, it’s just not enough to watch the playoffs. As the saying goes, I don’t have a horse in this race. I’m also not a Yankee hater, because I wouldn’t have an issue with the Cardinals behaving exactly the same way the Yankees do […]

Trust me, there will be many, many blogs, articles, and sports segments dedicated solely to the pending free agency of one Jose Alberto Pujols. Rather than wait for the World Series to end to begin speculating, I want to begin the conversation right now. It’s not that the playoffs aren’t worth watching, it’s just that […]
