The 2008 off-season

by Nick October 2, 2008

Well, the Cardinals of course had to go and win the last six games of 2008.  They finally put together a sweep of a team that they should’ve been putting away all season long.  Of course, it was too little too late, and the Redbirds are making tee times. All that aside, that doesn’t mean [...]

Kyle Lohse gets paid

by Nick October 1, 2008

Ok, save the “duh” comments.  I know I’m behind the news here. Fact is, my tardiness was somewhat intentional.  I’ve set myself down at the keyboard several times since Sunday night/Monday afternoon, all set to unleash my true thoughts on the Kyle Lohse signing, only to think better of it and continue to read other [...]

My year-end thanks to Baseball Reference

by Nick September 30, 2008

For those of you who have kept up with the site since I started yelling at you in early May, you know I have linked almost exclusively with Baseball Reference (www.baseball-reference.com) as my source for both major and minor league statistics. I wanted to put this up as my thanks to BR for their continued [...]

Look at it this way…

by Nick September 28, 2008

At least they’re not the Mets. …or the Rams. …or Scott Linehan. …or Lane Kiffin. Er, you get the point. Congrats Redbirds, for finishing this season on a high note.  A couple of breaks and a few less injuries and we’d still be looking forward to home-team baseball.

This week’s Redbird Tweets – 2008-09-27

by Nick September 27, 2008

Cards now playing the spoiler role! # Anyone know how many runners the Cards have had thrown out at home this year? # D’Backs foiled again! # Ha! Did you see McLaughlin hit that guy in the head with a bag of peanuts? Get off your phone pal! # That’s a winner! (For the Dodgers [...]

Braden Looper: To sign or not to sign?

by Nick September 26, 2008

That is a question on many a Cards fan’s tongue as the season winds to a close. As Braden Looper prepares to take the mound tonight, in the Cardinals’ final series of this wildly entertaining (and similarly frustrating) season, it could be his final appearance wearing the Birds-on-the-Bat. It can be argued that Looper’s conversion [...]

Vote Albert for MVP

by Nick September 25, 2008

Ok, so I don’t have any great way for you to influence that decision. What I do have, is a link to a post over at Redbird Review, where John dug up a great article on Page 2 at ESPN.com about the typical responses to Albert Pujols’ chances to win the NL MVP. Cruise over [...]

Can the Cubs count on Carlos Zambrano?

by Nick September 25, 2008

I try my best to stick with strictly Cards talk here – and try to hold my general contempt for the Cubs as the only topic to a minimum…but this was just too good to pass up. In the interest of full disclosure, I should tell you that I caught this episode of events while [...]

Tell me again, why all the Kennedy venom?

by Nick September 25, 2008

Put aside for a minute the fact that he wants to be traded (or for that matter, thinks he’s a tradeable commodity at this point). Adam Kennedy had another ho-hum two-for-four last night with one run batted in.  The effort raised his season batting average to .271. Sure, he’s not hitting for power, as his [...]

Cards stay alive for one more game

by Nick September 22, 2008

As if watching the late-August and early-September swoon of the Cardinals hasn’t been bad enough, it appears no one else wants to take the NL Wild Card spot in the playoffs.  The Mets lost to the Cubs tonight, allowing the Cardinals to mathematically remain “in the race” regardless of their outcome versus Arizona tonight (and [...]
