by Nick September 20, 2008

I can’t believe the Cards are still only 4.5 games out of the WC # 6pm tonight – the March to the Wild Card begins – I’m calling it right now # TGlaus doesn’t look any worse for the wear, does he? # Another reason why FeLo shouldn’t be playing LF – he only knows [...]

Save McClellan for next year

by Nick September 19, 2008

I think it’s time to start thinking about shutting Kyle McClellan down (if he’s not unofficially done anyway) for the season, albeit what little is left of it. Kyle had another rough outing on Tuesday night, surrendering three runs in one-third of an inning. Unfortunately, this type of appearance has become all too common in [...]

by Nick September 15, 2008

The Brewers were just swept by the Philadelphia Phillies, dropping them into a tie with the Phillies in the NL Wild Card race.  The Brewers have lost 11 of their last 14 games, allowing many teams to climb back into the playoff hunt.

Beat the Pirates

by Nick September 13, 2008

That’s really all the Cardinals had to do this season, with any sort of regularity, to be staring a playoff berth right in the eyes. Sure, 5-10 against the Brewers hasn’t done them any favors either (and 2-4 against the Royals, and 3-4 against the Giants). They’ve had their other opportunities, they’ve had many chances [...]

by Nick September 10, 2008

As a follow-up to our UCB project (well, he actually commissioned our lists) Derrick Goold of the St Louis Post-Dispatch has posted his Bird Land 7 over at STLToday.com. Naturally, Derrick chose many different players from the rest of us, and puts up a great read. Thanks to DG and the UCB crew for the [...]
