The Daily Pujols – 11.02.2011

by Nick November 1, 2011

On the morning of January 19th, I started collecting links – as many as I can find with minimal effort – that discuss the Albert Pujols contract discussions. Why? Who knows, yet here they are. Oh, and to serve you all, our three loyal readers! The Daily Pujols certainly won’t be a comprehensive list, but between local, […]

2011 Gold Glove Award Predictions

by Dennis November 1, 2011

If you love baseball’s “silly season” during which baseball players routinely have the opportunity to injure themselves patting themselves and each other on the back, then the inaugural “Rawlings Gold Glove Awards Show” is just the thing for you.  That’s right.  ESPN has set aside a whole hour dedicated to an announcement that really shouldn’t […]

The Daily Pujols – 11.01.2011

by Nick November 1, 2011

WE’RE BACK At the request of Albert Pujols, The Daily Pujols was suspended during the season – no contract talks. But now we’re back with a vengeance. Not familiar? On the morning of January 19th, I started collecting links – as many as I can find with minimal effort – that discuss the Albert Pujols contract discussions. […]

Ciao, Tony LaRussa

by Dennis October 31, 2011

After 16 years, 1408 regular season victories, and 2 World Series titles with the Cardinals, Tony LaRussa has decided to take his talents to somewhere other than the St. Louis dugout.  Talk about going out in style, too.  The Cardinals rallied from 10 1/2 games back in late August to get into the playoffs on […]

Your St. Louis Cardinals: 2011 World Series Champions

by Nick October 29, 2011

World Series Game Seven’s are best watched from the edge of a seat. I learned that last night as the Cardinals slowly, systematically – thankfully – secured their eleventh World Championship in franchise history. What a game. What a series. What a season. The Texas Rangers were the perfect, formidable foe for this season’s Fall […]

Preparing for a World Series Game 7 no one saw coming

by Nick October 28, 2011

“What are you doing here?” Tony La Russa to Lance Lynn, Game 5 It’s been a punch line since Monday night, but viewed in a different light, that line – that question – is really a microcosm of how the Cardinals’ 2011 season has turned out, no? They weren’t supposed to be here. Ten-and-a-half games […]

The way most of us watched Game 6…

by Nick October 28, 2011

[ED Note: I received an e-mail this morning containing an unsolicited story of one Cardinal fan’s recollection of how he watched the Cardinals defeat the Rangers in Game 6 of the World Series.  PH8 Reader Matt led off the e-mail with this: “I had to sit down and type out my thoughts about last night.

Fool’s Friday: Where is the St. Louis Love?

by Josh October 28, 2011

Too many things are still floating through my head after last night’s magic and thankfully, I have that little distraction called work to get me right up to Game 7. No matter how many times this story started writing itself during the back and forth of possibly the greatest World Series finish, a Hollywood ending […]

This Weather IS for The Birds

by Dennis October 27, 2011

Do you see what I did there?  Thought so.  Not only was the weather in St. Louis a bit nasty for a while yesterday, but it also may have given the Cardinals a bit of an assist (or two).  The degree to which the Cardinals can take advantage of that fortuitous splash of rain will […]
