John Mozeliak doubles up

by Nick October 6, 2011

It’s been said more than once, by more than one person, Cardinals fan or not: The Colby Rasmus trade was an all-in move for the 2011 Cards. All of sports has adopted the strategic poker move as a euphemism for taking extreme measures or doing everything in one’s power to accomplish a goal. After last […]

The Penalty Box is Full

by Dennis October 5, 2011

 In my most recent post, I spoke out about the need for a Cardinal Nation Penalty Box for those “fans” who simply insist on giving up on the Cardinals before the very end.  I’m here to tell you right now that the penalty box is full, and you folks know who you are.  I saw […]

Three weeks in Cardinal baseball: Podcast appearances

by Nick October 3, 2011

I’m way behind in linking to the various podcasts and shows that have so graciously had me on to discuss Cardinals baseball (was that a humblebrag?), so I thought I’d provide you with a rare audio insight into the mindset of one Cardinal blogger over the course of three weeks: September 15 I did a […]

Cardinal Nation’s Penalty Box

by Dennis October 3, 2011

Yes, there needs to be one.  No, it’s not just for people who commit egregious party fouls (double dipping).  It’s also for any of the “Best Fans in Baseball” who gave up on the Cardinals way back in August….or July….or anytime at all this season.  It’s also good for any Cardinal fans who stopped watching […]

Fool’s Friday: Numbers Rarely Tell the Whole Truth

by Josh September 30, 2011

Didn’t see that finish coming either, huh? And after this summer, any further need to gamble, skydive, or even ride coasters is forever muted. The Cardinals are winners in my book no matter what happens in October, but a couple of playoff gems by Chris Carpenter would help keep the playoff beard from going all […]

We Are All Steve Bartman

by Dennis September 30, 2011

Each and every single one of us has done at least 1 thing in our lives that we’ve almost immediately regretted doing, and we’ve been mildly embarrassed at a minimum or brutally ashamed and guilt-ridden at a maximum.  Maybe we’ve offended someone by speaking too loudly at a dinner party about the host’s over-exuberant use […]

Talking Heads and the “Once in a Lifetime” 2011 Cardinals

by Nick September 29, 2011

Not not those talking heads.  These Talking Heads. “You may ask yourself, ‘Well, how did I get here?’” -David Byrne How DID we get here?  If someone had gone into hibernation at the end of April and woke up in early September, without the convenience of having a standings sheet in front of them, the […]

If you are just waking up on Thursday morning and this is the place you come first for your Cardinals news, first, I’m sorry.  Second, THE CARDINALS WON!  Third, SO DID THE PHILLIES! Yes, our beloved Redbirds are on to the 2011 tournament, and without having to play that pesky 163rd game, even! Chris Carpenter […]

If Fredi Gonzalez managed the Cardinals, and Tony La Russa the Braves…

by Nick September 28, 2011

As we all prepare for tonight’s Cards versus Astros and Phillies versus Braves games that may determine the final playoff spot in the National League, I thought it appropriate to bring a little levity to a high-leverage situation. It just so happens that Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez has some managerial tendencies that tweak that teams […]
