Previewing the Cardinals vs Pirates

by Dennis July 22, 2011

There are plenty of blog, sports sites, radio shows, and tv programs that will dedicate time and space to previews of the Cardinals/Pirates series.  Some will give you fancy charts, high definition video clips, expert analysis, and a multitude of reasons why each team will win.  Others will hedge their bets and provide mind-numbingly neutral-sounding rationale backed […]

Handicapping the NL Central Race

by Dennis July 20, 2011

There is no shortage of talking heads asking the same question right now – “How are the Pirates leading the NL Central?”  The answers given are varied yet predictable. The Pirates have had really, really good pitching, and pitching wins.  Yes, the Pirates have allowed a division low 357 runs, but they have only scored […]

Untruths, Misrumors, Disprognostications – Take 2

by Dennis July 18, 2011

The original “Untruths, Misrumors, Disprognostications” appeared on this blog back in March, and it was a lighthearted attempt to debunk some silly things that were being circulated by various media outlets and linked to the Cardinals.  Since there is no lack of silly rumors and ideas floating around the interwebs, UMD (not to be confused with OMD for […]

WAR Graph Wednesday: Your 2011 Cardinal All-Stars

by Nick July 13, 2011

Lance Berkman.  Matt Holliday.  Yadier Molina. Two of these things are much more alike than the other.  But Yadi’s pretty good too. Berkman and Holliday follow a very similar trajectory, with Lance having a one-year head-start on Matt in age that they reached the bigs. Berkman had a big year, his biggest actually, in his […]

Beware the Retaliatory Trade

by Dennis July 13, 2011

The Brewers went out and traded for Francisco Rodriguez (K-Rod) from the Mets.  That means that the Cardinals need to respond with a trade of their own, right?  Wrong.  The team’s needs haven’t changed just because one of their main competitors for the division title made a move.  Instead, the management team will see the […]

2011 Home Run Derby – Matt Holliday hits home runs, Yadier Molina pitches

by Nick July 12, 2011

Robinson Cano hit a metric butt-ton of bombs (32) on Monday night at Chase Field.  And he could’ve hit more, hitting the winning home run with a handful of outs in pocket. Matt Holliday hit, well, decidedly less (7) off of his selected pitcher, Yadier Molina.  (Wait, what?  Yes, Tony La Russa must have been […]
