Some Numbers Don’t Lie

by Dennis July 11, 2011

46 home games with a total attendance of 1,698,759.  If you divide B by A, carry one on the small toe of the left foot to the middle toe of the right foot……that’s about 36,929 per game.  At that pace, the Cardinals should be right at the 3 million attendance mark by the end of the season.  […]

Devil’s Advocate – Rasmus vs Jay

by Dennis July 8, 2011

Before the haters out there get too excited, this isn’t really about pitting the two against one another.  Instead, the point of this post is to try to explain why Jon Jay has such a positive perception among fans while Colby Rasmus produces more of a mixed reaction.  When fans of Jon Jay laud his […]

No Angry Birds?

by Dennis July 5, 2011

Cardinals vs Reds.  Chris Carpenter vs Johnny Cueto.  The July 4th game had all the media hype of a WWE event.  What did fans see?  A pitcher’s duel that ended 1-0.  Nobody got accidentally brushed back a little harder than usual.  Nobody was drilled in the ribs.  Heck, the only pitch close to the batter’s box […]

When the St. Louis Cardinals Public Relations team talks, we listen.  When they send out a simple request to help support Stan Musial, we break out the kevlar jerseys to take to the baseball fields in his honor.  Fortunately, all the team asked the Cardinal blogger community to do was help get out the most […]

Happy Trails, Chinzilla!

by Dennis June 29, 2011

While it may be tempting for some fans to bid Ryan Franklin a not-so-fond farewell, I think it better to look at his time with the Cardinals as a whole.  After all, the good came with the bad, and the collective sum is much more impressive than the most recent part.  With that in mind, […]

Selig Abhors Puppies (and the Dodgers too)

by Dennis June 29, 2011

Let’s call a spade a spade for just once and admit that Bud Selig is after the Dodgers.  Sure, he’s going after the team under the guise that an ownership transfer is in the best interest of baseball.  That one is right up there with oceanfront property in Arizona and a bridge I’d like to […]

Pythagoras and the mid-June Cardinals

by Nick June 27, 2011

Bad news, Cards fans.  Maybe you already know this, maybe you don’t. Albert Pujols being on the disabled list is not the only cause of the Cards’ recent slide.  The lineup looks really strange with him out and Matt Holliday hitting third, followed by whatever combination Tony La Russa scabs together that day.  But given […]
