Hudson Is A Good Fit For Second Base

by Andrew October 18, 2010

As we enter the offseason, the Cardinals have multiple positions where they can attempt to fix their offensive woes. Either of the corner outfield positions (with Holliday willing and able to play right), shortstop, or second base. Unless St. Louis throws Shelby Miller or Colby Rasmus on the table of trade talks, which I don’t […]

I’ll Take Ginger Ale Over Champagne Any Day

by Dennis October 18, 2010

I’ve read several columns lauding the Rangers for their classy celebration of their series clinching victory over the Tampa Rays.  The celebration included a special shower for the team’s star outfielder and recovering substance addict, Josh Hamilton, that included Canada Dry ginger ale substituted for the usual champagne.  The champagne was instead kept on ice while the […]

The 800 lb Gorilla in the Middle of Busch

by Dennis October 12, 2010

Trust me, there will be many, many blogs, articles, and sports segments dedicated solely to the pending free agency of one Jose Alberto Pujols.  Rather than wait for the World Series to end to begin speculating, I want to begin the conversation right now.  It’s not that the playoffs aren’t worth watching, it’s just that […]

Calling Out The BBWAA

by Dennis October 6, 2010

Yeah, that’s right.  I’m calling out the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) – the group that votes on the NL and AL MVP awards.  I’m challenging its voters to explain how they fill out their ballots.  Dare to consider advanced statistics, defense, intangibles, and team strength in proper context.  Go ahead.  Do it!  I double dog dare […]

When A Goodbye Really Is A Goodbye

by Dennis October 4, 2010

I’ve never warmly embraced the end of MLB’s regular season, even when the Cardinals were headed to the playoffs.  There’s just something about the end of the regular season that signals a change in the air.  It’s the unofficial beginning of “true” fall for those of us who live in denial of what the modern Gregorian calendar indicates every […]

I’m A Lousy GM, But I’m Good At Adding Payroll

by Dennis September 30, 2010

In this follow-up to “Play GM For A Day”, you get to see just how poorly I play the aforementioned game.  While I lack both business acumen and talent evaluation ability, it’s probably my inability to emotionally detach that ultimately will derail my career as a GM.  Honestly, the members of Cardinal Nation may have a […]

Play GM For A Day

by Dennis September 27, 2010

Okay, let’s play GM for a day.  Why not pretend to spend someone else’s money and run our favorite baseball team this off-season?  Since many of us question every move the team makes (or doesn’t make), let’s give it a shot.  This post contains some pertinent information which might be useful for making the tough business decisions the GM makes.   There is also some […]

Why I’m Not A Baseball Blogger

by Dennis September 24, 2010

Introduction (aka a bunch of words at the top): An introduction is most certainly in order.  I’m Dennis, but you may know me on Twitter as gr33nazn – owner of #ManFridge.  I recently authored a post on my personal blog about why I’m not a baseball blogger, so naturally I’m now attempting to be a baseball […]

Where to go from Here

by Josh September 23, 2010

Even my wife has decided that trying to watch the rest of this month’s games are difficult at best. The Cardinals were given every opportunity to make the Central a race as the Reds were floundering to open September. Now the best thing to hope for is a second place finish…really? St. Louis can celebrate […]
