Looking for Lead-Off Love (Part 2)

by Josh June 20, 2010

An expression is worth what you say? I took this pic with my wife last year during the STL/KC game, and I imagine it is the same look Colby Rasmus gave TLR when the lead-off question came up. The truth hurts, and the Cardinals have only one true option to man the most important spot […]

Looking for Lead-Off Love (Part 1)

by Josh June 18, 2010

Motivated by an incredible UCB Radio outing, the biggest question to date isn’t where Holliday should be batting or even who the fifth starter will be come August. The Cardinals are faced with an even more daunting task, and I’m looking at our loyal three readers for answers. St. Louis can’t seem to score runs […]

Cards sign Randy Winn, option Jon Jay

by Nick June 5, 2010

Color me puzzled. Allen Craig was hitting .051 and doesn’t really have a position.  I get it.  Not necessarily for Aaron Miles, but that’s not terribly shocking on a Tony La Russa run ballclub. Tyler Greene and Joe Mather have struggled at the plate, it makes sense that their status on the club might be […]

by fbhotstove May 27, 2010

[Ed. note – With apologies to Mark, this has been sitting in the hopper for a little while unnoticed by yours truly, so understand that the items within were current when he wrote them.] Ryan Ludwick has hit second in 29 of the Cardinals 36 games and appeared in all 36 of those games. When […]

Chris Carpenter doesn’t pitch well angry

by Nick May 14, 2010

For the sake of his pitching success, Chris Carpenter needs to chill out… To wit- 09.18.2005 – 4 innings pitched, 4 earned runs 10.07.2009 – 5 innings pitched, 4 earned runs 04.21.2010 – 7 innings pitched, 3 earned runs 05.13.2010 – 8 innings pitched, 4 earned runs Carp is a fierce competitor, no doubt, but […]

Link: Cardinals’ Numbering Process

by Nick May 11, 2010

There is still a certain amount of consternation amongst Cardinal fans regarding Jon Jay’s uniform number and whether or not a player of his stature, or ANY player for that matter, should be wearing the number made beloved by former Cards center fielder Jim Edmonds. B.J. Rains at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat put together a […]

Fantasy: Cardinal Infielders Over/Under

by fbhotstove May 10, 2010

Looking at current Yahoo rankings, I decided to look at whether or not Cardinal hitters would be over or under this ranking at season’s end. This does not include today’s game. Player: Yadier Molina Current Rank: 191 Outlook: Molina has appeared in 28 of 31 games and started in 27 of those games. He is […]
