Cards Game 86 – Loss at Brewers

by Nick July 8, 2009

Trying to overcome nine walks from your pitching staff in one game is pretty difficult, yet there the Cardinals were, with the bases loaded and Yadier Molina at the plate. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be. As Brewers beat-man Tom Haudricourt Twittered during the game: Brewers-Cards, 4-4 in the 8th. If Brewers win, they pull […]

Happy Fourth of July

by Nick July 4, 2009

I thought it appropriate to break out this video. Fireworks, a typical symbol of the Fourth. Just so happens that these fireworks were going off in October… here’s hoping there are more to come. Happy Fourth of July.

Cards’ Game 80 – Win vs Giants

by Nick July 1, 2009

Wa-hey!  That’s a winner! After another frustrating night on offense from the Cardinals (don’t know about you, but I find it virtually impossible to tell anymore if the Cardinal lineup is that bad, or if we are just seeing great pitching each night – let’s call it both), the Cards finally were able to make […]

Joe Thurston gives away outs

by Nick June 30, 2009

Joe Thurston has cost the Cardinals several outs on the bases (and thus himself as a baserunner and potential run, obviously) this season.  And when I say several, I mean a glaring amount, in comparison. This subject was first broached on Twitter by Matthew Leach, the answer to which I was quickly able to find […]

The PTBNL in the Mark DeRosa trade (not that one)

by Nick June 29, 2009

More on the DeRosa trade… Speculation is already running rampant on the name of the remaining player the Cardinals will send to the Cleveland Indians by September 1st to complete the Mark DeRosa trade. We’ll know the answer to that question soon enough. But what about the other potential player to be named later in […]

Cards trade for IF-OF Mark DeRosa

by Nick June 29, 2009

Saturday brought not only a much needed win for the St. Louis Cardinals, but also another bat for their sometimes slumping offense. Many Cardinal fans had been clamoring for weeks for Cards GM John Mozeliak to acquire the versatile Mark DeRosa from the Cleveland Indians, and the deal was made late Saturday night for reliever […]

Cards’ Game 74 (06.25) – Loss at Mets

by Nick June 26, 2009

Another day in New York, more of the same. What is there to be said about this game?  The Cardinals apparently can’t handle the motivation (they can stick the pressure) of facing a former Cy Young winner. Last time it was Cliff Lee doing damage versus the Cardinal lineup, and today, save for a couple […]

Cards’ Game 73 (06.24) – Loss at Mets

by Nick June 24, 2009

I’m trying to get myself into a regular habit of writing again, so I decided yesterday (with credit due to a lot of other blogs that do this and inspired me a bit) to start writing quick game recaps – just a few things from each day’s post-game thoughts. Unfortunately, I picked a bad day […]
