Happy Father’s Day to all of you dads. I spent the mid-afternoon of my Father’s Day at the local swimming hole with the young boy PH8 and Wife PH8 – who, bless her heart, advised me to start the Cards game from the beginning once we returned home and nap-time had ensued. *sigh* Little did […]

That’s right. The magic number for the Cardinals to eliminate the Chicago Cubs from the NL Central division title is 135. That would still leave the Cubs with a shot at the wild card, but it really is never too early to start taking shots at how bad the Cubs are. Why? Why not? Also, […]

Also, keep your hands and feet inside the ride at all times until the bandwagon comes to a complete stop. Make sure you seats and tray tables are in the fully upright and locked positions. In the unlikely event of a water landing, Logan Morrison‘s ego may be used as a flotation device. It may […]

Around this same time last year as part of the annual UCB project to make predictions for all 6 divisions, I not-so-boldly picked the top three as the Brewers, Cardinals, and the Reds (see here for proof). Based on the individual rosters, it wasn’t difficult to put those three in order. It was actually the […]

It’s not personal. It’s business. The St. Louis Cardinals do not need Roy Oswalt right now. They may need him sometime down the road, but they really don’t need him right at this very moment. Some people would have you believe otherwise, but it’s always easier when spending other people’s money. Consider the pitchers that […]

No, it isn’t THAT kind of fantasy. It’s “fantasy baseball”, and it might be the only time that most Cardinal fans worry about a player’s “bulging…….disc” or a player “experiencing stiffness” during spring training. Sure, a lot of fans are concerned about Allen Craig‘s post-surgical rehab work, but only a fantasy baseball nut would […]
Cardinals fans, even those on the realistic side, can’t help but hope – or perhaps even expect – that former first-round pick Shelby Miller will graduate to the majors by next April and become the next great St. Louis pitcher. Miller, who made his 2012 Spring Training debut Wednesday, is sculpted like the ideal right-handed […]

Up until last Sept. 28, when the Cardinals won in Houston and the Braves lost in Atlanta and the National League wildcard spot completed its logic-defying defection to St. Louis, May 1, 2011, would have been as good a day as any with which to sum up the Redbirds’ season. It was a day that […]

Reading a couple of posts over at STLCardinalBaseball this weekend led me into a bit of a debate with Ray over whether the Cardinals routinely pay market value for their players or not. Spurred on by the ongoing discussions about what market value may look like for one Yadier Molina, Ray took a look at […]
