Adam Wainwright
Let’s just dispense with the pleasantries and list them all here, shall we? This way, Cards fans have a repository to come back to game after game, without having to continue to come up with new reasons for a lost season. In no particular order: Moths Ryan Franklin Takashi Saito Rob Drake Tony Rasmus Dan […]

If you take that “go big or go home” mentality, then this is just about as big as it gets right now. No, I’m not actually suggesting an outright trade of Chris Carpenter for Cole Hamels, but I am suggesting that the Cardinals could basically replace Chris Carpenter with Cole Hamels. The problem is that […]
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. […]
Number 2. Numero dos. Deux. The 2 spot. Second in command. The backup to the lead man. Best supporting actor. That was what Chris Carpenter was supposed to be this season. Instead, he’s been pushed to the forefront, and he’s suddenly perceived as being the “ace” once again to many fans. There’s just one problem. […]
As the Reds prepare to host the Cardinals this weekend, I thought it might be necessary to help the host team out with a few friendly suggestions about how to stay hospitable and maintain the highest level of decorum they can muster. Don’t do “The Wave”. It’s pathetic in any stadium, and it just looks […]

This is about the Albert Pujols contract extension, but yet in a way it is. The decision to avoid negotiations during the season handcuffs the team, and it certainly works against the best interests of the Cardinals. Disagree? The Cardinals are leading a very competitive (if highly suspect) NL Central by 1 game at this point. What […]
Yep, my soapbox is bigger than yours is, because it has to be sturdy. I like to eat 8 lb burritos with a spork while I’m standing on my soapbox, so prepare yourselves. It’s about to get ugly up in here. WARNING: A rant is about to take place. I’m sick and tired of people […]

…about the 2010 Cardinals? “I’d play against these guys on one leg,” Phillips insisted before the game. “We have to beat these guys. All they do is b***h and moan about everything — all of them. They’re little b***hes — all of them. “I really hate the Cardinals. Compared to the Cardinals, I love the […]

The rumors of Albert Pujols‘ demise have been greatly exaggerated (already). He may have another 700 plate appearances to compensate for his lousy opening day performance, and he does have a history of putting up decent numbers by season’s end. Despite the 0-everything from AP, the Cardinals still had the lead in the 9th with […]

It’s time that the little Napoleonic portion of my brain comes out to play a bit. Why? I’ve heard enough nonsense from the talking heads on television. If there is going to be absolute nonsense, then it might as well come from me, and it might as well be at least somewhat amusing. UNTRUTHS: The […]
