One Last Desperate Plea

by on March 16, 2011 · 6 comments

This is one last desperate plea from Statler, Waldorf, and myself.  Kyle McClellan joined the two Muppets in the back of the theater, but he doesn’t want to speak on his on behalf at this point.  That’s fine.  I’m bringing the heat and blathering enough for all 4 of us.  We’ve got one simple message. Leave […]

Blame It On The Rain

by on March 11, 2011 · 2 comments

Okay, so I’ve given you plenty of ideas on how to keep busy until spring training without getting arrested (no, it didn’t cover all the way until the regular season).  I’ve also provided some etiquette reminders just so everybody remembers how to behave themselves when baseball gets back into a park near you.  Finally, I provided […]

On the morning of January 19th, I started collecting links – as many as I can find with minimal effort – that discuss the Albert Pujols contract discussions. Why? Who knows, yet here they are. Oh, and to serve you all, our three loyal readers! The Daily Pujols certainly won’t be a comprehensive list, but between […]

Build it Backwards

by on March 3, 2011 · 2 comments

It’s one thing to look at the 2011 Cardinals and think about tweaking one thing here or making an adjustment there.  Rebuilding is an altogether different approach, but few people really want to think about the “R” word right now.  What about looking at the team by deconstructing it first?  It’s like taking apart your […]

I jokingly speculated back in December about what it would take to pry Chris Carpenter loose from the Cardinals.  HINT: A lot.  I take it all back (or at least wish I could).  “But there’s many a slip twixt the cup and the lip.” ~William H. Bonny (Young Guns) Translated into baseball talk, that means […]

Not The News – Vol. I

by on February 26, 2011 · 4 comments

SHOE ATTACKS MAN IN MOUTH.  SHOE WINS 5-0 IN STUNNING ROUT!  Man goes 0-5 with 4 strikeouts against shoe. I love a good mea culpa as much as the next guy, and I’d really like to believe Gomes is sincere with his Deion Sanders impression of a high-speed backpedal.  The only problem I’ve got with the whole […]

This piece was originally titled “World’s Worst 5×5 Fantasy League Baseball Guide for Spork Users“, but I determined that was decidely too pessimistic and catered to a very small audience (spork users).  It was also a ridiculously long title, so I abandoned it in favor of something a bit easier to remember.  Keep in mind […]

Play That Funky Music

by on February 25, 2011 · 4 comments

Before the Cardinals take the field for opening day, I thought I’d just give my suggestions on some walkup music options for some of the players.  The “walkup music” is the music that you hear as players are introduced for each at-bat, so some people know it as the “at-bat” music.  The music is usually […]

1 Card Pickup

by on February 24, 2011 · 20 comments

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard the news about Adam Wainwright.  You’ve probably also heard that Adam’s contract includes a few interesting tidbits that weren’t really talked about a lot until recently. His 2012 and 2013 options are guaranteed with a top 5 finish in either the 2010 or 2011 Cy […]

Blame the guy who hired the messenger.  I’m nearly the last person on Earth who would normally consider defending sports agents, because I don’t exactly consider them to be the last bastion of altruism.  Agents represent clients.  More precisely, agents attempt to represent their clients’ interests.  They do a lot of other things such as […]
