…and apparently, neither can Tony La Russa. Chris Carpenter threw another 119 pitches last night, marking the ninth time this season he has gone over 115 in a start, the most in one season in his career. After the first inning, it appeared those 119 might only last him five innings. Alas, Carpenter settled down […]

I’ve got an ever-growing number of items floating around the ole desk here that I need to get resolved, so as such, here’s one big catch-all post to take care of them… Trade Deadline Not ecstatic to see Colby Rasmus leave, but I think it was another situation where the relationship (however you want to […]

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. […]

Before the haters out there get too excited, this isn’t really about pitting the two against one another. Instead, the point of this post is to try to explain why Jon Jay has such a positive perception among fans while Colby Rasmus produces more of a mixed reaction. When fans of Jon Jay laud his […]

Bad news, Cards fans. Maybe you already know this, maybe you don’t. Albert Pujols being on the disabled list is not the only cause of the Cards’ recent slide. The lineup looks really strange with him out and Matt Holliday hitting third, followed by whatever combination Tony La Russa scabs together that day. But given […]

After intense negotiations, Justin from the That Ball’s Outta Here blog were able to come to an agreement to trade quick-fire questions about each other’s favorite ballclubs. There were players to be named later and undisclosed sums of cash involved. Don’t worry about that, just prepare to read about the Phillies… PH8: The Phillies have […]

Is it unsettling that the Cardinals needed late game heroics from Matt Holliday and Skip Schumaker to escape with wins on Saturday and Sunday? This sense of disquiet actually has nothing to do with the opponent, because the Royals are not only young and talented, but they represent exactly the kind of team that the Cardinals […]

Jack Moore of Disciples of Uecker (U before the E, fools), Fangraphs, and Roto Hardball joins us to talk Brewers baseball. Luckily his segment was recorded before the weekend series, so he couldn’t embarrass us. (I’m sure that’s bound to come in the comments.) Additionally, despite the title of this episode, I’m still a relatively […]

I am declaring myself the Medium High Emperor of All-Star Game Voting. Why? Why not? Nobody else has declared themselves “Medium High Emperor”, have they? Besides, it sounds good, and I think it will look great on my updated resume. There are no actual responsibilities or powers that come with the title, but it should be enough […]

Based on everything I read on blogs and saw on television last night, I was starting to form the impression that Albert Pujols was missing in action until his recent home run spree. I couldn’t disagree more. The big fella has been there all along. At approximately the 1/3 mark of the season, Pujols was on track to […]
