“A man walks down the street, He says, Why am I soft in the middle now? Why am I soft in the middle? The rest of my life is so hard! “ ~You Can Call Me Al (Paul Simon) Paul had it right. Why are the Cardinals so soft in the middle? The answer [...]

Hellooo, TLR! Is this thing even on? Has anybody besides me noticed that Matt Holliday hasn’t exactly been pounding the ball since going 3/5 on May 13th against the Reds? Since that day, he’s gone 4/31 and dropped his batting average from .398 to .344. A hitting slump alone isn’t cause for concern, especially when [...]

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 [...]

Drew Silva from NBCSports.com’s Hardball Talk blog and Rotoworld.com joins us to talk about the Cardinals and the NL Central. We touched on several topics (ranging across a couple recording dates) including the Cards’ defense, bullpen, Chris Carpenter‘s struggles, and Ryan Theriot versus Brendan Ryan (and Tyler Greene, and Nick Punto, and Daniel Descalso, and [...]

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 [...]

Cardinals fans at Busch Stadium this weekend have been treated to three starting pitching gems so far in just two games – two for the good guys (Jaime Garcia and Kyle Lohse) and one by the opposing Brewers (Yovani Gallardo). Lohse’s required a bit more wiggle work, but he was outstanding again nonetheless. We enter [...]

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 [...]

St. Louis and San Diego are locked up in a tight one, thanks to a key defensive play by Daniel Descalso. The Cards’ third baseman snared a Ryan Ludwick grounder with the bases loaded and doubled up the Padres to keep the Birds on the Bat leading through six. Jaime Garcia continued his domination through [...]

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 [...]

Darn the limitations of the 25 man roster. If ever there was a year the Cardinals could use a 30 man roster, it’s 2011. It’s not that the team would be all that much better (it probably would), it’s just that it would probably be a bit more fun to watch. Take Matt Carpenter for [...]
