There really is no easy way to say “goodbye” to all 3 of our loyal readers. Actually, I would not be even writing a goodbye post, if not for the amazing readers of this blog. I feel I owe a bit in the way of an explanation to them. For those of you who stumbled […]

This week has been one of reflection for many people associated with the Cardinals – including us fans. The current team is struggling, and yet it seems so trivial in a way, as the mind wanders to teams gone by.

After celebrating a very long but exciting day at Busch Stadium for the Blogger event, it became apparent that a tradition needed to be started here for our three loyal readers. The Cardinals put us up in some amazing digs and to honor that a new segment will be running every few weeks (or when […]

The Versus network was showing “Greatest MLB Rivalries: Cardinals vs Cubs” the other night, and I happily volunteered one hour of my life to watching the show. I pretty much know the contents by heart, but I never pass up the opportunity to listen to a retelling of the “Curse of the Billy Goat“. […]

Growing up on the Iowa/Illinois border, two things were always assured every summer. You spent a lot of time in or around the Mississippi River and the Cubs/Cards rivalry became the big story no matter how each team was playing. Luckily for me I was able to witness the Big Mac/Sosa experience before leaving home […]
