Lance Berkman
At some point, I’m waiting for an outbreak of common sense to strike. The sky will no longer be falling, and people will stop preaching “doom and gloom” to the members of Cardinal Nation for the sake of page views and ratings. Ultimately, the factual reality will prevail over conjecture, hearsay, and third generation innuendo […]
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 […]

After taking a step back and seriously contemplating what the Tampa Bay Rays have done during the off-season, I was reminded that there are many, many ways to build a baseball team. The options that a front office has to choose from are often limited by factors such as financial, competitive, or internally driven realities. […]

“I say and I say it again, you’ve been had. You’ve been took. You’ve been hoodwinked, bamboozled, led astray, run amok.” ~Malcolm X (Malcolm X – a Spike Lee joint) I couldn’t have said it better myself (probably because Denzel Washington has a way better speaking voice, and he’s well…Denzel). Someone has tried to pull the […]

C’mon! You didn’t think I was going to go into some long-winded analogy about cholesterol, heart-healthy diets, and cardiology, did you? Did you? I’m not that predictable, or at least I hope I’m not that predictable. No, I’m talking about the heart of the order. In this case, I’m specifically talking about Rasmus-Pujols-Holliday. Consider what […]

Yes, I’m pretty sure the Cardinals have gone to plaid, but I’ll explain that later. Focus on poker first, because I have a serious poker/baseball question to ask. Are the Cardinals going “all in” for 2011? For those of you who aren’t familiar with the phrase “all in”, it’s a poker term that refers to a […]

If you’re Lance Berkman (and you’re probably not), the title is probably quite representative of what you get when you consume any kind of sports news content generated recently regarding “Big Puma” and the St. Louis Cardinals. Left field or right field. Which one should he play? Bernie Miklasz weighed in on the subject in his column, Bernie […]
Obviously, there must be a huge pile of money located near a ledge somewhere, because this would logically explain why so many Cardinals fans had to be asked to back away from ledges yesterday. I’m kidding of course, and the “ledges” weren’t real. The only huge pile of money involved was the one the Cardinals’ […]
As mentioned at the end of our big NL Central Predictions project, we followed up the original request for predictions and comments with a set of questions about the teams in the divisions. Here are the questions, and the responses that we received, for your enjoyment on this 2010 Opening Day: 1. The St. Louis […]

In an effort to put a new spin on making preseason predictions this year, we decided to get outside input from those who know the division best – other folks writing about the NL Central. It just so happens this falls in line with the United Cardinal Bloggers’ 2010 Predictions project as well, so two […]
