The Cardinals have their backs against the wall, and the odds are against them. They need to leave it all out on the field tonight, give it 110%, and execute like never before. They need to ante up and kick in, kick the tires and light the fires, and hold nothing back. It’s time to [...]
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 [...]

Sounds like a pretty cool name for a band, right? Actually, with his appearance catching in the late innings of Sunday night’s game, Nick Stavinoha joined a short list of Cardinal players that have made a one-game cameo playing catcher (when catcher is not their natural position). Today’s roster move to put Jason LaRue on [...]

I didn’t get to see all of the game in Cincinnati last night (MLB.tv clearly still working out the bugs this season), but what I did see via the tiny little screen on my iPhone (AtBat working like a charm) left me with the following quick hits: Cardinals 6, Reds 3 Ryan Frankhausen? Isringlin? Ryan [...]

What an outing by Todd Wellemeyer last night. Efficient, only 87 pitches through seven innings of work. He scattered some hits, but only allowed one run – and most importantly – only one walk. Gotta make Dave Duncan happy. This Cardinal staff is leading the National League in fewest walks allowed. —– Brian Barden got [...]
