Milwaukee Brewers
153 games down and 9 to go with the Cardinals owning a 2 1/2 game lead over the Brewers for the 2nd wild card spot in the National League. Ironically, that’s exactly the same advantage that the Braves held last year over the Cardinals with 9 games to play. That didn’t work out so well […]

If you agree that the MLB season represents a marathon and not a sprint, then the last 15-16 games must represent the last 2.6 miles to the finish line. Unless you can expand your finishing kick over that kind of distance, then a good portion of that can become more of a crawl than a […]
For the first time since May 24 of this season, the Cardinals control their own playoff destiny. By that I mean, if the playoffs were to start today, the Cards are in sole possession of a playoff berth. If they win enough games between now and the end of the season, and their pursuers lose […]
That’s right. The magic number for the Cardinals to eliminate the Chicago Cubs from the NL Central division title is 135. That would still leave the Cubs with a shot at the wild card, but it really is never too early to start taking shots at how bad the Cubs are. Why? Why not? Also, […]

Cardinals fans, even those on the realistic side, can’t help but hope – or perhaps even expect – that former first-round pick Shelby Miller will graduate to the majors by next April and become the next great St. Louis pitcher. Miller, who made his 2012 Spring Training debut Wednesday, is sculpted like the ideal right-handed […]

Late last night/early this morning, we posted our 1982/2011 Cards and Brewers roster mash-ups. The idea behind this undertaking is to find the best players, hitters, and pitchers from the 1982 and 2011 Milwaukee Brewers teams and make a roster with them – same for the 1982 and 2011 Cardinals. Now it’s time for the […]

Back in January of last year, we made a “mashup” of the Cardinal teams of 2000 and 2010 – choosing the best player seasons of each year and combining them to form one lineup/roster. In anticipation of NLCS Game Three, here is a similar exercise for the 1982 World Series and 2011 National League Championship […]

In an effort to keep things positive, to look forward to games still winnable, and – well – to ultimately put the bad taste of last night’s NLCS Game One loss out of our collective mouths, let’s look at some things we can reasonably expect to see tonight and beyond: Tony La Russa will not hesitate […]

So the Cardinals have made it to the National League Championship Series, beginning today in Milwaukee. Are you interested in going to any of the games? Should’ve snapped up those tickets Friday night after the Redbirds won, or even yesterday morning… Our ticket partner TiqIQ, is tracking the secondary market prices for tickets (as always) […]
