“You can’t ask for anything more than to be playing meaningful games in September with a chance to make the playoffs.” ~Practically every player/coach/manager on a team about to miss the playoffs. Boom goes the dynamite, people. I sincerely hope that the folks in the video department for the Cardinals took time to piece together […]

Robinson Cano hit a metric butt-ton of bombs (32) on Monday night at Chase Field. And he could’ve hit more, hitting the winning home run with a handful of outs in pocket. Matt Holliday hit, well, decidedly less (7) off of his selected pitcher, Yadier Molina. (Wait, what? Yes, Tony La Russa must have been […]

Epic WAR Graph Wednesday today. It’s the SCRAPGraph. Or GRITGraph. Whichever you prefer. We’ve got Nick Punto. We’ve got Aaron Miles. We’ve got Craig Paquette. And just for good measure, The Secret Weapon, Jose Oquendo. And believe it or not, there are some fascinating things to be seen (isn’t that always the case with WAR […]

Following the weekend that shall no longer be named, suffering a sweep at the hands of the Reds in Cincinnati that was really making me rethink this post – or, more specifically, my assertion that the 2011 Cardinals were much different than the 2010 version. No sooner had the Cards finished rolling over for the […]

They’re little b***hes — all of them. “I really hate the Cardinals. Compared to the Cardinals, I love the […]

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 […]

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 […]

Before the Cardinals take the field for opening day, I thought I’d just give my suggestions on some walkup music options for some of the players. The “walkup music” is the music that you hear as players are introduced for each at-bat, so some people know it as the “at-bat” music. The music is usually […]

….and sign Nick Punto. Honestly, is there such a thing as too much of a mediocre-to-decent thing? Nick Punto? In 2010, Punto had 288 plate appearances and was good for .238/.313/.302/.615 for the Twins. Sure, he can play 3B, SS, and 2B, but can he pitch? After all, Aaron Miles is still available, and he can […]
