Maybe the Cardinals have been going about things all wrong for the past couple of weeks. The Redbirds did nothing on the field worth noting yesterday, and yet they picked up a half game on the Brewers in the standings. “Huzzah” for doing nothing, I say. If only the Cardinals could pick up a few games by doing […]

So, what is the good news? You may have to dig a little for it, but I’ll give you 10 reasons why Cardinal fans should be optimistic during the next 6 weeks.

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 […]

After scoring just 15 runs in the first 6 games of the season, it’s fairly safe to say that the Cardinals are not lighting anybody up on offense. With the Redbirds sitting at 2-4, I’m willing to look at the bright side of things for a moment, though. They’ve wasted two pretty good outings by […]

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 […]
