St Louis Cardinals
The ink has barely dried on the St Louis Cardinals’ agreement to continue to partner with the Memphis Redbirds as its triple-A affiliate through 2012. The Pacific Coast League’s Redbirds have been a mainstay in Memphis as the club’s highest level minor league affiliate since the Cards broke affiliation with the Louisville Redbirds (now the […]

The Milwaukee Brewers fired Ned Yost today, according to ESPN.com. The Brewers were just swept by the Philadelphia Phillies, dropping them into a tie with the Phillies in the NL Wild Card race. The Brewers have lost 11 of their last 14 games, allowing many teams to climb back into the playoff hunt. This makes […]

That’s really all the Cardinals had to do this season, with any sort of regularity, to be staring a playoff berth right in the eyes. Sure, 5-10 against the Brewers hasn’t done them any favors either (and 2-4 against the Royals, and 3-4 against the Giants). They’ve had their other opportunities, they’ve had many chances […]

I would not have sent Ryan Franklin out for a second inning (although, who I am kidding, I wouldn’t have brought him into a tie game to begin with). I would have had Felipe Lopez bunting with Brendan Ryan on first and no one out. I definitely would have had Lopez bunting with Ryan on […]

I was asked to take part in a ‘United Cardinal Bloggers‘ project which tasked several of us Cardinal blog writers to list our top seven prospects in the organization. That was the only instruction, there were no further restrictions. As such, my list follows: 1. OF Colby Rasmus – Obviously, any Cardinal prospect list has […]

Well, that’s really where it all began, isn’t it? I apologize for my longer than anticipated absence, and in some ways, I’m not that sorry. I barely got to see any Cardinal baseball while I’ve been on ‘hiatus’, and that’s seemingly been a good thing. I hate to go down the path of pessimist, but […]

This has been a tough season to really understand. At the beginning not much was anticipated. Rotation seemed shaky with Carpenter out and three rookies in the outfield and an injury prone 3B taking over for perennial gold glovers Edmonds and Rolen, together with all the uncertainty of Pujols’ elbow, tempered expectations to say the […]

I am, unfortunately, going to be pretty much out of commission for the rest of this week, due to commitments out of my control. Yes, that includes not really being able to keep tabs on what happens in the Milwaukee series. I do plan on returning with a full head of steam during the Labor […]
I will be at Busch III today for the 2:55p start against the Braves. Keep tabs on the Redbird Tweets in the sidebar for updates from me at the stadium! If anyone else is at the game today, post your seat location in the comments – I’ll swing by and buy you a cold beer… […]
Cardinals General Manager John Mozeliak conducted a live chat via STLToday.com on Wednesday (it was apparently the second such appearance he’s made over there). I just saw it for the first time yesterday, and I have to say that I was surprised. Not by the typical Cardinal organization ‘non-answer/generalizations’ like this one: Jason Winders: Greetings, […]
