Matt Capps should be thankful that Albert Pujols cannot throw a 100 mph fastball. Or that he would likely never bat versus the Cardinals in a situation to be hit anyway. Or that Albert just didn’t feel like maiming a guy who could arguably be laughed at for calling himself a closer in the first [...]

One year ago today, we were talking about an extended start from Joel Pineiro and what it meant for his status in the starting rotation during an up-and-down 2008 season.
It is always entertaining to go back to these posts and see how things looked then.
Particularly Chris Carpenter coming back soon, Chris Perez being the undoubted [...]

If you needed any more evidence to back up our prior assertion that Chris Duncan is one of the more polarizing players of recent Cardinal history, you need only read the wide variety and massive number of St Louis mainstream media pieces, blog posts, and message board threads on the Duncan-Julio Lugo trade.
For every “THANK [...]

I learned a new baseball term (or maybe just a local one) on Thursday night, when Derrick Goold Twittered back at yours truly explaining that Adam Wainwright’s getting out of another bases loaded situation on Tuesday night in Milwaukee was known as a ‘Houdini’. (Get it? Escape? Good.)
Well, of course, the Play Index at Baseball-Reference.com [...]

Trying to overcome nine walks from your pitching staff in one game is pretty difficult, yet there the Cardinals were, with the bases loaded and Yadier Molina at the plate.
Alas, it wasn’t meant to be.
As Brewers beat-man Tom Haudricourt Twittered during the game:
Brewers-Cards, 4-4 in the 8th. If Brewers win, they pull within one. If [...]

Wa-hey! That’s a winner!
After another frustrating night on offense from the Cardinals (don’t know about you, but I find it virtually impossible to tell anymore if the Cardinal lineup is that bad, or if we are just seeing great pitching each night – let’s call it both), the Cards finally were able to make good [...]

Earlier this week, Fox Sports Midwest studio anchor and co-host of the “Parris and Burwell” radio show Pat Parris posted to his blog on the 101 ESPN website, indicating he had the answer for the Cardinals’ offensive struggles.
Please, Pat, do tell!
Instant Help For Offense…Bat Pitcher 9th
With a title like that, it seemed so easy. Surely [...]

Well, judging by the title, this should be a fun exercise, no?
Good thing: Colby Rasmus going three-for-four with a home run, double, single, a run scored and one batted in.
Bad thing: Dan and Al going on incessantly about how Rasmus “only needs a triple for the cycle” following the single to put him in such [...]

Nice of the Cardinals to decide to take a game from Pittsburgh while they were in town. I was beginning to think that the Pirates would wind up in first place in the division by the time the Cards escaped…
Mitchell Boggs did “just well enough” in his short outing again to put the Cardinals in [...]

Yeah, I know…it’s not really reveille when it goes off at 4pm. Consider this the “sleeping in” version of the Reveille…

Ryan Ludwick hits the shelf. Todd Wellemeyer gets creamed. Lineup still not hitting. Cards and Pirates are on the verge of combustion during this series via the beanball.
Am I missing something, or did nothing good [...]
