Chris Carpenter’s fine outing against the Cincinnati Reds last night had me wondering: The Cardinals’ starting pitching staff has been phenominal (with a few hiccups) in the last month or so, but are they clearly distancing themselves from the rest of the league in that regard? Well, classic metrics tell us it is so. The [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Days like today renew my interest in baseball. The Cards took a tough loss on the chin Saturday afternoon, they lost an opportunity to strike back yesterday because of weather, and today was a scheduled day off. I took the opportunity to listen to the Memphis Redbirds play in Oklahoma City versus the Redhawks. The [...]

With this unexpected two-day break in action for the Cardinals, how better to spend your time than catching up on odds and ends around the web – and then top it off with some minor league baseball? 1. A Cubs-based cemetery? Won’t it be filled up with all of the hopes of Cub fans and [...]
I know, I know – here we go again. Many of you have no doubt read all of the things Tony has done wrong over at the STLToday.com Cards Talk forums. You know the routine over there - “the season is over,” “Tony must go,” “why didn’t they sign a closer?” – those type of [...]

Dear Tony: I have to pay for this domain name. It was based upon a promise you made a little over a year ago to strategically get Albert Pujols more at-bats while still getting him into the cleanup spot. I thought it so unique that I ran out and started this site. Now you’re reneging [...]
