Yadier Molina
He can hit a grand slam with nobody on base. He once hit a ground-rule triple. He made Chuck Norris cry during a game of rock-paper-scissors. He calls his own balls and strikes, and nobody complains. He signs huge contracts just to make his agent look good. He once bruised Yadier Molina‘s ribs with a friendly […]
While doom and gloom should never be part of any fans’ experience, the reality becomes that baseball, as in life, is sometimes rarely fair. St. Louis has overcome enough obstacles in March/April to last well into the dog days, but the powers that be have decided to throw another wrench in the plans. The Cardinals […]
…about the 2010 Cardinals? “I’d play against these guys on one leg,” Phillips insisted before the game. “We have to beat these guys. All they do is b***h and moan about everything — all of them. They’re little b***hes — all of them. “I really hate the Cardinals. Compared to the Cardinals, I love the […]

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 […]
I’m usually hesistant to predict individual awards, because there is about a 20% chance of getting any of them correct, and I’m all about hitting the 1/4 mark. Then again, this is for the UCB, and I’ll gladly sacrifice quality for quantity in the name of the UCB. American League AL MVP – Robinson Cano […]

Darn the limitations of the 25 man roster. If ever there was a year the Cardinals could use a 30 man roster, it’s 2011. It’s not that the team would be all that much better (it probably would), it’s just that it would probably be a bit more fun to watch. Take Matt Carpenter for […]

The Cardinals looked great in a 10-4 dismantling of the Twins, and they didn’t even bring out the “big guns”, Holliday and Pujols. Skip Schumaker is hitting .385, Matt Carpenter is hitting .375, Daniel Descalso .333, Colby Rasmus .381, Jon Jay .375, Allen Craig .364, Mark Hamilton .348, Yadier Molina .357, and David Freese is […]

It’s one thing to look at the 2011 Cardinals and think about tweaking one thing here or making an adjustment there. Rebuilding is an altogether different approach, but few people really want to think about the “R” word right now. What about looking at the team by deconstructing it first? It’s like taking apart your […]

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 […]

The Cardinals have a big free agent problem looming, and they need to deal with it sooner as opposed to later. Instead of waiting until the last possible moment, I hope that they step up and complete a long-term deal right away. Just pay the man what he’s worth. That’s right. They need to pay […]
