I get it. We all get it. You’re afraid this is going to be another year of losing Cardinals baseball. A sad sequel to 2025, something to suffer through. But I’m here to tell you that you are wrong. More wrong than when Nyjer Morgan thought he would get the best of...
It finally happened. He’s gone, he’s really gone! At the announcement that Kyle Hendricks is hanging up the cleats forever I felt a metric ton of anxiety leave my body. When he was on the bump I knew, hell all of us knew, there’s almost zero point in watching this...
As we witness the end of the Mozeliak era and the dawn of the Age of Bloom, I want answers about 2025. I want to know where it all went wrong. And, as I drove to meet the Great Danny Mac for coffee last week at the amazing MAC West it hit me like a Bob Gibson fastball...

His numbers are good, not great. The respect from fans and media can be best described as “tepid.” But, I argue he has been what he was signed to be, an Ace. Now that I’ve lost 73% of readers who will now leave scathing comments after reading a sentence, how about us...
They’ve broken me, my Cardinals. This team seems so distant, non-understandable, endlessly frustrating and filled with unmet potential. I wrote multiple times about how good this team could be. Multiple former and future All-Stars, former top 5 Cy Young finishers, MVP...
There’s been a week to reflect upon Nolan Arenado hitting the 350th home run of his career last week. That number alone is impressive, but there have been 102 other fellas to do it as well. But you pair it with 10 Gold Gloves, and you have one of the most exclusive...
