Another day passing without baseball. Another silent afternoon of reflection and forward thinking. What will the second half bring? Was the first half some mirage built of promises bound to die on a vine of a fire sale? Well, let every other outlet across this fair...
We were spoiled. From 1998 until 2010, 30 home runs and 100 runs batted in was a given. Whether it was Mark McGwire, Ray Lankford, Jim Edmonds, Scott Rolen, or Albert Pujols, we had a lineup without relief. But, the last 15 years the cupboard has been about as bare as...
I sit here torn, like a man that wants six-pack abs standing over a Casey’s sausage pizza. I want a chance to win NOW, but deep down I know it’s a distant dream as I gaze out over the landscape of the National League. And my favorite definition of self-discipline is...
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...

As the air turns to Autumn my mind turns to nostalgia. The teams of years gone by. The players, the fans in the stands, the sound of the roar from Clark echoing through the canyons of downtown. There were times of joy, despair, jubilation, and confetti below...
Let’s do this. I’m in. I love October, I love it more with local baseball on the telly. Can our Birds do it? Why the heck not? As you read this the St.Louis Cardinals are 61-61 having played 122 of their scheduled 162 games. 40 contests left. 40 opportunities to...
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...
