Hold everything … what’s going on? Are the Cardinals trying to bring entertaining baseball back to the modern MLB? I don’t know who these people think they are with their bushel baskets of singles, their style of running the bases in a way that would delight Ty Cobb....
It was another silent night for the abominable St. Louis offense, and it was nothing new. The bats in the lineup were punchless, and largely lifeless, in a 3-0 loss to the Mets on Tuesday at Busch Stadium, with NY pitchers shutting down the Cardinal hitters on three...
The Cardinals won six of 10 games on their three-town, 10-game road trip. Now, going 6-4 makes for a good winning percentage (.600.) I know and appreciate this. But that said, I’m a little greedy and I can’t shake this opinion: the Cardinals should have come away with...
It’s on to Cincinnati for the Cardinals, who played their worst game of the season in Thursday’s 5-0 loss in Miami. The Cardinals had a chance to complete a three-game sweep of the Marlins but simply weren’t engaged mentally. The defense was sloppy and negligent....

With the Cardinals’ 28-man roster (unofficially) set for the start of the new season, I want to circle back and take a look at the position-player side of things. This opinion likely puts me in the minority … but this team has a really good group of position players....
We’re down to a week to go before the Cardinals line up for their season opener at home against the Pirates. There will be pomp and circumstance and a family reunion highlighted by the homecoming of Albert Pujols. The town will be painted red. There will be Adam...
