Hello, everyone.
It’s time to make official what has been unofficial for several months now:
The 26th Man is closing up shop.
Parenting and working full time just don’t leave enough time to allow for the kind of Cardinals blogging I want do, n...

After having 24 hours to cogitate on the La Russa-Pujols All Star Conundrum, I think I’ve made my decision.
I’m done with La Russa.
I know that means absoloutely nothing in the grand scheme, because A) I’m a blogger, B) an untalented one...

Cardinals reliever Josh Hancock was killed in a car crash early Sunday. Another tragedy strikes the Cardinals.

That handsome sonuvabitch on the right is Miles. You might remember him from such posts as this one from last year, when it was announced that Aaron Miles had made the team.
He’s my dog. And he’s dying.
He’d been limping for several day...

Once again, the combination of a below-average offense running into above-average pitching doomed the Cardinals on Tuesday.
There’s not really much I can add a day later, except to say that we have our first entry on the Soap in the Towel Award lead...

With 12 runs scored in Sunday’s tilt against the Cubs, that makes 32 runs scored during the past three Sabbaths, compared with just 30 in the Cardinals’ other 15 games.
This gives me an idea. I think the team should petition the NFL for re-est...

Getting beaten by the hated Cubs is bad enough. To get shut out is even worse.
But to be on the business end of seven scoreless innings from He Who Shall Not Be Named is the ultimate indignity.
Ironically enough, it appeared that HWSNBN was up to his old...

Well, maybe not entirely. But at least during games.
I had it all lined up: The house was (sort of) picked up and The Boy down for a nap mere minutes before the first pitch. All lined up except for one thing: I had to be at work at 4 and needed a shower.

At first I thought I may have jinxed Randy Keisler.
A few hours after the Soap in the Towel Award post, Keisler took the bump against the hated (by me, at least) Giants. After an easy first inning, the Keez found himself in trouble each inning he pitched...

Do you remember that scene from “Full Metal Jacket” when the other members of Pvt. Pyle’s company, tired of his repeated mistakes that get the rest of them in trouble, throw him a towel partyWatching Anthony Reyes’ and Adam Wainwr...

Apparently, J.D. Drew hates Cardinals fans.
In a recent Associated Press story, Drew talks about how important it was for him to get off to a good start in Boston, a noted baseball town:
Drew said Boston’s passion for baseball seems similar to that ...

After Albert, of course.
During the first week and a half of the season, Chris Duncan has yet to show his performance in 2006 was a fluke.
Yeah, yeah… sample size and all that, but he’s strung together some good at-bats so far this season:Last...

The Cardinals $63.5 million ace is having some elbow problems:
Cardinals staff ace Chris Carpenter was placed on the 15-day disabled list Monday after an MRI exam in St. Louis revealed arthritis and a previously undiscovered impingement in his right elbow...

Two in a row counts as a streak, right
I guess the team was tired of my recent whining about how they arent hitting and busted out in a big way Sunday against the Astros.
Slow-starting Scott Rolen, Yadier Molina and Albert Pujols, who started this season...

Well, the Cardinals hitting woes continued Saturday night, but at least it was by the arm of an actual good pitcher.
Roy Oswalt continued his careerlong excellence against the Cardinals by going the distance Saturday, allowing just one run on five hits.

While the national sports media were falling all over themselves after one pitchers first start, Cardinal Nation was more concerned with a different hurlers debut.
For one night at least, Adam Wainwright showed hes a capable starting pitcher, going seven ...

Last time, the Cardinals nearly got swept by the Royals.
This time Were on the verge again, this time by the Mets, a team that by most accounts is the class of the National League.
To add injury to insult, Chris Carpenters got a bum elbow. If he misses m...

The last few days of spring training often move the slowest, as Opening Day is so tantalizingly close yet so agonizingly far away.
So the obsessive Internet nerds while away their anxieties by inventing trade scenarios. I ran across an interesting one at ...
