Ahhh… the home opener. I’ve never gotten to experience in person the pageantry of the Clydesdales, convertibles and Cardinals — and barring some sort of serendipitous blend of already having the day off work and “Dude, I got ticket...

The Cardinals have made a slight change to their rotation going into the weekend. Instead of pitching Chris Carpenter on normal rest Saturday and having Jaime Garcia go on Sunday, the two will switch places. Take it away, Tony:
I don’t think Sunday nigh...

When a team scores only one run, you can be fairly certain why they lost. Cardinals hitters not named Skip Schumaker or Matt Holliday just couldn’t get it going Thursday against Bronson F. Arroyo.
But if the season’s first series is any indica...

Editor’s note: Back in my regular blogging days, probably my favorite Cardinals blogger — non Viva El Birdos edition — was Cardnilly. One of his regular features was a series preview in which he would look at each team’s batters vs...

As part of the current United Cardinals Bloggers project, members are to post predictions of the various divisions of MLB. Today’s post is for the inferior circuit.
As you read this post, I will be on the train steaming (dieseling) toward Chicago f...

Now don’t get me wrong… as a Cardinals fan, of course I’m rooting for the kid. But if he’s starting in my fantasy lineup, it means I didn’t have a very good draft.
My league is set up so you keep three guys: one “supers...

The Cardinals are a month into spring training now, and with just two weeks until opening day, each plate appearance and each inning pitched gets a little more meaningful.
The problem with that, of course, is the dreaded small sample size. You really can...

The Washington Nationals on Wednesday inexplicably released enigmatic outfielder Elijah Dukes. As a righthanded hitter with a vague idea of how to play center field, he has qualities that the Cardinals have a theoretical use for, if not necessarily a prac...

The Hot Stove.com blog has a regular series in which it poses team-specific questions to a few bloggers who cover said teams, and on Tuesday, this was asked of a couple Cardinals bloggers:
With the Cardinals’ outfield set for 2010, what will become of t...

Maybe I’m just the cynically suspicious (the snarky cousin of magically delicious) sort, but the race for the No. 5 spot in the rotation has a familiar ring to it.
Jaime Garcia, Kyle McClellan and Rich Hill are the three main candidates for the role...

Recently, in the vast baseball blogosphere, there have been quite a few attempts to try to introduce advanced statistics to people who are interested but don’t quite understand them. I’m thankful for these efforts, but oftentimes just readin...

This Web log is a member of the United Cardinals Bloggers simply by virtue that I blog about the St. Louis Cardinals here. The other member blogs do all the heavy lifting for the group; I’m just riding on their coattails.
The latest bit of good work...

Many thanks to Daniel of Cardinal 70 at the Bat… were it not for him graciously including me on the United Cardinals Bloggers projects, this Web log would be, well… gathering more dust than it currently is.
Anyway, January’s project is t...

With Ryan Ludwick having signed a deal for 2010 and Skip Schumaker getting close, what little room remains in the Cardinals’ payroll is coming into better focus.
There still are a few loose ends on the roster: third base, reserve outfielder, fifth s...

Worth a thousand words, and all that.
I took more than 60 photos at Monday’s Cardinals Caravan stop at the Prairie Capital Convention Center, and the one above best captured the overall atmosphere there.
The highlight of the evening — at least...

Combine the thirst for and subsequent dearth of actual news this time of year with Twitter’s ability to quickly disseminate information and you have a sort of perfect storm.
Consider this tweet Wednesday night from Yahoo’s Tim Brown:

The Cardinals Caravan, which annualy sends players and alumni to the far-flung reaches of Cardinal Nation, is making a stop in Springfield on Monday, presumably to celebrate Martin Luther King Day.
On the docket for the event at the Prairie Capital Conven...

Well, I got to watch only the bottom of the eighth and top of the ninth of the St. Louis Cardinals’ opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates. And really, that’s all I needed to see.
In his first save situation of the 2009 season, Jason Motte didn...

Nothing like a nonsensical trade rumor to awaken a dormant blogger…
As spring training winds down, teams are frantically working to finalize their 25-man rosters before breaking camp and heading north. For many clubs, that means finagling trades to ...
