Here we are still four days away from the Super Bowl, and I’m already sick of the thing.  Luckily, there are guys like Bernie Miklasz, of the Post Dispatch, that can somehow mix in a little baseball with his media day coverage.  He talks about Tony LaRussa’s relationship to Patriot’s head coach, Bill Belicheck.  It’s [...]

Pujols is in the news again.  Phillies’ first baseman, Ryan Howard, is arbitration eligible, and is comparing himself to Cardinals’ slugger Albert Pujols.  Apparently, there is a $3 million difference in exchanged figures for the arbitration case, but Howard is seeking a long term deal worth somewhere between Pujols’ contract and Alex Rodriguez’s last bounty. [...]

The Cardinals reached an agreement with the last of their arbitration eligible players today.  Pitcher, Todd Wellemeyer signed a one year, $1 million contract, which includes $100,000 in possible incentives for starts or innings pitched.  Rick Hummel has the full story here.
Wellemeyer was picked up off waivers from Kansas City last May.  After joining the [...]

The excitement of buying my Spring Training tickets has yet to wear off. This spring is my third year of attending the games in Jupiter, which is only an hour from my place.  My excitement, along with the lack of Cardinals news, allows me to take this time to get a little personal.

I dug up this old video game commercial for your viewing pleasure.  Enjoy!

The anticipation and excitement for Spring Training has just gotten bigger.  Former Cardinals catcher, Mike Matheny, will head to Jupiter, Florida, to help instruct for the first two weeks of training camp.  Rick Hummel has the full story.
“This would be a foot in the door,” said Matheny, who has previously expressed an interest in coaching.

The news of Yadier Molina’s new contract has finished making its rounds though the Cardinals’ corner of cyberspace.  As I read others’ reactions and opinions of the deal, one article in particular, really caught my eye.  The sabermetrics guys over at Fungoes further analyzed Molina’s effect on the running game (or lack thereof).  It’s an [...]

The Cardinals inked catcher Yadier Molina to a four year contract today worth a guaranteed $15.5 million.  Molina will make $1.75 million in 2008, $3.25 million in 2009, $4.25 million in 2010, and $5.25 million in 2011.  The contract also includes a $250,000 signing bonus, and an option for 2012 worth $7 million.
