In the first home game in eleven days, a series opener with the New York Mets, Kyle Lohse led the Cardinals to a decisive win.  Recall Lohse’s last start, in Detroit, when he lasted only 4 innings, and allowed 5 runs on 11 hits.  It was his only poor outing in five June starts.  Tonight, [...]

It’s a saying that I first heard from my good friend Jimmy, and there’s no better one that could describe the breakout game today from Cardinal backup catcher Jason LaRue.  It was his performance, both offensively and defensively, that allowed the Cards to win the series today in Kansas City.
In the first inning, with the [...]

Finally.  The Cardinals beat the Royals.  Heading into tonight’s game, Kansas City had taken all four previous meetings between the two clubs, including a sweep of the Redbirds at Busch.  With the win, the Cardinals are poised to take this series with a win tomorrow afternoon.
Mitchell Boggs was the story in this one.  He got [...]

Well the Cardinals couldn’t get it done against the Royals in their first four opportunities, so they’ll try again tomorrow.
Tonight was game one of the series in Kansas City, and although the action was a little different from the three games in St. Louis, the outcome was the same.  The Royals won.  Yeah, the Royals. [...]

In a battle of the bats at a rain soaked Comerica Park, the Detroit Tigers came out ahead after a lengthy delay to even the series.  The Cardinal offense was potent, but their pitching left a lot to be desired.
The Cards took an early lead on a lead off home run by Skip Schumaker, and [...]

For some bizarre reason, the schedule makers for MLB have the St. Louis Cardinals visiting Detroit for the third straight year.  It’s pretty ridiculous.  Regardless, the Cards were able to win the first game of the series, despite getting swept out of Tigertown the past two years.
The Cardinal bats were able to peg Detroit cheater [...]

This is the montage that’s played at Busch Stadium, featuring all of your favorite St. Louis Cardinals.  Enjoy!

After rolling Dice K in yesterday’s romping of the Red Sox, the Cardinals were going for the sweep today at Fenway.  With Joel Pineiro and Jon Lester as the scheduled starters, and Albert Pujols and David Ortiz on the DL, who’d have guessed we were in for such an entertaining game.
The two starting pitchers matched each other [...]

I wasn’t sure what to think after Kansas City Royally kicked our ass in the last series. I’m a bigger fan than most, but can honestly say that I didn’t expect much from the series opener tonight at Fenway.  Earlier today, when I scanned over the lineups for tonight’s matchup against the Sox, I thought [...]

Very impressive.  The Cardinals were able to execute the game plan I outlined in yesterday’s post to perfection, losing all three games of the series to the Kansas City Royals.  Here’s tonight’s recap and box score.
Heading into this series, I remember thinking how it was the perfect time to gain some ground on the division leading Cubs.  That certainly didn’t [...]
