The St. Louis Cardinals wasted no time extending one of their most successful starting pitchers, free-agent-to-be, Kyle Lohse.  It seemed a deal was imminent when the righty was scratched from his scheduled start in the last game of the season to undergo a physical.  Today, the Cards made the official announcement.  Matthew Leach has more.
The 4-year contract [...]

Five!  Five wins! Ah ah ah!  The Cardinals kept the winning streak going with another win over the Reds tonight, and with only one more game in the season, have a chance to end on a positive note.
Pin this win on Todd Wellemeyer.  The Colonel was good again, giving up just three runs over 6.1 [...]

What’s going on with the Birds on the Bat?  They stayed in the race all season long before an ugly, unmotivated, and injury plagued September.  Now that they’ve been eliminated, they’re winning baseball games again.
Taking three of four and spoiling the playoff chances for the Arizona Diamondbacks was first, and now the Cardinals have stretched [...]

Every once in a while, there comes a time in your life when a unique opportunity will present itself.  Sometimes, these opportunities are easy to pass on.  Sometimes, a great self debate is needed to make sure you’re making the right decision.  And sometimes, it’s a once in a lifetime shot that you can’t miss, [...]

After a ten day break, which included a weekend trip to New York for the final series at Yankee Stadium, I’d say it’s about time I get back to daily posting.  Don’t worry, baseball fans, I’ll have plenty to tell about my trip tomorrow, along with a bunch of pictures from The House that Ruth [...]

More to come when I get back from playing in traffic… 

It’s already been seven years since the attacks, but it sure doesn’t seem like it.  Of course none of us will ever forget that day, but emotions can fade.  I think it’s good to recall the feelings you had at that time, so to stir your emotions up, here’s the clip of Cardinal broadcasting legend [...]

Ted Lilly is good, and that sucks. Really, he’s good.  Seriously, that sucks.  Lilly kept the Cardinal hitters off balance all night, lasting eight innings, giving up just one run on five hits.  He was brilliant.  To me, he looks hittable.  I guess to Major League hitters, he’s not.
So you’d think that Lilly’s dominance was [...]

The Cardinals were able to come away with a win last night in the first game of a three game series against the division leading Chicago Cubs.  Two key swings stood out in the win.  One, a rocket three run homer off the bat of Albert Pujols to tie the game in the sixth.  The [...]

It was ten years ago today that Cardinal slugger Mark McGwire hit his 62nd home run of the season, beating Chicago’s Sammy Sosa to the punch, setting a new single season home run record formerly held by Roger Maris.  It was an exciting time to be a baseball fan, and even more so, a Cardinal [...]
