The Cardinals won last night behind a solid Chris Carpenter effort and today get a much needed day off. Motte is going to the DL and as I said Fernando Salas has been called up again. The Cardinals are a half a game back with 54 games left – a three game series [...]

Did you hear the news? The Cardinals are retiring another number. Bud Norris. David Freese has also been retired for the season. Jason Motte has some arm/shoulder fatigue. The Cardinals have lost two games in disgusting fashion to the Astros. The Roy Oswalt and Lance Berkman-less Astros. Oh. [...]

What a way to go out of first place. Jake Westbrook battles – strikes out his fair share of batters and leaves with a 2 run lead. The author goes to bed but dreams of a blown loss to the Mets. I wake up to find it wasn’t the Mets it was [...]

Ryan Ludwick is a Cardinal no longer – he was a good player and always seemed to be overperforming. The Cardinals owe a lot of solid production to him but John Jay was forcing the issue with his hot bat and Ludwick’s impending (again) arbitration raise was going to make him a Cardinal no [...]

I think it really is for the best that Jeff Suppan only pitched 4 strong innings last night. It doesn’t get my hopes up for next time that he’s gonna save the team or even be a strong fill in for the rotation. He knows he obviously has a few things to work [...]

Boy this team really can hit sometimes. Too bad they aren’t going to face Luke French again this year. Can you believe he’s a lefty? The Cardinals enter a distinctly new phase of the season when Jeff Suppan enters the rotation tonight. I hope the lineup stays just like it was [...]

It’s hard enough to follow the team from the east coast when they’re on the west coast and when they’re playing as they did I am less inclined to do so. If I told you that in one week the Cardinals won one only one game and it was on a 3 run homerun [...]

If the Cardinals beat the Reds today they will begin June tied for first place with a record of 30-22. With the hitters sputtering to life (last six games by # runs: 0, 1, 8, 7, 0, 9) and the bullpen back from the brink it’s not a bad place to be in. [...]

That was a ballgame folks. The Cardinals won in 10 innings and they certainly should have lost. Albert was out by a mile stealing third but for some reason Brandon Wood forgot to tag him. The team got so many men on base in the final innings if it weren’t for the [...]

Before getting worried or upset repeat to yourself, “Chris Carpenter pitches today for the series win, against the Angels.” Any series won in interleague play (aside from against the Royals) is a positive. The Angels do happen to have their best pitcher Jered Weaver pitching today. The only time he has faced [...]
