At All-Star break, Cardinals, Brewers tied for first

The Pirates are just one game back and the Reds four. StLCards.net will return fully after the break.

Cardinals struggle for 20 days, beat Rays and remain in first

Cards WIN

In the 19 days I’ve missed the Cardinals won only 3 games until the last three days when they swept the Orioles. Because they play in the NL Central and the Brewers drew the Yankees and Red Sox as Interleague opponents and the Cardinals got the Orioles and the Rays they are [...]

On Leave

StLCards.net is taking a leave of absence for the United States Open. The Cardinals are just a half game in first place right now. Where will they be when I return?

Lance Lynn gets first win, Cardinals win series

Cards WIN

The Cardinals got back on track after the Bud Norris hiccup and won 2 of 3 in Houston. Miguel Batista had more trouble, once again in a situation of little consequence, Eduardo Sanchez did not, pitching the last two innings of the game and allowing no base runners. The Cardinals are now [...]

Bud Norris does it again, Cardinals only get 2 hits in loss

Cards LOSE

Ok, that will be the last time I say anything about Bud Norris. The Cardinals simply were flat against him yesterday. Lance Berkman accounted for the only run and broke up a no-hitter with a solo home run in the seventh inning. Albert Pujols doubled in the ninth for the only other [...]

Cardinals continue to roll, Pujols homers again

Cards WIN

Jake Westbrook wasn’t stellar last night, but anything he failed to do on the mound he made up for with his bat. In the 4th inning, Daniel Descalso was intentionally walked to load the bases when Westbrook came up. He drove the first pitch into the gap in left center field for [...]

Albert Pujols does it again, Cardinals sweep Cubs

Cards WIN +1 (-2) last +/- game was Thursday

What a weekend. Albert Pujols hit 4 HRs over three games against the Cubs. The last two were walk-offs to win the Saturday and Sunday ballgames in extra innings. Chris Carpenter still can’t buy a win but but the Cardinals bailed him out from another [...]

Albert Pujols muscles walk-off homer, returns to form

Cards WIN

Albert Pujols is back. He had three extra base hits yesterday and won the game with a walk-off home run. It was a low ball that he managed to hit all the way out of the park. This was the Pujols we are used to seeing, the one who can do things [...]

Cardinals beat Cubs 6-1 in near perfect win

Cards WIN

It was a perfect game for 4 and 1/3 innings then it quickly ended like it did last time for Jaime Garcia, a walk of Carlos Pena, a double by Lou Montanez that erased the remaining no-hitter and shutout when Pena scored. But it was a near perfect win in every other [...]

Cubs come to St. Louis for first time in 2011

Let’s get ready to rumble! The Cubs come to town tonight for a three game series. Jaime Garcia pitches tonight and it’s a pretty important question how he bounces back from the two less than Garcia starts that he has thrown previously. The Cardinals remain atop the standings, the Brewers are 2 games back [...]
