It’s World Series Time!
Yes the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Los Angeles Dodgers like I predicted as did the Boston Red Sox by beating the Detroit Tigers. Got both of those right. Sorry to all my Tigers fan friends. I wish Jim Leyland the best in his retirement. Remember he was a Cardinals scout before he took your […]
Hunt For Red October
With less than two weeks left in the regular season St. Louis Cardinals fans are getting that itch for postseason. The Cardinals are tied for first place in the National League Central Division and their magic number to clinch a birth in the playoffs stands around 5 as I am writing this. So let’s just […]
My 2013 All Star Ballot
A couple of years ago when Bud Selig decided to make the All-Star game ‘count’ I thought this might be a cool idea. See baseball’s biggest stars fight for which league will get home field advantage in the World Series. I can say this probably helped the Cardinals win, so I have grown used to […]
2013 Cardinals in Spring Training
Yeah I know, haven’t written a blog in a while. Haven’t heard anybody complaining or telling me that it has been missed. Things that make you go hmmmm. Let’s see what has happened with our beloved St. Louis Cardinals this spring. They got great new batting practice hats; they are going to wear red hats […]
Season’s Reflections and Post Season Preview
Well 162 games are down the drain and Major League Baseball is down to 10 teams in the playoffs. This season had a different feel for me with my beloved St. Louis Cardinals. There was some interesting high expectation and I think the Cardinals finished about where I thought they would by making it into […]
My Royals and Marlins Thoughts
I was lucky enough to go to the Friday and Saturday games of the St. Louis Cardinals sweep of the Kansas City Royals in Kansas City at Kaufmann Stadium. It is a nice park. Not sure if it’s nice enough to host an All-Star game, but they didn’t ask my opinion. On Friday night, my […]
Matheny Era is Alive and Well
If there is any doubt that the St. Louis Cardinals have moved on from Tony LaRussa to a new style with Mike Matheny, today’s move of DFAing J.C. Romero and calling up Eduardo ‘Nasty’ Sanchez proves it. Fresh off of a weekend that included honoring LaRussa by retiring his number, being swept by the Atlanta […]
My 2012 Cardinals Spring Training Preview
OK, I am not normally a blogger who reports. I tell you my opinions. If they happen to sound like a reporter, so be it. So knowing that, here is my 2012 St. Louis Cardinals Spring Training Preview. Starting Pitching – I think they are good. If and when Adam Wainwright pitches lights out again […]
The St. Louis Cardinals Are Your 2011 World Series Champions!
Let me say that I am proud of you Cardinals Nation, you rose up! 99 percent of the people I have talked to said they stayed up to watch all of game six! My body picked a terrible night to get sick. I watched the 8th inning on lying in bed with my head poking […]
Rise Up Cardinals Nation!
I have spent the last two nights with a group of friends that has included a Yankees fan. He has to be that one guy in the crowd that goes against the system. He has to be the one who wants to hold the spoon to stir the pot. He was rooting for the Texas […]
