CARDINALS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Struggling Greene enjoys "great day"
ST. LOUIS There haven't been too many days like this for Tyler Greene. Only two all season, in fact.
Stuck in a prolonged slump that has caused some restless fans in Cardinal Nation to wonder whether or not he would ever show his potential in St. Louis, Greene quieted the masses. At least for a day.
Greene went 3-for-3 with a single, double, triple, walk and scored a run to...

A progression of Cardinals left-handed relievers
In the 17 years since Tony La Russa first arrived in St. Louis, the Cardinals employed at least two left-handed relievers to open the season in every year except one. In 1998, Lance Painter was the sole lefty in the pen, but the club knew what they had in him, as he was a holdover from the previous season.
In three years, including as recently as 2005, three of the team’s seven...

Should #5 be retired alongside #10?
The indisputable highlight of an otherwise forgettable weekend for the St. Louis Cardinals was the Friday night ceremony to retire Tony La Russa’s number 10.
I thought the Cardinals did a good job in organizing and executing the pre-game festivities. Still, I have carried this nagging question about the timing of the event itself.
There is a reason the National Baseball Hall of...

On this day in Cardinals history: May 13, 1958
St. Louis Cardinals star Stan Musial collected his 3,000th hit 54 years ago today, on May 13, 1958, at Chicago’s Wrigley Field.
The future Hall of Famer had been left out of manager Fred Hutchinson’s lineup so he could achieve the milestone at home in the next series. However, with the Cubs up 3-1 in the sixth inning and a runner in scoring position, Hutch sent Musial up...

Lance Berkman believes that the Cardinals “have not lost anything” by replacing Albert Pujols with Carlos Beltran
Make no mistake about it, the Cardinals seem to be adapting well to life after Albert Pujols. Obviously much better than the Angels are adapting to life with Pujols.
Predictably, people want to know just how the Cardinals are continuing to contend in the National League after losing arguably the best player in baseball. So Lance Berkman took it upon himself to let us all in on why...
