Danys Baez on the Mound vs. the Cardinals...

In a similar move to what many MLB teams have done in the wake of St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Josh Hancock death, the NFL went a step further by baning alcohol for all team functions. As with the steroid issue, the NFL comes out stronger and with more intent than the MLB. Where Bud Selig sees this as a team by team matter, first year NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has made this...

A look at the top five stories for the surprise 2006 World Series winners, the St. Louis Cardinals.

I didn't get a chance to write about the Mike Maroth trade because I had one of those busy summer weekends (family cookout, birthday party, bonfire) that kept me away from the computer. I won't write a lot about Maroth because it's already been covered by all the other Detroit blogs but I would like to add a couple of things. Even though Maroth was easily our worst starter...

A day after a lackluster Grapefruit League debut, the Baltimore Orioles bats woke up and beat the St. Louis Cardinals down in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, 11-3. The star of the game was Scott Moore who was a perfect two-for-two at plate and also hit a three-run homer in the sixth inning to pad ...

The Skinny: Stephen Drew went 5 for 5, including hitting for the cycle as the D-Backs rallied from a 5-1 deficit to defeat the St. Louis Cardinals 8-6 in a wild game that featured 8 home runs at Chase Field. Drew became the first Diamondback ever to hit for the cycle at Chase Field/Bank [...]

Courtesy of Camden Chat, let?s all join in and wish happy birthday to ?Steady? Eddie Murray, whose hair will be a monument for generations to come. Literally. Share and Enjoy:

This week's winner of the Douchebag of the Week Award was really tough to pick. We thought about Andy Roddick because of his lame "it was the Big Mac's fault excuse" but we gave him a pass. Ruslan Chagaev also got some consideration for backing out of his October heavyweight title unification bout with Sultan Ibragimov, allowing Evander Holyfield to take his place...

The Mets have added yet another arm, according to the New York Post, to compete for the final spot in the bullpen in Ron Villone. The 39 year old, Villone, must take a physical in order for his minor league deal to become official. The move is somewhat questionable, due to Villone?s apparent link to performance enhancing drugs. This move will probably prompt a negative media reaction...

A friend of mine (my former officemate) sent me a link to this article yesterday: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/stewart_mandel/01/22/cardinals-bcs/index.html ... and ?defied? anyone to challenge the logic in it. This is my reply, which grew long enough that I decided to post it at here given the wait for meaningful news, the recent discussions of playoff parity...

Dave Bush desperately needed a good start against the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night in order to state his case to remain in the rotation once Yovani Gallardo comes off the disabled list this weekend. Bush got his first quality start of the season against the Cards, but it wasn't enough and the Cardinals downed the Brewers, 6-1. Bush fell to 0-3 on the season but pitched...

Quite possibly! We've all been wondering who are the remaining 103 names on the steroid list that A-Rod was found on. Names are being thrown around left and right, including St. Louis Cardinals first baseman, Albert Pujols and former Mets catcher, Mike Piazza. Here's a name that I never really thought about, but is being mentioned: Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez. There's an article done...

UPDATE FROM THE BALLPARK: According to the Braves Media Relations Guru, Brad Hainje, after the end of the game tonight with the St. Louis Cardinals, both doctors that were consulted ((Andrews and Lewis Yocum in LA)) agree that surgery was "likely..."

Earlier in the week, the San Diego Padres continued purging their roster by sending shortstop Khalil Greene to the St. Louis Cardinals for reliever Mark Worrell and a player to be named later. Let's look at how this trade affects the fantasy value of Greene.For the most part, any time an ...

The Baltimore Orioles lost to the Florida Marlins, 3-2, down in Jupiter, Florida; however, the story of the day had nothing to do with the game, but with the amazing work of Koji Uehara in his first appearance on the mound stateside. Uehara went two solid innings, gave up a hit and struck out three. According to what I heard on the radio broadcast, his control was excellent, and...

Jeremy Guthrie finally appeared on the mound for the 2009 Baltimore Orioles this spring and had a good afternoon as the Baltimore Orioles downed the Florida Marlins, 4-2. Aubrey Huff was perfect at the plate, going 3-for-3 with three runs driven in, and Nick Markakis had two hits, both doubles. ...
