Carlos Beltran does big games, well, BIG.Grand slams, multi-home run games, 6 RBI games. These are dream days for most MLB batters. Mr. Beltran seems to be pumping out one a week.In an effort to piggy back on better writers, let's head over to Twitter and see what people are saying about the Carlos...Bob is one of the most poetic men on Twitter. Seriously, you should follow him if you don't already. No one does bitter like a Mets fan. The longer this season from hell that Pujols is having keeps dragging on, the more I'm not convinced this really isn't Pujols.Baseball card guy is already out trying to make a buck off a big game? Raise your hand if you're surprised. Oh Sebek. Our thoughts exactly.

The first five Cardinals in the order again go deep

Monday night’s series opener for the St. Louis Cardinals in Arizona had a little bit of everything, from a strong starting pitching performance from Lance Lynn, to an awful bullpen outing from J.C. Romero. The real story of the game for me was the back-to-back home runs hit by Allen Craig and David Freese in the top of the seventh inning. That gave the Cardinals important breathing...

Interview with Cardinals Hall of Fame shortstop Ozzie Smith

Does Ozzie Smith really require an introduction? The Hall of Famer is simply one of the best players to ever don a St. Louis Cardinals uniform as he did as a player with the club from 1982 through 1996. In fact, back in 2007, we ranked “The Wizard” as the fifth-greatest Redbirds player of all time, after only Stan Musial, Bob Gibson, Lou Brock and Rogers Hornsby. (Many more details...

Beltran's 2 HRs, 6 RBIs lead St. Louis over Arizona

PHOENIX (AP) -- Carlos Beltran homered in his first two at-bats, including a grand slam, matching his career high with six RBIs, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat Arizona 6-1 on Tuesday night, handing the Diamondbacks their fourth loss in a row. Beltran, who had one of the Cardinals' five homers in their 9-6 series-opening win on Monday, hit a two-run homer off Ian Kennedy in...

Cards' Matt Carpenter replaces Berkman

HOUSTON The link between folklore and fandom is intrinsic, with the blend of exaggeration and admiration yielding tales that supersede life. Cardinals rookie infielder Matt Carpenter doesn't wear batting gloves. That he is something of a novelty in that regard has made him a fan favorite in St. Louis, a city where hardnosed baseball players are revered and lauded for as long...

Matheny's early hook for Lohse works out perfectly

Cardinals manager Mike Matheny, facing a difficult decision in the top of the sixth inning in a tie game at Arizona on Wednesday night, had it made a little easier for him when he considered starter Kyle Lohse's tight hamstring. Catcher Tony Cruz, relieving Yadier Molina for a night while Molina rested a bruised left hand, singled to keep the inning alive and give the Cardinals...

Lynn continues impressive start in the desert

The Cardinals staked right-hander Lance Lynn to a 7-0 lead after four at-bats and Lynn scored his sixth straight victory, becoming the first Cardinals starter to win his first six starts since Bob Tewksbury in 1994. But there were some twists and turns along the way before the Cardinals posted a 9-6 win at Arizona. First, though he allowed no runs, Lynn was not as sharp as he had...

Beltran, Westbrook lead Cards to Arizona win

Tuesday night featured two home runs from Carlos Beltran and another good start from Jake Westbrook as the Cardinals beat the Diamondbacks again.

Greene's performance matches expectations

Second baseman Tyler Greene showed all those offensive skills Sunday that have labeled him still a prospect although he more often than not has been suspect at the big-league level. Greene, mostly a reserve who was starting at second base against Houston LHP J.A. Happ, clubbed two homers and a double and drove in four runs as he bumped his average to .256. He stole one base and...

Legend of Lance Lynn growing

Yesterday's game between the St. Louis Cardinals and Arizona Diamondbacks did little to dampen the charmed season of Cardinal hurler, Lance Lynn. Lynn--who was supposed to be in the bullpen this season but ended up in the rotation when Chris Carpenter went down--has now made six starts and has won them all. Last night's might have been his most fortuitous. But at the same...

Miley looks to help D-backs end losing streak

After enduring a bit of a slump, the St. Louis Cardinals appear to have it going again at the plate. Coming off another big offensive effort, the Cardinals look for a fourth straight victory to complete their first road sweep of the struggling Arizona Diamondbacks in eight years Wednesday night. St. Louis (19-11) has totaled 23 runs and 32 hits during its current three-game winning...

Catchers are everyone’s favorites

Chicks may dig the long-ball, but everyone loves catchers. Last Saturday at Busch Stadium against Milwaukee, the St. Louis Cardinals honored Yadier Molina for his fourth consecutive Rawlings Gold Glove award, making him perhaps the greatest catcher in Cardinals history. The Cardinals’ faithful stood up and applauded their favorite player during this pregame ceremony. There were...
