John Mozeliak got the proverbial last laugh in late October with the team’s eleventh World Series title and his first as a general manager. The Philadelphia Phillies and Cleveland Indians made “blockbuster” trades. Phillies G.M. Ruben [...]

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Nearly eight years to the day since he was traded out of town, outfielder Carlos Beltran returned to Kauffman Stadium for the first time Friday.
And while the stadium hardly looks the same and nearly nobody except a few stadium security guards look familiar to him, the memories of his first six-plus years in the big leagues remain strong.

As the slump goes on, the dot continues to get bigger.

ST. LOUIS - Jake Westbrook's first complete game in more than two years Wednesday night did more than give the Cardinals a much needed win. It continued a trend of solid starting pitching that they hope is a sign of things to come.
Westbrook allowed just one unearned run on five hits and a walk, working through the Detroit Tigers lineup with relative ease in a 3-1 Cardinals...

Beltran returns to Kansas City for the first time Friday night when the St. Louis Cardinals open a three-game series against the Royals.

A lot of great stories have been written this week in remembrance of ten years since the passing of Jack Buck and Darryl Kile. Here is my attempt to pay them homage and honor these two great men, as well as the 2002 St. Louis Cardinals that fought on bravely the rest of that season.
