Viva El Danup
Are you like me? Have you not edited your RSS feeds since 2004, or whenever it was you first discovered RSS? If that’s the case–for that is the only reason, I would imagine, that you would have GUB and not Viva El Birdos in your RSS folder–then you will be pleased (maybe) to know that I am now blogging over there no fewer than three times a week, which hasn’...

Good luck with that, buddy
Kennedy to Cardinals: Play me or trade me.
Well, alright. Look, I–let me pull it up. Yeah, I was on the record as stating that the Adam Kennedy signing was a great deal (additional pullquote: “… with Blake Hawksworth and Chris Narveson pretty close to the majors…”), but from every port but the Kennedy Compound that ship has sailed. Since he’s joined...

Top Seven
I’m always late to the party. Derrick Goold and the UCB (I can’t see that without thinking Upright Citizens Brigade) have already done their Top Seven blogs, and they’re all well thought out. That means there’s room, in the market, for one that’s not well thought out–and that’s where I come in.
A lot has changed since I started this blog...

The Silver Machine
The internet hive-mind strikes again: apparently The Machine is not quite a phantom nickname so much as an abandoned one. Commenter Dave Newman suggests that, according to This Week in Baseball, the rest of the Cardinals began calling him by that name at some point; zip goes even further, mentioning that a The Machine poster also exists. (It’s not on eBay now, but according...

Glaused Over, pt. 2
As promised–as promised late, even–a look at how players with less of a reputation for inconsistency perform when subjected to the arbitrary measure of removing their five best calendar weeks. Here is what we have, from Troy Glaus, to measure by. Glaus’s 740 OPS is just 62% of his 1203 OPS in his best weeks. We’re going to look at the percentages of Albert...

Glaused Over
At the Cardinals game last night (eww) I was surprised to hear continued criticism, from the people in the stands, leveled at Troy Glaus. Wait–given the game, it’s prohbably best to say that I was surprised to hear criticism leveled specifically at Troy Glaus. After all, his OPS is a typically Glaus-ian .854, he’s playing defense that exceeded my wildest expectations...

Fearless Carpenter Prediction
Five innings, two runs, four strikeouts, three walks. How, you ask, do I make such predictions? Science.

Anthony Reyes Traded
It’s fitting: on a day in which Dan Haren leads the National League in ERA, the Cardinals have traded Anthony Reyes. The haul is a minor league righty reliever, old for his levels, who will have to get in line behind Mark Worrell, Jason Motte, and, if La Russa gets his way, Kelvin Jimenez, but it’s really irrelevant: the story here is that the Cardinals have, for two...
