Izzy To Test Free Agent Market
In a move that was no surprise, Jason Isringhausen filed for free agency Saturday. He plans to test the market to see what offers are out there after a year that saw him lose his closer job with the Cardinals. He "lost" the magic that had made him the franchise saves leader for St. Louis, and was relegated to spot appearances the final months of the season. His days...

Possible September Callups
With September right around the corner and the Cardinals trying to claw their way into the Wild Card, next week's roster expansions couldn't come at a better time. The Cardinals have several young prospects that could help us big in September. Many of them have already had stints with the parent club this summer, while others might be getting their first taste of big league...

Adam Wainwright: Rotation or Bullpen?
As I sit perched in the press box at Autozone Park, I could easily write about Adam Wainwright and his difficult and brief rehab outing for the Memphis Redbirds.? But it doesn't matter.? Adam Wainwright will be fine.? The guy is a stud and my time would be better spent discussing just how Wainwright will fit into the mix when he does return to St. Louis.
If you are a Cardinals...

Carpenter Makes Start For Memphis
Ok guys, let's play jeopardy.? The answer is 11.? What is the question?
No, it isn't Anthony Reyes' pitch count after one batter.? And it isn't the number of World Series Championships we SHOULD have if the 1985 "incidient" had been called correctly.? It is the number of pitches that Chris Carpenter used to strike out the side in the first inning Friday...

Cards Use Longballs To Beat Red Sox
Game # 75 Fri. June 20, 2008
Cardinals 5 Red Sox 4
Ahh, the St. Louis Cardinals and the Boston Red Sox, my two favorite teams. I have always been a huge Cardinals fan, but have also always rooted for the Red Sox. In 2004, while I hated to lose the World Series, I was happy that if we weren't going to win, that Boston did. There is so much class and tradition in...

Rehab Report: Mulder, Clement Struggle In Memphis
The Cardinals have definitely faced their fair share of adversity when it comes to their starting pitchers this season.? But considering all the injuries, the starting rotation has done remarkably well in my opinion.? Two guys that have yet to even be on the pitching staff this season are Mark Mulder and Matt Clement, both of whom are in minor league rehab assignments in an effort...

Cards Swept By Royals
Game # 74?? Thur. June 19, 2008
Royals 4??? Cardinals 1
Well, I am about to type a sentence I never thought I would.? The Kansas City Royals swept the St. Louis Cardinals in a three game series this week.? And they deserved to.? They just flat out beat us (unlike 1985 when we were robbed of a World Title by Don Deckinger).? Their pitching was incredible and the Pujols-less...

Gotta Feel Bad For Braden Looper
Game # 73?? Wed. June 18, 2008
Royals? 3?? Cardinals 2
The Royals took the series, winning for the second day in a row against the Cardinals in St. Louis.? You couldn't have asked for a better effort from Braden Looper, who went 7 innings and allowed only 1 run.? And you also can't be too disappointed in the Cardinals' 11 hits (11 for 34, .324BA).? The Royals...

Gotta Feel Bad For Joel Pineiro
Game # 72?? Tue. June 17, 2008
Royals 2??? Cardinals 1
Joel Pineiro extended his winless streak to 6 games, but through no fault of his own.? He was phenomenal, allowing only 1 run in 7 innings of work.? It was an old fashioned pitcher's duel.? It was a 1-1 deadlock until the Royals went yard off Ron Villone in the 8th inning.? Here is my analysis of the game:
Performance...

I Told You So Tony...Play Skip EVERY day!
Game # 64 Sat. June 7, 2008
Cardinals 8 Astros 4
A good day for me is defined by a Cardinals win and a Cubs loss. Well not only was today a good day, but I got the pleasure of seeing Carlos Zambrano get schooled by the Dodgers, then lose his temper as usual. I love it... Now, on to the Cardinals.
Friday the Cardinals were shut down by Houston. But who can blame them...

Cards Like Draft Class of 2008
The St. Louis Cardinals picked up 51 players in Thursday's amateur draft, 27 pitchers and 24 position players. Here is a little info on the top 5 picks:
1. Brett Wallace 1B/3B Arizona State (13th overall pick) - Known as one of the top hitters in this year's draft, the Cardinals jumped at the chance to snag this PAC-10 Triple Crown winner, who is projected to...

Cardinals Press Delete And Move On
Game # 63 Fri. June 6, 2008
Astros 4 Cardinals 1
Joe Mather said it best when he said that games like Friday are games where you just press delete and move on. Friday night was not the Cardinals night at all. They were held to 4 hits, 2 by Skip Schumaker and 2 by Adam Kennedy. Still there were some positves from the loss. Mitchell Boggs made his much anticipated Major...

Let's Play Two! Cards & Nats Split Doubleheader

Game 1: Cards 4 Nationals 1
Todd Wellemeyer started the first game of Thursday's doubleheader and picked up right where he left off. He has just been phenomenal this season. Thursday afternoon, he tossed 6 innings of shutout baseball, allowing 5 hits and striking out 5 as well. Starting at 1st base for the first time in...

No Game On A Wet Wednesday
Wed. June 4, 2008
Tonight's game in D.C. was postponed due to rain.? Tomorrow the Cardinals and Nationals will play a double header.? Tomorrow is also the day of the draft, so we should have plenty to talk about.? And maybe with two games tomorrow, the Nationals can have 30,000 fans show up (that is, if they add both attendance figures together).
Todd Wellemeyer gets the...

Molina Sends Cards To Win On A Wet Night In D.C.
Game # 60?? Tue. June 3, 2008
Cardinals 6??? Nationals 1
The Cardinals first trip to Nationals Park saw a rain delay that was longer than the actual game.? It was a long, frustrating, wet night in the nation's capital, but in the end the Cardinals ended up with a win.? Yadier Molina popped a three run shot in the first inning as the Cards put six runs on the board before...
