Relive Another Piece of Cardinals History

The Cardinals are World Champs and while I’m waiting for the 2011 World Series set to come out, I was happy to see that the Cardinals made the cut with another great game in the Baseball Greatest Games set.  In 1985, the Cardinals played the Dodgers in the NLCS and after going down two games [...]

Cardinals Shut Out Astros, Clinch Wild Card Spot

Five Games to Make Up

It’s a drag when the Cardinals when seven out of ten, but still lose ground to the red hot Brewers.  As it stands, the Cardinals have to make up five games in the final month and a half.  The Wild Card is in play, but it’s just as far out of reach because the Braves [...]

Cardinals Sit Atop the Central

Thanks to a Reds losing streak and some solid baseball, the Cardinals sit atop the NL Central with a 2 1/2 game lead.  This team had some big time question marks once Adam Wainwright went down and with a guy like Chris Carpenter struggling it’s nice to see this team didn’t fall off of a [...]

Cardinals Cling to First Place In Tight NL Central

Record wise, the Cardinals are in a tie for first place with the Reds and the Brewers are just a half game back of that.  Of course when you’re only a game over .500, there’s not a whole lot to brag about either but a lead is a lead and right now, 12-11 is good [...]

Yes, for a lot of people he’s our favorite player but at this point,Albert Pujols is putting the Cardinals in a bind.  The team will sign him to a big extension but until we know how much that’s going to be, the team has no cost certainty.  So we can’t let him go, but at [...]
