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 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 [...]
