Pre-game: After a four game losing streak, the Cardinals find themselves in a must-win situation. When your back is against the wall, you focus on what you can control first, which is win one game.

9/26/18 Recap: Cardinals Stumble to 2-1 Loss at Worst Possible Time
Heading into the final week of the regular season the St. Louis Cardinals had the luxury of controlling their own playoff destiny. If they simply took care of their own business in these remaining six games, they wouldn't have to worry about what anyone else did. But after two devastating losses to the Milwaukee Brewers…
Take time out of your day to hail the Lizard King–a Cardinals/Giants recap
After besting Madison Bumgarner and Dereck Rodriguez with, on paper, inferior starting pitchers on Friday and Saturday, Sunday afternoon's battle between the St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants seems like an easy win. But this is baseball, a very stupid sport, so nothing could be assured. Here were the starting lineups. https://twitter.com/SFGiants/status/1043898666795204609 https://twitter.com/Cardinals/status/1043892834141720576 I've been…
Cards Win a Nail-Biter in Extras, 5-4
Good Waino is still a thing, Tyler O'Neill is a bad, bad man.
9/19/18 Recap: Cardinals Drop Way Too Early Series Finale to Braves 7-3
Today, the St. Louis Cardinals played the Atlanta Braves in a game that began at 11:10 a.m. St. Louis time. Normally, I'm all for daytime baseball if it's on a weekend or a day when I have no prior commitments, but...today is Wednesday. I can't really watch baseball at my job, especially when the game…

Adam Wainwright impresses as Cardinals salvage final game of Dodgers series
All right, Adam Wainwright is pitching, Matt Vasgersian is announcing, and I'm admittedly not super excited about this game at all. Not gonna get drunk like during yesterday's game, but gonna be grumpy probably. Buckle up! Here are the lineups. https://twitter.com/Dodgers/status/1041435555265896449 https://twitter.com/Cardinals/status/1041446672830787584 Wainwright retired Joc Pederson (I guess in light of what happened with Vontae…
Dodgers push Cardinals out of playoff position as local recapper day-drinks his way through it all
So I wasn't originally supposed to recap this game. I was supposed to sit in my apartment, laying low and probably having my fair share of adult beverages because all I have to do today is attend a wedding this evening and I'm getting a ride for it. As it turns out, I'm recapping, but…
9/12/18 Recap: Missed Opportunities Abound for Cards in 4-3 Loss to Pirates
At this point in the year, the St. Louis Cardinals will take any series win they can find as they try to scratch and claw their way into the postseason. Taking 2 of 3 from a divisional foe is certainly better than the alternative. Still, the nature of today's 4-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates…
