Holiday game starts later than normal because reasons–a 7/4 recap
Happy Independence Day, fine St. Louis Bullpen readers! It is a federal holiday and most of you probably got the day off work today, and as such, Major League Baseball scheduled a ton of games during the day. It's like a Sunday, so games were played earlier than normal. Excecpt, for some reason, in Arizona,…
*Yaaaawwwwn* Cardinals fall to the Diamondbacks – a 7/3 recap
Jack Flaherty versus Zach Greinke tonight in the desert in what should be a battle of the pitchers. Jose Martinez is in right field tonight which is an interesting move but one that probably needs to be made. Should be a fun night of Cardinals baseball from Phoenix! https://twitter.com/Cardinals/status/1014290221834428416 https://twitter.com/Dbacks/status/1014252309763665920 Matt Carpenter leads off the…
7/1 recap: Cardinals lose to Braves by less than Friday or Saturday so hey there’s that
Come on, guys, win a game. Just one stupid game. Recapping games is more fun when I'm not just writing "hey, the Cardinals struck out again" over and over. Or maybe it's more fun for you guys when I just lose my mind over mid-season baseball games, I'm not sure, but it's not as fun…
Stupid baseball game enjoyed by Braves fans, presumably–a 6/30 recap
Hi folks. For a while I was considering going down to Busch Stadium for tonight's game between the Atlanta Braves and St. Louis Cardinals because of the following factors: The Carlos Martinez mystery hair bobblehead. I ended up not attending because of the following factors: The heat index when the game started was well…
6/27/18 Recap: Cardinals Fall to Indians in Series Finale
Monday's game between the St. Louis Cardinals and Cleveland Indians was stalled by about a 90 minute rain delay. When the weather cleared out, the Cardinals rode a one-hitter from John Gant (no idea) to a 4-0 win. Another wave of showers pushed back the start of Tuesday's game, and once that delay was over,…
Carpenter, Cardinals’ offense explodes in blowout of Tribe- a 6/26 recap
After an hour and half rain delay, the Cardinals and Indians get things going. Carlos Martinez vs. Corey Kluber in what should be a battle of two of baseball best pitchers.

6/23/2018: Yadi’s Two Bombs give Cards a 3-2 win
I'm not sure this game will top the finish I just saw at the World Cup. Playing with 10 men, Germany scored on a set piece in the 95th minute to beat Sweden 2-1. It's nice to have soccer to take my mind off the slumping Cards lately. This afternoon, it's Chase Anderson vs. Miles Mikolas. His…

Cardinals strike out a billion times, Phillies win in the stupidest possible fashion
Hey guys, John again. Last night's game was fun so hopefully I can carry the extremely short hot streak into a new series, this time against the Philadelphia Phillies.
