The Cardinals begin a critical four game series late in the season against the Dodgers tonight. Currently the Dodgers are the most imminent threat to the Cardinals' playoff hopes, sitting two games behind in the wild card standings. A dominant series by the Cards could put them back even further. Tonight we will see a…
Big City brought the Cardinals back from the dead last night on a eighth inning bomb and Paul DeJong sealed the deal in the ninth to give the Cardinals a win.

Adam Wainwright gets the ball tonight in St. Louis against the Pittsburgh Pirates, his first start since May. Honestly, I wasn't expecting to see Wainwright ever start a game for the Cardinals again, and certainly not while the team is making a postseason push, no less. The very thought is equally exciting and terrifying, but…
In spite of the last six weeks, there still stands a decent chance that the Cardinals won’t make the postseason this year. That would mean three straight seasons without the playoffs, the first time that’s happened in these parts since 1997 to 1999. Those were some mediocre years. Those teams averaged 79 wins per season,…
As my mom always says, better late than never... After stumbling to drop the last two games of our homestand, losing our third consecutive series against the Reds and our first overall series since July, the Cardinals needed to get off on the right foot in Washington, D.C. against the formerly formidable Nationals. The pitching…
Normally, we post a recap to St. Louis Cardinals games on this website. For whatever reason, today's game just kind of slipped through the cracks. It's probably for the best.
The Cardinals enter play today very much in the hunt, both for the Division and the Wild Card. Going 8-2 in their last 10 games hasn't allowed the team to gain much ground, however; the Cubs have also gone 8-2, while the Brewers have gone 7-3. The Cardinals are four games back of the division…
The Cards play the Pirates in an ultimate showdown of pitchers entering the game with ERA's of 3.56. We shall see who will win tonight's ERA wars. Tonight you have O'Neill, Bader, and Martinez in the outfield, while Carpenter, Dejong, G. Garcia, and Adams line the infield. A win will keep the streak of series'…
Hey, did you hear! The Cardinals hired Mike Shildt as their full-time manager today! Now that we got that whole coach thing figured out, let's go win a ball game! Woo! Jack Flaherty is on the mound tonight and oh boy has he been hot! The Cardinals kick-off a six game homestead tonight with the…
Over the last 20 years, the Cardinals have been a very good baseball team while the Pittsburgh Pirates generally have not. This once well-known sports fact has sort of faded from consciousness because the Pirates strung together several very good seasons and a few trips to the postseason, but they finished below .500 for 20…
