While you were sleeping/drinking, the Cardinals rolled the dice on a truly unique prep player.
Meet Trejyn Fletcher, the Cardinals’ Most Interesting Draft Pick Ever
Genesis Cabrera is starting tonight for the Cardinals. Huh.
Do you remember October 10, 1996? On that day, the St. Louis Cardinals evened their National League Championship Series tilt against the Atlanta Braves at one game apiece. A huge seventh inning, capped off by a Gary Gaetti grand slam, allowed the Cardinals to defeat Greg Maddux (!!!) on the strength of a strong start…
The first championship
One strange element of St. Louis Cardinals fandom, to me, is pointing out how the team has won 11 World Series championships. There is, of course, the "we won 11 rings!" obnoxiousness, which implies that I, a fan, had anything to do with such jewelry acquisitions, but additionally silly is that I, and most Cardinals…
The Cardinals should send the Blues a nice bouquet of flowers for distracting St. Louis
The St. Louis Cardinals are 25-24, and while most baseball markets would dream for a .510 winning percentage to be considered a devastating step back, St. Louis has certainly seen better from the Cardinals. The start to the season is made especially more disappointing given how much confidence there was in the Cardinals to start…
Paul DeJong is the best shortstop in the National League
Fernando Tatis Jr. is very good and is probably soon going to be the best shortstop in the National League for the next decade, as long as he remains in the National League. The 20 year-old San Diego Padres phenom entered Major League Baseball this season with extremely high expectations and a consensus top-three prospect…
Ranking Pat Maroon among the greatest St. Louis Cardinals postseason moments
In the mid-2000s, a teenager from Oakville High School in suburban St. Louis had a dream. While some disputed his long-term athletic upside, he imagined a future in which he would guide the St. Louis Blues, the preferred hockey team of his youth, to postseason glory. And no moment has more tension parlayed into more…
It’s time we talk about Jim Lindeman
On April 11, 2019, attempting to complete a four-game sweep, the Cardinals took the field for an afternoon game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Scheduled to head to Monterrey, Mexico, that evening, the Cardinals trotted out their getaway lineup, with José MartÃnez, Tyler O'Neill, Jedd Gyorko, and Matt Wieters filling in for their regular counterparts.…
If Wrigley Field isn’t a dump, why is Addison Russell eventually going to be sent there?
Four years ago, everything was looking up for the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs, who in 2014 had won just 73 games, improved by 24 games in 2015. While their 97-win season was only good enough to finish in third place in the National League Central, the Cubs vanquished the 98-win, second-place Pittsburgh Pirates in the…
Is Dexter Fowler playing center field going to be an actual thing?
Former St. Louis Cardinals outfielders Peter Bourjos and Jon Jay were teammates in St. Louis for a grand total of 740 days, but for those of us who spent that duration far too deeply immersed in the depths of Cardinals Twitter, it felt like they were teammates for 740 years. The center fielders were the…
The origin story of Marcell Ozuna, slugging superhero
There is a fairly high probability that this morning, many of you are very tired. The main cause of this extreme fatigue, if I know the demographics of this site, is those of you who stayed up late to watch the St. Louis Blues, whose first game of the Western Conference Semifinals inexplicably began at…
