Whitey Herzog: 1931-2024
Whitey Herzog: A man of innovation, a man of his time
A Review: “Hey Y’all”, the debut album from Adam Wainwright
Yesterday, for the first time since 2005, Adam Wainwright was not donning a St. Louis Cardinals uniform at the Cardinals' home opener. After nearly two decades in St. Louis, the native Georgian has moved from his Hall of Very Good career as a Major League Baseball pitcher to new work, one a relatively conventional post-playing…
it is with a heavy heart that i must announce that Victor Scott shouldn’t make the opening day roster
There is a relatively early episode of Family Guy (based on the fact that I have seen and remember it) where the Griffin family is offered one of two gifts (I think for sitting through a timeshare presentation? I promise I'm not trying to seem too cool for Family Guy, a show that had plenty…
How Brandon Crawford could solidify Oli Marmol as the new Matheny
The acquisition of Brandon Crawford by the St. Louis Cardinals is simultaneously the funniest possible transaction and a completely defensible one. Acquiring a thirty-seven year-old, a fifth acquisition this off-season of a player who was born in the 1980s, is a deeply funny way of leaning into their own bit, and bringing in a guy…
The Cardinals signed Matt Carpenter? *THAT* Matt Carpenter?

Nick Saban, Bill Belichick, the St. Louis Cardinals, and the importance of adaptation

These are not stories related to the St. Louis…

The St. Louis Cardinals had a mediocre starting rotation in 2023 and four of the six pitchers who started the most games for the team last season were no longer on the team by the time free agency started--Jack Flaherty and Jordan Montgomery were dealt at the trade deadline, Adam Wainwright retired, and Dakota Hudson…
The Lance Lynn deal is history repeating more than you might think
The last two years have been an endless stream of nostalgia for St. Louis baseball fans. Both with the return of Albert Pujols and saying goodbye to Yadier Molina and Adam Wainwright, memories of happier seasons than a 71-91 have permeated throughout the Busch Stadium air. This morning, the Cardinals signed Lance Lynn, who pitched…
FANFIC: A conversation between John Mozeliak and CAA’s Jeff Berry about Shohei Ohtani
Convincing Shohei Ohtani to sign in St. Louis may not be easy, but you can't do it unless you try it.
The ones that got away
The thing that really stands out when one watches highlights of José Adolis GarcÃa, as he was known at the time, during his time as a St. Louis Cardinal, besides the fact that he tripped rounding third base and the Cardinals were eliminated from playoff contention by the Milwaukee Brewers because there is only one…
