Guess what former Cardinals castoff has joined the world of Twitter?  No no, not Ryan Franklin.  We said “former” and besides, Ryan Franklin ended his bout with Twitter after an “incident“. It’s Mark Mulder. Tremendous insight, there. Regardless, Dan Haren is not on Twitter.  Neither is Daric Barton.  Who the hell knows what Kiko Calero [...]

Previous Entries: “Cup stacker” More definitions coming soon.  Give us a break, this tremendously hilarious yet overwhelmingly intelligent feature is still an infant. —–  

Last night’s bullpen blowup was so atrocious that we elect not even to talk about it this morning.  Instead of rehashing it pitch-by-pitch we’ll just soak it in and continue to cringe every time Trever Miller, Jason Motte, Maikel Cleto or Miguel Batista enters a game. Our suprise was not the performances, as each of [...]

Apparently lying to your customer costs $5.4 million these days. That’s the sum Rams linebacker David Vobora was awarded in a lawsuit against S.W.A.T.S. for misrepresenting performance enhancement products he used that ultimately landed him on the NFL suspension list in 2009 after he tested positive for an illegal substance. S.W.A.T.S. played a few unsuccessful [...]

We’ve talked about it ad nauseum: St. Louis loves scrappiness. Thus, it came as no surprise when were notified that STLToday.com’s “Pet of the Week” is named “Scrappy”.  Scrappy is a four-year old cat who has white fur.  Well, yeah.  Now, if that cat was the same size, but had black hair, it would be [...]

Wednesday — June 22 Kurt Warner turns the bigs 40.  To be perfectly honest, if you asked me how old Kurt Warner was, I would have thought he turned 40 like three years ago.  Regardless of age, there aren’t many athletes in this town who have been so captivating that they’ve inspired a mural at [...]

Our fan hunters know no bounds. They permeate across Busch Stadium and beyond.  And yes, even in Washington DC where fans of any allegiance are few and far between.  One such fan hunter submitted the following shot from last night’s Cards/Nats game via Twitter. This violates about 39 different jersey rules, but frankly, I don’t [...]

It’s been over a quarter century since a Royals-Cardinals game really meant anything. These days the only difference between playing the Royals or playing the Pirates is geographical proximity and the fact that the Pittsburgh newspapers don’t write spoof columns about the other city (very creative, Sam Mellinger) But even with that said, both sides [...]

When it comes to bizarre Major Leage Baseball merchandise that we’ve featured on this site, one of our favorites remains the increasingly hard to understand sleeve of fake tattoos featuring the Cardinals team logo. I get the team loyalty. I’m a lifelong fan, millions of others throughout the country can boast the same.  The majority [...]

For whatever reason, young players that have come through the Cardinals organization have helped to define new uniform trends on the Big League club.  Over the past few seasons, we’ve seen a tremendous amount of stirrups and flat-billed hats come up from Memphis. While some players adopted and abandoned the trend numerous times throughout their [...]
