Over the course of baseball history, a few common words are commonly used to describe the St. Louis Cardinals organization. Heart, passion, tradition. While the likes of Stan Musial, Bob Gibson, Ozzie Smith and Albert Pujols laid the foundation for this prestigious representation, a cornucopia of less-fortunate individuals have sculpted an adjective that has become [...]

When the Rams called the name Robert Quinn with the 14th pick of last night’s draft, a guy pretending to be the same Robert Quinn wasted no time hopping on his fake Twitter account and letting Rams fans know that he is pumped that the guy he is pretending to be just joined the squad…  And while the [...]

During ESPN’s weekly “Sunday Night Baseball” telecast, John Kruk hosts a recurring pre-game segment called, “The Best Seat in the House”. With ESPN in town for Sunday’s Cardinals/Reds contest, Kruk searched long and hard for the best seat Busch Stadium has to offer. Green seats?  Batter’s eye club?  The Coca Cola patio? Nope.   Big Mac [...]

If you thought we were going to sit back and allow some Cincinnati Reds fan to trump us this weekend, you’re crazy. Here’s the rundown: we post a Mike Leake t-shirt and said Reds fan responds by whipping up similar threads that mock Tony La Russa’s DUI from 2007.  The response is featured on the [...]

Tuesday night in the 4th inning, Lance Berkman stepped to the plate with runners on and smoked a line drive up the middle scoring Matt Holliday and giving the Cardinals a 2-1 lead.  With his sharp analytic eye, Al Hrabosky elaborated on his theory as to why it is that Berkman is such a valued [...]

Rightfully so, we’ve mocked the Cardinals’ infamous “Sign Guy” for wearing personalized jerseys that portray an individual calendar year.  It’s wasteful and attention-grabbing.  And not funny.  Then again, neither are his 5-foot, pun-laced posterboards. Nevertheless, the gentleman below has him beat in the category of “wasteful jersey threads”. This jersey is worthwhile for one day [...]

When it comes to abstract murals of famous local athletes on the walls of St. Louis area Mexican restaurants, I think we’ve demonstrated that El Agave in Crestwood dominates this somewhat unique category.  Their version of Albert Pujols contained a touch of Brian Jordan, a splash of 1989 Pedro Guerrero and, lets face it, could [...]

The Cardinals return home tonight after a long road trip along the West Coast.  Three games against the Washington Nationals and three games against the Cincinnati Reds, which should prove to be a circus of epic proportions. To celebrate the first home baseball since Opening Day weekend, we present this: Best fans in baseball.

What do you get when you mix Matt Holliday with Jason Motte? Matt Motte, of course.  It rolls right off the tongue. Not pictured: big blue ox. —–

In case you aren’t on the Cardinals e-mail list, you may not know that this week marks the beginning of the second annual “Green Week” at Busch Stadium.  The events are in conjunction with Earth Day and include e-cycling of unwanted electronics and a week-long shoe drive amongst others.  They have a snazzy banner graphic letting fans [...]
