If you would have told me last year that St. Louis Cardinals fans have largely rallied behind one side of the table regarding the Albert Pujols extension talks, I would have bet a custom #5 jersey that it wouldn’t have been on Bill DeWitt’s side.  But as the fictional “deadline” passes without a deal being agreed [...]

To be fair, the Blues, Mizzou and SLU all suck right now. That’s 22 mentions, for those counting at home. —– email: matt@joesportsfan.com tweet: @MattSebek

My cohort Matt Sebek first brought to our attention the Nike ‘Hair-itage’ themed t-shirts that included the unmistakable silhouette of Ozzie Smith’s beard/afro combo from the early 80′s.  And while we personally felt that the obvious addition to the Cardinals roster of shirts might be someone with a famous ‘stache like Al Hrabosky or Danny Cox, [...]

The magnificent Derrick Goold over at the Post-Dispatch has been using the grandiose “Albertageddon” title to describe the Albert Pujols contract saga.  The description has caught on in St. Louis, especially on Twitter. It reached a new level on Sunday night when USAToday used the word in a column. For us, it was a cue [...]

We found out this week that, for as much scrap as the Cardinals added this year in Ryan Theriot and Nick Punto, there was also a trade-off. As GM John Mozeliak flirted with the league limit of short white middle infielders, the decision was made to cut ties with Aaron Miles. To honor his contributions [...]

Like most teams around the country, the Cardinals are searching for more and more ways to leverage their facilities during the baseball off-season.  Truth be told, it’s a worthwhile endeavor since the Busch Stadium sits dormant for nearly six months of the calendar year. While filling the stadium with 40,000 inebriated baseball fans during January [...]

If ever there is a game between rivals where a fan of the road team goes into it about 98% sure their team will lose, it’s Mizzou-Kansas.  Over the past three seasons, including one in which the Tigers were one step short of the Final Four, the average margin of victory for the Jayhawks was [...]

When it comes to the timeless art of mocking the Cubs and their futility, it’s become apparent that Cardinals fans are simply better at it than their counterparts in South Chicago.  As Cardinals faithful have demonstrated on more than one occasion, we have a thorough understanding of the logistics necessary to create snow art across [...]

If you haven’t heard yet, the Cardinals signed Jim Edmonds.  No, seriously.  It’s a minor-league deal at this point, but everyone knows damn well he’ll be on the Opening Day roster.  Why? Tony La Russa. La Russa and Edmonds made nice last season.  La Russa likes veterans.  He also likes drama and Jim Edmonds is [...]

With Wednesday’s brutal, hard-to-watch loss at Oklahoma State, Mizzou fell to 3-4 in the Big 12 after starting the season 14-1. For now they still hold the #15 spot in the rankings but that will be a thing of the past if they drop Saturday’s home game against the same Colorado team that spanked them [...]
