Swing and Miss

The Cardinal lineup has been inconsistent to say the least this season. A big reason is the alarming climb in strikeouts. The team has gone down on strikes 146 times in 637 at-bats. The strikeout total ranks fifth-to-last in the league. Players such as Yadier Molina and Albert Pujols are striking out at unprecedented rates. [...]

Lohse Struggling

While the majority of the St. Louis Cardinals rotation has been lights out, the exception has been Kyle Lohse. Chris Carpenter has the next highest ERA of 3.60. The team as a whole has a remarkable 2.72 mark. Lohse sits at 7.31. He has not been the victim of bad breaks. In his last start [...]

Bryan Anderson’s First Start

Bryan Anderson is being given his first major league start for the St. Louis Cardinals tonight against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The recent call-up from AAA is 0-2 in two pinch hit opportunities so far. Anderson is in the majors with regular backup catcher Jason LaRue on the DL. Anderson will spell Yadier Molina who caught [...]

Brendan Ryan Hitting Again

Brendan Ryan is a heck of a defensive player. Many made the case for him to win a gold glove last season. While his glove has been solid this season again, his start with the bat was not so golden. After hitting .080, 2-25, in his first nine games Ryan has hits in three consecutive [...]

A-Rod Passes McGwire on Home-Run List

Alex Rodriguez hit his first home-run of the season last night, and the 584th of his career. He is now the sole-owner of eighth place all time on the home-run list. Frank Robinson is the next to pass who has 586. No one has reached this milestone as quickly as A-Rod has, not even Hank [...]

Matt Holliday to Miss Series Opener

St. Louis Cardinals left fielder Matt Holliday will miss at least the series opener at home against the New York Mets. It was not clear what he was sick with or if it could last beyond today. Manager Tony La Russa expected Holliday to take indoor batting practice and said his slugger was at the [...]

Bryan Anderson Promoted

The St. Louis Cardinals are going with Bryan Anderson as their backup catcher while Jason LaRue heals on the 15-day DL. Anderson went 0-1 in his debut, pinch-hitting for Yadier Molina and lining out to right field in a 5-1 loss to the Houston Astros. It was a bit of a surprise move as Matt [...]

Cards Loss Highlights Potential Danger

The St. Louis Cardinals 2-1 defeat to the Cincinnati Reds exposed a few potential problem areas for the Cards in their quest for the playoffs and beyond in 2010.

Howard For Pujols

Okay, so if you haven’t heard, there is a rumor from an “inside” source in the Phillies organization that there have been front office talks about trying to trade Ryan Howard for Albert Pujols. These talks are rumored to only be only taking place in the Phillies front office,  and they apparently haven’t approached the [...]
