What Will Happen With Pujols?

 Posted on December 3, 2010  |  The Editor

That’s the big question for the Cardinals and their fans this offseason: What will happen with Albert Pujols, arguably major league baseball’s best player, and who is less than a year from being a free agent and possibly leaving the Cardinals. The guys at Cards Diaspora asked this question to some knowledgable and handsome folks and complied their answers in their post…what’s this? Is our fearless editor, the ruggedly handsome and slighty more popular than the WikiLeaks guy, Mike Flynn included in the list of notables as Tim McKernan and Deadspin’s Wil Leitch? [Read More]

Cardinals Prepare to Ship Out Shortstop Brendan Ryan

 Posted on December 2, 2010  |  The Editor

The quirky Cardinals shortstop that’s had a permanent reservation at Tony LaRussa‘s dog house appears to be on his way out of St. Louis. After the Cardinals acquired ex-Cub Ryan Theriot from the Dodgers, the writing has been on the wall for Brendan Ryan, the mustachioed gentleman in the photo to the right taken a year ago when one of the local clubs had its douchebag collection on public display.

Pujols Gets 2MVP (2nd Most Valuable Player) Award for 2010 Season

 Posted on November 23, 2010  |  The Editor

The Cardinals’ Albert Pujols lost the vote for the 2010 National League MVP, coming in second to the Reds’ Joey Votto, but did get his 8th consecutive top 10 finish, putting him only behind Barry “Yeah, right there. Shove it in my ass!” Bonds who had 9. Though Pujols was next in line, the vote was hardly close with Pujols only getting one 1st place vote. A vote that ESPN.com made sure to call out the scribe that cast it: [Read More]

 Posted on November 19, 2010  |  The Editor

The St. Louis Cardinals have announce that starting with next season their tickets will all be “dynamically priced” based on a variety of options: Utilizing advanced computer programming linked to its new ticketing system, the Cardinals will have the ability to adjust ticket prices upward or downward on a daily basis based on changing factors such as team performance, pitching matchups, and the weather. Unmentioned in the press release was the fact that the “advanced computer programming” is actually a giant knob in Bill Dewitt’s office marked “Ticket Prices”. [Read More]

 Posted on November 16, 2010  |  The Editor

Brad Penny, he of his hot girlfriend, perfectly square head and a handful of games as a Cardinal in 2010, took to Twitter yesterday to say he’s sorry for not being around much this year. He’ll tell you what though! Next time, he’s going to pick us all up one weekend, take us for ice cream, go to a movie, and then the park! Anything you want Cardinal fans, it’ll be your day!

St. Louis Cardinals are the Second-Best Real Estate on MLB Monopoly

 Posted on November 10, 2010  |  The Editor

A few years ago the people of Milton Bradley decided to turn out their little mustachioed real estate mogul and let any old brand, knock off that top hat and go to town on the Monopoly Man. The latest brand to take a ride on the “hope you don’t realize this is the same game as the last 45 incarnations” train is Major League Baseball. The only intrigue when they churn out a new Monopoly game is what parts of the theme are worthy of Boardwalk and what crap do they throw down on the ghetto by the jail that is St. [Read More]

Tony LaRussa to Return as Cardinals Manager

 Posted on October 19, 2010  |  The Editor

When the disappointing 2010 season for the St. Louis Cardinals came to an end, Tony LaRussa packed most of his baseball knickknacks in to boxes, loaded them in to his car and drove home to California. He claimed he wanted to use the time to contemplate about the lost season and figure out if he still had the urge to manage the his 16th Cardinals team through the grueling 162-game season.

Cardinals 2010: It Was Over, but Now It’s Really Over

 Posted on September 29, 2010  |  The Editor

That’s it folks. The Reds have won the Central Division and the Cardinals are going home to go hunt or fish or make their jeans in to jorts…whatever all those hoosier Cardinals do. Right fielder Jay Bruce hit a walk-off home run against the Houston Astros to win the game and snatch the Central Division crown off the Cardinals crestfallen head. Bruce homered on the first pitch from Tim Byrdak leading off the ninth inning Tuesday for a 3-2 victory over the Houston Astros that secured the NL Central title and touched off the long-awaited party in a city where champagne sprays were commonplace in the ’70s and ’90s.

Cardinals Show Felipe Lopez the Door

 Posted on September 22, 2010  |  The Editor

So the Cardinals suck and Felipe Lopez knew it. So that fool had to go! He just knew too much. In the Cardinals’ clubhouse at Busch Stadium, Lopez, who had a narrow cubby hole for a locker, had a sign affixed that read “Club Flip.” But Lopez won’t be needing that locker anymore _ and the club no longer will be in operation _ because he first was sent home from here to Florida this afternoon by manager Tony La Russa and later was granted his unconditional release by general manager John Mozeliak.
