Tony LaRussa is a great manager. He has won two World Series and will be in the Hall of Fame someday. However, he makes some moves that are real head scratchers, and Sunday was one of those days. The Cardinals are playing the Cincinnati Reds for 1st Place in the NL Central. So, why have two of the [...]
How about the marathon game Saturday for the St. Louis Cardinals and New York Mets! I only got to hear from the 13th inning on since the baseball team I coach had a tournament in Lebanon. However, there are a number of observations I have from what I heard and the stats from the game. [...]
Isn’t it good to see another teams in the division have problems with their problem? The game for the Cardinals Friday night was great in so many ways. First of all, the Cardinals fell behind early, but they did not let the game get out of hand because of the great pitching by the bullpen, [...]
This morning, we had a spirited discussion about the idea of trading Albert Pujols after the 2010 season. The idea was proposed by my partner on “The First Call,” Roger Sinnott.
I could not disagree more with this idea. Albert Pujols is a player that is still playing at a high level, and I believe that [...]

St. Louis Cardinals [...]
As Cards fans wonder whether Matt Holliday will sign a contract with either the Cards or anyone else soon, is anyone beginning to feel that Holliday fatigue? While Holliday played an instrumental role in the Cards running away with the 2009 division crown, it will be interesting to see how long the Cards “play ball” [...]
Finally!!!!!!!!!!! The best Cards manager ever has been selected for the baseball Hall Of Fame. Congratulations to Whitey Herzog for finally being selected – it is much overdue!! The originality with which his teams played and the unique style his teams had (as well as success) should have earned Herzog a place in Cooperstown years [...]
Because he continually does it day in and day out, it sometimes is difficult to fully appreciate what Albert does on the field. However, when you consider that he has now won 3 MVPs and has been one of the Top 9 contenders for MVP each of his nine seasons in MLB, you continue to [...]
A huge bombshell sounds like it has been dropped on the city of St. Louis. Also, two expected results happened for fans in the area as well. The heroes are filled with great comebacks. The zeros are filled with poor decisions. Unlike one of the candidates involved, we are going to talk about the past…the past three [...]
