    A Rainy Sweep To Cleanse the Past (Rangers vs Cardinals)

    The Texas Rangers haven’t played at Busch stadium since dropping the final two games of the 2011 World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals, but they didn’t seem daunted by the venue over the three game series, completing a three-game sweep thanks to a clutch hit from Ian Kinsler, bringing home Lenoys Martin and the 2-1 victory.

    Michael Wacha And The Magic of Unearned Runs (Cardinals vs Mets)

    While being one of the best offensive teams in baseball, the St. Louis Cardinals don’t always need hitting to carry them. Sometimes it’s a rookie pitcher named Michael Wacha and one huge mistake from Daniel Murphy that allows them to win 9-2 against the New York Mets despite scoring only two earned runs.

  • 2012 MLB Postseason – Cardinals vs Braves Predictions

    Thanks to Adam Wainwright, there’s a little bit of bad blood in this one, as the Cardinals pitcher didn’t like seeing the way the Atlanta Braves players were celebrating making it into the playoffs after their late season collapse a year earlier, which allowed the St. Louis Cardinals their World Series run to begin.

  • St. Louis Cardinals – Better Than Last Season?

    The World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals just might be better this season than they were last year, with Albert Pujols and Tony La Russa, when they went into the postseason as a wildcard team and went on to beat the Texas Rangers in 7 games. This year, all the stats show this team is better in 2012, but the win-loss record tells us different.

  • 2012 Opening Day Lost in the Confusion

    The Miami Marlins didn’t have the greatest of debuts in their new home park, losing to the St. Louis Cardinals 4-1 in a second opening day for the 2012 MLB season, which actually opened a week ago in Tokyo, Japan, in a two game series between the A’s and the Mariners. Did anyone notice, anyone at all?

  • Baseball Is Nearly Back, If You’ve Noticed

    The 2012 Baseball season has already started, but it hasn’t been really noticed. The NBA, despite of the lockout, didn’t really take a hit in popularity. Too many stars, too many crowd-pleasers in the league right now. March Madness and College Basketball has been extremely appeasing, despite the apparent uneven field.
