Season Preview
Danny Knobler's Take
As Tony La Russa said, Chris Carpenter has barely pitched the last two years, and the Cardinals didn’t make the playoffs either year. Now Carpenter is back -- he looked as good as ever this spring -- so does that mean the Cardinals will be back playing October baseball? Perhaps, although you wonder how much the lack of a veteran closer and a defensive downgrade in the middle of the infield will hurt. We should know not to count out a team with La Russa and Albert Pujols, but even with Carpenter’s return this group still goes into the year with questions.
Actually, three of them, right in a row! After the Giants, the Cards hit the road to face the Reds, Brewers, and Cubbies. I guess we'll know a lot more about this team next week. This year's edition of Cards is making me nervou

I was interested in posting this because of the info on the team information banner on the homepage here. It states that the Cardinals used to be the Browns and then turned into the Perfectos and then to the Cardinals. This is what it states:
The St. Louis Cardinals, based in St. Louis, Mo., participate

The Jays are shopping quite a bit. The Cards might not have the talent to spare to get some of these players, but none the less, all are possible. La Russa is quite ambitious. If any trade is done, it's likely Wellemeyer and/or Ludwik would be included. The Cards have some wiggle room in their pocket book to afford possibly bringing Rolen back, or another player with an inflated salary

Fellas, needless to say the Cardinals find themselves in a funk. You can't really define their recent struggles as a slump becuase they have won a few games convincingly and lost a few too many too with a lot close games in between. A lot has been said about the short-comings of their outfield and their 4 and 5 starters and that

Granted, I don't watch a ton of TV anymore, but for what little snipits I've caught on shows like Baseball Tonight and MLB Tonight, when they talk about Albert Pujols, they haven't mentioned the Triple Crown. Pujols already has a healthy lead in the home run department (31, compared to

Whether we win, lose, or draw this game, that Red's pitching in the top of the 8th is about the worst I've ever seen. Walk the bases full for Albert, on 4 pitches no less. And why would you walk anybody with a 3 run lead? Horrible backward pitching. Go after Hoffpauir. What is the absolute worst he can do? hit a 3 run dinger and tie it up.
Baseball Tonight just reported that St. Louis traded Chris Perez and a player to be named later to Cleveland for Mark DeRosa. I know there have been arguments for and against getting DeRosa on this board, but I like having him. In addition to his pla

Without a doubt Albert has become a force to be reckoned with in the game of baseball. He has broken Stan Musials season GS record for the Cards, hes the third youngest player to put up numbers hes put up this season, I dont think this guy is human lol. He walks, talks, acts human, but I think theres something behind the HRs. Its not PEDs, I think this guy was built in an automat

How pathetic have the Cardinals been at this crucial spot in the lineup. For the season, including Luddy's hot start, the 4 spot is batting .222. WHAT? .222 in the 4 hole? Before Luddy went on the DL he generated 8 home runs and 27 RBI over 33 games. In the 50 games since Luddy went out (including his retu
