Well as the free agent filing period begins, the Cardinals have also begun cleaning house, clearing 4 from the 40 man roster, including Brad Thompson, who was released, Joe Thurston, who was outrighted to

you know your team is slow when Albert Pujols leads your team with 16 steals. Now that the PED era is moving behind us, teams are starting to steal bases again. The Cardinals need to upgrade their team speed to compete in my opinion. What ar

The normal Round Two question for the pundits this week was: who is in left field if Holliday leaves?
I found this question intriguing because it has such an impact on the Cards next year. I just feel that Holliday might just be pushing himself out of budget range of the Cardinals, which will lead to other options.

If they are going anywhere. Any thoughts on availability inside or outside the organization of a good lefty?

What kind of contract do you think it will take to resign Matt Holliday? How many years do you think he is looking for and how much per year? Is 5 year 100 million going to do it and will the Cardinals pay it? I could be wrong but I think this will be the neighborhood Holl

Albert Pujols has made it very clear he wants to play for a winner. Well no one is more key to this than him. The Cardinals have a good balance of young talent and very good vetran players right now, they just need a few minor pieces to pull things together

I'm going to come right out with it, who do we resign at season's end, Mark DeRosa or Matt Holliday? In 44 games with the Cardinals, Holliday has 33 runs, 62 hits, 13 2B, 2 3B, 12 HR, 42 RBIs, 17 BB (4 intentional), stolen 2 bases out of 3 tries, has an

Mark McGwire Should not be allowed to have any position with any team in MLB or a minor league affiliation until he testifies about his steroid use! Shame on the Cardinals for even considering this cheat to be a hitting instructor and be allowed to tarnish any further their proud history of being one of MLB's best run organiz

I realize the content of the following excerpts aren't related to the Cardinals, but with all the talk of Mark McGwire, steroids, performance enhancers, etc, I think this might help to create a different perspective on things. This story is a few days old, but I've been away so hopefully it's still news to some people. T

ESPN is announcing that Tony La Russa will return for a 15th season as Cardinals manager. And that's not all. Hitting coach Hal McRae is out. Replacing McRae is long time La Russa friend and former player Mark McGwire. Yes, the Big Mac has decided to end his boycott and will be our new hitting coach. The rest of the coaching staff will a

Peeyew! Peeeeeeeyew! Man, you guys stink! Kind of a waste of time, watching the Cardinals all year. Okay, they won the NL Central. We all know it's full of top contenders: Pittsburgh, Cinicinatti, Houston, Milwaukee.
Enjoy the frusteration and pain guys; It will last until next October.

It has now been 11 days since our Cardinals were ousted from post season play and 18 days since Tony and his wonderful family celebrated his 65th birthday (October 4th). And he has now told Joe Strauss that he is in the final chapter of revealing his decision on whether he will return for a 15th year or not.
I know that his month
