Cards lost to the Royals 2-1 last night.  No big deal.  They'll just win the next two.  They've only done that eight times this year.  Why not nine? With Davies being so unfamiliar to the Cards (and with no Pujols or Molina) it's...

While everyone else is headed to the DL, Jason Isringhausen bucked the trend by coming off the DL. Without a doubt the erstwhile closer will pitch against the Royals this week, working his way back to ninth inning duties. Should he falter again or if...

Three months ago not many of us non-Cardinal fans even considered the possibility that St. Louis would be 42-29 in mid-June. Better and more unbiased baseball minds than me actually projected the Cardinals to be one of the five worst teams in...

overall, it was a pretty good first weekend of baseball without albert pujols for the cardinals at home. they managed to overcome getting their heads beat in by the phils friday to win a well pitched game saturday and capitalize on a couple of field...

Our office just went to doing 40 hours in four days, so as to have Friday off, which meant I've been away from the computer for most of the weekend.  Let's recap, then discuss: Thursday (vs. Cincy) Hero: Troy Glaus .  1-4, but drove in both...

Oy vey! Ok, now I have to stop talking about the team’s injuries. The past three or so times when I talked about injuries or boasted about the team’s playoff chances, it seems as if there is yet another injury/setback. Now, it appears as if Chris...

Following their 20-2 loss to the Phillies on Friday night, the St. Louis Cardinals added two relievers including closer Jason Isringhausen -- activated from the 15-day disabled list -- to provide some fresh arms to their depleted bullpen that turned...

Cardinals closer Jason Isringhausen came to the ballpark on Saturday expecting to throw one final bullpen tuneup before coming off the 15-day disabled list next week. Instead, he was activated. ... Right-hander Anthony Reyes also was recalled from...

They may have lost their shot at Johan Santana, but the Empire Emeritus may have a shot at another Cy Young Award winner, if The New York Times —which says you can all but thank Victor Martinez for the opportunity—can be believed . An...

¡Ay Chihuahua! The night of June 10th was far and away the scariest moment in recent Cardinal History. As the count grew to 1-2, t he greatest player in baseball screamed in pain and grabbed his leg. Cardinal Nation was quiet with angst, as we all...

A few notes before the Phillies head into Saint Louis: Jayson Werth was pranked last night before the final game of the Marlins series. The first lineup card slotted him at catcher. Because Chris Coste and his wife had their second child,...

Man, that really looked like Mike Pelfrey ’s night on Wednesday. Wednesday’s game is one of those wins that really shouldn’t end up as an SNY ULTIMET Classic. It reminds of that 2006 Mets at Giants game where Brian Bannister was...

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Called into to finish off what closer Jason Isringhausen started, it took Jess Todd only three pitches to assert his ownership of the game. Isringhausen threw his 22nd pitch to get his fifth out of his rehab start and then...
