Rumor is that Miller was 'shutdown' after the Pittsburg series. Apparently they wanted to try to keep him in good shape for next year. Remember that this is a Cardinals team that for the most part has not reached it's full potential. Very few of the Cardinal players on the roster had over 5...

A win tonight is, I feel, almost a necessity for the Cardinals. In fact; I would feel pretty confident with Wacha on the mound in Game 6. He is 5-0 so far in the playoffs. He simply doesn't lose games. Now a lost tonight... I don't like the idea of going back to Boston needing two wins.

As someone who wrote and worked on a good many of the past demogame constitutions I want to make a few suggestions before to delve to deeply into creating a new one. First off, some of the past constitutions were massive. They were huge documents, while worthy of the term constitution, did...

Yeah. Please don't hit anything to left field. Or just to the left in general. We would much appreciate it.

I went into this series thinking we'd have a good shot if we could beat Grienke OR Kershaw and head back to LA with the series tied 1-1. Never did I expect to go in 2-0. It has started to make me wonder what our starting rotation will look like next year. Wainwright, Miller, Lynn, Wacha, and...

Is this still in the works? As someone who played in both the Civ3 and Civ4 democracy games I would love to participate in a new one.

St. Louis has a much different atmosphere than many other cities, but I've always seen it as a bit pretentious to say they are the best fans in baseball. That is coming from a Cardinals fan. It is easy to support a team that is winning. Hell, since about 2004 we've been at least fighting for a...

Boggs was sent back to Triple A yesterday before the double-header. Butler was brought up from Double-A and pitched a scoreless eighth in the first game. What amazes me is not just that we are performing as well as we are, but that we are absolutely destroying most teams even with the sheer...

So, Chris Carpenter won't pitch in 2013; and is likely to retire after the season. While we have plenty of replacements for him in the rotation no one will ever replace his cussing capabilities. http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/762236/carp.gif

This years world series set a record low in TV ratings.

I remember in the 2011 off-season there was a lot of talk on Cardinals fansites that Mozeliak (the Cardinals GM) wanted to 'improve the clubhouse atmosphere.' That was one of the big reasons we took a risk of Lance Berkman that year; not because of his hitting but because of the man himself. I...

I am forced to reply with: Also... when did our rotation get turned around backwards? We've got Lynn, Carp, Lohse, Wainwright coming up.

Best quote of the night (about the cardinals):

Based on the 4-run ninth inning. Probably a little of both. It was 7-5 with one out remaining at one point.

and... down 6-1 the cardinals come back to win the series 9-7.
