It has been a tough week for the Cardinals with a five-game losing streak plunging their playoff odds below two percent. The season has been more competitive and fun than expected, but the fall from contention stings nonetheless. I am a reasonably logical person, but there is an irrational part of my brain that has […]
Everson Pereira has been a pleasant surprise in his first few weeks with the Cardinals, even if some of his previous flaws have followed him to St. Louis.
Watching the Cardinals for the past week has been similar to that meme where the stick figure pokes the stick at an object saying “do something”.

Good morning, Camden Chatters. The Orioles’ frantic march toward .500 has hit another stumbling block. They couldn’t complete the sweep of the Cardinals yesterday afternoon, dropping the finale by a 7-5 score.

The last time the Orioles visited St. Louis, in May 0f 2024, the Cardinals won all three games to end the Birds’ 106-series regular season sweepless streak.
