The St. Louis Cardinals should trade Andre Pallante this deadline
I find this deadline kind of fascinating. It is officially Chaim Bloom’s first deadline, although I am sure he was involved in last year’s deadline. But that alone makes it interesting. I also feel like it is an early signal in how much different things will be than under the current regime compared to John […]
Matthew Liberatore Throws a Gem as Cardinals Avoid Sweep vs Blue Jays Sunday
To say that Matthew Liberatore has struggled this season is to state the obvious.

Blue Jays Spoil Quinn Mathews Debut, Beat St. Louis Cardinals Saturday

Which Cardinals Should Get a Runway After the Trade Deadline?
The trade deadline is only a couple of days away, and the Cardinals are bracing for yet another shakeup. Assuming Dustin May, Ryne Stanek, JoJo Romero, and possibly Pedro Pages are dealt, the team is going to look significantly different down the stretch.

St. Louis Cardinals Lose Pitchers Duel in Toronto as Blue Jays Prevail
Any game that Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Dylan Cease is involved in is likely to be a pitcher’s duel. That proved true Friday night, but Kyle Leahy was equally vexing to the Blue Jays lineup.

Wetherholt’s Homer Not Enough as Cubs Beat Cardinals in Extras Thursday
Thursday’s afternoon game between the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs can be described with two words: missed opportunities. Runners in scoring position not realized would be a problem for both the Cardianls and Cubs. Andre Pallante kept the Cubs relatively quiet, but would he get enough offensive support for a win? So many questions. […]

St. Louis Cardinals Offense, I Miss You
I went to last night’s game, and it was a family affair as it was a Father’s Day gift and we went to the 703 Club, which was an all-inclusive area. So I appropriately took advantage of it and ate everything I could and drank some beverages. Because it was kind of a boring and […]

The Trade Deadline Approacheth! What Will The St Louis Cardinals Do In 2026?
Well, lo and behold! The vaunted MLB Trade Deadline is under a week away, and the Cardinals have finally succumbed to the battle for .500 and are now underwater, a couple of games under a winning season.

Cubs Score Early and Often Humiliating St. Louis Cardinals Tuesday
