• Amaury Marti Watch

    Amaury Marti is currently hitting .424/.509/.633 in 39 games for the Mexican Red Devils of the Mexican League, also known as Liga de Amaury Cazana. Bud Selig ordered the Cardinals to banish him to there, in fear of the major leagues losing competitive balance.

    Amaury also refuses to accept the watch curse. He has the power to curse, and the power to bless.

Bye bye Jock

I would be remiss to not weigh in on Jock’s departure, so here’s my 2 cents for what it’s worth-
Obviously, Walt Jocketty has permanently etched himself in Cardinal lore, so it’s pretty sad to see him fired after everything he’s done for the team. On the other hand, I feel like I can breath [...]

Jocketty out

Well, this piece of news should’ve not been a surprise given all the rumors we’ve been hearing about Walt’s apparent unhappiness, but frankly I’m shocked. I feel blindsided and sad, yet sort of relieved that we won’t be selling off our best prospects for grizzled vets. Don’t get me wrong, the trades Jock has pulled [...]

Danielson the player to named for Pineiro

Per Brian Walton at the Birdhouse, it looks like Sean Danielson will the the PTBNL for Joel Pineiro. That’s a relief. Best of luck to Danielson and all, but if he gets any length of playing time in Boston I’d be shocked. Maybe the Red Sox are trying to appease karma after they allowed David Eckstein to be [...]

The Final Season

“We grow baseball players like we grow corn.” from The Final Season.
You can’t get much cornier then that, but wait, there is Tom Arnold. Why do I bring this up? A big part of the movie was filmed in my current home town of Cedar Rapids, IA, and my wife and [...]
