The first place Cards: It's early. Dream big.
Posted Thursday, April 10, at 8:08 AM The great ones always respond, don't they? Albert Pujols entered Wednesday night's contest against the Houston Astros with no home runs and exactly one RBI. But that all changed in a hurry. A three-for-four performance that included an RBI single and two solo home runs helped vault the Redbirds to a 6-4 victory and a 7-2 record...
Cards opening series What a difference a year makes Last year, the St. Louis Cardinals opened the season at home against a team that had played in the National League Championship Series the previous fall. The Cardinals dropped all three games to the Mets, were outscored 20-2, and lost Chris Carpenter for the year after pitching six innings in the opener...
Opening day and beyond: Just how good are the 2008 Cards? For a team picked to finish somewhere between mediocrity and the bottom of the barrel, we can say for this certainty about the 2008 St. Louis Cardinals: they looked pretty good for about three innings on Monday, didn't they? The catch by outfielder Skip Schumaker, the bases-loaded double by Rick Ankiel to drive in a couple, Yadier Molina going the opposite way to drive in another two, Albert Pujols being Albert Pujols. But thanks to the rain, it's as if it never happened...
Cardinals baseball - the Bad News Bears Since the St. Louis Cardinals won the 2006 World Series, has there been a single good news story about this team that you really wanted to read and had anything to do with a game? Spring training 2007 brought news of Tony La Russa's DUI arrest. The opening night of the season saw Chris Carpenter on the mound -- never to be seen from again after a season-ending injury...
Spygate: the other non-scandal We have two great alleged sports scandals now in America. One involves who injected what into someone's rear end a decade ago. The other matter so important it requires congressional attention involves who videotaped what over the past decade. Here's the deal. You can videotape NFL football games. You can steal signs from the sidelines. You just can't mix the stealing with the video. Got that?...
A letter to Roger Clemens To: Roger Clemens From: Anonymous Major League Athlete Hey Rog, Dude, WTF!!?? All I know is what I see on ESPN but it looks like you got roughed up a bit the other day on Capitol Hill. Some of those lawmakers really know how to play hardball...
College football recruiting - myths and reality Coming off a 1979 season in which they finished with a 7-5 record and a victory in the Hall of Fame Bowl, the Missouri Tigers signed 23 high school and junior college recruits to letters of intent. Fourteen of the 23 hailed from the Show-Me state, including three players from Southeast Missouri: Kerry Holloway and Kip Hamby from Cape Central and running back Darrel Williams from East Prairie...
What's the $$ impact of a sports franchise? How 'bout zero? That's right. Zero. Zilch. Nada. At least that's the argument being put forth by the Seattle SuperSonics. Owners of the NBA franchise want to relocate the team to Oklahoma City. Stuck in a lease arrangement on a city-owned arena through 2010, owners are resorting to a unique form of economic warfare in order to get their way...
Rolen for Glaus? Update: Glaus will be in St. Louis Monday for his physical. The St. Louis Cardinals and Toronto Blue Jays are discussing swapping third basemen - Scott Rolen for Troy Glaus.

Football is not a track meet - Mizzou slaughters Hogs Arkansas strong safety Matt Hewitt -- Wednesday, December 26th in the Northwest Arkansas Times -- on playing against Missouri. "They're going to get a rude awakening Jan. 1, because they're going to see the press man and a lot of blitz schemes coming after them. They forget they're going against an SEC team."...
The Ryan Willen show He scored his team's first nine points of the game. He scored Notre Dame's first 15 points of the third quarter. He scored from inside. He scored from outside - two three-pointers - and he scored from the free throw line: 12 out of 13 from the charity stripe. He scored 40 of his team's 70 points...
Why don't NFL players get asterisks? The topic was the Mitchell report and illegal drug use in Major League Baseball. The question came on ESPN radio Friday morning from Sean Salisbury to Peter Gammons: Should fans feel betrayed by the players mentioned in the report? Part of Gammons' answer -- do NFL fans feel betrayed by Shawne Merriman?...
Edmonds out - Is Rasmus in? The trade of Jim Edmonds to the San Diego Padres for minor league prospect David Freese answers some questions about the 2008 St. Louis Cardinals and raise several more. This move, along with David Eckstein's signing with the Toronto Blue Jays, is clear evidence the Cardinals are finally cutting ties with the past and accelerating the rebuilding process...
Dear Santa... From: John Mozeliak St. Louis, MO To: Santa Claus North Pole Dear Santa, Getting my Christmas wish list together and thought I would drop you a note. Wow -- where to begin? It's been a pretty big year for me. As you know, I no longer have "assistant" in front of my title. ...
Remember the Alamodome First of all, congratulations to the Oklahoma Sooners. They beat Missouri in Norman. They soundly defeated the Tigers Saturday night in San Antonio. They have bigger, stronger and faster athletes -- just better football players. They wore down Mizzou in the second half. They were better coached and better prepared. Coach Bob Stoops and staff showed Gary Pinkel and crew, that while they've made considerable progress up the mountain, there's a long way to go to get to the summit...
Your new Cardinals shortstop... is Cesar Izturis. One year deal. Details at the Post-Dispatch here, MLB.com here. The Post notes the team will most likely "sever ties" with David Eckstein. The 27-year old Izturis won a Gold Glove back in 2004 while playing for the Dodgers. Here are his career numbers. Lifetime on-base percentage of .295 - don't expect much offense...
Mizzou's March to Number One 36-28. The Missouri Tigers are Big 12 North champions and possibly the number one team in the land.

Tigers, Jayhawks, and a secret confession During the week of the biggest football game in the 116-year rivalry between Missouri and Kansas, I have a confession to make As a Missouri grad and lifetime Tigers fan, I'd rather beat Illinois than the Jayhawks. It's true. The sport doesn't matter -- football, basketball, ping pong -- you name it. Beating the Illini is just better...
Let the MU-KU chatter begin... A few impressions after watching the Missouri Tigers go to 10-1 on the season by defeating Kansas State 49-32. Jeremy Maclin is such a special, once-in-a-generation type talent. His decision to come to the University of Missouri instead of Oklahoma may turn out to be the biggest gift the Athletics Department receives in the 21st century...
Rolen rumors will be with us all winter long A rumored Scott Rolen to Minnesota deal was shot down almost as quickly as it surfaced. But expect trade talks involving the Cardinals third baseman to continue all winter and into the spring if he's still around. Yes, I'm aware of Rolen's injury history and his big bucks no-trade clause contract. But consider the following...
