Dear Cardinals fans, please remain calm
Posted Tuesday, June 18, at 10:08 PM It was bound to happen sooner or later. In baseball, no team wins them all. In fact, even the most amazing teams lose more than one-third of their games. The St. Louis Cardinals have begun 2012 on the best run in recent memory. As recently as last week the rookie redbirds were on pace for 110 wins...
David Freese comes back to life with 20-game hitting streak NOTE: The next LIVE chat will be Thursday, June 13, 2013 at noon. Join us!

Which duo will be better? Matt Harvey/Zach Wheeler vs. Shelby Miller/Michael Wacha The St. Louis Cardinals and New York Mets have a luxury that would excite the front office and fanbase of any MLB team. What each team has is a pair of powerful young arms, capable not just of putting up decent numbers, but also of changing the face of their respective organizations for years to come...
NL early vote totals highlight problem with MLB All Star Game I thoroughly enjoy the All-Star game. The fanfare, festivities and camaraderie are all a blast to watch. Who wouldn't enjoy watching the best of the best duke it out? I say this because I'm also thoroughly disgusted with the All-Star promise, so I thought I would try to serve it up with a compliment sandwich...
Young MLB Players Could Learn a Lot from George Brett As I awaited the beginning of St. Louis Cardinals' pitching prospect Michael Wacha's MLB debut Thursday afternoon, the Kansas City Royals announced that they had hired Hall of Famer George Brett as assistant hitting coach to help aid their faltering offense...
Wacha dazzles in spoiled debut When Michael Wacha took the field for the first of what will likely be many, many times, he was instantly the pitcher we've written about time and time again. But, there was a difference. Thursday night he did it at the big show. He started his career in grand fashion with a lead-off strikeout of Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon...
5 Biggest Draft Busts in St. Louis Cardinals History With the MLB Draft just around the corner, all of the focus is on high school and college players. The focus is on hope, potential and a chance for a brighter future. In St. Louis, everyone is watching past draft picks as they make their big league arrival and dazzle with their triple-digit fastballs and bottomless curves. However, not all draft picks find themselves in the limelight of a major league baseball team...
How far can the Cardinals depth carry them? For the last two years, we've heard repeatedly about the ridiculous depth of the St. Louis Cardinals. There's been a long line of serious talent working its way through the farm system for the last few years just waiting for holes to open up that would give them an opportunity...
What Shelby Miller Must Do to Win the 2013 NL Cy Young Award St. Louis Cardinals rookie starter Shelby Miller has been causing quite the stir among MLB pundits and baseball writers. With so much attention being pointed toward Matt Harvey (well-earned attention, mind you), Shelby Miller slipped through the early weeks of 2013 with little or no national attention despite his accomplishments...
First Quarter Grades for the St. Louis Cardinals The St. Louis Cardinals entered the quarter-season mark of 2013 with the best record in baseball. To say that exceeds the expectations of some is quite the understatement. Many, arguably most, baseball writers had the Cincinnati Reds picked as clear favorites to win the National League Central Division...
Wainwright leading Cardinals youth by example ST. LOUIS, Mo.--St. Louis Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright has seen a lot of role changes over the years. He arrived in the big leagues as the rookie closer. The famed curveball he blew past future teammate Carlos Beltran to clinch the 2006 World Series berth will forever be remembered as one of the most memorable single pitches in Cardinals history...
LIVE blog today from Busch Stadium I will be live blogging from the pressbox high atop Busch Stadium throughout the afternoon today as the Cardinals go for the four-game sweep against the New York Mets. METS EXTEND LEAD, WALL EATS MURPHY HIT(1-4, Top 6) Another inning took a turn for the worse for the Cardinals this afternoon as the Mets extended their lead. ...
Miller's near-perfecto cements his ROTY candidacy A broken bat bloop off of the bat of Colorado Rockies right-fielder Eric Young is the only thing that separated Shelby Miller from a perfect game. The St. Louis Cardinals number five starter got his number five win Friday night, but that statement doesn't even touch the gravity of his performance...
It's time to protect pitchers -- at all levels When Toronto Blue Jays pitcher J.A. Happ hit the ground Tuesday evening after taking a line drive to the face off the bat of Desmond Jennings, it once again reminded us of the dangers of this game. As Happ laid at the base of the mound, motionless with his face in his hands, the look in the eyes of the players on the field said it all...
2013 Cardinals have what it takes By COREY NOLES With the St. Louis Cardinals making a statement early on in 2013, the team is showing several signs that offer a glimpse of what to expect from this team throughout the season. The Cardinals, as of May 5, have the best record in the National League (20-11) and the second best in all of Major League Baseball. When looking at that record there are several interesting things to take into account...

Ozzie Smith Talks Stan Musial, Life as a HOFer, Pepsi Max Game St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame shortstop Ozzie Smith has been around the game for years.

As a Cardinal, he's also seen history--not just the history of the game, but of the organization...
HOF shortstop Ozzie Smith sees promise in Carpenter, Kozma By COREY NOLES There are few people in baseball who know the ins and outs of the middle infield quite like Ozzie Smith.

Cardinals bullpen is not the whole problem ST. LOUIS, Mo. - After Sunday's pummeling at the hands of the Pittsburgh Pirates as the St. Louis Cardinals again handed over the top spot in the NL Central I feel it is important to clarify a few things.
