Why the 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Will Suck

Why the 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Will Suck

By Brett on March 30, 2011

Editor’s Note: Yes, it’s that time of year again – the time for us to settle back into our protective bubble where the Chicago Cubs are destined for greatness, and every other team in the National League Central is bound for spectacular failure. If you’d care to check out last year’s fare: St. Louis Cardinals, Cincinnati [...]

God Hates Other Teams, Too: Zack Greinke Broke a Rib

God Hates Other Teams, Too: Zack Greinke Broke a Rib

By Brett on March 8, 2011

The biggest move this offseason in the NL Central, if not all of baseball (I know, I know, Cliff Lee), was the Brewers’ trade for Royal ace Zack Greinke. Combined with the addition of Shaun Marcum, and resident Brewer stud Yovani Gallardo, Greinke gave the Brewers the best rotation in the Central. You know, assuming [...]

Marty Brennaman: Cubs Not Good Enough to Win Division

Marty Brennaman: Cubs Not Good Enough to Win Division

By Brett on March 3, 2011

Cincinnati Reds broadcasters have long had an interesting relationship with the Chicago Cubs. If you watch a Cubs/Reds game with Reds guys calling it – whether it’s Marty or Thom Brennaman or George Grande – you detect two things: (1) the Reds guys work very hard to be fair and even-handed, but (2) they don’t [...]

The Chicago Cubs Had a Good Offseason

The Chicago Cubs Had a Good Offseason

By Brett on February 9, 2011

If the offseason were the season, the Chicago Cubs might have made the playoffs. That’s because, according to ESPN’s Jayson Stark, the Cubs had the second best offseason in the NL Central (behind, obviously, the Brewers). Well, the Cubs got better. We’ll give them that. But how much better? That depends. Depends on whether Garza can [...]

The Cubs Aren’t the Only Team Welcoming Back Familiar Faces

The Cubs Aren’t the Only Team Welcoming Back Familiar Faces

By Brett on February 5, 2011

As I noted on Twitter last night, the Cardinals have signed former star (and former Cub – or have you already suppressed that memory?) Jim Edmonds to a minor league deal. Could he be their Augie Ojeda? “We had been talking for a little over a month and it got to a point where we [...]

Lukewarm Stove: Minor Matt Garza Tidbit

Lukewarm Stove: Minor Matt Garza Tidbit

By Brett on January 4, 2011

I recognize that this is now bordering on an Obsessive Matt Garza Watch (or is it OMGarza?), but there’s precious little going on right now, and trade rumors are always interesting – no matter how tenuous or uninformative. As for Garza, the latest news out of Tampa Bay is that the Rays are expected to [...]
