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 [...]

Dusty Baker: Pure Class

Dusty Baker: Pure Class

By Brett on February 28, 2011

I know, I know. It seems like I’ve been on a Dusty Baker-bashing crusade of late. And that’s because I have. But when a guy gives you so many pearls of douche, you simply have to sound the alarm. The latest comes courtesy of Adam Wainwright’s very serious, season-ending elbow injury. The telephone in manager [...]

Obsessive Pujols Watch: Ricketts Will Feel Pressure to Go After Albert

Obsessive Pujols Watch: Ricketts Will Feel Pressure to Go After Albert

By Brett on February 25, 2011

Another (February) day, another article about free-agent-to-be Albert Pujols. This one comes from Buster Olney, who correctly notes that, should Pujols actually reach free agency, the Chicago Cubs – and particularly owners the Ricketts Family – will face extreme fan and media pressure to go after Pujols with both guns blazing. No offer will be considered [...]

By Brett on February 24, 2011

The writing was on the wall when the Cardinals were using words like “serious injury,” but today they announced Adam Wainwright will undergo Tommy John surgery, and miss the 2011 season. Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak confirmed the news Thursday at the team’s spring training facility in Jupiter, Fla. He said he learned the severity [...]

Obsessive Albert Pujols Watch: Aramis Ramirez Wants Pujols, Likes Carlos Pena

Obsessive Albert Pujols Watch: Aramis Ramirez Wants Pujols, Likes Carlos Pena

By Brett on February 20, 2011

From the moment Albert Pujols declined to sign an extension with the Cardinals by his self-imposed deadline, thus (theoretically) ensuring his ascendency into free agency after the season, we all knew an Obsessive Watch was coming. So here we are. That said, Pujols feels like he deserves something special, on the order of OMG Brian [...]
