I think we, as a community of worriers, are relatively pat about the offense—if anything bad were to happen, be it Pujols missing a chunk of time; Rasmus continuing to be Ramos; or the Cardinals seriously going into the 2010 season with Skip Schumaker and Allen Craig dueling for the chance to be the team's fourth best hitter, it would come as a terrible shock. But the pitchers... well, they were...

It's the end of the year roundtable for the UCB and Trey and I are both participating. You can check out the other questions here . Here's my quesiton and the replies it got: Most of the questions so far, due to the time of the year, have been front-office-esque--as they should be. Yet let's switch gears for a second and prognosticate. Do you believe next year's team will be better than this year's...

More photos » by Matt Sayles - AP We still love ya, DeRo. Browse more photos » When you read this, keep in mind it is written with tongue planted firmly in cheek. The Cardinals got swept out of their Division Series with the Dodgers and looked, in doing so, just about as bad as the Cubs did in a similar sweep a year ago. Common thread? It has to be Mark DeRosa , the only former Cub on St....

When Jonathan Broxton struck out Rick Ankiel to end Game Three of the NLDS tonight, the Cardinals officially went into offseason mode, turning their eyes towards 2010. The team has several impending free agents, including Ankiel, Mark DeRosa, Matt Holliday, Troy Glaus, Khalil Greene, Jason LaRue, Joel Piniero, John Smoltz, and Todd Wellemeyer, while Ryan Ludwick and Skip Shumaker figure to get considerable...

It’s been a busy week for me, with having to drive a hour and a half to an audit every morning. (Usual commute to the office–8 minutes.) So I’ve not had the chance to finish up the regular season and look at tonight’s start of the NLDS. Let me see if I can’t do that extremely quickly. Saturday: 5-4 Loss Hero: Brendan Ryan . Three for three, scored twice, drove in run....

momup swears that, when she took this photo, our three dissatisfied-looking starters were staring out at the bullpen, where one Todd Wellemeyer was warming up. When asked for comment, Wellemeyer said: "Well, I thought all the people liked me out there, but sometimes you throw a pitch and bam—it just happened. I think I was more likable than I've been all year." View full size photo...

It’s meaningless baseball, right? The Cards are going to the playoffs, but without a lot of things going their way, there’s not much they can do otherwise. The odds are long that they’ll catch the Dodgers for the best record and, given the way that the Rockies have handled the team, being second might not be all that advantageous either. That said, and even given the fact that the...

ST. LOUIS – Cardinals right-hander John Smoltz is being held out of his scheduled start Monday against the Florida Marlins because of shoulder tendinitis. Smoltz, 1-1 with a 3.27 ERA in four starts with St. Louis after being released by the Boston Red Sox, said Saturday he expects to miss only one start. His next scheduled outing is Sept. 20 against the Chicago Cubs. While Smoltz will not throw

Way back on March 11, in a United Cardinal Blogger roundtable, I made the following predictions: Cardinals finish 90-72 and win the wild card. Albert Pujols hits 50 HR. Todd Wellemeyer wins 20 games and the Cy Young. Well some predictions are better than others. Wellemeyer certainly won't win 20. The Cy Young Award may well go to a Cardinal, but it will be Wainwright or Carpenter. Albert could still...

Like I said last night , who would have thought going into this home stand that the only game the Cardinals would win would be the game started by Todd Wellemeyer? The Cardinals again struggled to put anything resembling a consistent offense on the field yesterday, piling up hits but never with a runner in scoring position. The Marlins continued to give the Redbirds chances. They just wouldn’t...
