If Cardinals get in sync at any time and turn from concern to contender, it's gonna be May
As the schedule relents, the Cardinals have fought temptation to trade defense for offense, and it's kept them steady, but they need hits, and fast, to really pop.
Tipsheet: Walker's demotion raises questions about Cardinals' player development
The demotion of Jordan Walker was just the latest setback in the Cardinals' attempt to build a nucleus of good young players.
What’s tripping Cardinals’ lineup in monthlong search for runs? ‘It comes down to slug.’
Through 31 games, Cardinals have played 24 decided by three or fewer runs like Wednesday's 4-1 loss at Detroit. The trouble is they often score only three runs. Here's why.
I am a long-time White Sox fan. But I have always respected the Cardinals and their great baseball legacy and fans.
The White Sox are a foundational AL franchise with great fans as well. The White Sox are the Chicago baseball team – let’s say, for the adults in the City.
But the Sox have suffered from mostly bad ownership over their many years and so their game record has long suffered. While the Cards have clearly had many great winning seasons.
Many a night while growing up I would tune in KMOX to listen to the broadcast of a team that actually knew how to win games. To get that taste of another Sox loss out of my thoughts for a bit.
Now we Sox fans have to live with the idea that the current Sox owner will move the team out of Chicago if he doesn’t get his way with State taxpayer funding for a new ballpark. Just another insult to we the fans.
I hope all you Cardinal fans know how lucky you are to have a winning team to follow for most of your seasons. And you have no worries of anyone daring to move the Cards out of town (like the Browns did to St. Louis many years ago). Who knows what the Sox future will be.
So...best of luck to your Redbirds and you fans all through Missouri and Southern Illinois and Arkansas and elsewhere in the rest of this season. And know that for me it’s fun to watch the Sox playing NL teams now in addition to their regular schedule. And the Cardinals could one day be a great Sox rivalry.
As maybe in the future we’ll still have a ball club in Chicago to root for (for us there IS only one team in Chicago and there is no other) and we’ll be playing the Cardinals for a very long time to come. Friendly rivals who respect each other.

Cool, Lance. Thanks!
This weekend is a matchup of two of the worst teams in baseball in terms of slugging percentage. Only other team as bad as these two in that statistic is the Marlins.
Another weird stat: all Cardinal outfielders hold a bat in their hands for no apparent reason
C.B. Buckner was clearly ready for the game to end. "Strike" three was not even close. Buckner gives Angel Hernandez a run for his money.
I started umping when I was 13 until I was 25. I still remember when I was like 15, I correctly called a kid out out at home in a tied game at the end of regular innnings.
During the break, the old umpire doing the bases came to tell me “son, we do not get paid overtime you should have called him safe”!

Buckner is the second or third worst home plate ump in the business, we all know who # 1 is, Angel.
MLB would do a lot for the reputation of the game to evaluate and dismiss umpires based upon their
skill/ stats. keeping those idiots around even if we get an automated strike zone is embarrassing. (which
can't come soon enough)

Hochman: For Cardinals fans, ‘patience’ has become a ‘trigger word’ on social media
Patience is a virtue, but in St. Louis, it’s vulgarity. And online, it’s virtual vitriol.
