TOP 10 Prospect News: Archer Promoted to Durham
Tampa Bay Rays #3 prospect, RHP Chris Archer, has been promoted to the AAA Durham Bulls. Seriously, doesn’t every mound visit by the Bulls pitching coach have to consist of candlesticks?? Sorry, Bull Durham is one of my top 5 favorite movies and I will write and quote that movie A LOT! Anyway, Archer was [...]
TweetThe Rays plan with Hellickson
First Things First: Jeremy Hellickson’s actions in this picture looks just like every person, player and/or fan of the Rays anytime Tampa is coming to bat. The Tampa Bay Rays have said since spring training that rookie RHP Jeremy Hellickson would only throw a maximum of 180 innings in 2011. After Hellickson’s strong 7 inning [...]
TweetBJ Upton is back in the starting lineup tonight
Toronto – Tampa Bay Rays Centerfielder BJ Upton is back in the starting lineup tonight for the 1st time since straining his shoulder on Monday night versus the Detroit Tigers.

TweetBarring a setback, Wainwright 2 year option to be exercised by Cardinals
St. Louis Cardinals General Manager John Mozeliak said on Thursday night, “There is no reason for us not to assume it.” Mozeliak was talking about the 2 year $21 Million option that the Cardinals organization has to make a decision on almost immediately following the 2011 season on ace Adam Wainwright.

TweetScouting and Drafting for the Cardinals = EPIC FAIL
The St. Louis Cardinals have not had a #1 pick become a “star” in Major League Baseball since either 1998 5th overall pick JD Drew or 2006 42nd pick (supplemental draft) RHP Chris Perez. Was Drew really a star?? Not in my opinion, but I am trying to help the Redbirds here. On the Perez [...]
TweetCobb rejoins Rays and says Ribs…I had Ribs for lunch – that’s why I’m doing this
First Things First: I do not have confirmation that Alex Cobb really said that after rejoining the Tampa Bay Rays after surgery…but if you are a fan of the Movie “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy” I can guarantee that would have been the 1st thing I said when I came back into the locker [...]
TweetWainwright getting stronger day by day
On Monday, the ace of the St. Louis Cardinals staff coming into the season, Adam Wainwright, threw the ball about 120 feet 50 times. In February, Wainwright had Tommy John surgery and the day that happened – the Cardinals 2011 season was lost. But I will admit it took a bit longer for the season [...]
TweetCardinals attendance takes a big hit in 2011
One of the St. Louis Cardinals easiest jobs has to be in ticket sales. Since 1998, the Cardinals have drawn more than 3 million fans in every season except 2003 (they fell a little less than 90,000 of hitting the 3 million mark in ’03). But, with all of the frustration I am hearing through [...]
TweetThe Cardinals Organization is Sooo Frustrating
Sorry St. Louis Cardinals fans…I need to vent for a sec….and is there really a better spot than here? So…the Cards are in the Bottom of the 5th at Busch Stadium against possibly the best left-handed pitcher in baseball, Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight. The another one of the Cardinals starting pitchers, [...]
