The St. Louis Cardinals, based in St. Louis, Mo., participate in Major League Baseball (MLB) and are a member of the National League Central Division. The Cardinals were founded in 1892.
ST. LOUIS — Sunday was going to be a memorable day for Adam Wainwright, no matter what. But some small ball helped make it a very big day for the right-hander. Wainwright allowed a run over six innings and the Cardinals manufactured two runs on a day when they didn't have much thunder in their [...]
ST. LOUIS — In a single, short month, a tooth-and-nail battle in the National League Central has turned into a walkaway. The Cardinals finished their August schedule with a staggering 10-game lead over the Cubs and 12 over the Brewers, with a magic number rapidly dwindling. The problem is that a lead like that can [...]
ST. LOUIS — All Mitchell Boggs needed, it seems, was a little run support. Based on recent events, there wasn't much reason to think he would get it. As it turns out, however, Boggs got a lot of help from his friends. And so bolstered, he settled in for his first Major League win in [...]
ST. LOUIS — When the Cardinals bolstered their offense with the additions of Matt Holliday, Mark DeRosa and Julio Lugo, they took on the look of a bashing team — the kind of club that would win with thunder. And for a while, they did. Then the offense cooled off, and yet, the Cards kept [...]
ST. LOUIS — As Albert Pujols and the Cardinals' offense slumped a bit on the club's recent West Coast road trip, manager Tony La Russa deflected questions about his slugger with a simple assertion: "When we need Albert," the skipper said, "Albert will be there." On Friday night, the two-time National League Most Valuable Player [...]
ST. LOUIS — Mitchell Boggs has done a lot more flying than pitching in the past 11 days. Boggs, who last started on Aug. 18 in Los Angeles, has been all over in the intervening time. Two days after his outing, he was optioned to the Minor Leagues to make room for new signee John [...]
ST. LOUIS — A showered and dressed Kyle McClellan sat in front of his locker and waited for the media as the clubhouse doors opened shortly after the Cardinals' 4-3 loss to the Houston Astros on Thursday afternoon. McClellan inherited a 3-2 lead in the eighth, but he gave up two-out runs in both the [...]
ST. LOUIS — John Smoltz couldn't have asked for a better debut with the Cardinals when he struck out nine and tossed five scoreless innings on Sunday in San Diego. He now gets to introduce himself to the home crowd, as he makes his first start at Busch Stadium as a Cardinal on Friday night [...]
ST. LOUIS — Another day and another win for Joel Pineiro and the St. Louis Cardinals. Pineiro gave up two runs in eight innings as the Cardinals won for the 10th straight time with him on the hill, beating the Astros, 3-2, on Wednesday night at Busch Stadium. The rolling Cardinals improved to 17-5 in [...]
ST. LOUIS — Ryan Franklin didn't exactly approve of Charlie Manuel's idea to move him to the bullpen when he was with the Phillies to start the 2006 season. "I didn't," Franklin recalls. "I didn't like it at all." But Manuel eventually convinced the veteran that he could be more effective and potentially extend his [...]
