Cardinals make no deals- shows confidence

Chalk me up as one that is okay with making no trade deadline deals. This team can make the playoffs without a deadline deal. 50 games to go, and tie for the wildcard. The Brewers have the Ned Yost factor, the Mets are too bi-polar, the Phillies have Charlie Manuel, and the Marlins are too […]

Cardinals/Padres Game two

After winning 4-3 yesterday the Cardinals look to continue their 8 game home stand with winning ways. Tonight, Greg Maddux, the future hall of famer will throw for the Padres, and be opposed by Cardinals righthander Braden Looper.
