We run a quarterly literary journal about the St. Louis Cardinals and would love to hear your stories!
This weekend in Queens reminded me of when the #STLCards visited back in 1999 and Rick Croushore let up back to back a grand slam and solo home run turning a 6-1 lead into a 6-6 game.

I was at Game 3 of the 2009 NLDS with my friend The Boz. After Joe Thurston struck out, I turned to him and said, I think we just saw the last at bat of his MLB career.

I was wrong - he would get four at bats for the Marlins in 2011 - read about one “cursed” team

If you imagine Mike Matheny as a transcendental idealist, it’s easier to come to terms with some of his bizarre decisions - like the ones he made during Game 3 of the 2014 NLCS.

#STLCards had two bad losses yesterday, made me think what are the worst losses the team suffered between 1996-2016. Today, I profiled Mike Mayers major league debut: open.substack.com/pub/portionu...
