St. Louis Cardinals

Adam Wainwright is a star pitcher with the Cardinals, but in the winter he returns to the town where he grew up, a town, he says, where the people haven't changed.

Cardinals pitchers Adam Wainwright and Chris Carpenter are the top candidates to win the NL Cy Young Award this week. Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold asked each to write why his teammate should win.

By Administrator In 1988, Dodgers World Series hero Kirk Gibson edged out Met outfielders Darryl Strawberry and Kevin McReynolds for the National League MVP Award. In 2000, A’s first baseman Jason Giambi (.333, 43, 137) won the American League MVP Award edging out two-time winner White Sox first baseman F...

By Administrator In 2000, Red Sox hurler Pedro Martinez (18-6,1.74) became the first pitcher in history to win the American League Cy Young Award unanimously in consecutive years… including his NL Cy Young Award win in 1997, he had won the ‘top pitcher’ honor in three of four seasons.

By Teddy Mitrosilis As Cardinal’s General Manager John Mozeliak is now learning, that’s fantasyland. With McGwire back in a major league dugout next spring, the Cardinals are trying to come up with a plan to introduce their new hitting coach and deal with all the questions in one big swoop.

Scott Bordow: The press conference was over. Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt had answered every question after Arizona’s 41-21 victory over the Chicago Bears Sunday, and the reporters stood up to collect their tape recorders. But Whisenhunt wasn’t finished.

By Barry Petchesky •Jaguars 24, Chiefs 21. Tell me again how much money did KC give Matt Cassel? But when Chris Chambers and Lance Long are your top targets, there's not a heck of a lot you can do. Mike Sims-Walker had 147 yards receiving, and the Jaguars are somehow a .500 team.

By athooks Matt Holliday is going to get a monster contract from someone. If he wanted to be a Cardinal, he would be a Cardinal. But he’s politely deffered any iota of commitment to anyone- meaning he can be wooed. And when it comes to wooing, the Cardinals front office pretty much relies on us. The fans.

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Josh Hancock was drunk and talking on his cellphone at the time of his fatal accident, and marijuana was found in the sport utility vehicle he was driving.

The Cardinals were among an estimated 500 mourners for Josh Hancock, who died in an automobile accident early Sunday.

A day after the death of Josh Hancock, the St. Louis Cardinals tried to move on. They had a game to play.

ST. LOUIS Josh Hancock, a relief pitcher who helped the St. Louis Cardinals win the World Series last season, died early Sunday when his sport utility vehicle slammed into the back of a tow truck.

Last season, the Cardinals claimed the NL Central flag with only 83 wins. Sure, they went on to win the World Series, but the '06 Cardinals remain, in any objective sense, a fairly middling outfit. In fact, since divisional play was instituted prior to the 1969 season, only the 2005 Padres an...
