By Administrator In 1957, due to the start of coast to coast travel, major league baseball considered a plan to create a player pool to be used in the event of a plane crash.

Joe, do you believe the Cardinals have a "plan B" concerning a closer. Last year Franklin was great most of the year but he had a lot of problems down the stretch. While Motte, and Boggs seem to be the most frequently mentioned "plan B" names, for what its worth I kind of like Kyle McCllellan as a c...

By Derrick Goold 30- TOWER GROVE — The St. Louis Cardinals thought enough of the talent available in the pool of international free agents this past summer to basically pass on the year before. Rather than blow the budget in 2007, they wanted to have the cash to contend for players in 2008.

By Jim McLennan But Johnson gave up an infield hit to his opposing number (his effort to field it was somewhat feeble. it must be said) who then scored on a double.

Not a bad haul. I give it a B+. As I review the two days of action in the 2008 NFL draft, as well as the pick up’s in free agency immediately after the draft, it is obvious there has been a major change in philosophy in the Cardinals draft and how they approach it. Last year gave a minor indication of th...

By Josh Martin That’s all I have to say about that… I haven’t been this upset at the St. Louis Cardinals in a LONG time.

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...
