Adam Wainwright has been having an up and down season. At times he has been great. Other times he has been awful.
Adam is still getting wins. He’s 11-5 to Carlos Martinez’s 6-8. Despite an ERA 2 runs higher (5.08 to 3.36). Thanks in part to leading all pitchers (min, 20 PA) in slugging (.444) and RBIs (10). Fun fact: Carlos is second in RBIs with 7. Continue reading “Notes From The Pine: Home Cooking with Adam Wainwright”
Ten years ago today, the Cardinals won game 7 of the NLCS on the back of a Yadi Molina bomb in the 9th and a Waino curveball to close it out.

Shelby essentially threw a perfect 27 outs after the Rockies leadoff man reached on a bloop broken single. He struck out 13, mostly with a fastball hanging around 94-95 mph. His first two strikeouts of the game were on nearly identical pitches freezing batters on both sides of the plate. Continue reading “The Weekends Dominant Starts of Shelby Miller and Adam Wainwright”
The Cardinals weekend went slightly better than the Blues, as the Birds took 2 of 3 from the Brewers and saw their consecutive scoreless innings streak reach 39 before Rosey gave up a 2-run shot to Braun. Then of course, Boggs couldn’t get it together after a bloop single to start the 9th. The Blues lost both weekend match-ups, dumping out against Columbus before losing to Chicago in a game where Elliot’s scoreless streak was snapped at 214 minutes. But it all started with Ryan Braun forgetting to keep running. On to the gifs. Continue reading “This Weekend In St. Louis Sports In GIFS – 4/14/13”
