The last series before the Break takes the Cardinals to the Obnoxious Confines for a four-game-in-three-day set with the Cubs. As with Milwaukee, this is their second trip into Chicago, although their first trip here didn’t go as well; they lost 2 of 3 in that April series. Mostly Well-Known ...

It’s the All-Star Break and the St. Louis Cardinals are partying like it’s 1985. Literally. Instead of sporting retro powder blue jerseys, Cardinal starters and some position players are growing moustaches in true Tom Lawless and Todd Worrell fashion.
I guess when ...

Chicago Cub Carlos Zambrano (Cubbie Nation/file)
He sings. He dances. Tell jokes. Beats catchers with his bare hands. Pitches pretty well too, and even has been know to hit a bit. The latter two were on display Sunday, as Zambrano carried the Cubs to a 7-3 win over ...
The State of the Central: St. Louis
sheffieldshouse.blogspot.com 7/10/2009 — We're nearing the end of the our week long look at the NL Central, today's team is the St. Louis Cardinals and their awful, awful mustaches. Seriously, who thinks that would be a good idea, what's wrong with shaved heads and mullets? I guess they had to "70's porn star" it up a bit. St. Louis ...
This is What the Cubs Season Has Been Reduced To...
thecubreporter.com 9/14/2009 —
The St. Louis Cardinals magic number sits at 11 before game play started today. That means there is a slim shot they could be clinching against the Cubs this weekend. And whether they do it this weekend or next week or the last day of the season isn't really a big deal, but I'd rather avoid ...

Series Preview - Arizona
perfectknight.blogspot.com 7/16/2009 — The Cardinals open the second half of the season at home against Arizona. St Louis has owned the Diamondbacks since they joined the NL, beating them at an almost .600 clip; but they are barely .500 at home (22-20). Last year they took 3 of 4 at Busch. Unfortunately, Justin Upton usually plays ...
Watch out Cubs! Here Come the Cardinals —
Bleacher Report - MLB 7/10/2009
The rivalry between the Cubs and Cardinals is probably the oldest and best in baseball, no matter how the Red Sox and Yankees spit and spite at each other. That's a tabloid-fueled soap opera about money and ego and sound bites. That's a pair of ...
