GTBH 9/21/25: The Home Curtain Comes Down

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  We've seen the last of the Cardinals at Busch Stadium for 2025 and while there are still some more games, there was a lot of finality this weekend.  Miles Mikolas made his last start on the home mound, John Mozeliak watched his last games from the POBO suite, and Nolan Arenado walked off to a huge ovation without even playing.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about some of the endings and some of the beginnings, starting with Chaim Bloom and what he might do this winter.  How can Cardinal fans stay engaged when a rebuild is coming?  Let's find out together.

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  It was a very rough week for the Redbirds (well, not the Springfield ones) and Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) aren't terribly inclined to talk about it.  They do give some kudos to Miles Mikolas (of all people) while talking about the pitching problems next year may have.  Are we expecting too much from Chaim Bloom or will this actually be a busy offseason?  Plus Masyn Winn gets shut down, finally.  All that and more on this week's outing!

GTBH 8/31/25: New Faces, Same Blahs

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  The Cards took two of three from their closest wild card rival but splitting with Pittsburgh before that took a lot of wind out of the sails, if it was there to begin with.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about the flagging offense, what to watch for in September, and who the 2026 catcher might be among other things.  Spend your Labor Day with the guys!
