Gateway to Baseball Heaven: A St. Louis Cardinals Podcast

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 came out of the trade deadline gate firing on most cylinders, winning series against the Yankees and the Rockies.  Is that enough to get the playoffs hopes firing again?  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) debate that topic and if they are willing to get hurt again.  The guys also talk about Alec Burleson's role in the Cardinals future, wondering if he's a core player.  They are pretty sure Matthew Liberatore is not one, but what does the future hold for him?  Then they gush on the minors a bit and deal with a hard question.  Come join us!

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  While the Cards are playing the Yankees (but before the big offensive explosion), Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) get together to ignore all that and focus on the chaos that was the MLB trade deadline.  Some players didn't get moved (Ryne Stanek, which caused angst before the show was done, and any catcher) but otherwise the departures were as expected.  The returns were incredible, though, as Chaim Bloom continues to show that he not only has an amazing eye for talent but he's able to do what it takes to acquire it.  Where do the new guys rank and how will they fit in?  The guys tackle that as best they can as they salute those that left and get excited about the new.  Way to go, Chaim!
