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 Sunday was a tough day for the Cardinals in Wrigley, all you have to say is "17-1" for fans to perk up. It actually was a very good week for the Redbirds as they started this hard push for the All-Star Break. Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about the issues from today's game as well as discussing the rebound of Jordan Walker, the resiliency of this team as a whole, and the tough week ahead for the Birds. There's also talk about the All-Star Game and David teases his draft podcast dropping on this channel soon!

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. With a little help from the Reds, the Cards finished off one of their rare sweeps this season, moving back to seven games above .500. David (@iPopEditor) was blacked out from most of it but that doesn't stop him and Daniel (@C70) from talking about the excitement of the team. What all will Lars Nootbaar bring to this team? Can they keep this going against the next part of the schedule which has some soft spots? The guys also talk about Oli Marmol's selection to the All-Star Game coaching staff as well as many other things. 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. As the Cardinals open their series with the Rangers, Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) look over the offense and find it wanting. Can the Cards keep winning if these struggles continue? Will the return of players like Lars Nootbaar and Nathan Church help? What about the moves the club made this week, can they be a spark? Daniel also talks about the Blogger and Podcaster Day that was held this weekend and some of the comments that Chaim Bloom made are intriguing but also could lead to some controversy in time. Lots of great stuff so give it a listen!

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. And that doesn't just stop at on the field but goes above it as well. The "Tarps Off" guys from Stephen F. Austin brought some energy and buzz to Busch Stadium this weekend and Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) give it the focus it deserves. Can the energy last? Would this have happened in the past? The guys also give kudos to the pitching staff, talk about irreplaceable players, and look ahead at the NL Central gauntlet. Give it a listen--shirt optional!

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. A series win in San Diego slipped through the Cardinals' fingers, but Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) are still encouraged by the .500 run against Milwaukee and the Padres. Can the offense get on track and will Lars Nootbaar's impending return help matters? The pitching--and especially Michael McGreevy--was strong this week. Can we trust it? Finally, Rainiel Rodriguez is on his way to Springfield. What should we expect from him? All that and much more!

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. Even though the Cards lost on Sunday, Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) were pretty pleased with the week that was. Was Monday night in Pittsburgh a real turning point to the team? Why is everyone concerned about Shohei Ohtani anyway? And will the NL Central please stop winning? It's been a great week and it's a fun show!

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. Last week, the Cards were flying high. This week, reality thumped them in the face. Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) spend a lot of time talking about the slumping bullpen, but the rotation and some of the bats (hello, Mr. Walker) get a little focus as well. It's not all been bad....just most of it, but we knew that going in. So was the winning a good thing or a bad thing?
