Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. In the midst of Doubleheaderpalooza, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) find time to talk about this first place Cardinals team and, for once, really have nothing to complain about. They talk about the revitalized offense, the rotation that's keeping the team in the games, and the club's ability to rally. Keep giving us the good stuff, Cardinals!

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 good Sunday, as the Cards completed their second four-game sweep of the season and the Cubs and Brewers both lost, giving them a 2.5 game cushion (4.5 over Milwaukee) in the division. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) go over all the ups and downs of this team, looking particularly at Michael Wacha's usage, Matt Carpenter's week and what his strong Sunday means, and Jack Flaherty's dominance. The birds look to be taking off. Let's see how far they fly.

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 sweep of the Pirates over the weekend didn't completely salve the feelings of Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) about this team. Can they beat the better teams or are they only able to handle the lesser squads? Did Lane Thomas do enough on Sunday to get to stay in the outfield or will we still see plenty of Tommy Edman out there? Is it really wise to run Michael Wacha out again the next time the team needs a fifth starter? It's not necessarily an upbeat show--there are still flaws with this team--but it's better than before the weekend began!

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. Fair warning, this is not an upbeat show this week, as Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) spend a lot of time talking about the lack of activity at the trading deadline by the Cardinal front office. Can the lack of activity be defended? Where does the blame lie? How frustrating was it to see nothing happen? The results on the field have caused their own frustration, as the Cards have slipped to 1 1/2 games out after losing three of four since the deadline. There's talk about Matt Carpenter, Lane Thomas, Harrison Bader, Yairo Munoz, Randy Arozarena, Tommy Edman, and much, much more. Get comfy, these two have a few things to get off their chests!

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 dropped their last two to the Astros, that was the first series they'd lost since the All-Star Break. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) talk about how the team is performing and what the expectations for it may be before diving into roster issues, most notably that looming trade deadline. With Marcus Stroman (apparently) off the board, both Daniel and Tara have one main focus. Who might it be? There's also talk about players getting healthy and how that might work. Come for the talk, stay for the Tara rant!

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 both series they played this week and showed some resiliency while doing so. Is this a new look for the Cards or more a function of the teams they are playing? Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) debate that as well as what happens when Matt Carpenter returns to the team, how concerning is Carlos Martinez in the ninth inning, and whether John Mozeliak will make a move before the end of the month. 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. Except this week, when you get three of them. Allen Medlock (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) joins Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) as they break down all the happenings of the ninth annual Blogger Day event at Busch Stadium. The event had a different flavor this year, partly due to the setup, partly due to the team. Is Harrison Bader at risk? Did the Cardinals err in their new offensive curriculum? Does Tara gloat in her #bombsaway trifecta? You'll have to listen to find out! (But yes, she totally does.)

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 ended their long road trip with a whimper, losing a game in which they allowed only two hits (one of which was questionable) and going 4-5 on the West Coast. Is anything changing about this team? Can anything change? Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) talk about Jack Flaherty's good start and whether it'll continue, who the most reliable starter will be, and what John Mozeliak and company can do to make this team better, if anything. Spend your All-Star Break with 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. This week, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) don't have a lot of wins to talk about, but the one they do have is the most recent game. That doesn't necessarily mitigate all this issues this team is having and both are a little tired of "it'll happen" talk. Mike Shildt's comments this week, while not as inflammatory as some think, caused a little irritation as well. Plus there's discussion about Jordan Hicks and what things are like now that he has had Tommy John surgery. Buckle up for another frank discussion!

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 lovefest this weekend in St. Louis as Albert Pujols returned to the Gateway City and both Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) loved seeing El Hombre back at Busch and the reaction from the fans, the players, and everyone involved. There are a lot of good memories that Pujols brings back. Will the Cardinals ever have that sort of transformative player again? Can they find someone to lift them out of their doldrums? What can be done about this team and how far up does this same-old-same-old go? The good feelings don't last forever and there are some tough questions to be asked. Listen in to see what you think!
