and witness the burning issue for the St. Louis Cardinals (the
Cards for short) has lately become a stadium question.
Since, the team has had a full year in the stadium, they
are going to introduce some changes to their main sports
arena. For example, they are going in for adding a new
escalator in right field, putting in down some seats by
the field, improving the drainage on the field etc.

Some changes will also be made to the team’s rooster.
Some say that Rico Washington and Amuary Marti are
coming back this season. However, it looks like Spring
Training will be tough for both. The S. Louis Cardinals
have plenty of candidates to play in the outfield, after
all. At the same time, there can be some at-bats for
Marti owing to the injuries that some outfield players
have lately received. As for Washington, he is
considered to be a less prospective player and more
suitable for playing for Minor League teams. Of course,
he has been quite successful at Double-A, but, for some
reason, never at Triple-A. Besides, his age (he will
turn 29 this year) worsens his chances.
It can also be a possibility that Jeff Weaver will
leave the team. In this case, some players will be
shifted to other gaming positions; Adam Wainwright will
probably be moved to the rotation, and Braden Looper is
most likely to become a closer until Jason Isringhausen
returns. However, much depends on the day when Jason
will be able to pitch and train. If he is not pitching
for more than a month before Opening Day, Wainwright
will most probably be back to the bullpen.
The Cardinals’ Opening Day is expected on Sunday
(April,1) when they will compete with the New York Mets.
It looks like it will be a very promising match, which
is not to be missed. Vivid Seats has a vast selection of

If you are a bird watcher, then it
should be easy for you to recognize a Northern Cardinal
bird as it perches somewhere in your garden. The
cardinal got its name from the Catholic Church Cardinals
because its feathers are nearly the same shade as the
cardinal's robe. This bird is very popular in the United
States. St. Louis Cardinals, one of major league
baseball teams, uses the bird as its mascot.
Furthermore, the cardinal has been named as the state
bird in seven states. Since this bird is very popular,
it is not surprising to find out that many people are
interested to place a cardinal bird house in their
garden.
In honor of last year's Major League
Baseball All Star Game in St. Louis, Missouri, home of
the St. Louis Cardinals, I thought I'd tell the tale of
one of the most famous contracts of all time, Jackie
Robinson's signing by the Brooklyn Dodgers to break the
baseball color barrier, and the Cardinal players'
planned strike that never happened, a phantom from
another era.
The Detroit Tigers have won
the World Series four times. They won in 1935 against
the Chicago Cubs, in 1945 against the Chicago Cubs, in
1968 against the St. Louis Cardinals, and in 1984
against the San Diego Padres. They lost the World Series
six times, in 1907, 1908, 1909, 1934, 1940 and 2006.
The St. Louis Cardinals have
won the World Series 10 times. They are second only to
the New York Yankees in World Series victories. Here are
the Cards' wins:
The Dodgers have a better record and
the Phillies are defending World Series champs, but you
have to wonder if the St. Louis Cardinals might be the
best baseball team in the National League.
On top of this, the St. Louis
Cardinals pitching staff has a great deal of support
from guys like Joel Pineiro, Kyle Lohse, and now even
John Smoltz, who has seen a revival after coming to the
Cards from Boston.
While the Yankees seem to be the
favorite in the American League playoffs, everyone knows
that just about anything can happen when it comes to
baseball in October. I don't think anyone can surely
predict what goes on from here, though we can do our
best to speculate. While I do believe that the Yankees
will come through in the American League, I'd like to
quickly look at the National League. Who will end up
making it to the World Series? Will it be the quiet but
dangerous Dodgers? The streaky hot Colorado Rockies? The
defending World Series champion Philadelphia Phillies?
Or should we not forgot about the St. Louis Cardinals,
who just won the World Series only three seasons ago.
The Minnesota Twins have won
the World Series a total of three times, first as the
Washington Senators and then after moving to Minnesota
to become the Twins. They won in 1924, as the Washington
Senators, against the New York Giants; in 1987, as the
Minnesota Twins, against the St. Louis Cardinals; and in
1991 against the Atlanta Braves. The team lost as the
Senators in 1925 and 1933 and as the Twins in 1965.
- the first World Series in 1903 against the
Pittsburgh Pirates,
- in 1912 against the New York Giants,
- 1915 against the Philadelphia Phillies,
- 1916 against the Brooklyn Robins (later the
Dodgers),
- 1918 against the Chicago Cubs,
- 2004 against the St. Louis Cardinals, and
- 2010 against the Colorado Rockies.
Can the Cardinals win the World
Series this year? After a remarkable run in 2006 that
gave the franchise its first World Series in over 20
years, the St. Louis Cardinals have been absent from the
post season during the last two seasons of baseball. One
has to wonder if part of the reason for the team's
regression may have to do with the fact that Chris
Carpenter, the team's ace, missed nearly two full
seasons with injury in 2010 and 2008.
The Boston Braves set up another
minor league farm club in the Interstate League, using
the Allentown Dukes name. Fairview Field, now known as
Earl F. Hunsicker Bicentennial Park was specifically
built for the new Allentown Dukes, and in their first
season at Fairview Field, the Dukes won their league's
championship. The 1940 season brought a number of
changes - the first being that the Interstate League's
status was upgraded from class C to class B, and the
Dukes became an affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Dukes then changed their name to the Fleetwings.
After a number of changing major league affiliations -
at one point the Phillies and the Cardinals could claim
having a team in Allentown - the Allentown team was
renamed yet again to the Allentown Cardinals. When the
Interstate League folded in 1952, the Allentown
Cardinals managed to join the newly formed Eastern
League, winning the league championship in 1955 and then
folding. But in 1957, the Syracuse Chiefs moved their
franchise to Allentown before being replaced shortly
thereafter by a Red Sox affiliate, known as the
Allentown Red Sox. The Allentown Red Sox played a couple
of seasons at a relatively new stadium in nearby
Whitehall Township before leaving in 1960. The stadium
was demolished and later became the site of the Lehigh
Valley Mall.
With a leading candidate for the 2009
Cy Young award in Chris Carpenter and another top major
league pitcher in Adam Wainwright, the St. Louis
Cardinals most definitely have those two pitchers. Each
pitcher has an ERA well within the 2 range, and each has
been a top five National League pitcher through the
course of the season.
The Kansas City Royals have
been to the World Series twice. They beat the St. Louis
Cardinals in 1985, after losing the Series in 1980.
- 1910, as the Philadelphia Athletics, against the
Chicago Cubs,
- 1911 against the New York Giants,
- 1913 against the New York Giants,
- 1929 against the Chicago Cubs,
- 1930 against the St. Louis Cardinals,
- 1972, after moving to Oakland, against the
Cincinnati Reds,
- 1973 against the New York Mets,
- 1974 against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and
- 1989 against the San Francisco Giants.
Baseball is also a game with its own
terms. No-hitter is one of them. This is describes a
particular player who prevents the other team from
making a hit and is commonly expected of a pitcher. Not
all of them have this ability but the St. Louis
Cardinals pitchers did. They had nine of them who were
able to make 10 no-hitters. If you want to know them,
