St. Louis Cardinals

The altercation occurred in the eight inning, after three days of tense competition between the two National League teams.

The St. Louis Cardinals made MLB history by becoming the first team with five Gold Glove winners in a single season.

As the Cubs talk openly about an extension for David Ross, their biggest rival is looking for a new manager.

This game was too close for comfort. Chris Taylor stood at home plate, mobbed by his teammates, hugs all around. The over 53,000 in attendance were doing the same; leaping in the air, high-fiving, and screaming with exultation all around. Taylor had just crushed a two-out, two-run, walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the…

With their season on the brink the Padres had an ace up their sleeve. Yu Darvish made arguably his best start of the season on Saturday night in St. Louis, blanking the Cardinals for 7.0 innings in a game the Padres absolutely had to win to keep their dwindling playoff hopes alive. Then the bullpen took over and it all…

When the Padres woke up on Friday morning they were in St. Louis, about to start a 3-game series against the Cardinals, the team they trail by a half game for the 2nd and final National League Wild Card spot. They went to sleep with two teams between them and a return trip to the playoffs. The Padres lost 8-2…

The last time the Padres swept the Cardinals was September of 2012. When they started a 3-game series on Friday night at Petco Park, St. Louis had won 15 of their last 20 games while the Padres were missing four starters, their top reserve outfielder, and their best left-handed relief pitcher. That’s not exactly a recipe for a sweep. The…

Baseball is a funny game. The Padres played the Cardinals at Petco Park on Saturday night. With five of their main position players unavailable due to COVID-19 restrictions the Padres were missing guys who’ve hit 19 of their 36 home runs this season. They were facing Adam Wainwright. In 82.1 career innings against the Padres, Wainwright had allowed a grand…

On Friday night at Petco Park the Padres opened a 3-game series against the Cardinals, the team with the best record in the National League. The Friars knew they didn’t have their top bench player (Jorge Mateo) or utility guy (Jurickson Profar), a pair of All-Stars (Eric Hosmer and Wil Myers), or one of the consensus top-5 talents in...

Hall of Famer Bob Gibson, the dominating St. Louis Cardinals pitcher who won seven consecutive World Series starts and set a modern standard for excellence when he finished the 1968 season with an earned run average of 1.12, has died

The Cardinals had one of their best starting pitchers, fully rested, on the mound to start Game 3. The Padres had a guy who hadn’t started a Major League ballgame since 2010 on the mound to start the decisive meeting of their National League Wild Card series. Somehow, some way, San Diego got it done with a 4-0 win to…

Almost by the process of elimination, the Padres are going to hand the ball to 36-year-old reliever Craig Stammen.

They’ve been making comebacks all season long. Tonight’s 11-9 come-from-behind win may be the beginning of their best comeback yet. The Padres lost game one of their Wild Card Series 7-4 to the Cardinals, and trailed 6-2 in the sixth inning Thursday night. After a listless start to the postseason the Padres finally got a spark in the sixth...

In their post-season history the Padres have only lost to one National League team. They beat the Cubs, Astros (when they were in the NL) and Braves the only times played them. And then we have the Cardinals. San Diego has made three appearances against St. Louis and lost all three, winning just one game. Unless the Friars take two…

In their long-awaited return to the postseason, the Padres were faced with adversity before they got a chance to take the field. Recent injuries to their top starting pitchers, Dinelson Lamet (biceps tightness) and Mike Clevinger (elbow impingement) made their status uncertain for San Diego’s Wild Card Series against St. Louis. On the morning of game one, we learned...

For the first time in 14 years the Padres get to play a post-season game. The team they played the last time they went to the playoffs is the team that’s waiting for them this time. The Cardinals earned the National League’s #5 seed on the final day of the regular season. In their three previous post-season meetings St. Louis…

The Padres franchise has made five trips to the post-season. Twice they went to the World Series. The other three times they were knocked out in the first round by the Cardinals. As Yogi Berra said, it’s like deja-vu all over again. San Diego will host St. Louis in the best-of-3 National League Wild Card playoff series starting Wednesday...

Hall of Famer Lou Brock, the dynamic leadoff hitter and base stealer who helped the St. Louis Cardinals win three pennants and two World Series in the 1960s, has died at 81
