I've written about the Cardinals since 2003, and here since 2008.
I've spent most of my life in Springfield, Illinois, where you can see all manners of things, including, somehow, a small airport, named after Abraham Lincoln. I went to school at the University of Missouri, where there is a statue of Beetle Bailey.

The St. Louis Cardinals' new, sportswriter-fantasy offense
I kind of like home runs, personally, but I could get used to this line-drives-everywhere thing.

Lance Lynn, the other Cardinals starter in the middle of a career year.

Cardinals at Mets Open Thread: Michael Wacha vs. Jeremy Hefner
I should probably know Jeremy Hefner is a real person by now.
With these St. Louis Cardinals, it's perfectly okay that Kolten Wong is blocked
Kolten Wong is having a great season that has not gotten him any closer to the St. Louis Cardinals' starting second base gig, and that's perfectly okay.
Cardinals at Reds Open Thread: Tyler Lyons vs. Mat Latos
The Tyler Lyons experience continues.
Vince Coleman, the St. Louis Cardinals, and the Galapagos Tortoises of Astroturf
Topps wants us to write about '80s baseball players, so I wrote about the most '80s baseball player.
Diamondbacks at Cardinals Open Thread: Wade Miley vs. Joe Kelly
Joe Kelly! Remember that guy?
Diamondbacks at Cardinals Open Thread: Tyler Skaggs vs. Michael Wacha
Let Michael Wacha into your heart.
Trevor Rosenthal is even better than we thought he was (and still in the bullpen)
A slow start and Edward Mujica's timely appearance have masked it, but Trevor Rosenthal is having a remarkable season for the St. Louis Cardinals. But where should he be having it?
The St. Louis Cardinals break glass, press the Michael Wacha button
Once you call Michael Wacha up, it's hard to send him down.
Cardinals at Royals Open Thread: Tyler Lyons vs. Ervin Santana
The biggest difference between the old Cardinals and the new Cardinals: The old Cardinals would have been the ones starting Ervin Santana in this game.
Michael Wacha is the St. Louis Cardinals' next starter, whether he should be or not
Michael Wacha is going to join the St. Louis Cardinals' rotation after nine starts in Memphis.
MLB Scores: Yadier Molina hits the St. Louis Cardinals past Royals on Memorial Day
Yadier Molina isn't as interesting a story as the St. Louis Cardinals' inexhaustible supply of pitchers, but he's even more crucial.
Play the St. Louis Cardinals rotation graveyard-whistling home game
How many starts will each member of the St. Louis Cardinals' rotation end the season with?

Pete Kozma, Ty Wigginton, and the question Ryan Jackson actually answers
The Cardinals have a decision to make at shortstop, and it's both difficult and not especially consequential.

Randy Choate's three years will fly by.
Mets at Cardinals Open Thread: Dillon Gee vs. John Gast
If John Gast picks somebody off tonight, this is going to be a very loud gamethread.
Toward a Unified Theory of Ty Wigginton
The St. Louis Cardinals signed Ty Wigginton because the slower he gets, the more like Ty Wigginton he becomes.
Scott Kazmir's unlikely comeback (and comebacks in general)
The Cleveland Indians got a 10-strikeout game out of Scott Kazmir. The more impressive thing was just how much like Scott Kazmir he looked.
How soon could the St. Louis Cardinals do better than Pete Kozma?
The St. Louis Cardinals don't need to do better than Pete Kozma right now, so when will they do better than Pete Kozma?
Cardinals at Brewers Open Thread: Adam Wainwright vs. Yovani Gallardo
Adam Wainwright looks to keep his seasonal K:BB ratio over 14.
