Posted on April 10, 2012 by

I’ll admit that it’s hard to think objectively here. As you all well know, I’m a Cards homer through and through. And while I thought long and hard about picking Cincinnati to win the division, I just can’t seem to … Continue reading →

Posted on October 28, 2011 by

MLB Thoughts: August 13, 2010
