With Arte out in LA, does this have any impact on Alberts personal service contract? Does it give him an out?

I'm a Dodger fan who relocated from Southern California to the midwest earlier this year. I've been to every Dodger game within a 5 hour drive of my new home as an away fan this season, including the series at Busch back in May. There were giveaways for each game, and I have 2 extra of each of these: Masyn Winn Bobblehead, Cardinals Short-Sleeve Hoodie (XL), and Cardinals Blade-Collar Shirt (XL).

If anyone here is attending the STL @ LAD game on Wednesday and would like to trade their Ohtani ring giveaway for a set these items, please let me know. I've looked up how much these are going for online and the average price for the 2024 Ohtani ring and it seems like a fair enough trade, I think.

Everything is in its original packaging. I opened the lid of the bobbleheads just to see if either of them was the gold variant (they're not), but they have not been removed from the box.

I have to say the hoodie is pretty sick. My brother who was with us is a lifelong Cards fan and he wears his all the time.

My friend said this ball is still flying in 2026 and it has orbited the earth 3648 times so far.

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to refresh my daily rotation and want to know where you get your best Cardinals audio and video content.

Whether it's deep-dive analytical podcasts, post-game reaction shows, or entertaining fan-led programs, I want to hear about them.

Thanks in advance, and Go Cards!

St. Louis Cardinals left-handed 1B with at least 100 RBI, 21 HRs and a 135 OPS+ in a season: Stan Musial (1955-57) Johnny Mize (1937-40) Jim Bottomley (1925, 1928) Alec Burleson (2026)

Will be interesting what the corresponding moves are, and if Rainiel will get the call to AAA to end the season.

The story was too good. The best game I have ever been to personally was September 16, 2022. Yadi, Waino, and Pujols were there. The stadium was packed and everyone was standing during every Pujols at bat. Pujols hit career HR #698 to tie the game. Arenado made a ridiculous diving stop and threw out a base runner at home which Oli called “the best play I have ever seen”. To top it off, Helsley came in to close and threw an immaculate inning. I left that game with my family so thrilled and we were dreaming of winning it all with Pujols and Molina. Everything was just lining up to be the best ending… I stood the whole Wildcard… It still stings when I look at my bobble heads.

Surprise Over/Under (whoops)! Had some time on my hands and wanted to post this up.

Hey Everyone! Welcome back to the Cardinals Reddit Series Over/Under Contest! This season, each contest will be spread out between all games in each series. Each game will get 5 questions each, so there will be 10-20 questions per contest. This is all for fun and entertainment as we go through the season.

This is a semi-regular event that I will post as time allows. Scoring is much more time-consuming than posting questions - I’ll stay up to date on scoring the best I can, but it’ll likely be a bit behind.

Hello everyone, I’m interested in trading my *still packaged* St. Louis Cardinals Naruto Night jersey (LARGE) for a medium size. I honestly don’t care if it’s been opened as long as it’s “like new”-ish. I was waiting and saving for a long time to get those jerseys for my girlfriend and I so we could match just like she wanted when I took her to her first Busch Stadium game, especially since Naruto is one of her favorite shows. Right as I was about to buy the tickets however…my girlfriend’s mother bought them for us as my birthday present, but got 2 large sizes.

Don’t get me wrong, I am extremely grateful, but I cannot by any stretch of the imagination fit into a large size of *anything*. Despite being 5”10 I am thin and it just doesn’t work. I was going to just buy an extra ticket with the money I’d saved up originally to get myself the medium size and invite a mutual friend along with us, but my girlfriend suffered an acute medical emergency so I took her to the ER and they ended up admitting her to the hospital, and unfortunately she wasn’t discharged until yesterday, meaning much to her and I’s disappointment, we missed the game. (I did briefly go to the stadium exclusively to pick up the jerseys, then went back to the hospital, which is how I ended up getting our jerseys)

So not only was I unable to give my girlfriend her first experience at Busch stadium, but I also ended up having literally no money to buy that extra ticket with because to top it all off, in a complicated way I don’t really want to get into here, we got screwed and are going to have to pay 100% of the bill ourselves unless our financial aid applications go through. We are both college students working part time and taking classes full time so as you can imagine we don’t have much extra cash laying around.

So if you or anyone you know has a St. Louis Cardinals Naruto Night themed jersey in a MEDIUM size and are willing to trade for a large, please let me know. It would really mean a lot to both of us right now.

This Tai Peete home run got a ton of traction on X today and maybe even more discussion about the bat flip

Are you for the bat flip or against it?

Here's something cool: This author Tim Leong is a big St. Louis Cardinals fan, and a few years ago, he named an official planet in the Star Wars galaxy Cardota, in honor of the Cardinals.
