September 08, 2025 STOP THE TANK: Cardinals Can Flip 2026 Fast (Here’s How)
Bernie lays out why the St. Louis Cardinals don’t need a years-long teardown to make 2026 compelling... and maybe even flirt with contention.
What Bloom’s Tampa DNA means for STL, why selective spending beats splashy checks, the moves that could spark a busy winter, and which names might be in play.

September 05, 2025 Whiteyball Weekend: 1985 Redbirds Return, Yadi’s Back & Jocketty Enshrined
The good old days of St. Louis baseball are back for a weekend: the 1985 Cardinals are being honored, Walt Jocketty, Edgar Rentería, and Al Hrabosky enter the Cardinals Hall of Fame, and Yadier Molina joins the dugout as a coach.
Bernie lays out why the Whiteyball era was not just successful but historically unique — from 314 steals in 1985 to the most steals by any MLB team in a decade (1980s) — and connects that identity to why the 2025 Cardinals feel flat (low speed and low power).
He also makes the case for giving John Mozeliak real credit for the 2011 World Series, then zooms out: since 1982, the franchise sits among baseball’s elite in wins and October appearances.

September 04, 2025 Border War Is BACK: Why Mizzou–Kansas Still Hits Different!
Mizzou–Kansas is back, and this one means something.
Bernie dives into why this rivalry hits on a deeper level—from “Bleeding Kansas” to Devine vs. Rodgers, Norm vs. Roy, and the 2007 Daniel–Reesing classic at Arrowhead—then breaks down Saturday’s matchup in Columbia: Mizzou’s defensive speed, KU’s offensive line, Jalon Daniels’ (KU) road splits, and how the Tigers’ weapons and quarterback mobility change the math.

September 03, 2025 Cardinals Publicly CHALLENGE Jordan Walker
Bernie reacts to St. Louis Cardinals hitting coach Brant Brown and manager Oli Marmol speaking candidly about Jordan Walker.
Brown says Walker must “devote more focus on preparation,” admits they’ve “played a massive game of tennis” between what Walker feels he needs and what he really needs, and stresses a need for “full commitment” and being “a little bit more uncomfortable.”
Marmol adds there are “adjustments to be made” and a stronger commitment to the pregame work. Bernie dives into Walker’s two-year numbers, compares tall-hitter comps, tells the Albert Pujols–Brant Brown story, and asks what Chaim Bloom should do next: trade, reset, or double down.

September 02, 2025 Cardinals EMBARRASSED at Busch: Is This Rock Bottom?
The Cardinals just gave St. Louis a hard look at what a real rebuild feels like: strikeouts piling up, starters getting shelled, a thin bullpen, and a lineup peppered with Triple-A bats.
Bernie breaks down the weekend losses to the Reds and A’s, Sonny Gray’s post-ASB slide, why the Cards are losing the fastball arms race, and what a “low-and-slow” Chaim Bloom rebuild truly means for 2026 and beyond.

August 29, 2025 Cardinals Baseball Is OUTDATED: Why This Rebuild Must Be Different
The 2025 St. Louis Cardinals are somehow only three games under .500, but don’t let that fool you. Bernie Miklasz breaks down why this team is fundamentally broken, failing at the most basic element of baseball: the fastball.
From one of the worst offenses in the last 30 years of Cardinals baseball, to a historically bad starting rotation, Bernie explains why the Cardinals’ outdated philosophy and lack of power pitching/hitting put them miles behind the rest of MLB.
It’s not just about wins and losses in 2025, it’s about whether Chaim Bloom and his staff can truly modernize a rotting foundation and bring St. Louis baseball back to relevance.

August 28, 2025 Why Mizzou Will SHOCK the SEC in 2025
Bernie dives into Missouri football’s 2025 season outlook, breaking down why this year’s Tigers might be Eli Drinkwitz’s best team yet. From quarterback depth to impact transfers, a stacked defense, and one of the SEC’s easiest schedules, Bernie explains why Mizzou is set up for another big run.
Despite back-to-back double-digit win seasons, Mizzou was picked just 12th in the SEC preseason poll and left out of the Top 25, Bernie calls out the national disrespect and lays out why the Tigers are built to prove people wrong.

August 27, 2025 Busch Stadium Is EMPTY! What It REALLY Says About Cardinals Fans
The St. Louis Cardinals are facing their lowest attendance rankings in decades, falling to 19th in MLB. Bernie Miklasz digs into the history of Busch Stadium crowds, what it means for a rebuilding Cardinals team, and whether fans truly have the patience for the process.
Bernie defends Cardinals Nation, compares today’s numbers to other MLB franchises, and explains why the timing of Chaim Bloom’s rebuild may actually work in the team’s favor.

August 26, 2025 Willson Contreras LOSES IT: Meltdown, Bat Toss & Suspension Coming?
Willson Contreras stole the show Monday night, for all the wrong reasons. After being ejected, the St. Louis Cardinals catcher lost his cool, charged the umpire, hurled his gear, and even flung a bat that struck hitting coach Brant Brown.
Bernie Miklasz dives into the meltdown, the fan/media reactions, what MLB discipline could look like, and why Contreras’ passion is both his strength and his downfall.
Plus: why Alec Burleson deserves love for both cleaning up Contreras’ mess (literally) and delivering the walk-off homer that saved the Cardinals from a crushing loss.

August 25, 2025 Will Cardinals Fans Have Patience With Chaim Bloom’s Rebuild?
Bernie Miklasz dives deep into the future of the St. Louis Cardinals under Chaim Bloom, who will soon take over as President of Baseball Operations.
Will Cardinals fans stay patient through the rebuild, or will the pressure mount quickly? Bernie examines:
• Why Bloom isn’t John Mozeliak (and why that matters)
• STL’s falling attendance and “Mozeliak fatigue”
• Bloom’s track record in Tampa Bay and Boston
• Why smart player development matters more than payroll size
• How long it could realistically take the Cardinals to contend again
Do Cardinals fans trust the process? Or will patience run out?
