From the monthly archives:
The UCB Preseason Roundtable discussions continue, with Deaner over at Cardinal Nation Globe posting today about choices for a franchise building block – Albert Pujols exempted.
Tomorrow features a great question from Josh at That’s A Winner – I won’t spoil it, but it’s very pertinent to the Cardinal outlook for coming years.

Once again the United Cardinal Bloggers undertake a Roundtable project, a way to pass the time during Spring Training while waiting for Opening Day.
We had the honor of leading off this time around, so here goes:
In light of the way the free agent market has progressed, do you think the Cards jumped the gun [...]

First, if you don’t read Joe Posnanski (that link is only his blog, you can find him in the KC Star, national pubs, etc), you must start. Poz is a brilliant writer, on many topics ranging from baseball to beyond.
Today’s topic from Posnanski on Sports Illustrated was particularly poignant for Cardinal fans. Poz addressed the [...]

If you missed part one yesterday, you can catch up before diving into today’s post.
Let’s get some simple numbers [...]

Strangely (or perhaps fittingly), our two-hundredth post arrives today, on a day that we begin our most aggressive undertaking in this site’s brief history.
Today marks the beginning of a three-part series here at Pitchers Hit Eighth (hopefully it is only three) taking an in-depth look into the Cardinals’ approach to defending the running game.

Ok, maybe only one blown call.
The arguments will rage on about the penalty disparities between the Steelers and Cardinals tonight (at least I hope, it was kind of silly until late in the game), but one call made by the officials tonight will stand out.
How could the NFL officials assigned to the replay booth in [...]
