Yep, that’s right, Pitchers Hit Eighth has reached the 600 Post Club. I’m not sure what that means, if anything, other than Dennis has been writing a lot lately. Dennis’ post “Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the B12 Bobbleheads” this morning was number 600. Consequently, the “milestone” offers me the opportunity to thank Dennis […]
Maybe I’m the only one who feels this way. Maybe I’m not enough of a baseball historian, and what follows could certainly brand me as such. Amongst all of the bickering, name-calling, and endless columns, posts, and Twitter sniping about who belonged in the Hall of Fame from the 2011 ballot – Jack Morris versus […]

I’m sorry. I know you’re ready to move on, and so am I. But first, I wanted to address Dennis’ post from Friday – The Fall Guy. I started to gather my thoughts for a well-written response as a comment to that post, but it quickly became clear it was going to be too long-winded […]

Don’t let the title run you off just yet, I promise I’m going to make sense of it. I’m going to piggy-back a bit on what Dennis wrote this morning, because either we were reading the same things yesterday or great minds just think alike. Now, I know I’ve been a bit scarce in this […]
A little later than scheduled, I finally posed my question to the United Cardinal Bloggers for the Fall Roundtable discussions: It would appear as if the Tony La Russa Era is soon coming to a close, but in MLB terms he’s had a unusually long run managing in St. Louis. As we all know, that […]

I have had a hard enough time keeping up with with the Cardinals in late 2010 and into the off-season much less trying to watch much “other” baseball. Thankfully, the tools at the disposal of an otherwise occupied blogger (FanGraphs, Baseball-Reference, Twitter) are more than enough to formulate the PH8 ballot for the BBA National […]

This Thursday past, September 16th, I was afforded the opportunity to tag along with some fellow bloggers as a guest of Fox Sports Midwest to the Cardinals’ game against the Padres that evening. The game was fantastic, but far from the highlight of the evening (even though the Cards won, an increasing rarity). Daniel of […]

I realize this probably isn’t a novel thought for most of you, but this team’s tailspin in August and September has been truly epic. To wit: The Cards have played .333 ball since the “season-turning sweep” in Cincinnati (well, it was, just not in the direction we all thought). That’s a 10-20 clip over the […]
I dug back into my podcast-rambling bag of tricks tonight and joined Daniel from C70 at the Bat and Mike from Stan Musial’s Stance on the United Cardinal Bloggers’ Radio Hour tonight. I managed to hop on the line just in time to ask a few questions of the night’s special guest, Matt Sebek from […]
