[Ed. note: Once or twice throughout the season, the United Cardinal Bloggers undertake a roundtable discussion via e-mail that involves and answers various questions from the bloggers taking part over the course of a few weeks. We’ve spent most of our writing time answering those questions and taking part in those discussions (gladly, I might […]
To wit: Wisconsin: 19 team fouls, 13-20 FT (mostly in garbage time) Illinois: 18 team fouls (mostly in garbage time), 20-23 FT …and I’m still pretty sure the Illini got jobbed by the refs. 🙂 —– In all seriousness, the Illini were just flat today – as they have been for a good portion of […]

As such, we can put together a list of the potential bonuses the Cardinals could stand to pay out at the end of the 2010 season to certain players if […]
The news is a bit old now, but the Cardinals have given former Chicago Cub and Baltimore Oriole Rich Hill a minor-league contract that carries a non-roster invitation to their big-league training camp. The general consensus is that Hill will compete with other internal options (Kyle McClellan, Jaime Garcia, Mitchell Boggs, P.J. Walters, maybe others) […]

Join us tomorrow, along with Daniel from C70 at the Bat, as we talk ball (among other things) with Kyle McClellan on the UCB Radio Hour podcast. The Cardinal pitcher will be joining us from Jupiter, FL where he is already gearing up for Spring Training. We’ll be sticking to a finite set of questions […]
The United Cardinal Bloggers‘ January project tasked us bloggers with putting together a Cardinals team made up of the best at each position, in our opinion, during the recently completed decade. Not really any other restrictions placed on this one, other than it was due on Friday. Oops. Better late than never.

The doldrums of winter, with no regular baseball to watch, generally lends itself to filling time with something other than writing – if for no other reason than a lack of things to write about. Here, that typically means futzing around with the site structure, engine, and appearance. To that end, I want to bring […]
