Once again the United Cardinal Bloggers are undertaking our fall Roundtable discussions via e-mail. Josh will be moderating a discussion on a question of his own in a few days, so keep an eye out for that.

As Josh mentioned yesterday, we are embarking upon a month-long (or so) series of report cards for the 2009 Cardinals, and he kicked it off with his grades at the catcher position yesterday. Now it’s my turn. Yadier Molina Yadi has long been well regarded in big league circles as an outstanding defensive catcher, one […]

Josh and I were scheduled for a half-hour UCB Radio show tonight. So naturally, with some help from Daniel over at C70 at the Bat, we managed to turn it into an hour plus. Topics focused on, well, Albert Pujols’ arthroscopic debridement, a contract extension for Mang, and a few other choice conspiracy theories (done […]

Fancy that, one year ago Cardinal fans (or at least, yours truly) were concerning themselves about a contract extension for Albert Pujols. We raised the question about when to approach Pujols and with how much during the 2008 UCB Off-season Roundtable. Many of the responses were similar to “give him whatever he wants.” Now that […]
File this one under “can’t make this stuff up.”
First, Derek Zumsteg of USS Mariner, a great blog devoted to following (shocking I know) the Seattle Mariners, has developed a “2nd Guesser” app for the iPhone. Those of you who watch the Cardinals (or any other team for that matter), or need help making decisions while managing your Little League team, etc – check […]

There was an excellent letter to the editor at STLToday.com yesterday that I felt obliged to share with you, not only because I think it’s a fitting tribute to this past season’s Cardinal team – despite the unsavory finish – but also because it sums up a lot of the sentimentality I feel toward the […]
