Days like today renew my interest in baseball. The Cards took a tough loss on the chin Saturday afternoon, they lost an opportunity to strike back yesterday because of weather, and today was a scheduled day off. I took the opportunity to listen to the Memphis Redbirds play in Oklahoma City versus the Redhawks. The […]

The Cardinals have made a move to bolster (???) their bullpen, in the wake of several rough outings for the season. Brian Barton, a Rule 5 draft selection a year ago, is headed to the Atlanta Braves for right-handed relief pitcher Blaine Boyer. Boyer hasn’t been a world-beater, but maybe Dave Duncan sees something he […]
With this unexpected two-day break in action for the Cardinals, how better to spend your time than catching up on odds and ends around the web – and then top it off with some minor league baseball? 1. A Cubs-based cemetery? Won’t it be filled up with all of the hopes of Cub fans and […]
I know, I know – here we go again. Many of you have no doubt read all of the things Tony has done wrong over at the STLToday.com Cards Talk forums. You know the routine over there – “the season is over,” “Tony must go,” “why didn’t they sign a closer?” – those type of […]

Is anyone else becoming mildly concerned about Adam Wainwright’s seemingly sudden inability to throw strikes? I know, small sample size and all, but the sample size continues to grow with no marked improvement. It should also be noted that he had this same problem in the spring, struggling to get in a groove and running […]

Today begins another chapter in the storied Cardinals-Cubs rivalry, and what better way to kick it off than renewing something that has quickly become a bit of a tradition at Pitchers Hit Eighth? I leave you with this, and go Cards!
We had a lot of fun on last night’s UCB Radio Hour. We were joined by Daniel from C70 at the Bat, Ryan from Prose and Ivy (a Cubs blog, but we don’t hold it against him), and Kathy from our featured blog of the week Redbird Chatter. As always, you can listen through iTunes […]
No, not *this* The Outfield, but rather the 2009 Cardinals outfield. What do you imagine Rick Ankiel was thinking to himself watching his mates bang around a bunch of hits yesterday while he continues to struggle at the plate? Colby Rasmus continues to look more comfortable at the plate, while flashing the leather in center […]

In light of Cardinal fans’ most recent Chicken Little moment, I present to you (in no particular order) the Top Ten Reasons that the Cardinals’ 2009 season is already over, only nine games in. Please note: *tongue firmly in cheek*. Because Ryan Ludwick is still on the bench. Because Yadier Molina has that silly yellow […]

What an outing by Todd Wellemeyer last night. Efficient, only 87 pitches through seven innings of work. He scattered some hits, but only allowed one run – and most importantly – only one walk. Gotta make Dave Duncan happy. This Cardinal staff is leading the National League in fewest walks allowed. —– Brian Barden got […]
