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. My question to the group has already made the rounds, and there were some interesting (and some predictable) […]

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 […]

How fitting is it that nearly all candidates to take home the top pitcher of the year award have the Molina boys to thank in some way. CC has Jose and last year’s winner, Tim Linecum, plays catch with Bengie. While it is easy to put Carp and Wainer on a pedestal, enough isn’t said […]

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 […]

In the handful of hours since the Cardinals lost Game One of the NLDS to the Dodgers, the realization has set in that the Dodgers didn’t play much (if any) better than the hometown club. Sure, they had more timely hits – both with the bat and by the ball – than the Cards, but […]
