Current Cardinals

I had planned to put this up this morning and never found the time. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your viewpoint), it now serves as a great distraction from the late innings of Game One between the Cards and Dodgers out at Chavez Ravine. Assembled below is a wide-ranging smorgasboard of links culled from across […]

Without a doubt this is a list in flux, and I presume that’s the case for more folks than just yours truly. Last season’s list bore little resemblance to what it would’ve been in mid-July of this season, and neither of those would match with the list below. Even my late posting of this list […]

Why Not Wednesday

Since I’m still fairly new to the UCB, I haven’t had the chance to comment much on the group. Everyone has been busy given the time of year (school, kids, work), but the projects are always top notch. This month is no exception, even though we here at PH8 are late to the party. The […]

Rescue Us

Who would have thought Todd Wellemeyer would be starting again, this year or ever as a Cardinal? St. Louis now puts the first losing streak in seemingly forever on the broad shoulders of the Toddalion.  Of course, the Florida Marlins are trying to stay in the NL Wild Card hunt and don’t really care who […]

For those of you not aware, Fox Sports Midwest has hosted live blogs/chats during many Cardinal games this season, in conjunction with their television broadcasts. The Fox Sports team and Brian Walton from The Cardinal Nation/Scout.com moderate the chats and do a great job. Join the discussion with the Fox folks and other Cardinal fans […]

Shaq versus Albert Pujols

by on September 1, 2009 · 1 comment

While the Cardinals and Brewers were going back and forth toward putting up four runs a piece heading into the seventh inning (yes, I tuned in just in time to see Matt Holliday’s three-run jack) tonight, I was finishing up some work around the house, dinner, and feeding my curiosity with the Shaq Vs. television […]

A fun way to waste time

We’ve featured the work of Batting Stance Guy here before. Of course, that was before he was BattingStanceGuy.com ™. (We think.) Well, the Guy was on the field with the Cardinals and Dodgers last week during the West Coast swing, and he got to tell Manny Ramirez to “hang on a sec”.  Good stuff. BattingStanceGuy.com […]

Rotation Junction

The revelation that Kyle Lohse is closer to returning than anyone thought has me pondering when John Smoltz should be moved to his permanent spot with St. Louis. It really has nothing to do with K-Mac last night or Motte for the last couple of months but rather October. Don’t get me wrong — I […]

Fun with Cardinal streaks

by on August 28, 2009 · 2 comments

Spurred on again by Baseball-Reference’s Stat of the Day blog who ran the first streak number below (6+ IP) this morning, I’ve been fiddling around with the B-R Play Index and came up with a bunch of my own that feature some Cardinals. Longest streak in 2009 for a starting pitcher going six or more […]

Last night’s game was pretty boring huh?  Adam Wainwright and shutout baseball?  Quick game?  YAWN! Don’t fret PH8ers – we’ve got some new (and some old) links for you to peruse. DeRo, Smoltzie, and those poor Baby Bears The Boston Herald dumps a heap of salt into the wounds of Cub fans with this one. […]
