Current Cardinals
It’s smorgasboard time at PH8. We made another appearance (albeit brief, at the end of the show) on UCB Radio on Wednesday night. Chet from 4thebirds did the hosting, and he did a wonderful job at that. It’s a great listen, you can check it out in the little box at the top right up [...]

Well, I must say that at least one of these decisions by GM John Mozeliak and his front office counterparts with the Cardinals was a surprise. The Cards elected to decline to offer arbitration to any of their three “compensatory” free agents – Russ Springer, Braden Looper, and Jason Isringhausen. They also did not offer [...]

So I’ve been biding my time, waiting, watching, allowing the news to come to me. As I’m sure my loyal readers know (all three of you), it’s been eerily quiet. Let’s catch up with the goings on… First, I wanted to take another opportunity to publicize the debut and continuing development of United Cardinal Bloggers’ [...]

The announcements are in and Sir Albert has brought home another well deserved MVP Award. You can listen to the conference call, watch video, etc from the link above. Highlights : Elbow is doing good Will be cleared to do weight lifting soon, but can’t push too much. Other questions surrounded the fact that the [...]

Ed. Note: My apologies to PH8 contributor StLCards, who put this post up a few days ago, and I didn’t even realize it was here. Please read below. —– Last week amidst all the Jake Peavy rumblings I came across a headline that basically indicated the Rockies were now ready to accept less for Holliday. [...]

So today is my turn in the esteemed United Cardinal Bloggers’ Roundtable discussions taking place this month of October. I’ve had a great time going back and forth with this red bleeding bunch, no matter agreeing or disagreeing. While most of the Cardinal fandom is focused on who the Redbirds can add this off-season, I [...]

Why, you ask? Because I just read two statements that make me cringe in the same article about the procedure Albert Pujols had on his elbow today. The first: Pujols has elbow surgery Ok, not terribly surprising – and it sounds like it was a lesser surgery, one intended to minimize down time for El [...]
As promised, the first installation of the United Cardinal Bloggers’ Roundtable discussion has been posted over at The Cardinal Virtue. John’s question for the group was this: I’ll start us off with what I feel is an “easy” topic. A big question for this offseason was answered with the resigning of Lohse. Was this the [...]
Ok, save the “duh” comments. I know I’m behind the news here. Fact is, my tardiness was somewhat intentional. I’ve set myself down at the keyboard several times since Sunday night/Monday afternoon, all set to unleash my true thoughts on the Kyle Lohse signing, only to think better of it and continue to read other [...]
