If you’re like me, waiting until the last minute either to decide you’re going to go to a game – or in my case, waiting to find out whether you’ll even be in town to be ABLE to go to the game – tickets in a location that you would like to sit can sometimes […]
Just when I thought it was safe to venture into my backlog of blog pieces, I remembered the December project for the United Cardinal Bloggers (UCB). The project is the top 5 stories of 2010 in Cardinals baseball, and it shouldn’t be a difficult piece to write. 5. Cardinals sign Albert Pujols to mega-deal extension […]
As part of a Baseball Bloggers Alliance Project, Josh, Andrew and I cast our ballots for the 2010 National League All-Star team. In order to keep things simple, two out of three votes was a lock, no need for further discussion. We managed to lock up all but one outfield position in that voting manner. […]

Join me and whoever else decides to stop through tomorrow at Miller Park for a Pitchers Hit Eighth-styled tailgate prior to the Cards and Brewers 2:10pm start. We will have a cooler full of adult beverages (and some non-adult too), hot dogs, and good company. I expect arrival in at the Miller Park parking lot […]
Ah, it feels good to write a “day-after-game” post again. Who enjoys having baseball back? Cardinals 11, Reds 6 What injuries? Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina both homered, Pujols twice and Molina’s a grand slam, in yesterday’s game. Seems they’re feeling alright, eh? Skip struggles.

With the home team hosting the All-Star Game this season, I expected to experience a Renaissance of sorts. You see, the All-Star Game and its surrounding Festivities have not really captivated me for years. Sure, I saw the Ted Williams tribute a few years ago. I watched them close old Yankee Stadium down last season. […]
