Offseason

Disappointment comes in many forms, especially when you are a true fan. A little bit of me dies inside every time St. Louis signs a former Cub, but that is just silly, right? The bigger trouble is knowing that former Cards will play in other uniforms, but does it have to be the Royals and [...]

Entertain this post in the hypothetical, if you will. Its July 12th, 2010, the All-Star Break, and all is terribly wrong in the world of Cardinal Nation. Forget the relatively frigid weather of the winter and indulge yourself in a warm summer day. Don’t get too comfortable though. After all, it’s not the Winter-Warmup that [...]

Today’s post took much longer than I planned for two reasons. The first is related to the Cardinals but the second, is well, not even close. For those that know me, my love for movies is nearly on par with that of a certain St. Louis sports team. We are going to keep this rolling [...]

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 [...]

As part of yet another great United Cardinal Bloggers project, I give you my top five stories of 2008 as pertains to the St Louis Cardinals.
1. Lohse signs late, then signs early
Kyle Lohse was on the rader of GM John Mozeliak for most of the winter prior to the 2008 season. Lohse was reportedly looking [...]

Always hard to follow along with all the moves, so I’m hoping this gives an indication of where the Cardinals pitching is at within the central division.
I’m going to use the depth charts at mlb.com as the reference. They are fairly up to date as they show Greene at SS already.

So I’ve been banging these ideas, ‘theories’ if you will, around in my head since the Khalil Greene trade was announced late last week. I decided that some of them were just too ingenious to keep to myself.
Everyone knows and acknowledges that one of the Cardinals’ priorities heading into this season was finding middle infield [...]

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 there.
