Around this same time last year as part of the annual UCB project to make predictions for all 6 divisions, I not-so-boldly picked the top three as the Brewers, Cardinals, and the Reds (see here for proof). Based on the individual rosters, it wasn’t difficult to put those three in order. It was actually the […]

If you look at what the Philadelphia Phillies have done in the past 5 seasons, you might be tempted to think that they are a lock for a playoff spot. Starting in 2007, the Phillies won 89, 92, 93, 97, and 102 games. This year’s team is not any of those teams by any stretch […]

If you are going to prognosticate and likely do a poor job of it, you might as well start by shaking up your Magic 8 Ball and thinking about the National League West division first. It may very well be a 2 team race out West, but I would not want to put money on […]

And then there were sixteen… We’re down to the last sixteen teams in the All-Time Cardinals Team Tourney, and the only lower seed to advance to the sweet sixteen was the 2005 bunch over in I-70 Baseball’s Buck Region. Get over there and vote for the teams to advance to the Buck Region Final! As […]
Round One is complete, the teams have been advanced on the bracket. Not a lot of surprises, but one considerable upset to be found here in the Musial Region. Below are the polls for voting in Round Two! Again, please vote for which team you believe should advance to the next round in each case, using […]
The first round of the All-Time Cardinals Team Tourney is well underway, with voting starting here and at I-70 Baseball last night, and the remaining two regions at C70 at the Bat and Aaron Miles’ Fastball this morning. I’ve voted in all of them, have you? So far, there’s lots of votes for the favorites […]
Didn’t we just finish one of these epic United Cardinal Bloggers roundtable projects? That pesky World Series has just compressed this off-season completely, huh? With all of the other great discussions going on, I decided to ask a bit about the team’s long-held belief in a “Cardinal Way.” Ask Google about “Cardinal Way” and you’ll […]

Yeah, I’m a little behind on this one – so what, wanna fight about it? 5. Chris Carpenter and Roy Halladay go fishing I’ve been told, over and over and over and over again, that this was a thing. And then Doc saved someone from a snake and Carp busted up his toe. Story! (You […]

If you haven’t already seen Dennis and Josh’s ballots for the Cardinal Blogger Awards, please take a minute to read those as well.
