United Cardinal Bloggers
After celebrating a very long but exciting day at Busch Stadium for the Blogger event, it became apparent that a tradition needed to be started here for our three loyal readers. The Cardinals put us up in some amazing digs and to honor that a new segment will be running every few weeks (or when […]
I’m usually hesistant to predict individual awards, because there is about a 20% chance of getting any of them correct, and I’m all about hitting the 1/4 mark. Then again, this is for the UCB, and I’ll gladly sacrifice quality for quantity in the name of the UCB. American League AL MVP – Robinson Cano […]

I’m big on the Giants. Yep, I’m HUGE on the Giants. Giants Dodgers Padres Rockies Diamondbacks They’ve got a full year of Buster Posey, Madison Bumgarner, and they’ve got some potential breakthrough talent (Brandon Belt). Even if Huff drops off a bit this year, they still have the makings of a 95-win team in that […]

A lot has indeed changed since November when I predicted an NL Central finish like this one: Cardinals Reds Astros Cubs Brewers Pirates Now I’ve revised my list to this: Brewers Cardinals Reds Cubs Astros Pirates Why? Adam Wainwright went under the knife Shaun Marcum’s velocity isn’t what it’s supposed to be right now Cueto […]
As always, it’s a privilege to participate in the United Cardinal Bloggers roundtable, and it’s something that we take seriously at PH8 (or as seriously as we take anything at PH8). With that in mind, we took a brief departure from the typical roundtable question and posed something a little lighthearted for our fellow bloggers […]
Find a happy place, think positive, think happy thoughts…..got it! Sorry, but I needed to get myself into the right mindset to write this one. As a member blog of the United Cardinal Bloggers, PH8 is committed to participating in the various projects sponsored by the UCB throughout the year. This one happens to be due […]
Yep, that’s right, Pitchers Hit Eighth has reached the 600 Post Club. I’m not sure what that means, if anything, other than Dennis has been writing a lot lately. Dennis’ post “Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the B12 Bobbleheads” this morning was number 600. Consequently, the “milestone” offers me the opportunity to thank Dennis […]
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 […]
It’s the bottom of the 9th, and I’ve been brought into the game to seal the deal with a 10 run lead. That’s how I would describe the last couple months at PH8. I wasn’t around for most of the year, so I deserve very little credit for PH8’s UCB award win for “Best Team […]
In the short period of time that I’ve been contributing here at PH8, I’ve noticed that about half of my new Twitter followers are #stlcards fans. Approximately 3-4 times each week, one of these new followers will tweet or dm an interesting sports question that requires a bit of time to reply, and 140 characters […]
