As the J.O.B. Spins (Mayday Release)

by Josh May 4, 2011

While doom and gloom should never be part of any fans’ experience, the reality becomes that baseball, as in life, is sometimes rarely fair. St. Louis has overcome enough obstacles in March/April to last well into the dog days, but the powers that be have decided to throw another wrench in the plans. The Cardinals […]

Gimme Those Digits

by Dennis May 4, 2011

Gut Check: Kyle McClellan

by Dennis May 3, 2011

It’s an odd thing to say about a guy who is 4-0 with a 3.23 ERA, isn’t it?  Then again, this is the first time Kyle McClellan has to bounce back after a rough outing as a starter at the highest level, and it will be very interesting to see how he handles it.  It’s not […]

Make a Cubs fan wear a Cards hat and kiss a Pujols photo

by Nick May 2, 2011

Of all of the strange, silly, outlandish, and downright shameless contests we run here at PH8, I’m happy to both promote and participate in one that is worthwhile and fun at the same time. Win – win. From Wes Rucker (@wesrucker247), a sports writer from Knoxville TN: (via Twitter) If 10 St. Louis Cards’ fans […]

My Soapbox is Bigger Than Yours Is

by Dennis May 2, 2011

Yep, my soapbox is bigger than yours is, because it has to be sturdy.  I like to eat 8 lb burritos with a spork while I’m standing on my soapbox, so prepare yourselves.  It’s about to get ugly up in here.  WARNING: A rant is about to take place. I’m sick and tired of people […]

Pitchers Hit Eighth Podcast – Episode 0.9: “Matt Holliday is good at baseball.”

by Nick April 29, 2011

This episode is more like what Josh and I are used to.  Start out with a modest goal of chatting about Cardinals baseball for about a half-hour, and wind up closer to an hour-and-a-half. We talked about the bullpen, Wednesday night’s game (we recorded after the last out), and Matt Holliday.  We were also joined […]
