UCB Project – Awards Predictions

by Dennis March 25, 2011

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 […]

Keep Standing

by Dennis March 24, 2011

That’s right, just keep “Standing for Stan” until directed otherwise.  Ignore the protestations of the naysayers, especially the ones named Murray Chass.  Mr. Chass has really jumped the shark and crafted a masterpiece worthy of praise, alright.  Click here for it.  It’s practically a Michelangelo’s David of what is unsaid.  It’s the Sistine Chapel of […]

UCB Project – NL West Projections

by Dennis March 24, 2011

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 […]

Mad Lib Sportswriting

by Dennis March 23, 2011

It cannot be that difficult to write stories for some web sports outlets.  After the journalistic fodder that rolled off the “presses” yesterday with Morosi’s face at the top, I’m utterly convinced that you simply need an advanced Mad Lib pad specifically designed for baseball to be a scribe with troll-like status.  Go ahead and give […]

UCB Project – NL Central

by Dennis March 23, 2011

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 […]

UCB Project – NL East Projections

by Dennis March 22, 2011

Give me just one good reason to not pick the Phillies, and I wouldn’t pick the Phillies here.  The Braves could push the Phillies, but the Phillies still have a margin for error that no other team in the division has.  They also have nearly twice the payroll that the Braves have, so we’re not […]

Not The News – Vol VII

by Dennis March 21, 2011

 BENCHES CLEAR AND NATIONALS CALL FOR REINFORCEMENTS Oh, the horror of it all… Naturally, the benches cleared during a spring training game between the Cardinals and the Nationals, and the game wasn’t televised.  Fortunately, an observant fan with a Kodak Disc camera and developing equipment in his basement managed to capture a shot of the Nationals […]

UCB – AL Projections

by Dennis March 21, 2011

This might be my favorite United Cardinal Bloggers project ever, because I wrote this back in December of 2010.  Copy/paste and voila: American League East – Boston Red Sox.  The Red Sox finished last season 7 games behind the Rays with a record of 89-73.  Fortunately, they just added Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford to […]

The Pujols Contract Irregular – 03.20.2011

by Nick March 20, 2011

On the morning of January 19th, I started collecting links – as many as I can find with minimal effort – that discuss the Albert Pujols contract discussions. Why? Who knows, yet here they are. Oh, and to serve you all, our three loyal readers! The Daily Pujols certainly won’t be a comprehensive list, but between […]

Help SABR member research the St. Louis Reds

by Nick March 18, 2011

Activate the PH8 signal! Many of you know, some of you don’t, that SABR is not just a bunch of folks sitting around coming up with new-fangled statistics meant to irritate Murray Chass. On the contrary, one of the most valuable facets of SABR is the historical research being done. To that end, I received […]
