The Duke and Jimmy Edmonds

by Dennis February 27, 2011

As news about the passing of Duke Snider made its way around various media outlets, two things really stuck with me.  The first was an excerpt taken from a statement released by Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully: “Although it’s ironic to say it, we have lost a giant.” Well said, Mr. Scully, well said.  The second […]

The Devil’s Advocate vs Chris Carpenter

by Dennis February 27, 2011

I jokingly speculated back in December about what it would take to pry Chris Carpenter loose from the Cardinals.  HINT: A lot.  I take it all back (or at least wish I could).  “But there’s many a slip twixt the cup and the lip.” ~William H. Bonny (Young Guns) Translated into baseball talk, that means […]

Not The News – Vol. I

by Dennis February 26, 2011

SHOE ATTACKS MAN IN MOUTH.  SHOE WINS 5-0 IN STUNNING ROUT!  Man goes 0-5 with 4 strikeouts against shoe. I love a good mea culpa as much as the next guy, and I’d really like to believe Gomes is sincere with his Deion Sanders impression of a high-speed backpedal.  The only problem I’ve got with the whole […]

Gr33nazn’s 2011 Fantasy Baseball Guide

by Dennis February 26, 2011

This piece was originally titled “World’s Worst 5×5 Fantasy League Baseball Guide for Spork Users“, but I determined that was decidely too pessimistic and catered to a very small audience (spork users).  It was also a ridiculously long title, so I abandoned it in favor of something a bit easier to remember.  Keep in mind […]

Play That Funky Music

by Dennis February 25, 2011

Before the Cardinals take the field for opening day, I thought I’d just give my suggestions on some walkup music options for some of the players.  The “walkup music” is the music that you hear as players are introduced for each at-bat, so some people know it as the “at-bat” music.  The music is usually […]

The Daily Pujols – THE EPIC CATCH-UP VERSION

by Nick February 25, 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 […]

1 Card Pickup

by Dennis February 24, 2011

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard the news about Adam Wainwright.  You’ve probably also heard that Adam’s contract includes a few interesting tidbits that weren’t really talked about a lot until recently. His 2012 and 2013 options are guaranteed with a top 5 finish in either the 2010 or 2011 Cy […]

20 Things More Useful to Humanity Than Jonny Gomes

by Dennis February 23, 2011

In case you haven’t read about it or heard from your best friend’s neighbor’s dog sitter, Jonny Gomes opened his big mouth.  Click here for the absurd details.  To make a short story even shorter, Gomes decided to celebrate the misery of others, and he opted to do so at the expense of Adam Wainwright.  In […]

UCB Roundtable for 02.21.2011

by Dennis February 22, 2011

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 […]

Review of “Pujols: More Than The Game”

by Dennis February 21, 2011

        Review of “Pujols: More Than The Game”     Pujols: More Than The Game practically jumps out and grabs your attention with the cover alone. The close-up of Albert wonderfully captures the combination of focus, intensity, and quiet confidence that we’ve come to expect in the man. The cover is also set off perfectly by […]
