Blogging .720 With 9 HR

by Dennis February 18, 2011

Believe it or not, this is actually my 100th entry for PH8.  So, how am I going to commemorate such a monumental accomplishment?  By breaking down the previous 99 and converting them into a batting line, of course.  Isn’t that what all bloggers do?  Somewhere out there at least 1 of our 3 dedicated readers […]

by Dennis February 17, 2011

  The Versus network was showing “Greatest MLB Rivalries: Cardinals vs Cubs” the other night, and I happily volunteered one hour of my life to watching the show.  I pretty much know the contents by heart, but I never pass up the opportunity to listen to a retelling of the “Curse of the Billy Goat“.  […]

Every Little Thing Gonna Be Alright

by Dennis February 16, 2011

“Don’t worry about a thing, ‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right.”  ~Bob Marley (Three Little Birds) Leave it to Bob Marley to put it so eloquently.  I’m not the official spokesperson for Cardinal Nation, but I think I speak for at least a small group of fans when I say “Kindly leave us the […]

Dan Lozano – Super Genius

by Dennis February 14, 2011

    Somewhere hidden beneath the sticks of  dynamite, giant rubber bands, and huge boulders in Dan Lozano’s car trunk there is probably an ACME brand “Sports Agent In-A-Box” kit.  He probably has the at-home version as well.  Judging by recent events, he’s probably dog-eared several pages in the chapter on “Conquering the Baseball World […]

The One Contract to Rule Them All

by Dennis February 12, 2011

I’m not good with deadlines.  All the guessing games annoy me, and quite frankly I’ve grown tired of people tossing numbers around like they’re plotting their strategy for cowchip bingo or something.  10/300?  8/225?  Can I get a 15/450?  Seriously.  Stop it.  Move past the basic parameters of a regular contract and start thinking in […]
