by Dennis January 20, 2011

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 […]

The Daily Pujols – 01.20.2011

by Nick January 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 […]

7 Inning Game

by Dennis January 19, 2011

No, I’m not suggesting that MLB shorten the game to 7 innings.  That would be plain silly, and it would leave less time for the consumption of ballpark food.  If anything, I’m a proponent of having more baseball on a given night as opposed to less.  No, I’m simply suggesting that the Cardinals could practically turn some […]

The Tyler Greene Project

by Dennis January 18, 2011

Since being taken by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1st round of the 2005 amateur draft, Tyler Greene has probably taken more bus trips than most London tour guides.  Technically, he’s made about a dozen different stops (including repeats), and the former 30th overall pick has amassed a minor league career comprised of 550 […]

CardinaLeaks and Insider Information

by Dennis January 17, 2011

If you read the recent article here at PH8 about the YankiLeaks incident, you are probably already familiar with the dasterdly YankiLeaks organization which was responsible for helping create the “Abner Doubleday Agent-speak-to-English” translator.  I previously used the machine to decipher the encoded communications passed between members of the Yankees organization and Jeter’s agent, Casey Close.  […]

30 More Stupid Human Tricks

by Dennis January 15, 2011

Originally titled “30 More Fun Ways to Pass The Time Until Spring Training“, I thought I needed a shorter title that would work better on Twitter.  It’s really the “Part Deux” to the first “Fun Ways” post that was posted last year and may be found here.  Admittedly, it’s all completely juvenile, tongue-in-cheek, “oh-no-he-didn’t-really-write-that” attempts […]

“Closer” Inspection

by Dennis January 14, 2011

As the Cardinals go into 2011, there is concern among some members of Cardinal Nation that the closer, Ryan Franklin, won’t return to his 2009 form.  The planets seemed to align that year, and Franklin scored the one and only All-Star appearance of his career and totaled 38 saves.  Unfortunately, 2010 wasn’t so kind to Franklin, and […]

Show Him The Money!!!

by Dennis January 14, 2011

Not so fast.  Slow down there, wonder fan.      How much money are we talking about and for how long?  8 yrs and $240M?  10 yrs and $300M?  7 yrs / $225M plus the Gateway Arch and a riverboat?       Seriously?  I’ve heard or read just about every variation you can imagine for the next Pujols contract in […]

2011 MLB Preseason Power Rankings

by Nick January 14, 2011

Tony over at MLB Blog Buzz sent an e-mail yesterday asking for submissions for a group Power Ranking project they’re working on, so naturally Dennis and I were happy to oblige. Once I got into ranking the teams, I realized that outside of the top five and bottom five, doing this during the preseason is […]

Mang Overboard

by Dennis January 13, 2011

“I say and I say it again, you’ve been had. You’ve been took. You’ve been hoodwinked, bamboozled, led astray, run amok.” ~Malcolm X (Malcolm X – a Spike Lee joint) I couldn’t have said it better myself (probably because Denzel Washington has a way better speaking voice, and he’s well…Denzel).  Someone has tried to pull the […]
