{Last Call} Cardinals at Fangraphs, DisappointedInPeoria, Sign Guy on Twitter

by Nick April 23, 2010

A day off is good for this team’s bullpen, still not far enough removed for Tony’s liking from the 20-inning marathon last weekend. Rest assured PH8 loyal readers (all three of you), we do not have any intention of hosting a live blog this weekend.  As such, expect regular-old boring nine-inning games.  Sorry. Peoria Cardinals […]

[Redbird Reveille] Snakebitten Stats, New Time Killer, LF Lohse Seats

by Josh April 20, 2010

Two stats are the centerpiece for today’s story, but I’m not quite there yet. After the emotional weekend that was, I fully expected a let down for this series. Arizona didn’t exactly have a lot going for them and being swept in San Diego never helps leading into a home stand. To make matters worse […]

PH8 Fantasy Baseball (Week 2)

by Josh April 19, 2010

Late night Monday game, late night Monday post. That’s my story anyway folks… It only took two weeks for the fighting words to start, but the ESPN League is already starting to get interesting. A couple of tiebreakers will do that, as both divisions sport ties at the top. PH8 Week 2 Due to hangover […]

Cards and Mets play 20 innings, we learn about these Redbirds

by Nick April 18, 2010

I had a lot more fun writing my regular Sunday piece at Baseball Digest today than I thought I would. All of the anxiety and distaste for in-game decisions that I had last night had faded.  I had read the various game stories telling of Tony LaRussa and his staff applauding the team in the […]

{Last Call} Hoping A&W Goes Nine?

by Josh April 18, 2010

It is a very long season, especially sitting here in April, but yesterday’s day/night epic will be talked about over and over. I’ll leave most of the yummy goodness to others because honestly — I’m exhausted. St. Louis Beat P-D’s take should be even more fun in the morning but the JSL!!! guru gives this […]

[Redbird Reveille] Tr(i)es Bien, Spring Shopping, Grand Central

by Josh April 16, 2010

Three series down, three wins. That should be a good thing, right? So why does it feel like the Cardinals took a step back by letting a third opportunity for a sweep fall by the wayside… To be honest with all three of our readers, I took a nap after watching the first two innings […]

[Redbird Reveille] Money Penny, Franklin Saves, Bud Norris versus Cards

by Nick April 15, 2010

I couldn’t help myself.  Joe Sports Fan’s Matt Sebek challenged his followers on Twitter last night to write the headline for today’s game story about Brad Penny’s effort last night… and what you see above is what you get.  I’m ashamed. Penny was masterful, obviously already seeing benefits from working under pitching coach Dave Duncan, […]
