Nick Stavinoha and the Cameo Cardinal Catchers

by Nick April 14, 2010

Sounds like a pretty cool name for a band, right? Actually, with his appearance catching in the late innings of Sunday night’s game, Nick Stavinoha joined a short list of Cardinal players that have made a one-game cameo playing catcher (when catcher is not their natural position). Today’s roster move to put Jason LaRue on […]

Cardinal pitchers with 30 saves in a season

by Nick April 13, 2010

With last night’s game safely in the bag and no bullpen blunders to speak of, the coast seems clear for reviewing a little Cardinal history in the bullpen. Ryan Franklin’s 38 saves in 2009 put him in pretty elite company in Cardinal closer history.  Franklin became only the seventh pitcher in club history to record […]

by Nick April 12, 2010

Yeah, the Reveille comes after the noon hour today – necessary evil after the hangover from last night’s ninth inning loss. PH8 Word of the Day: Vacillate From Dictionary.com: vac·il·late /ˈvæsəˌleɪt/ –verb (used without object),-lat·ed, -lat·ing. 1. to waver in mind or opinion; be indecisive or irresolute: His tendency to vacillate makes him a poor […]

PH8 Fantasy Baseball (Week 1)

by Josh April 12, 2010

One thing I have learned from trying my hand at designing is that I’m much better at writing. So with that in mind, my weekly updates about the PH8 ESPN League are going to be quite boring in April. Hopefully by May both the Cardinals bullpen and my art skills will have improved to the […]

by Andrew April 10, 2010

The Cardinals are set to square off once again with the Milwaukee Brewers today, after a thrilling 5-4 comeback win last night. Nick Stavinoha? Really?

Cardinals @ Brewers: April 9th Game Preview

by Andrew April 9, 2010

The Cardinals head to Milwaukee tonight to take on the team that swept St. Louis in the final three regular season games of 2009. Both teams took two of three in their respective opening-season series, and this weekend could be a rather significant matchup, as many picked Milwaukee to be one of St. Louis’ main […]

[Redbird Reveille] Frankhausen?, Ball at Busch, Free Parking, and Jaime Garcia

by Nick April 8, 2010

I didn’t get to see all of the game in Cincinnati last night (MLB.tv clearly still working out the bugs this season), but what I did see via the tiny little screen on my iPhone (AtBat working like a charm) left me with the following quick hits: Cardinals 6, Reds 3 Ryan Frankhausen?  Isringlin? Ryan […]

UCB 2010 Predictions: National League West

by Nick April 7, 2010

[Ed. Note: Better late than never, we always say at PH8…] The National League West might be the MLB division most up for grabs in 2010. The three teams at the top all have question marks in their own right, and it’s likely that whichever can cover its warts best will wind up in the […]

Link: St. Louis Magazine – A Cardinals Fan in Cubs Land

by Nick April 6, 2010

While I don’t necessarily agree with all of the feigned hatred toward the Cubs that the author of this essay appears to hold (after all, how can you really hate a team that struggles like the Cubs? zing!) – it rings at least somewhat true for me, likewise living “in the land of the enemy.” […]
