UCB Project: Top 7 Cardinal Prospects

by Nick September 30, 2009

Without a doubt this is a list in flux, and I presume that’s the case for more folks than just yours truly. Last season’s list bore little resemblance to what it would’ve been in mid-July of this season, and neither of those would match with the list below. Even my late posting of this list […]

Why Not Wednesday

by Josh September 23, 2009

Since I’m still fairly new to the UCB, I haven’t had the chance to comment much on the group. Everyone has been busy given the time of year (school, kids, work), but the projects are always top notch. This month is no exception, even though we here at PH8 are late to the party. The […]

Rescue Us

by Josh September 14, 2009

Who would have thought Todd Wellemeyer would be starting again, this year or ever as a Cardinal? St. Louis now puts the first losing streak in seemingly forever on the broad shoulders of the Toddalion.  Of course, the Florida Marlins are trying to stay in the NL Wild Card hunt and don’t really care who […]

Labor Day Links

by Josh September 7, 2009

I have been giving a lot of thought to how impressive the post All-Star run by the big club has been, and they are not alone. Memphis and Springfield secured postseason berths in quite different ways, as the revolving 2009 season has proven that the Cardinals still have plenty of depth. Tonight’s focus has to […]

The Cardinals’ top draft pick this season, Shelby Miller, is making his first start as a professional in the Cards minor league system tonight for the Quad Cities River Bandits versus the Beloit Snappers.

As mentioned in the previous post, this game was joined in progress at PH8 headquarters.

Shaq versus Albert Pujols

by Nick September 1, 2009

While the Cardinals and Brewers were going back and forth toward putting up four runs a piece heading into the seventh inning (yes, I tuned in just in time to see Matt Holliday’s three-run jack) tonight, I was finishing up some work around the house, dinner, and feeding my curiosity with the Shaq Vs. television […]
