In the handful of hours since the Cardinals lost Game One of the NLDS to the Dodgers, the realization has set in that the Dodgers didn’t play much (if any) better than the hometown club. Sure, they had more timely hits – both with the bat and by the ball – than the Cards, but […]

I had planned to put this up this morning and never found the time. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your viewpoint), it now serves as a great distraction from the late innings of Game One between the Cards and Dodgers out at Chavez Ravine. Assembled below is a wide-ranging smorgasboard of links culled from across […]

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 […]

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 […]

Spurred on again by Baseball-Reference’s Stat of the Day blog who ran the first streak number below (6+ IP) this morning, I’ve been fiddling around with the B-R Play Index and came up with a bunch of my own that feature some Cardinals. Longest streak in 2009 for a starting pitcher going six or more […]

Last night’s game was pretty boring huh? Adam Wainwright and shutout baseball? Quick game? YAWN! Don’t fret PH8ers – we’ve got some new (and some old) links for you to peruse. DeRo, Smoltzie, and those poor Baby Bears The Boston Herald dumps a heap of salt into the wounds of Cub fans with this one. […]

In another game that many would argue the 2008 Cardinals didn’t have a chance in, the 2009 Redbirds emerge victorious to win another series against the Dodgers, their fifth win this season in the seventh and final regular season matchup with the NL West leaders. Notes Adam Wainwright was brilliant early, then seemed as if […]

Dodgers’ pitcher Charlie Haeger made only his second MLB start last night against the Cardinals at Dodger Stadium, and the young knuckleballer had certain measures of success. Sure, there was the inevitable home run from Albert Pujols and the bomb from Rick Ankiel, but for the most part Haeger kept the Cardinals off balance at […]

Retro-PH8 One year ago to the day, Jarrod Washburn had been claimed off of waivers, and everyone was scrambling to find out which team had placed the claim. Could it have been the Cardinals? He wound up staying with the Mariners when they pulled him back, only to ship him off to the Tigers this […]

Matt Capps should be thankful that Albert Pujols cannot throw a 100 mph fastball. Or that he would likely never bat versus the Cardinals in a situation to be hit anyway. Or that Albert just didn’t feel like maiming a guy who could arguably be laughed at for calling himself a closer in the first […]
