There really is no easy way to say “goodbye” to all 3 of our loyal readers. Actually, I would not be even writing a goodbye post, if not for the amazing readers of this blog. I feel I owe a bit in the way of an explanation to them. For those of you who stumbled […]

This week has been one of reflection for many people associated with the Cardinals – including us fans. The current team is struggling, and yet it seems so trivial in a way, as the mind wanders to teams gone by.

The United Cardinal Bloggers‘ January project tasked us bloggers with putting together a Cardinals team made up of the best at each position, in our opinion, during the recently completed decade. Not really any other restrictions placed on this one, other than it was due on Friday. Oops. Better late than never. Not surprisingly, there […]
