Dennys Reyes
Reading a couple of posts over at STLCardinalBaseball this weekend led me into a bit of a debate with Ray over whether the Cardinals routinely pay market value for their players or not. Spurred on by the ongoing discussions about what market value may look like for one Yadier Molina, Ray took a look at […]

For any of you ready to pop champagne corks to celebrate the way the Rasmus trade has worked out, it’s just a bit early for gloating. Trades involving young players like Colby Rasmus, Edwin Jackson, Corey Patterson, and Marc Rzepczynski are often measured both in terms of immediate impact and extended careers. To say that […]
This is one last desperate plea from Statler, Waldorf, and myself. Kyle McClellan joined the two Muppets in the back of the theater, but he doesn’t want to speak on his on behalf at this point. That’s fine. I’m bringing the heat and blathering enough for all 4 of us. We’ve got one simple message. Leave […]
That’s right. It’s a “Honey-Do” list. It’s a list of things that must be accomplished prior to opening day, or else you won’t be able to watch baseball in complete peace and quiet. We’re not talking about your everyday “fix-the-gutter” or unclog the drain type DIY projects, either. I’m talking serious stuff here, and you’re running […]
While not something I originally planned on including today, it is important for all of us here at PH8 to express our condolences to the Walters family. We were fortunate to get to know P.J. while interviewing him on UCB Radio, and I look forward to watching him overcome this tragedy and again honor his […]

With names from Cardinal teams past popping up everywhere – Mark McGwire is the team’s new hitting coach and possible pinch-hitter (depending on whether Tony would ever really push for such a thing), and now Jim Edmonds has “challenged” LaRussa to give him a roster spot (believe what you will there) – I thought it […]

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 […]

Well, judging by the title, this should be a fun exercise, no? Good thing: Colby Rasmus going three-for-four with a home run, double, single, a run scored and one batted in. Bad thing: Dan and Al going on incessantly about how Rasmus “only needs a triple for the cycle” following the single to put him […]

It occurred to me after Kyle McClellan walked Omar Infante to load the bases last night in the eighth inning, “we’ve seen this before, I know we have.” Thing is, I wasn’t referring to the impending blown save and loss. Cardinal pitchers have walked twelve batters this season with no one out and the bases […]

I know, I know – here we go again. Many of you have no doubt read all of the things Tony has done wrong over at the STLToday.com Cards Talk forums. You know the routine over there – “the season is over,” “Tony must go,” “why didn’t they sign a closer?” – those type of […]
