I love Baseball-Reference.com’s Play Index.

The August project for the United Cardinal Bloggers was to get to know each other. We’ve had meetups at Busch for various events, we’ve invaded Pujols 5 for an evening – but this was an opportunity to ask and learn from each other with randomly selected pairings.

Greinke injured himself going after a rebound, and all this happened before he threw a single pitch in a spring training game. Greinke then went on to make […]

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? Anyways, we’ve got Jaime Garcia making his first start today, which all of us at PitchersHitEighth have been anxiously awaiting (Honkin’ for Jaime). Milwaukee is sending ace Yovani Gallardo to […]

It just so happens this falls in line with the United Cardinal Bloggers’ 2010 Predictions project as well, so two […]
