Please keep in mind as you read that we are still cutting our chops asking "hard hitting questions" so I hope you all find these interesting. Today's interviewee is Aaron Hooks of Cardinals Diaspora, where Cards [...]

The boys were back at it again on UCB Radio Hour last night. The first show since the Cardinals reported to Jupiter was sure not to disappoint.
I was unfortunately unable to join the fray but you can listen in to the rest of the United Cardinal Bloggers, as always, via iTunes by clicking the link [...]
Well, I must say that at least one of these decisions by GM John Mozeliak and his front office counterparts with the Cardinals was a surprise.
The Cards elected to decline to offer arbitration to any of their three “compensatory” free agents – Russ Springer, Braden Looper, and Jason Isringhausen. They also did not offer arbitration [...]

George Kissell
1920-2008
Longtime Cardinal player, coach, and teacher George Kissell passed away yesterday from injuries sustained in a car accident Monday night in St Petersburg FL.
Kissell has been a long-time instructor with the Cardinals, teaching scores of players young and old, how to play the game of baseball.
Derrick Goold recounted a great story he wrote from [...]
I think it’s time to start thinking about shutting Kyle McClellan down (if he’s not unofficially done anyway) for the season, albeit what little is left of it.
