Yes, I’m really that bored, and I’m suffering withdrawals from Cardinals baseball. No, it’s just not enough to watch the playoffs. As the saying goes, I don’t have a horse in this race.

The UCB Preseason Roundtable discussions continue, with Deaner over at Cardinal Nation Globe posting today about choices for a franchise building block – Albert Pujols exempted. Tomorrow features a great question from Josh at That’s A Winner – I won’t spoil it, but it’s very pertinent to the Cardinal outlook for coming years. —– Tomorrow […]
