There is nothing quite like a close World Series game….followed by one complaint after another.  In no particular order, I’ve heard or read variations of the following: Jon Jay couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn with a baseball from 20 feet away.

As always, it’s a privilege to participate in the United Cardinal Bloggers roundtable, and it’s something that we take seriously at PH8 (or as seriously as we take anything at PH8).  With that in mind, we took a brief departure from the typical roundtable question and posed something a little lighthearted for our fellow bloggers […]

I wrote and sent out this question one week ago, the night before Baby PH8 was […]
