Every year the members of the United Cardinal Bloggers (UCB) pause for a few moments to bestow honors and blah, blah, blah. Without any more of that ado that apparently there is much of for no reason, here is my UCB Awards ballot.
Sometime in mid-August (ok, August 12 to be exact – it’s right there on the Tweeter box) Cardinal fan Will Leitch began a dialogue “with” the Cardinals. Er, maybe AT the Cardinals is more appropriate. The first installment was posted Wednesday and the completion of the regular season was posted yesterday. With Will’s permission, and […]

If nothing else, the annual Rawlings Gold Glove Award winners remind us that most voters probably don’t actually watch much baseball. If they did, Derek Jeter would not have taken home the award in 2010. If Rawlings has accomplished anything, it’s that they have got one thing right. The additional step of naming finalists for […]

Jaime Garcia departed yesterday’s NLDS game after just 2 innings and 51 pitches. Though he appeared to labor through those 2 innings, his command and control didn’t appear all that bad, and his velocity seemed normal. He just seemed ineffective in giving up an earned run, 2 hits, and 3 walks. It was not until […]

We could debate game 1 of the NLDS between the Nationals and Cardinals until the end of time itself and not change a thing about it. However, we can learn from the experience and potentially profit from the knowledge gained by the flaws exposed by the game. So can the Cardinals. Jon Jay remains the […]
David Freese and Yadier Molina both hit the 20 HR mark last night. Based on the practically palpable excitement on the internets, this must have been a record or something. It was. The St. Louis Cardinals as a franchise has been around since prehistoric times – 1882 to be exact (that’s what we call the […]
When you your mind is aglow with whirling, transient nodes of thought careening through a cosmic vapor of invention, you must somehow dictate those thought particles or risk losing them forever. Think of it as “situational blogging”. The nearly inevitable post of random unrelated pieces of information and theories of quantum baseball mechanics basically amounts […]

Barring a statistical collapse by the likes of Andrew McCutchen and David Wright, the possibility of someone from the Cardinals taking home the NL MVP hardware this year seems remote at best. That does not necessarily mean that one or more players has not earned the right to be mentioned in the MVP debate, but […]
