Have The Cardinals Bounced?

The weekend started with an internet furor over a Cardinal trade.  It ended with a lot more optimism after a stellar pitching performance.  In between, well, it's possible that the Cardinals hit rock bottom and bounced.  A quick recap:Friday (6-3...  [Posted on August 23, 2010 8:55 AM]

Streak Stopped, Talk Just Starting

You know that, when Cole Hamels is pitching against your team, you are going to likely have a long night (or, in this case, afternoon).  However, I'm not sure you expect it to be that long.However, this loss was different...  [Posted on July 23, 2010 9:42 AM]

Exciting Times In Cardinal Nation

You know things are going good when a late-inning win to extend a lengthy winning streak is the second most talked about story today.Let's take the game first, though, before we get into the trade rumor that popped up last...  [Posted on July 22, 2010 8:20 AM]

Cardinals Continue To Roll

What's been the most encouraging thing during this current Cardinal winning streak is that they keep winning in different ways.  The first couple of games, they slugged.  They've had good pitching performances.  They've had comebacks.  They've beaten pitchers that normally...  [Posted on July 21, 2010 8:51 AM]

Cardinal Comeback Continues

This winning stuff is fun, isn't it?  A lot more exciting to watch, a lot less griping and complaining.  I think even if the Cards had lost yesterday, the afterglow of the Dodger series might have tempered a little bit...  [Posted on July 20, 2010 11:26 AM]

Who Are These Guys?

Is it possible that, during the All-Star Break, aliens abducted the St. Louis Cardinals and replaced them with clones?  Or that Tony La Russa gives an amazing motivational talk when he has three days to prepare?  It could be, perhaps,...  [Posted on July 19, 2010 10:34 AM]

Turning The Corner?

It's just been two games.  This team has teased a change before and fallen back into frustrating inconsistency.  However, with these two games, I really think that, at least temporarily, the Cardinals are on the right track for once.Let's start...  [Posted on July 17, 2010 9:29 AM]

Cards Soar In Foreign Land

You know, when the discussion of launching pad stadiums comes up, I never think of Toronto's Rogers Center.  Wrigley, Coors, even the old Atlanta stadium that started the nickname.  However, if last night is any indication, Rogers Center is...  [Posted on June 23, 2010 7:21 AM]

Cardinal Comeback

First off, I want to say thank you to everyone who has expressed kind words over the Cardinal Blogosphere Guide.  I hope that it results in increased traffic for the blogs listed and that you can find another source of...  [Posted on April 27, 2010 7:47 AM]

Pitchin' On The Dock Of The Bay

You knew, just looking at the matchups, two things about this weekend's series.  One, it was going to be darn tough for the Cardinals to keep their streak of not losing a series alive.  The second was that if anyone...  [Posted on April 26, 2010 7:49 AM]

Talking Cardinals

I know, I still have UCB predictions to get up.  (It's sad when the head guy can't get them done, isn't it?)  I still have a few Playing Peppers to post.  But, blast it, it's been over a week since...  [Posted on April 3, 2010 8:52 AM]

Dealing With The "Rumor"

I guess not surprisingly, the biggest thing coming out of Cardinals camp yesterday was a Seinfeldian discussion about nothing.Look, no one took that "trade rumor" involving Albert Pujols and Ryan Howard the least bit seriously.  No one thought that it...  [Posted on March 16, 2010 8:05 AM]

Wounded Birds

While there was plenty of news from the game yesterday, the biggest discussion point probably happened before the first pitch was ever thrown.Albert Pujols and Matt Holliday were both scratched from yesterday's game against the Nationals.  Pujols's back still isn't...  [Posted on March 11, 2010 8:06 AM]

Let's Play Some Ball!

I check the weather forecast and it's supposed to be in the sixties this weekend.  I can see the sun coming up earlier and earlier and staying up later and later.  Those might be signs, but the real indicator that...  [Posted on March 4, 2010 8:00 AM]

Talk And Action

As everyone knows by now, the pitchers, the catchers and other assorted players and Cardinal brass showed up in Jupiter yesterday.The hitting coach dwarfed them all.Mark McGwire came to camp yesterday and, as he often does, stole the spotlight.  This...  [Posted on February 18, 2010 10:12 AM]

My 2009 Cardinal Blogger Award Ballot

For the third straight year, the United Cardinal Bloggers are voting on the Cardinal Blogger Awards.  (It's probably best that we do it, instead of having the Dodger bloggers vote for the CBA.)  If you want to see the past...  [Posted on November 19, 2009 10:30 PM]

News In A Newsless Void

As you know, there aren't many things going on right now that are Cardinal related.  So you have to pick out the small nuggets that are around and blow them up into talkable topics.  Thankfully, I'm a blogger.  That's my...  [Posted on October 23, 2009 9:20 AM]

The Cardinal Fan's Dilemma

Last night's results was about the worst-case scenario for those that want to see the Cards clinch the NL Central on the field.The Cubs lose, which is usually a great thing.  However, the Cardinals do as well, plus they have...  [Posted on September 24, 2009 8:09 AM]

Launching In Houston

Is there any way the Cardinals can arrange to play October facing Houston?Whatever the reason, either the ball park or just good timing, the St. Louis bats have woken up on their trip down south.  The 11 runs that the...  [Posted on September 23, 2009 8:31 AM]

UCB Project: Top 7 Prospects

It's been a little while since the United Cardinal Bloggers have gotten together for one of our famous (in our own minds) projects, but today we tackled the farm system as we list out our top 7 guys that will...  [Posted on September 18, 2009 8:30 AM]

Cutting Them Down To Size

Along with a loss to go into an off day, yesterday was particularly painful for some players, as they were reassigned to the minor league camp, ending their shot (for the most part) of starting the season in St. Louis.None...  [Posted on March 17, 2009 8:43 AM]

Weekend Ups and Downs

A mixed bag this weekend.  Good stuff Saturday, but it sounds like Sunday was a doozy.Let's hit up Saturday's game against the Astros first.  Remember that I said that a good start from Joel Pineiro might get me dreaming about...  [Posted on March 9, 2009 9:07 AM]

Duncan the Opposition

Chris Duncan inflames a lot of Cardinal fans.  In fact, one of the recent UCB roundtables (that just went up) dealt with that very topic.  Yesterday, though, Duncan reminded us what he can possibly do when healthy.A 4-4, 3 run,...  [Posted on March 4, 2009 8:27 AM]

Glaus Fallout

Maybe it's appropriate for a guy nicknamed Santa Glaus.  Because it's starting to look like it may be a holiday before we see him again.The latest article from Joe Strauss indicates that Troy Glaus may miss up to five weeks...  [Posted on January 23, 2009 7:43 AM]

Glaus Out For Three Months

The press release was short and succinct.  Troy Glaus had arthroscopic shoulder surgery yesterday and will be out around 12 weeks.  Apparently, people didn't ask John Mozeliak the right questions yesterday.The official site and the Post-Dispatch site don't have stories...  [Posted on January 22, 2009 1:32 PM]
