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]

Subtle Shifts

While no major news came out of Jupiter yesterday, there were a couple of things that could have an impact on the season to come.First, the Cards returned Ben Jukich to the Reds. For a Rule V guy, he didn't... [Posted on March 19, 2010 8:03 AM]

Cardinals Getting Ready

Before we get to the news of the weekend, it's just come across Twitter that the Cards have invited Shelby Miller and Sam Freeman into camp. While it's most likely to make sure they have enough arms for whatever drills... [Posted on February 22, 2010 10:14 AM]

Officially Ending An Era

I don't have much time today, but I couldn't let it pass without note. Rick Ankiel will be playing for a team other than the Cardinals for the first time this coming season, signing a one-year deal with the Royals. ... [Posted on January 22, 2010 9:35 AM]

UCB Project: Top 5 Stories of 2009

There is no doubt that 2009 was a very eventful one for the St. Louis Cardinals. From the surprising dismissal of Adam Kennedy right before spring training to the continued pursuit of Matt Holliday as the year comes to... [Posted on December 31, 2009 9:27 AM]

Slight Movement in Cardinal News

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas. There's not been much to talk about and I've not had a chance to get back to the blog much due to the family obligations, but I'm pretty sure you've not missed... [Posted on December 29, 2009 9:21 AM]

Cardinal Off-The-Field News

A couple of things took place this weekend. One was at least semi-hopeful, one fairly disappointing.First off, the Cardinals finally made a formal offer to Matt Holliday. No details on it have leaked out, though it is most likely not... [Posted on December 14, 2009 9:53 AM]

Winter Meeting Wrapup

The Cardinal contingent has left Indianapolis, headed back to theoretically warmer climes (St. Louis is supposed to be 41 today, Indy 34) and with a couple of new pitchers. However, there's no thaw in the relations between them and Scott... [Posted on December 11, 2009 9:27 AM]

Cardinals Featured In Winter Meeting Opener

Can't say there wasn't any Cardinal news coming out of the beginning of the winter meetings.First off, Whitey Herzog, along with umpire Doug Harvey, were announced as the veteran's committee's selections for the 2010 Hall of Fame class. Besides being... [Posted on December 8, 2009 9:16 AM]

Decisions Made

The Cardinals announced yesterday evening that they had made their arbitration decisions. As expected by almost everyone, they tendered arbitration to Matt Holliday, Joel Pineiro and Mark DeRosa, while allowing Troy Glaus to leave without strings.To me, that means that...

Arbitration Day for Cardinals

I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe holiday weekend. Now the calendar has turned, the weather has chilled, and the hot stove is starting to be warmed.Before too many logs get thrown on that fire, though, the Cardinals have... [Posted on December 1, 2009 9:14 AM]

A Time Of Thanks

Cardinal Nation breathed a bit of a sigh of relief yesterday as Albert Pujols won his well-deserved third MVP. Pujols not only didn't lose the award, but he was one of the rare unanimous selections in NL history. Which, of... [Posted on November 25, 2009 9:13 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]

Cardinal Baseball Talk

We had a good conversation last night with Matthew Leach, Cardinal beat writer for MLB.com, on the United Cardinal Bloggers Radio Hour. The major topics were hashed out and Matthew brought some interesting thoughts into the mix.For example, he thinks... [Posted on November 12, 2009 8:52 AM]

Twigs For The Stove

First off, congratulations to the Yankees. I'm not a Yankee hater, due to their tradition mainly. I'm not big on the fact that they spent so much and won, but when you look at how often they spent a ton... [Posted on November 5, 2009 8:09 AM]

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]

Chopping Wood For The Hot Stove

It's a cold, rainy morning here in Arkansas, which finely matches the mood of Cardinal Nation after the quick exit from the postseason. There's this kind of limbo that goes on when your team is out of the playoffs early. ... [Posted on October 12, 2009 11:06 AM]

The Quiet of No Baseball

This is the way the season ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.How fitting was it that Rick Ankiel was the last out--and a strikeout at that. Rick's promise, just like that exhilarating promise of August, never quite came to fruition.... [Posted on October 10, 2009 11:53 PM]

This Wasn't In The Script

OK, wait a minute. Back up. Let's look at this again, because something isn't going quite as planned.You are telling me that the Cardinals lost BOTH games that Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright started? The one big advantage this team... [Posted on October 9, 2009 9:01 AM]

A Wrap And A Look Forward

It's been a busy week for me, with having to drive a hour and a half to an audit every morning. (Usual commute to the office--8 minutes.) So I've not had the chance to finish up the regular season and... [Posted on October 7, 2009 6:48 AM]

A Grand Day For Cardinal Fans

A nice, crisp day in Cincinnati, when you are spending it at the ballpark, can make a lot of people happy. Well, maybe not a lot, since the crowd was pretty sparse. It definitely did wonders for Cardinal Nation, though.Chris... [Posted on October 2, 2009 8:50 AM]

Continued Cause For Concern

OK, it's not just the Cardinals. The Yankees lost last night to the Royals. The Dodgers just finished losing three of four to the Pirates and lost to the Padres last night. Playoff teams are losing to the bottom rung... [Posted on October 1, 2009 7:01 AM]

Cardinals Stumble To Start Final Stretch

It's meaningless baseball, right? The Cards are going to the playoffs, but without a lot of things going their way, there's not much they can do otherwise. The odds are long that they'll catch the Dodgers for the best record... [Posted on September 30, 2009 7:09 AM]

Clinching Doesn't Solve Everything

The Cardinals were able to lock up the NL Central this weekend. They weren't able to lock down worries about the postseason, however.The clincher was nice and you have to give all credit to Adam Wainwright. 130 pitches and he's... [Posted on September 28, 2009 10:44 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]

Cardinals Solve The Mystery

Sorry for the delay in today's post, but the power went out at my house last night and, as far as I know, hasn't returned yet. Perhaps I need to have Mark DeRosa come by.You knew it was going to... [Posted on September 22, 2009 1:40 PM]

Razor Thin Margins

If Ryan Ludwick hits a fly ball, the Cards would have won three straight games against the Cubs in the ninth inning. What a weekend series, huh? Let's recap:Friday (3-2 win)Hero: Matt Holliday. Walk-offs in your first game in the... [Posted on September 21, 2009 9:48 AM]

UCB Project: Top 7 Prospects

Stumbling Down The Stretch

Like I said last night, who would have thought going into this home stand that the only game the Cardinals would win would be the game started by Todd Wellemeyer?The Cardinals again struggled to put anything resembling a consistent offense... [Posted on September 17, 2009 8:31 AM]

A Game Of Inches

Bases loaded. One out. Albert Pujols at the plate. Everything you'd want, as a Cardinals fan, in a scoreless game.Two out. Runner on first. Adam Wainwright on the mound. As a Cardinal fan, you feel pretty good about getting out... [Posted on September 16, 2009 8:39 AM]

Getting Run Over

Say, did anyone get the license plate of that truck?It was a pretty disappointing weekend all in all. There were glimmers of good things, but on the whole it was a dark cloud on the horizon, putting the breaks on... [Posted on September 14, 2009 9:19 AM]

Cards and Braves Tangle

Not much happened on the off day, which is pretty much what you want to hear this time of year. There's a nice article up at the Post-Dispatch about Brendan Ryan and how he's developed as a shortstop, but that's... [Posted on September 11, 2009 8:38 AM]

Cardinals Hit, Pitch, Win

Exactly how wonderful of a position for Cardinal fans was yesterday? The team already has won the first two games of the series and you've got Adam Wainwright on the hill. So things are looking pretty good.And then Albert Pujols... [Posted on September 10, 2009 8:14 AM]

Enjoy The Holliday

Some of us weren't too thrilled when John Mozeliak pulled the trigger and acquired Matt Holliday from the A's. While the future cost is still to be determined, it's safe to say the present reality makes that deal look like... [Posted on September 9, 2009 9:09 AM]

Big Weekend, Big Innings, Big Players

In case you haven't noticed--and judging by the comments, you haven't--I took a long holiday weekend and wasn't able to work my way back to the blogging platform. I may have watched more of the Cardinals than I have in... [Posted on September 8, 2009 8:13 AM]

Holliday Time

Starting Up September

Not a lot of news out of the off day. You hope that means that most of the Cardinals rested up, played some golf at Albert Pujols's charity tournament, and prepared for the final lap.With the Cubs losing last night,... [Posted on September 1, 2009 8:31 AM]

Brooms Work Fine On Nats

For the third time in August, a weekend series resulted in a clean sweep by the Cardinals. This sweep gave you some of everything--the dramatic walk off win, the explosive offense win, the Cy Young candidate win. How can you... [Posted on August 31, 2009 7:07 AM]

Offense, Bullpen Lets Down Carpenter

While Chris Carpenter wasn't the pitching Jedi yesterday that we in Cardinal Nation have come to expect, you have to think that in most times, with most bats, two runs in six innings is likely enough to get you a... [Posted on August 28, 2009 9:14 AM]

Oh, That Cardinal Pitching

I'm a pitching fan. I love seeing dominant pitching performances, low-hit games, games where you know that early runs will hold up and the game moves briskly along.That's why this incarnation of the St. Louis Cardinals is so much fun... [Posted on August 27, 2009 9:00 AM]

Something Special

While Adam Wainwright may not get his own MLB "Beyond" commercial like his first baseman did, but the Cardinal right-hander is producing some living history of his own.Wainwright stretched his streak of going at least six innings (which is serious... [Posted on August 26, 2009 8:39 AM]

Cardinals Continue To Push

It wasn't necessarily a perfect series against the Padres this weekend, but it definitely was a positive one. The Cards never lost any on their division lead and were able to push it out to eight games. They may have... [Posted on August 24, 2009 8:36 AM]

Pujols Pulls It Out

It's always good to have the best player in baseball on your team.I've said before that the great ones get it done somehow, whatever it takes. Albert Pujols proved that again tonight. He only had one official at-bat, but proved... [Posted on August 20, 2009 8:14 AM]

Can't Win Them All

Well, it's not like the Cards were going to run off a 40+ game winning streak. (Though that obviously would have been nice.) Going up against a team that has the best record in the division with their ace on... [Posted on August 19, 2009 7:04 AM]

Late Night Happiness

Putting the Padres Out to Pasture

Playing the Ace

Is there anything better in Cardinal Nation than having Chris Carpenter on the mound and dealing? What, you want an Albert Pujols home run as well? Sure!How great has it been this year to see Carpenter at the top of... [Posted on August 13, 2009 8:30 AM]

Cardinals Keep Pushing

Another day, another win and another Cubs loss. I'm pretty sure Cardinal fans could get used to this. It's nice to have that three-game cushion at the top of the standings.It's been a while since the Cards put four wins... [Posted on August 11, 2009 8:15 AM]
