Examining The Pitching Options

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]

Three Days, Two Losses, One Rainout

The problem with day games when I have other responsibilities that keep me from watching them is that the games seem like they never happened.  They are just recaps and numbers and you don't get a feel for how the...  [Posted on April 20, 2009 10:12 AM]
