How do you break up a lifetime of Cardinal memories into one post? While I wasn’t around to see Stan Musial swing the bat, Bob Gibson strikeout hitters or Lou Brock steal a base, I’ve seen a lot of great baseball moments in my time. The United Cardinal Bloggers are sharing their Cardinal memories today, and I decided to add my personal ‘top 9′ to the list.

Have you ever wanted to hang out at Pujols’ locker? What would it be like to visit the field, or see where the Cardinals prepare for their games? Monday, I had the opportunity to visit Busch Stadium during the Cardinal’s “Season Ticket Holder Appreciation Night”. It was emceed by Cardinals announcer Jay [...]
If you didn’t catch the interview last Tuesday with Ozzie Smith by Daniel Shoptow, please go take a listen by clicking here. It’s worth your time. Not only did Daniel get the chance to interview one of his childhood heroes on Tuesday, next Tuesday 6/23, another UCB member will be interviewing a Cardinal [...]
Daniel Shoptow, from the Cardinal Blog C70 at the bat (www.cardinal70.com), will be interviewing Ozzie Smith at 1:30 PM tomorrow (Tuesday). If you’d like to hear the interview, click here for more details.
So I just got done watching Cliff Lee, a lefty, dispatch the Cardinals with all haste (even if the ump was being a little generous – and he was – did you see that pitch to Tyler Greene? WOW) and was checking daily scores and more importantly my fantasy baseball league when I noticed news [...]

Tuesday I took a look at the Cardinals trade options, and preached patience. Today I will be looking at our roster and lineup configurations and have an entirely different view.
The Cardinals bats awoke last night for a great victory, but work still needs to be done. The roster construction and lineup has [...]
I really, really like what the Cardinals did on Day 1 of the draft.As milb.com’s Lisa Winston put it, “You must be doing cartwheels!” Honestly, that is how I felt.
Here is my rundown over at Scout.com. Here is the MLB.com video of Miller.
The Cardinals’ second pick, Robert Stock.
And video of third round pick Joe Kelly.

Is a trade the right answer to fix the Cardinals current woes? What are we willing to give up for the quick fix and what are the long term ramifications?
Watching Cardinals baseball this weekend was simply hard to do. The starters seemed to hang in there until they realized the team’s offense wasn’t going to get it done, and then, well, yikes. The only signs of life with the bats came from Pujols and Rasmus. I think I saw flashes of the old Ludwick [...]
There is a group of hitters that must perform better in order for this offense to excel. With everyone talking about our hole at third base, I think they are missing the point. If you want to know why the Cardinals haven’t been hitting, look past 3rd base into one of our supposed strengths. You will find the answer there.
Getting a Cy Young caliber pitcher back from the disabled list can do wonders for a team’s psyche. Chris Carpenter’s effect on the rest of the staff has been nothing short of amazing.
My posts have been sporadic to say the least but the blog has certainly been in great hands. I have been doing quite a bit of research concerning the draft.
Chad James is the name I keep hearing with the St. Louis Cardinals at number 19. When watching his video on MLB, it is obvious there [...]
It’s the 6th innning of the May 23rd game against the Kansas City Royals and the Cards pitching is on fire. The staff was solid April and then really struggled in early May only to bounce back with performances that Tony LaRussa called the best stretch of starting pitching that he has ever seen. [...]
As you may or may not know, my wife and I will be bringing Lincoln Kenneth Dobbins, a future Cardinal fan (if not starting pitcher), into the world on or around August 14th of this year. Earlier this month over Mother’s Day weekend, we took a trip to Ohio to visit my dad’s side of [...]
As the Cardinals slowly start to get healthy again, we’re able to look back and examine exactly where things fell apart while keeping an eye out for potential future moves. The most glaring need right now is at third. Mike wrote an excellent post last week, “I Don’t Know” is on Third Base, with the [...]
