Is Pujols Worth the Money?
Check out my latest question posed to the United Cardinal Bloggers (UCB): Is Pujols worth the contract the Cardinals must give him in order to keep him? The answer is more complicated than you might think.

The Slippery High Ground
Mark McGwire finally talked about the past yesterday, and a flood of perfect people have opened the gates to chastise him on their moral high ground. There are comments to disagree with to be sure, but everyone is focusing on the negative and not giving any thought to the positive. This article has both.
A Home for the Hollidays
The ownership has done their part to bolster the Cardinals with the signing of Matt Holliday, but is it a good deal? Some people will say that paying Holliday what he is worth is neither good nor bad (it’s just average), but is there a value in elite talent that is difficult to quantify?
My take on McGwire
“I’m here to talk about the past.” Those are the words Cardinal fans are longing to hear from their fallen slugger. Will Big Mac finally clear the air and put the issue behind him (and the rest of Cardinal Nation)?

Welcome Back to the Lumberjack
Finally, Mark McGwire is a brand name associated with St. Louis Cardinal baseball again. No longer a steroid-fueled pariah, he is undoubtedly anxious to not talk about the past and resume his life of contribution to the game. His role as hitting coach hopefully will be viewed as an offering of an olive branch to [...]

Guess Who?
Hi. My name is Kevin, and I am new here. I have been asked to fill in for a post or two, kind of like a spot start. Think of me as your very own Mitchell Boggs. Hopefully, I’ll be good enough to warrant keeping around for a while. If not, hey, no big deal [...]
Dénouement… a.k.a. the Post Mortem
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times… That’s how I feel about the Cardinals in 2009. This season was unlike any other we’ve experienced as Cardinal fans. Unlike 2008 or 2007, the team actually looked great for long stretches of the season. This was the best regular season since 2005, and the team may have a lot to look forward to in the coming years… or they may not.
Playoff Pitching & Matchups
With the playoff races winding down, I thought it would be a great time to look at the playoff scenarios and the top pitchers for each team. Who will the Cardinals face? How do our pitchers match up?
Oh Wagner, what have we done?
You may recall reading whiteyball blogger Michael Riehn’s posting of his top Cardinals prospects a few days ago. Below was his write up on number 5 prospect, Dominican native Wagner Mateo.

We’re Out There… And Loving Every Minute of It!
The Cardinals recent moves have really been paying off in the short term. Is it worth the cost of the players they gave up? Is there a free agent advantage that hasn’t been discussed?
