More Thoughts On The Cy Young
If you've not seen them, my selections for the Cardinal Bloggers Awards are below.  The votes are coming in from across the blogosphere and we should have some results maybe this weekend. I briefly touched on it yesterday , but I want to talk a little more about the aftermath of the Cy ...

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 winners, you can find them here (2007) and here (2008). ...

Cy Not In The Cards
Cy Not In The Cards
cardinal70.com — (OK, I'm sure that'll be a headline used by just about everyone.  Nobody's ever said I was creative.) The news is out , and Tim Lincecum won another Cy Young, beating out Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright.  It was a ridiculously tight ... (more) Cy Not In The Cards
Big Day In Cardinal Nation
Today's the day that Cardinal fans have been anticipating since the end of the season.  We knew that Colby Rasmus wasn't going to get the Rookie of the Year award.  We knew that Tony LaRussa might make a good showing, but he wasn't going to win the Manager of the Year award.  We ...

Not Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay
News continues to be a slow and very small trickle at this time of year, so I was a little surprised to see an interesting story on the Post-Dispatch website this morning.  According to John Mozeliak, Jason Bay is not a priority . It's quite a change from the interest the organization had ...

Still Marking Time
The dead period continues, as a few rumors might trickle out during this period before the official start to free agency but not much else.  Just a slow time for a baseball fan. There's not even much Cardinal-related on MLB Trade Rumors , though I do note that one GM states Matt Holliday ...

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 the odds of Matt Holliday returning ...

The Beginning of Everything
The general managers get together starting today in Chicago.  While this is a preview of the big "winter meetings" that will be held next month in Indianapolis, there's not expected to be much of a ripple made in the offseason pond from this gathering.  Joe Strauss sets the scene not ...

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 and lost, you can see that's not completely the reasoning.  Besides, it's ...

UCB Roundtable: Final Question
So sorry for the lack of posting.  Between a crazy schedule at work and a lack of Cardinal news, there's just not been anything to put up. Last month, the United Cardinal Bloggers did their annual roundtable at the end of the season.  I posed my question last and have been meaning to ...

Continuing Reaction
The ripples from Monday's press conference are still rolling around Cardinal Nation.  Without Mark McGwire there to answer questions, the reverberations may continue for quite some time. The latest two questions in the UCB Roundtable dealt with McGwire.  Bernie Mikalsz and Brian ...

Big News On Many Fronts
For an offseason weekend with a team already out of the playoffs, there have been some seismic shakes going on in St. Louis. First, the relatively expected news that Tony LaRussa will be back at the helm of the Cardinals for his 15th season with the Redbirds.  One report indicated that it ...

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 job, that's what I do. For example, there's a story up at ...

BBA Ballot: National League MVP
I never knew. MVP voting has always been interesting to me, nice to see who wins, interesting to see what the rationale for the voters was (if they share).  Beyond that, though, I'd never given it a lot of thought. Then, this year, I am one of the official ballots (Mike over at Stan ...
