This is the last of our bulk examination of the Top Cards on Twitter results. We’ll take a closer look at the Top 25, but there are still a ton of great names that need to be highlighted, most of which were solidly above average in the responses. Before we get to that, here are [...]
Really, really hard for me to believe that it’s been 12 years since a group of bloggers got together and voted on some hardware. We’ve expanded the ballot since then and we’ve also expanded our reach, allowing you the fan to participate with us. Here’s how it works. The various members of the United Cardinal [...]

This is about where we came in last year, but we’ve already gotten two posts out of the way this year. In case you missed it, here are the links: The Write-Ins (121-170) 101-120 So which Twitter accounts are in the top 100? I’m so glad you asked. Let’s start counting them down! We lead [...]
Last time out, we tackled the voluminous number of write-ins for the Top Cards on Twitter project. Now we can get into the folks that were listed on the form and, as such, got a little more support. This seems to be as good of a place as any to detail my tiebreaking method. Given [...]
Before we get any farther in this series, I have to say a huge thank you to all those that participated this year. The response was overwhelming. I mean, look at the history of respondents in this series, now in its fourth year: So we had more people give their opinions this year than all [...]
Usually John Mozeliak and crew have a season-ending press conference a couple of days after the season, well, ends. They talk about the season and the focus for the winter, what moves they feel they need to make and things they feel are a priority. When the first few days of October this year came [...]
With the regular season behind us, it’s time to start taking a look back at some of the aspects of the 2018 season. One of the hallmarks of this team was their ability to pull a game out in their last at bat. The Cardinals registered 11 wins in the walk-off fashion but even though [...]
Starting in 2015, every year as the regular season ends we take a little time to look at our Cardinal community.

Opponent: Montreal Expos Location: Busch Stadium End of day Sammy Sosa total: 66 End of day Ken Griffey Jr. total: 55 A season that started with a bang was down to its final day.
