Every year, the United Cardinal Bloggers set aside time in the last couple of days of December to take a look back at the biggest stories of the past twelve months. Many of the stories will be the same, but there are differences here and there and I encourage you to check out the rest [...]
All right, this is getting ridiculous. Save a Christmas parody and a devotional, I’ve not written in this space in almost a month. December’s always a busy time for me (and for most people) and so blogging does tend to take the back seat around the holidays. (Speaking of, hope you and your family had [...]
“DEAR BLOGGER: I am 8 years old. “Some of my little friends say there is no Mozeliak Claus. “Papa says, ‘If you see it at THE CARDINAL CONCLAVE it’s so.’ “Please tell me the truth; is there a Mozeliak Claus? “VIRGINIA GIBSON. “700 CLARK STREET” VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected [...]
It’s been a little quiet in the last week. Well, in Cardinal country, that is. The rest of baseball is awash in mega-millions deals, trades being made, and rumors flying like snowflakes. However, with John Mozeliak doing most of his shopping early, there’s not much to discuss around the St. Louis hot stove. So, with [...]

There were four such players on the Cardinal roster and Peter Bourjos (obviously, be silly to deal for him and then non-tender), Daniel Descalso and Jon Jay received contract offers. John [...]
If you are like me, you are big on the Cardinal t-shirts. Your closet looks like someone hit a vein over your clothes. It’s not “should I wear a Cards shirt” but rather “which Cards shirt should I wear”. The shirts, jerseys and so on define your look, especially when the heat of summer is [...]
It’s become almost a tradition in this space (wherever this space might be) to take a look at Thanksgiving from the perspective of a Cardinal fan. (See 2012, 2008, and 2007.) While a number of the items are the same on every list, that’s to be expected. For instance, most of us are thankful for [...]
It’s been a little over two weeks but we’ve come to the end of the Exit Interview series. I hope that you’ve enjoyed this look back at the 2013 season.

Last year, I spent the time immediately after the season examining each player that had made an appearance in St. Louis during the season. This series was well received and so I’m bringing this idea back for the 2013 offseason. More summaries than anything, I imagine the player coming into Mike Matheny‘s (well, in this case, [...]
