We’ve come to the final stop on our look at the postseason teams (unlike Deadspin, we’ve got a reason to not include the Cardinals in this) as we look at the other half of the other NLDS, the New York Mets. The Mets, perhaps more than any other team in the postseason derby, weren’t supposed [...]
As the leader of the United Cardinal Bloggers, it’s typically on my plate to pick the projects that we are going to do each month. Many of our projects are pretty standard, but there are a few months that give us the freedom to do something different. August is one of those months and, when [...]
After a terribly rough Cincinnati series, especially from the perspective of the offense, expectations were tempered for this weekend. Sure, the Rockies’ pitching staff was one of the worst in the league, especially if you look at it through the ERA lens, but we know what such statistics have been worth in the past. After [...]
“Jeez, I’m out of it for a little while, everyone gets delusions of grandeur!”–Han Solo I should know by now not to go anywhere at this time of year. I still remember finding out about the Ryan Ludwick trade sitting in a McDonald’s in Ohio, for instance. Sadly, given my work schedule, it seems the [...]
All things Star Wars need a trilogy and the third annual Star Wars Night at the Ballpark is tonight at Busch Stadium. For the first time, this noted fan of both franchises will be in attendance, hoping that we avoid the casualties that we saw in the first two. Last year, we used the struggles [...]
Not a bad weekend for the Cardinals. Two of three and they had a shot at the third in the late innings, which is probably all you can really ask without getting pretty greedy. Let’s take a look. Friday (4-2 win) Hero: Randal Grichuk. Two for three with a two-run home run that started the [...]
Team Mickey Day, Star Wars Night and Lou Brock Bobblehead highlight the eighth homestand of 2015 ST. LOUIS, July 23, 2015– The Cardinals are back at Busch for an 11-game stretch which kicks off tonight with a make-up game versus the Kansas City Royals. The homestand continues with a three-game series with both the Atlanta [...]
If last night was a roller coaster, it’d have been shut down due to the extreme drops and rises being unsafe for public health. From the highs of a 4-0 lead behind Michael Wacha to the lows of a questionable non-strike call and a bases-clearing, lead-erasing double to the pinnacle of a lightning strike with [...]
It’s one of the annual traditions here at C70 At The Bat, our trip around the majors in blog form. Since 2009, I’ve been asking bloggers from other teams about what’s going to happen with their squad in the coming season. It’s always fun to see what the opposition is thinking and how optimistic some [...]

After a quiet fall, the podcast fires back up as I chat with another member of The Conclave. Doug and I have a nice back-and-forth plus, as a bonus, I talk Star Wars. (I know, I know, but it’s at the end so you can skip it.)
The United Cardinal Bloggers like to keep things interesting during the season and put together these projects. One month may be a roundtable where questions are presented and others include a set of questions for the writers to answer themselves. It’s a lot of fun and a way to decompress from the drama of a [...]
