My UCB Weekend Fun

My UCB Weekend Fun


Many of you realize that I am a member of the group called ‘United Cardinal Bloggers’. (1)  Well the weekend of September 8th and 9th we had what we call ‘UCB Weekend’.  It consisted of an event on Saturday night and the St. Louis Cardinals game on Sunday.  It was actually way more than that.  It […]

Baseball America

Baseball America


Over the past year here at Born Bleeding, I have posted over 40 blogs.  With the one year anniversary coming up on Saturday, I thought I would ask my friend and fellow blogger, Aimee Whetstine from Everyday Epistle to write something for me.  Aimee is no baseball expert but after reading what she wrote, she […]

Jake Westbrook Dominoes

Jake Westbrook Dominoes


The first thing that I thought when the St. Louis Cardinals announced they agreed to pick up the option for Jake Westbrook for next year and have a mutual option for 2014 was what about the rest of the Cardinals starting pitchers?  I mean they have Adam Wainwright, Jaime Garcia, Westbrook, Lance Lynn, Joe Kelly, […]

Cool Anniversary


I was asked by fellow Cardinal Blogger, Chris Jaffe, to look at his blog today since it was a cool anniversary.  I read it and am sharing the link to it as he requested.  So I guess Chris and Hardball Times are my first guest blogger, even though it’s all his writing and I am […]

All-Star Roster Thoughts


With the All-Star Game rosters being revealed Sunday, I thought this would be a good time to share who I voted for and maybe some insight.  I am a bit of a homer at times. Let’s start in the National League: C-Buster Posey-San Francisco Giants.  Yadier Molina-St. Louis Cardinals.  Yadi is having a career year.  […]

My Royals and Marlins Thoughts


I was lucky enough to go to the Friday and Saturday games of the St. Louis Cardinals sweep of the Kansas City Royals in Kansas City at Kaufmann Stadium.  It is a nice park.  Not sure if it’s nice enough to host an All-Star game, but they didn’t ask my opinion. On Friday night, my […]

What Jack and Darryl Did For Cardinals Nation and America


Next week will be the 10 year anniversaries of the deaths of Jack Buck and Darryl Kile. 10 years.  Wow.  I remember these events better than some things I did last week.  It took the Angels coming to town for the first time in their history to take Jack Buck up to heaven.  I remember […]

Is Cardinals Nation Spoiled?


Recently, a few of us have noticed that on Twitter, people are whining about the St. Louis Cardinals.  I mean not just your Tyler Greene haters, but the people who are saying we should overhaul this whole team now.  Sheesh people, it’s just the start of June.  Injuries have hit this team pretty hard and […]

Matheny Era is Alive and Well


If there is any doubt that the St. Louis Cardinals have moved on from Tony LaRussa to a new style with Mike Matheny, today’s move of DFAing J.C. Romero and calling up Eduardo ‘Nasty’ Sanchez proves it.  Fresh off of a weekend that included honoring LaRussa by retiring his number, being swept by the Atlanta […]

Contest Winners!


Let me apologize for taking so long in posting the winners.  It took me a while to get all the information from the winners.  I also had an issue.  I got sent extra copies of the BluRay, so I ended up giving away 4 of them.  Here is a reminder of the prize: BASEBALL’S GREATEST […]
