My St. Louis Cardinals Burton History Tree Thoughts
On Saturday September 8th of this year, Burton History Trees (1) did a presentation at UCB weekend (2) to members of the United Cardinal Bloggers. (3) I was immediately intrigued by the possibility of having something out there that showed every St. Louis Cardinals player in history on it. They asked for our help in […]
In The End, It Was a Good Year
I was among many local bloggers and or writers that picked the St. Louis Cardinals to go to the World Series. I believe most of them did it with a biased heart. They were filled with hope. Call me maybe a little guilty of that myself. I thought there would be little drop off. That […]
That Wacky Wild Card Friday
It started with two pitchers each playoff rookie manager trusted. It ended with some interesting actions by one team’s fans, a player retiring, and one quoting scripture that sounds like he probably won’t be coming back to that team. The commissioner’s office got what they wanted. I heard someone call it a WWE title match […]
Season’s Reflections and Post Season Preview
Well 162 games are down the drain and Major League Baseball is down to 10 teams in the playoffs. This season had a different feel for me with my beloved St. Louis Cardinals. There was some interesting high expectation and I think the Cardinals finished about where I thought they would by making it into […]

1 Year Anniversary of Born Bleeding
Today, September 1, 2012, marks the one year anniversary of my first post (1) on Born Bleeding. When I started this blog a year ago, and after over 40 posts I have written, I would never have guessed all the things that happened this past year. While writing about the St. Louis Cardinals I got […]
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, […]
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 […]
