A Time Of Thanks
Cardinal Nation breathed a bit of a sigh of relief yesterday as Albert Pujols won his well-deserved third MVP.  Pujols not only didn't lose the award, but he was one of the rare unanimous selections in NL history.  Which, of course, touches off articles of praise for the best player in the game.  You have Stan Musial congratulating the best Cardinal since he played.  You have the discussion of how both the "art" and "sc

More Thoughts On The Cy Young
If you've not seen them, my selections for the Cardinal Bloggers Awards are below.  The votes are coming in from across the blogosphere and we should have some results maybe this weekend.I briefly touched on it yesterday, but I want to talk a little more about the aftermath of the Cy Young voting.  Apologies if there is some

My 2009 Cardinal Blogger Award Ballot

Big Day In Cardinal Nation
Today's the day that Cardinal fans have been anticipating since the end of the season.  We knew that Colby Rasmus wasn't going to get the Rookie of the Year award.  We knew that Tony LaRussa might make a good showing, but he wasn't going to win the Manager of the Year award.  We know that Albert Pujols is taking home MV3 (to pull out an old term and totally misuse it) next week.But Cy Young.  There's intrigue.Even though the odds are in favor of a Cardinal winning the award, it's still strongly possible that both will be shut out.  Tim Lincecum had an outstanding year for the Giants, taking home the
