Just thought everyone might be interested in how our ex 3rd baseman has faired since leaving St. Louis. This has to be the best move by Mo to date. I can remember how so many people were screaming for Rolen to stay with the birds, but at this point I'm thankful for an awesome trade. I hope the Cards can keep Glaus for a couple more years, he's soft spoken but he's done a great job for us. You have to wonder what life would have been like for Rolen minus Hee Seop Choi. :( Got to feel sorry for Rolen knowing that he'll never be the same player again. At least he got his ring.

Cardinal Allstars

Hey everyone, just in case you haven't, I thought we could give a push to some deserving Cardinal All-Star Candidates. You can vote up to 25 times at mlb.com. Right now as I speak the obvious deserving Cardinals are as follows:

El Hombre - he's in fine shape sitting second behind Mr. Berkmann (obviously)

Ankiel - Ninth in outfielder voting - we could push him in (his glove sets him apart)

Ludwick - 14th in outfielder voting - once again we can push him in (hopefully he'll knock out four or five more before the All-Star game)

Yadi - Currently he sits at third - He's batting close to .300 and has been getting some bigger ribbies, the arm speaks for itself...

I think these guys are all very deserving... let's support the crew who has us living a playoff pipedream for the moment....

VEB Community I need your help!

Hi Everyone,

I'm a HUGE Cardinal fan like the rest of you, but also on the side I'm a freelance writer. I think it's awesome how we all interact before, during and after our Cards play. I'm writing an article that pertains to VEB and how technology is changing the way we look at baseball and how we view our teams and their games. I'm looking for some of you to help me out by participating in a couple of interviews to help me round out my story. If you don't want your identity known, that's completely fine, you can stay anonymous. Ideally I would like to ask maybe 10-15 questions over the telephone. If you're uncomfortable doing that I would accept even thread or email correspondence. I think this would be a great opportunity to further promote VEB and allow for more contributions from new users. If you're at all interested please reply to my post.

As always let's go Birds!

Thanks,

Jeff AKA RedbirdDude
