The St. Louis Cardinals have announced their first 2011 Social Media Night, to be held Tuesday evening, May 17 as the Cardinals entertain the Philadelphia Phillies at Busch Stadium. Special $20 event tickets are already on sale, which include a Lower Left Field Box seat for the game, a special pre-game social hour and event t-shirt.
The Cardinal Nation Blog will be giving away two of these special tickets for free. Here is how you can win.
Submit an article about any Cardinals-related topic, past or present, major or minor league-focused. The best articles will be published here on the blog and the winner will be awarded the tickets. That is all there is to it!
All submissions need to be emailed to me at brian at thecardinalnationblog.com no later than Wednesday, May 4. The winner will be announced on Saturday, May 7.
The sooner your article is submitted, the better chance it will have to be seen. I will be the final decision-maker on the winner, but reader input will also be taken into consideration.
Don’t forget to include your Facebook address and Twitter id so they can be publicized as well. What a great way to make new Cardinals friends and acquire new followers!
Even if you don’t live in the St. Louis area or cannot attend the May 17 game, you can still submit your article and have a chance to win. A free three-month subscription to TheCardinalNation.com will be offered as an alternative to the first-place winner – if the entrant requests this at the time of article submission. In that case, we will have two winners, as the tickets will be awarded to another entrant able to attend the game.

Anything I write will probably start a fight.
Not unless it is personal. In fact, if you do participate, you might end up pulling in Jumbo too, just as a counterbalance.
Can articles be submitted by on-line identity, or only by real life identity?
Great question, LeRoy Jones, er blingboy.
Seriously, if the author prefers to use only their online name, I am ok with that.
So we have our < .500 OPS hitter batting 6th. Can he come through?
What did I say in the other thread? Westbrook couldn’t do worse on 3 days rest than he was doing on 4.
Good job by Pujols to run out that infield pop up. Did he even leave the batters box? This wan’t about saving his legs, he could have been almost to first with his typical jog.
He wore himself out on that SB.
Nice drive by Yadi in the rain. Crdswmn will be happy to see it in person.
Wonder if Tony will use the young RPs in bad weather.
Does he have a choice?
So he does a slow jog, tweaks a hammy, and has to leave.
Smart sending in Franky when Phillips is up, to mask the boos.
Oops, thought it was Franky.
He won’t miss a game………….he’s a professional………….
Molina got beat in the down and in zone on the hit and run AB last night………swing and a miss, followed by a pop up on the identical pitch……………. when he went to the plate tonight I was saying that he was being smart by moving off the plate……at least 4/6 inches…….first pitch 9 iron in to the bleachers…………………. he will be taking the big swing for the month of May at least…….batting average will go down 20 points…………..at least he is adjusting and paying attention………
I’m liking the look of Salas-Sanchez-Boggs as 7th-8th-9th inning guys.
Despite the criticism of some here, Motte has also been extremely effective this year to date.
Its good for Westbrook to pitch a fine game. This will help him continue to improve. We have 5 pitchers who could each win 15 games. They may not be brilliant, but they can get the job done.
Salas, Sanchez and Boggs are a good way to complete the whitewash.
Good call on Westbrook, Jumbo. (On the previous thread)
Maybe Brian’s concern for poor Salas will prove unneeded.
Descalso is a steady hand at 3rd. He eats wet horsehide for lunch. Too bad he can’t hit.
Colby looked like the old Colby.
Liked Lance at 1B.
Wow. I was wet from head to toe, but I loved every minute of it. My section went crazy when Yadi jacked one over the fences. I was high fiving total strangers. Great game.
That makes for great memories crdswmn.
I was eating smoked wild hog and watchin with family.
Fox sports and the AP should read your articles Brian. The article on thier site says that Westbrook’s start on three day’s rest was the first of his career, but you dug up a couple priors.
The Cards have Oquendo as their secret weapon. We have Tom Orf.
