Your morning roundup for March 2, the day universal health care finally failed.

This photo, shot in the wake of the Cardinals' announcement that Chris Carpenter will have Tommy John surgery, reveals just how matters are going in St. Louis right now. 2006 World Series ... 2006 World Series ... 2006 World Series ... we must remember while we still can.

Last night's Cardinals 5-0 victory over the Tigers to take a 2-1 lead in the World Series was, we will confess, not exactly the type of game you'll remember 10 years from now.

We'd like to thank Joe Sports Fan for this photo of a true Cardinals superfan; this is exactly what we're wearing to the game tomorrow.
