Midwesterners Sure Do Love Their Lawn Mowin' T-Shirts

Would Any Names Shock You At This Point?
Now that A-Rod's been outed as a 2003 steroid user, many are wondering when the other 103 names on that not-so-mysterious list will be revealed. Would any player's name surprise you?...

Albert Pujols Will Bring Pro Soccer To St. Louis If It's The Last Thing He Does
Major League Soccer, still the only professional sport with a Pizza Hut Park, is expanding, and our own Albert Pujols wants to get in on the action. The National League MVP-elect (there's an inauguration, right?) is throwing his weight behind St. Louis' bid to bring an MLS franchise through the Arch...
Pujols Breaks Down, Will Not Be Shot
We all know that Ken Griffey Jr. is injury prone, but is it communicable? No sooner had the Cardinals landed in Cincinnati than Albert Pujols pulled up lame — strained calf — and had to be taken off the field in a wheelbarrow. Earlier he had teamed with Super Friend Rick Ankiel for back-to-back home...
It Is Not Wise To Anger Albert Pujols
Now this is what you like to see. Albert Pujols, immersed in controversy, steaming mad and clouting homers. The Cardinals ripping up the NL Central despite preseason predictions of Epic Fail. Tony La Russa, legally sober according to state law. On Wednesday, Pujols — perhaps angered by this post — e...
Finding Harry Pujols
OK Brian Suksomwong, you've got some competition. Meet Harry Pujols — he's Albert's cousin — who is a graphic artist from San Francisco. OK, OK, simmer down, class. It's not nice to make fun of people's names. Although, Harry chose to call himself that; he could have gone with Harold but didn't....
Do Not Bother Pujols While He Is Pop-A-Shotting
From the random and bizarre corner of our sports planet, Gas Lamp Ball has photos of Albert Pujols randomly playing Pop-A-Shot at a Chuck-E-Cheese. (We love Chuck-E-Cheese, by the way.)...
In Case You Forgot Who Was Managing The NL ...
We only caught the last couple of innings of the All-Star game on DVR last night/this morning, so we can only conjecture forthwith that, if the last inning was any indicator, this was actually one of the fun ones. Ichiro hit an inside-the-parker, A-Rod was thrown out at home, the immortal Victor Mar...
Albert Pujols Knows Who Wrote The Star-Spangled Banner
A few years ago, Red Sox dingbat Manny Ramirez garnered some rare positive press for becoming an American citizen and carrying an American flag through the outfield. Wednesday, Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols became an American citizen by acing his citizenship test, scoring a perfect 100 perce...
Albert Pujols Not Only Wants MVP, He Wants Your "Best Boss Ever" Coffee Mug
It might not be the most pleasant matter for us to bring up here, but we kind of have to come out and say it: Our man Albert Pujols came off as a bit of a jerk yesterday....
Ryan Howard Gives Philly Something Small To Be Happy About
Hey, Philly fans, good news: No need to cause bodily harm to yourself or others. You finally have a beacon of light in Philadelphia. One might even say it's always sunny....
Albert Pujols, In A Proud And Photogenic Moment
We're as pleased as anyone by the Cardinals' series-clinching victory over the Mets Padres last night, but, honestly, they really shouldn't allow still cameras to take pictures of the postgame celebrations. They inevitably lead to photographs that are, well, uncomfortable to look at. (Though we appr...
Being Brad Lidge
We are accustomed, in sports, to one moment changing everything; it's probably the main reason we watch. But it's forever fascinating to see how one moment can affect a human being, morphing them from a dominant force of nature to a scared boy in big pants, alone out there. These moments can't make ...
The Closer: Oh, How We've Missed It All!
Notes from a day in baseball:...
They're Baaaack ... What They're Saying About Clemens and Pujols
It was the day we've all been waiting for; sitting on the edge of our bed in our Cardinals pajamas (your pajamas may vary). The glorious return of Albert Pujols and Roger Clemens. And even though both got upstaged (by Anthony Reyes and Francisco Liriano, respectively) and their teams lost on Thurs...
KC Trainer Responds, Denies Affidavit Cameo
OK, probably time for a Jason Grimsley update....
So ... We've Got Some Affidavit Names
Everyone's guessing about who the blacked-out names in the Jason Grimsley report are, and it has been a fun parlor game so far. But we all knew eventually the names would get out. And we've been digging around ... and some sources have given us some names....
