Man, This Stadium Sucks
Well, we have to say, we didn't exactly expect our first game at the new Busch Stadium to have the feel of a U.S.-Japan World Cup Softball Game. By the fourth inning of the Cardinals' 15-3 loss to the Braves, we were roaming the park freely, searching for cracks in the woodwork and doing anything ...

What you missed while while being watching Jorge Freaking Sosa hit a home run ... • MLB: Oh, the shame. Braves 15, Cardinals 3. Time now for many beers. • Poker: Jeff Madsen, 21, wins World Series of Poker on money borrowed from parents. Also, he left their stereo equalizer with a preponderance of b...
At Last, The New Busch
We know, we're checking out a half hour earlier than usual today, but you can blame ESPN for that: Tonight, for the first time, we will see the new concoction our beloved Cardinals have built: We're visiting the new Busch Stadium tonight. (Hence our checking out early; ESPN has the game starting at ...
Curt Schilling Can't Live Without His Modem
As anyone who has ever been around Sons Of Sam Horn can attest, Red Sox LEGEND AND HERO Curt Schilling tends to spend a little too much time on the computer. (We can attest to this too; he's even emailed us.)...
The Man With The Indestructible Arm
We love it when other countries play American sports in a way that points out the way we do it might be wrong. It happened in the NBA a few years ago...
It's Always Sunny In San Francisco, Apparently
Philadelphia pitcher Brett Myers, everybody's favorite wife flattener, returned to the Phillies yesterday for a game against the Giants in San Francisco. Before the game, he had given a statement apologizing for his actions and saying he was getting counseling. It sounded sincere enough that you w...
One Final Monday-Cooper Explosion ... Be Ready
So if you're like us and you spend your weekends doing everything you can to avoid the computer, you might not know about this yet. So we feel like maybe you should sit down. Take a deep breath. You might not be ready....

Cowboys Safety Keith Davis Shot
Dallas Cowboys safety Keith Davis is recovering from two gunshot wounds sustained last night during a drive-by shooting on a Dallas highway. His condition is listed as stable, and despite being shot in the head and in the thigh, his injuries aren't considering life-threatening....
Rollie Fingers Would've Never Allowed This To Happen
An odd little statistical anomaly occured in baseball last night. For the first time in almost 28 years, Major League Baseball played a full day of games with nobody recording a save. There were six save attempts, and every single one of them was blown. Whatever disease it is that Trevor Hoffman h...
About Last Night...
• Boxing: Shane Mosley over Fernando Vargas, 6th round TKO. If you missed this one, it's OK. They'll probably come up with some lame reason to have another rematch in a few months. • MLB: Indians 2, Twins 6. Johan Santana resumes being Johan Santana, and Justin Morneau continues to punish the baseba...
"One Shining Moment," It Is Not
Let's see... How do I go about explaning this to you. I, um... well... it's a song, that comes courtesy of Kentucky Sports Radio. It's a song written by the man pictured to your right, and... well, if you tried to imagine a song written and performed by that guy pictured to your right, it would so...
It Just Keeps Giving
I'm afraid I gave you only part of the story with the earlier Mike Cooper post. Carl Monday has gotten himself involved again, and where there's Carl Monday, there's more story....
You Will Not Be Represented By Kobe Bryant This Summer
Reports (from no less than the awesome "ESPN.com news services") are surfacing that Kobe Bryant had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee this summer, and thus, won't be suiting up for Team USA's training camp, or pre-World Championship tour. The surgery itself is described as minor, but it is go...
Mike Cooper Avoids Jail Time; Prison Showers
The sentence has come down, once again, courtesy of our man Jimbo. Mike Cooper, he of library-masturbating fame, was found guilty, and was fined $150 plus court costs. That's it. Bail was $500,000, and the fine is $150. All is well that ends well, I suppose. Who among us hasn't paid $150 for an or...
About Last Night...
• MLB: Braves 15, Padres 12. Trevor Hoffman is starting to make a habit out of blowing saves. • WNBA: New York Liberty 66, Seattle Storm 86. The loss drops the Liberty to 4-15, which sounds just about right for a pro basketball team in NYC. Does Isiah Thomas have a sister? • MLB: White Sox 5, Yankee...
The Mike Cooper Sentencing ... You Are There!
Well, the Mike Cooper sentencing is over, and our man Jimbo was, indeed, there. We're still not sure precisely what Cooper's sentence was — Jimbo didn't make it that far into the proceedings — but he was there, and he even captured Cooper and his parents on his camera phone ... kind of....
"I'm The Hoff" In Milwaukee
The recent surge in baseball stadiums encouraging fans to send text messages to show on the scoreboard is an encouraging one; we've heard rumors of a "You're With Me, Leather" at Busch Stadium, though no screenshot exists yet, and we haven't hit the zenith of a "Get Away From Me, Carl Monday" at Jac...
Do Not Date Flozell Adams, Girls
A Web site we hadn't heard of before called Don't Date Him, Girl purports to list the names and descriptions of guys that girls should, you know, not date, girl. Web sites like this make us nervous, so after we searched for our own name and the names of almost all our friends, we were pointed to t...
