Rick Ankiel Is Going To Be Here Any Minute Now
Oh, it's so close now, friends ... As you know, our serious, debilitating man crush on Rick Ankiel makes it nearly impossible for us to have even the slightest bit of perspective on him. Every time we think about him, we want to give him a Harold Reynolds. We still wear the jersey every time we play...
Let's Laugh At The Dancing Red Sox Fans
Just to pile on ... some douchey Red Sox fans....
How Mark McGwire Will Get You On Jury Duty
Part of our job is to bring you the best links we can from around the Web, highlighting all the talented people doing amazing things simply because they love it. But the site we think might be the best, and the one we read more religiously than any other, is Viva El Birdos. We don't link it that oft...
Miami Cops Just Want To Have Fun
Before we get into "The Sopranos" and Tim Duncan and an odd new reality "show" ESPN's starting, we thought we'd bring up this little nugget of potential amusement, from yesterday's Palm Beach Post, via our man Lt. Winslow. It appears that the cops who arrested Tony La Russa back in March were comple...
Yeah, Laugh It Up, Rick. Jerk. (Just Kidding, We Love You!)
This happened a while ago, but this is the first we've seen of it....
Great Moments In Foul Ball Retrieval
As we continue to try to come to terms with the gruesome spectacle that is the 2007 St. Louis Cardinals, we note that, these days, even the ballboys are afraid of the baseball....
That's All We Needed Was MORE Paris Hilton Jokes
So that Peyton Manning on SNL appearance that we all liked a little more than we were expecting? Well, turns out the main reason Matt Leinart fired his agents last week is because that wasn't him on the show....
Why You Shouldn't Get A Tattoo In An Extreme Emotional State
We don't have any tattoos, but if we were ever to go through with one, it would have been, obviously, after the Cardinals won the World Series last year. One Cardinals fan had the same idea, and, well, considering his experience, we're glad we didn't go through with it....
R.I.P., Josh Hancock
A week and a half ago, our parents went to San Francisco, ostensibly to visit our sister. As is always the case with the Leitches, they tied their visit to a Cardinals game; they come to New York once a year too, whenever the Cardinals come to Shea. These yearly visits, and their (and our sister's) ...
Cardinals Pitcher Josh Hancock Killed In Auto Accident

Time For 12 Hours Of Names Being Read Aloud!
We will never forget last year's NFL Draft, when poor Matt Leinart suddenly realized he'd been drafted by The Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals. We look forward to a similar reaction from Wisconsin offensive lineman Joe Thomas tomorrow, who might just jump off his fishing boat and try to drown h...
This Was Not Done By Aliens
As someone who knows the open spaces and empty fields of the Midwest as well as anyone — we lost our virginity in one, after all — we understand how boring it can get out there, how it can feel as if you have no creative outlet and no one to listen to you....
An Opening Night Loss? No Problem!
On Faith And Fear In Flushing yesterday, Jason Fry wrote that the Opening Night game between the Cardinals and Mets at Busch Stadium last night was lose-lose for the Mets and win-win for the Cardinals. A Mets loss would remind of misery, and a win would just remind of what could have been; meanwhile...
Opening Day Eve, Or Whatever They Call This
Tonight, The St. Louis Cardinals begin their defense of the World Championship. Providing the opposition for the World Champion Cardinals will be the New York Mets, who are not World Champions, and who the Cardinals beat in the NLCS last year en route to a World Championship. On the hill for the Met...
Your NL Central "Preview"
Look, guys: We didn't pick the Cardinals! (We still think they'll win the wild card.) Yes, our flirtation with the Brewers continues; we actually picked them to win the wild card at midseason last year. So there's that....
Strangely, The Statue Is All Natural
See, this is why you should hold off of bronzing your players until they've been retired for a while....
Baseball Season Preview: St. Louis Cardinals
You might remember, from back at the beginning of the NFL season, when we previewed each team by having a writer we liked write about their favorite team....
Even Geniuses Sometimes Forget To Put The Car In Park
So, you've just won your first non-earthquake-related World Series and are on top of the baseball world. You're preparing your team for a mostly unheard of (these days) title repeat. Everyone over the age of 40 thinks you're a genius, and everyone under 40 can't figure out why you still think it's c...
