Pirates Broadcasters Load Up Their Diapers Over Dumb Unwritten Rules Violation
The Pirates got pounded to hell by the dreaded Cardinals Wednesday night, eventually losing by the score of 14–8.

Yasiel Puig Starts Very Uncommon Double Play With Very Badass Throw
Harrison Bader of the St. Louis Cardinals is really, really fast, but that speed certainly does not give him license to behave in a disrespectful manner!

Cardinals Flamethrower Jordan Hicks Shredded His Pitching Elbow

Vanderbilt Responds To "Fuck You" Barrage From Louisville Pitcher With Ninth-Inning Rally
Louisville’s Luke Smith was pitching his ass off against Vanderbilt on Friday. Through eight innings, the junior had struck out 10 while only giving up three hits and one earned run.

Jack Flaherty Gets Picked Off To End The Game, Soaks In His Failure On The Field
This has happened to the Cardinals before, albeit on a much bigger stage. St. Louis was down 7-6 in the bottom of the 11th inning, with two outs and pinch-runner Jack Flaherty on second base, when Marlins reliever Sergio Romo whipped around for a game-ending pickoff, to the dismay of the home crowd....

Steve Keim Has Built Something Beautifully Dumb In The Desert
For a while there was at least Ryan Grigson, and that was enough. A perfectly rectangular former NFL lineman partial to tactical sunglasses and oddly shiny suits, Grigson always projected the sense that he was imagining himself as the lead in a 1990s action movie called Executive Force. In his first...
More Like Adam Wayne-Rooney, Am I Right
The perennially overhyped Washington Nationals loaded the bases against Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright in the second inning of Tuesday night’s game in D.C.

The Cardinals Were Dumb Enough To Pitch To Christian Yelich Again
How did they not learn? One day after Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich smacked three taters and dropped seven RBI on them in a 10-7 win, the St. Louis Cardinals chose to pitch to him again. Why, idiots?...
Christian Yelich Has Been A Human Fireball Against The Cardinals
When Christian Yelich homered in the first four games of the season, all of which were against the St. Louis Cardinals, it was a fun curio—a hot streak carried over from the Brewers right fielder’s MVP season last year and a great player being great in an unusual way. Gabe Fernandez even wrote about...
Marcell Ozuna Demonstrates The Dangers Of Trying Too Hard
In the top of the eighth inning with nobody on and nobody out, Kiké Hernandez hit the ball deep into left field.
