This Morning, It Seems Like Everyone Is Named Carlos
As usual when we watch a playoff baseball game involving our beloved Cardinals, we spent the first four innings of last night's Mets-Cardinals NLCS Game 4 pacing around the room, muttering to ourselves, randomly spitting out expletives and all together looking like anything but someone engaging in a...

It Was Never Going To Be That Easy
If you'll forgive yet another reference ... that really escalated. We mean, that got out of hand fast....

Perhaps This Could Have Waited
I realize that we probably shouldn't expect a lot of dignity from the New York Post, but... well, this is a bit much. The above cartoon ran in the New York Post yesterday, and while I haven't seen a ton of outrage about it, the person who sent in the tip says that several radio guys were freaking ...

One Series Almost Over, One Just Getting Started
For a while last night, it seemed like there was a pretty good chance that the Tigers/A's series would actually be over before the Mets/Cardinals game. The Cardinals posted a manly three-run ninth inning to finally win a 3-hour and 58-minute game that did not go into extra innings....

Everywhere One Looks, It's Beltran
Yesterday, we talked about the 2004 National League Championship Series between the Cardinals and Astros, and how it was the best series we had ever seen. We, stupidly, did not mention the words "Carlos Beltran," which was odd, considering the guy showed up in our nightmares for months afterwards. (...

All Right, Weaver, Put Down The Smokes And Let's Go
The weather reports appear to be clear as one could reasonably hope for this evening, so it looks like the Cardinals and Mets are finally going to kick off their NLCS, with Jeff Weaver taking on a now very rested Tom Glavine. Because of the rainout, the series is going with five games in five days, ...

What They Did On Their Day Off
Though the woman in this photo apparently didn't get the memo, anyone in the New York City area yesterday, when not preoccupied with planes coming out of the sky and Alec Baldwin all full of bustle, knew there wasn't going to be a NLCS game last night. It was pouring rain and was just getting wors...

Steinbrenner's Agonizing "Decision"
We have trouble with the concept of "soul-searching" when it comes to George Steinbrenner — he seems to have a key ingredient missing — but evidently the Yankee owner did some heavy thinking over the past two days. According to the New York Post, Steinbrenner has apparently decided not to fire ma...

Obviously, Joe Torre Was The Problem All Along
And so there is much wailing and gnashing of teeth in Yankee Land, as you probably expected. Word on the street is that manager Joe Torre is as good as out, and that Lou Piniella — yow — is in. Seems rather rash to us, but what do we know? Only what we read in the papers ... and in various Yankees...
