One Communally Pleasant Night At Shea
We're a fatalist, to be sure, but you could kind of tell matters weren't going to go the Cardinals' way last night when the Cardinals had the bases loaded in the first inning and didn't score. The way the series was turning, if Scott Rolen would have gapped one to clear the bases, the Mets might nev...

And So, Game Six Is Here
Well, here we are. After a maddening season that involved Sidney Ponson and Larry Bigbie, crazed monsoons, three games against the White Sox that made our souls die and, of course, that final two weeks, our beloved St. Louis Cardinals are one game away from a most improbable World Series....

Our Favorite Stoned Burnout
The first game we ever saw at the new Busch Stadium was also the first game Jeff Weaver pitched as a Cardinal ... and it was rather unpleasant for the both of us. (Our experience would, in fact, get worse.) We couldn't imagine Weaver lasting longer than a couple of weeks; the best compliments we cou...

NLCS Game 5: Is Watching This Supposed To Be A "Leisure" Activity?
According to our deep, inside, exclusive-to-us-only sources, the weather in St. Louis today is miserable ... but more in a "are we really supposed to sit out here through 30 La Russa/Randolph pitching changes?" way rather than a "it's getting rained out?" way.

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...

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....
