It's Nice To Have Chris Carpenter
Sometimes we forget that sometimes, all you need, is a dominant No. 1 starter — even one who claims his favorite band is the Dave Matthews Band — and an opposing pitcher with bloodshot eyes who throws 100 mile-per-hour fastballs five feet to the left of an already-running third baseman....
Time For Game 3 At Busch

The Cardinals Always Bring Much Rock
We're not heading to St. Louis until tomorrow, and that's probably for the best: Sometimes, it's kind of difficult to be a Cardinals fan....

Stepping Away From Rogers, And Toward Leyland
All right, we're gonna make a vow: We're pretty tired of this whole Kenny Rogers business, and we're not gonna talk about it anymore. We know controversy is fun, and we know Rogers probably had pine tar on his hand, and we know Tony LaRussa probably should have had him thrown out of the game. But ...
On The Scene For Game 2
Jalopnik editor Ray Wert has been in Detroit all week and was at Game 2 last night. Here's his report....

Does This Mean The Curse Is Back On?
It's our sad duty to report that Nelson de la Rosa, who was known as the world's smallest actor and who was a friend of pitcher Pedro Martinez, has died at the age of 38, of unknown causes. De la rosa had just arrived in the U.S. from Chile to visit relatives. The 2-foot-4 de la Rosa had become kn...

Checking in with the blogs following Detroit's 3-1 win over St. Louis in Game Two of the World Series ......
On Kenny Rogers' Hands, Fist Pumps And Endless Zeroes
It has been a while since we've had any real controversy in the World Series — frankly, it has been a while since we had a competitive World Series, though it looks like we've headed for one right now — so we are suspicious of the rampant hooting and/or hollering this morning about what pretty pla...
So I Guess The Cardinals Are Serious About This
The Cardinals went into Detroit last night and took down Cousin Mose in his own barn, taking game one away from Justin Verlander and the heavily-favored Tigers....
World. Freakin'. Series.
I don't know if you heard, but the Cardinals won the National League Championship Series. They'll be the guys heading to Detroit tonight to finally get the Tigers off of their lazy asses to play a little baseball. The 2006 World Series gets underway at 7:30 on Fox, and with any luck, Tim McCarver...
I Don't Think This Is What Lil' Jon Had In Mind
Illinois, despite holding a second half lead, couldn't hold on to beat Penn State today, but if you're an Illini fan, take heart. At least it wasn't your fans in that video....
Corey Sanders Does Not Fight Any Better Than He Looks
I tried to look around for a more colorful recap of last night's Mike Tyson "fight," but honestly, there was enough in the Associated Press article to amuse me. Fans who were lucky enough to be in attendance for the first stop on "Mike Tyson's World Tour" were treated to twelve golden minutes of M...
World Series Pants Party: Tigers Vs. Cardinals
Holy cow, we can't believe we're actually doing a prediction roundup for the Cardinals, who are in the World Series, against the Tigers. We're not over shock yet; it actually comes in waves, which is kind of what shock does, we suppose....

Mike Tyson Would Like To Help You Carry Those Groceries To Your Car
Meet the new Mike Tyson. He's relaxed, he's sweet; he's whistling a happy tune. Frankly, we'd be less surprised if Kim Jong Ill suddenly began a tour of the U.S. singing old Bobby Sherman hits, but there you have it. There's a bluebird on his shoulder. Are we as a nation ready for this? Tyson appe...
Revenge Of The Nerds
Our first thought when we heard of the NFL "terror threat" on Thursday? Al Qaeda is slipping; Osama is just phoning it in at this point. As Sportsocracy pointed out (in a post we mentioned on Thursday), three of the seven prospective terror targets were hosting afternoon games. What, the terrorist...
