Just In Case Game 4 Happens, We Should Probably Show Up
Yes. We are risking much wrath from Cardinals fans for actually attending this game; our record is far from impressive. But we are talking about the World Series here, and when you get a chance to go to the World Series, you go. We'll apologize in the morning....

Like A Bat Out Of Hell, We'll Be GONE When The Morning Comes!
Because we are a badass road cannon of destruction, we are zooming through the Midwest this week in a silver Chevy Cobalt. (We went to a motocross event in Taylorville, Ill., over the weekend and showed up in this car; this in no way caused us to be mocked, nope.) It's looking incredibly unlikely ...

FreeDarko Previews The NBA Season
As established, we're dangerously close to the start of the NBA season, with all its drama storylines and sturm und drang and months of madness. To us, part of the beauty of the NBA is that its focus, while ultimately on the team, falls on the individual. The plight of one player becomes an epic tal...

Ugly, Cold And Wet: The Beauty Of Game 3
Last night's Cardinals 5-0 victory over the Tigers to take a 2-1 lead in the World Series was, we will confess, not exactly the type of game you'll remember 10 years from now. It was basically Chris Carpenter being completely filthy and a bunch of Tigers players being hit in the testicles and fall...

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
We'd like to thank Joe Sports Fan for this photo of a true Cardinals superfan; this is exactly what we're wearing to the game tomorrow....

Well, That Didn't Take Long At All
Not that you couldn't see this coming, but we'll confess, it's somewhat sooner than we necessarily expected....

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 ...

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.

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...
