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....
Can You Keep A Secret? We're Trying To Organize A Prison Break
Oh Mr. Harris! Don't touch us! Mr. Bob Harris! Just rip our stocking!...
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...
Hopefully He Won't Get Confused And Sing A Car Commercial
Before Game 1 of the 2004 World Series, we were talking to our father, little pregame discussion of how these Red Sox were going down, man, when he stopped. "Holy shit," he said. "The guy from Aerosmith is singing the national anthem. Damn, that makes me feel old." Our father, who missed the Diane W...
Fun With Extinct Clothing
We're sure this happens all the time, but it's still funny when Major League Baseball accidentally slips and posts it. Last night and up until early this morning, you could buy this sweatshirt from MLB.com, prominently featuring the upcoming World Series matchup between the Detroit Tigers and the ...

Four Moments In October
The thing about a Game 7 for your team, we're noticing this morning, is that you forget that you and the people you are with aren't the only people watching it. Every pitch is so intense, every second's pressure so heightened, you lose all perspective: It feels like it's only happening to you. And...
Now That's A Pleasant Way To Spend An Evening
It's 3:30 in the morning, and we have just returned from a night of screaming, biting, man hugs and other general insanity with 20 other Cardinals fans in the enemy territory of Manhattan. We are covered in champagne — seriously — and just about as giddy as a human being can be. The Cardinals are in...
The Fight To Lose To Detroit Ends Tonight
This photo is from the 2004 National League Championship Series, in which Jeff Suppan outdueled Roger Clemens — and laid down a perfect squeeze bunt, for good measure — to send the Cardinals to the World Series, where they went to Boston and ... well, we don't remember much after that....
A Cards Fan And A Mets Fan Discuss Game 7
You've followed your team every day for six, nearly seven months. You've sweated one-run games in May, stayed up until 2 a.m. for the 14-inning marathon in July, cursed rainouts in August and finally felt some release come September and October. This has been your life — not their life; your life — ...
Game 7, The Weirdest-Case Scenario
We thought our brains had processed every possible scenario for Game 7 tonight, up to and including Preston Wilson being attacked by a mule. But New York Magazine's Sam Anderson — an excellent writer, by the way — has come up with one that we hadn't considered, in Choose Your Own Adventure form....
Tommy Morrison's Confusing Confusion
Far be it from us to deny a guy the opportunity to make a living, and we consider ourselves open-minded ... but we had to say, when there's open debate as to whether or not are HIV-positive, we kind of think maybe you shouldn't be boxing....
Five Tiny Tidbits On: The Washington Wizards
It's hard to believe, but the NBA season is just around the corner. So come with us now as we present five tiny tidbits on each team, just to get you in the mood. Today we continue with the Southeast Division, so do us a favor and send your tips to [email protected]....

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...
We'll Take The Blame For This One
You know, one would think we would have learned our lesson about seeing Cardinals games in person here....
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....
See, This Is How It Works ... HUGH!
Former "Major League" "player" Mark Littell has designed himself a new piece of baseball equipment, and hey, we're proud of ya, Mark....
