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...

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...
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 ...

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....
All Your NFL Stadiums Are Belong To Us
Apparently, unlike some people, the Associated Press has no problem with what "underground" Web sites report. According to AP — in a Wednesday post on ESPN — an Internet site claimed that seven NFL stadiums will be hit with dirty bombs this weekend....

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....

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...
