Cardinals Fans Of The Game In Baltimore Are Characters From <i>The Wire</i>
The Cardinals got smoked by the Orioles 12-2 last night in Baltimore and during some down time, the Fox Sports Midwest crew starting shouting out some Cardinals fans still in the crowd.

John Lackey Is A Cardinal, And The Red Sox's Rebuild Is Going Great
The Red Sox are apparently on some sort of accelerated turn-of-the-century-Marlins plan, where they win, bottom out, and rebuild, but it only takes them a year to go from peak to trough and back again. After landing Yoenis Cespedes earlier today, Boston has traded starter John Lackey to St. Louis ...

Jonathan Lucroy Saved The Brewers, Who Need Him To Keep It Up
Jonathan Lucroy was never supposed to be a star. He was a third-round draft pick; according to Baseball Reference, which keeps track of such things, he never made any of the major top 100 prospects lists; and entering his age-26 season, he had a career .260/.307/.366 batting line. ...
Michael Sam On Dungy: "Thank God He Wasn't The St. Louis Rams Coach"
Maybe Tony Dungy really should rethink whether he would draft a guy like Michael Sam because, for a player dealing with his first NFL training camp controversy, Sam responded to Dungy's I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin' homophobia pretty perfectly. He was funny, mildly self-deprecating, and even said ...

Replay Review Doesn't Prevent Umpires From Completely Blowing Call
In the seventh inning of last night's game between the Rockies and Cardinals, Matt Carpenter went to first after seemingly being hit by a Franklin Morales pitch.

Cards Manager Mike Matheny Didn't Like Jonathan Lucroy's All-Star Ad
Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy's All-Star ad poked fun at the St. Louis Cardinals, their NL Central rivals, and it was legitimately funny. Today, someone asked St. Louis manager Mike Matheny for his thoughts on the anti-Cardinals spot, and he thought it was hilarious. Nah, just kidding....

The Marty St. Louis Special
This one-timer from Derek Stepan to Martin St. Louis gave the Rangers a brief 3-1 lead in the second period.

O.C.P. Now Stands For 'Opening Crap Pitch'
RoboCop threw out the ceremonial first pitch in Detroit today, and it was only marginally better than his latest movie.
