On the whole, we're not big fans of any of the following three things:...
Tommy Morrison's Confusing Confusion

If Only He Had A Digital Pint
We've made fun of those video game motion capture things before, seeing as they're mostly photo ops for athletes like J.J. Redick (!!!) to pretend their movements are somehow scientific.

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.

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....
