[Sustained Vomiting Noises]
Cardinals fans will occasionally take a break from telling you how classy they are to announce that some outsider has achieved the rarefied level of class necessarily to be a Cardinal. Congratulations, Derek Jeter. If only you had been drafted by St. Louis, perhaps you would have amounted to somethi...
Tony La Russa Warns Grads About The Machines During Commencement Speech
Tony La Russa gave the commencement speech at Washington University last week. It was, like most commencement speeches, sort of rambly and boring. But there was one La Russian moment that caught our attention, in which the old manager started going on about Styx, the machines, and sabermetrics....
Guy Dressed As Superman Breaks Up Pathetic Fight At Cardinals Game
Two sad, possibly drunk guys just sort of lean on each other in the way that sad, possibly drunk guys tend to do when they start a fight that they don't necessarily want to finish, and the world cries out for a hero to stop this madness.

Cardinals Fan Makes A Mess Out Of Catching Foul Ball
In the seventh inning of yesterday's Cardinals-Cubs game, Mark Ellis hit a foul ball down the right field line and into the stands. Our man, in enemy territory, was in perfect position for a free souvenir. But then that ball kept hurtling at him and soon, it was too late. The ball was on him and he ...
Hey, It's 15 Years (And A Day) Since Fernando Tatis Hit Two Grand Slams In An Inning
On April 23, 1999, Fernando Tatis set an MLB record that's as unlikely as it is pointless, hitting two grand slams in a single inning. It is, I feel confident saying, unlikely to ever be broken....

Matt Adams Shoves Fan After Diving For Foul Ball; Fan Flips The Bird
All told, I think the fan takes the W here. He made a nice catch, absorbed Adams's shove with ease, and then seamlessly transitioned to an emphatic flip of the bird. This is a great GIF, and we offer thanks to everyone involved. ...

New St. Louis Ballpark Village Has A Ridiculous Dress Code
This year, a massive dining and entertainment hub known as the St. Louis Ballpark Village is set to open across the street from Busch Stadium. It is described as "sports anchored entertainment district." It is also the sort of place where the bars have a dress code to keep out what your bigoted grea...
The Cardinals Are Very Embarrassed By Carlos Martinez's Wall Of Porn
Yesterday, we brought you news of Cardinals pitcher Carlos Martinez's big ol' wall of Twitter porn. Somehow, Carlos Martinez's big ol' wall of Twitter porn was perceived by his skipper, Mike Matheny, to be the kind of issue and "distraction" that required a face-to-face meeting between the two. Toda...

Mark McGwire Made You Happy. It's Time To Admit It.

Red Sox Take Out Newspaper Ad Thanking St. Louis
You'll find this full-page ad in today's St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and it seems the Red Sox aren't done trolling everyone. "Your region, its people, and the entire Cardinals organization represent everything that's great about baseball." Damn it. We just spent a month breaking them down, and now Card...

After Waiting 95 Years, The Red Sox Win A World Series In Boston
The Red Sox vanquished America's Sweetheart tonight at Fenway Park, to win their third World Series in the past 10 years. But this was the first World Series Boston iced in Boston since 1918. How long ago was 1918? Here are all the things that have happened since then:...
St. Louis Man Arrested After Threatening Boston On Twitter
Everybody say hi to Bobby Metzinger. St. Louis police arrested him over the weekend and charged him with making terroristic threats against the city of Boston from his Twitter account.

Red Sox Win Totally Ordinary Game 5, Take 3-2 Lead To Boston
We made it seven innings before something funky happened and, as far as funky things in this World Series go, it was pretty tame. David Ross was called out on a questionable-on-closer-inspection call at the plate. But all it meant was the difference between a 4-1 Boston win and 3-1 win. Which is to ...
