Your World Series Game Four Open Thread
In his last appearance, St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Edwin Jackson ceded four earned runs (via three dingers), lasting just two innings in the NLCS. Over in the ALCS, Texas Rangers pitcher Derek Holland gave up as many earned runs (also via three dingers) in just over four innings. That really doesn...
Texas Fan Who Threw Wiffleball At Matt Holliday Last Night "Wasn't Really A Douche In College"
The St. Louis Cardinals were up 14-6 in the seventh inning last night when Nelson Cruz hit a fly ball to right center. It was at that point that a Texas Rangers fan threw a wiffleball in an unsuccessful attempt to distract outfielder Matt Holliday. That fan got jeered and ejected, but college frie...

Neftali Feliz's Ninth Inning Last Night Was Freaky And Amazing
The top of the ninth in last night's "World" Series game, which the Rangers won (2-1, evening the series at 1-1), reminded us how easily 67-year-old .199 career hitter Tony La Russa kneecaps his raw talent. In this particular case, La Russa pulled overpowering strikeout-happy closer Jason Motte (8.3...

In the absence of any compelling starts beyond Hamilton and Pujols, the World Series narrative seems to have coalesced into a plebiscite on the managerial merits of Tony La Russa and Ron Washington. You will see lots of iso shots of both in their dugouts, perhaps talking to someone next to them, per...

Someone Apparently Left These Penis- And Vagina-Shaped Cakes In Tony La Russa's Hotel Suite
You didn't think there was actually any merit in La Russa's reliever-overuse strategy, did you? No, these Cards, like other championship Cards, are made of the secret sauce. The grit. The phenomena. In 2006, it was David Eckstein. This year, it's homemade dong- and vagina-shaped cakes....

Baseball Prospectus's Jay Jaffe has an NLCS stat that, if you're at all like me, will send you scurrying to the far reaches of the cable box on Wednesday in search of something that does not involve Tony La Russa. (I'm serious. I like baseball as much as the next guy, but I'm not wasting my precious...

Good Luck Charm? Cardinals Play-By-Play Broadcaster Might Have Wet Himself During His DWI Arrest
Two Sundays ago, Fox Sports Midwest's Dan McLaughlin was arrested for driving drunk after he crashed into a stop sign in Chesterfield, a suburb of St. Louis.
