Report: Mark Sanchez Would Rather Ride The Bench Than Play In St. Louis

This is neat. Thanks to the tarp shenanigans at Wrigley Field Tuesday night, the Giants-Cubs game was called after a four-hour and 34-minute delay.

John Lackey Traded A Babe Ruth Autographed Ball For His Uniform Number

Bob Costas Threw Two First Pitches Because The First One Was So Bad
Bob Costas threw the ceremonial first pitch(es) in St. Louis tonight and missed badly on his first toss. After fist-exploding with the Cardinals mascot, he cooly jogged to the rubber for his pitch. It's unclear if it was nerves or just the adrenaline pumping, but he airmailed his first throw throu...
Guy Gives Kid A Foul Ball; Kid Throws It Back On Field
The guy in the blue Cardinals hat caught a foul ball right behind the visitors' dugout in St. Louis and kindly gave the ball to a sweet and innocent-looking child next to him. Turns out he was sitting next to Max Demian. He quickly took the ball and fired it back onto the field. Here's what I thin...
Cardinals Fans Of The Game In Baltimore Are Characters From <i>The Wire</i>

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 ...

Cardinals Fan Drops Beer On Fans Below
This Cardinals fan takes us on a very satisfying 10-second journey. Dressed in his road grays and holding a newly purchased and refreshing beer, he saunters back to his lady friend at the railing, rests his hand against the rail, drops his beer instantaneously, does a quick welp gesture, and looks...
