These Fans At Last Night's Cardinals-Rockies Game Might Still Be Chasing This Foul Ball
This is what happens to a foul ball that gets hit into the stands at Coors Field in the late innings when no one's there to grab it. That announced crowd of 29,547 really hung around till the end to see if the Rockies could battle back after falling behind in the seventh. As a result, the ball ......

Why Your Team Sucks 2012: St. Louis Rams
Some people are fans of the St. Louis Rams. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the St. Louis Rams. This 2012 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read the other Why Your Team Sucks 2012 previews here....
Skip Schumaker Got Fisted By A Teammate After The Cardinals' Walk-Off Win
The Cardinals were, understandably, very excited about with their 3-2 walk-off win over the Dodgers tonight. Unfortunately, Skip Schumaker, who had no part to play in the outcome other than striking out in the bottom of the 12th, was on the receiving end of a pumped-up Kyle Lohse, who pitched seve...
Lance Berkman Just Committed One Of The Funniest Errors In His Career
Lance Berkman is still in the majors at age 36, and as a member of the National League Cardinals, gets to entertain us in the field on a daily basis.

Gregg Williams Is Still A Hometown Hero As Far As Applebee's Is Concerned
Former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has been mostly out of the public eye since he became the poster boy for the NFL's bounty problem.

Carlos Beltran Shares The Love, Gum
Late last night, a reader pointed us to a Carlos Beltran tweet, the latest in a series of strange tweets from the resurgent Cardinals outfielder. And it was pretty odd: "I hope you have enjoyed chewing gum today." A nice sentiment, to be sure. We at Deadspin certainly hope you have enjoyed chewing g...
How To Build A 21st-Century Bullpen With Failed Hitting Prospects And A Radar Gun
Earlier this month, Sean Doolittle made his major-league debut for the Oakland Athletics. It wasn't an obviously momentous event: The left-hander took the mound with two outs in the top of the fifth, with the A's trailing Texas 5-0. He struck out Nelson Cruz to end the inning, then pitched a perfect...
Santana No-Hitter Gets Asterisk In St. Louis
I've never read the St. Louis Post-Dispatch before in my life, but I have to say, this cover page right here, correctly noting that Johan Santana was aided by a blown call at third base, is about as unbiased as it gets. Anyone crying "homerism" just doesn't get it....
The Struggling Padres' Turnaround Plan? Reunite The 2006 Cardinals Rotation
The 2006 St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series despite bad starting pitching. They had Chris Carpenter and a brigade of abysmal complements: Jeff Weaver, Anthony Reyes, and Jeff Suppan. During the regular season, washed-up Mark Mulder, Sidney Ponson, and Jason Marquis also started. Yeah. It was g...
Carlos Beltrán Does Not Want You Asking Trivia Questions About Him
Cardinals outfield Carlos Beltrán may rank sixth in extra-base hits among active players, but he clearly thinks he's #1 at something—as his use of nonverbals at today's Braves-Cardinals game displayed. (Enjoy the SportSouth crew fumbling to cover for the extended middle finger.)...

Witness The Last Gasp Of Local News Reporting As It Repeatedly Hits On St. Louis Cardinal David Freese
Here is World Series MVP David Freese being subjected to quite possibly the most uncomfortably awkward fluff piece ever. Six Flags has a Mr. Freeze roller coaster and Show Me St. Louis' Julie Tristan decided it would be the perfect excuse to continually hit on the young Cardinal. She even brought i...
The Cardinals Put The Rally Squirrel On Their World Series Rings
If being from St. Louis weren't already embarrassing, here's the rally squirrel, immortalized in gaudy jewels and precious metal. The rings, as noted in these consecutively written sentences were presented to the Cardinals yesterday and are meant to encapsulate the entire season....
The NHL Had A Good Day Yesterday
The Stanley Cup Playoffs, like the NBA playoffs, drag on for what feels like an eternity-spanning April, May and June. If every day shakes out the way yesterday did, however, then it might be worth it. Four games were played and three went to overtime. Four series had the chance to go 2-0 and all f...
ESPN Cameras Caught Rafael Furcal With His Pants Down
With an on-premises pool and the overall clothing-optional vibe of Miami, the new Marlins ballpark is ripe for sighting people without their pants on. We just figured the first person to be spotted sin pantalones would be a spectator, not a player. But ESPN did us right by grabbing this shot of t...
Meet Minor League Guy On Third, The Most Fascinating Cardinals Prospect Since Albert Pujols
My girlfriend is passionate about keeping a scorecard at the ballpark, but she doesn't bother with it when we go to Grapefruit League spring training games. There's so many roster changes and substitutions in the late innings, she says, and keeping up takes the fun out of enjoying beer & sunshine....

Octavio Dotel Could Have Rejoined The Defending Champions, Or Signed With An MLB-Record 13th Team. Guess Which He Chose.
Octavio Dotel is on his 13th different MLB team, and he's not even a crafty lefty. It's a record of longevity and effectiveness, if not irreplaceability, but it's a record nonetheless. Dotel is very aware of his own milestone, and has been for some time—putting it highest on his list of personal goa...
If You Weren't Hanging Out With Joe Buck And Dave Coulier Last Night, You're Nobody
So Joe Buck, Dave Coulier, Darren Pang, and radio guy Kelly Chase got together for last night's Blues game. And you still think the Illuminati aren't real? Wake up, sheeple. [Twitter]...
