Our Favorite Stoned Burnout
The first game we ever saw at the new Busch Stadium was also the first game Jeff Weaver pitched as a Cardinal ... and it was rather unpleasant for the both of us.

NLCS Game 5: Is Watching This Supposed To Be A "Leisure" Activity?
According to our deep, inside, exclusive-to-us-only sources, the weather in St. Louis today is miserable ... but more in a "are we really supposed to sit out here through 30 La Russa/Randolph pitching changes?" way rather than a "it's getting rained out?" way.

Whatever It Takes, Tiger Fans. Whatever It Takes
It's World Series week in Detroit, and you know what that means: Fans doing anything they can in a mad, desperate dash for tickets. (If the Cardinals somehow sneak in, you know we're whoring ourselves out. Though we're still not going anywhere near a press box.) Our first entry is an eBay auction of...

Look, It's That Guy Who Invented The Wave! Let's Get Him!
So The Wave turned 25 years old on Sunday, and get this: Someone is actually taking credit for it.
