Let’s get this right out in the open before we get into it. I love enforcers, toughness on an NHL roster, and lived to see Tony Twist, Cam Janssen, or Ryan Reaves just pummel someone for crossing the line. This is just different. So, in the best case scenario for our health moving forward, please … More Tom Wilson is trash and bad for the NHL
There’s a difference between a child’s game and childish, so allow me to prove it. First, I want you to imagine a scenario for me. Take a big pull of that coffee and think about this. It’s mid-summer and the Cardinals lead the Reds 4-3 in the ninth at Busch Stadium. Nicholas Castellanos walks to … More Nicholas Castellanos deserved a suspension and here’s why
How we doing? It’s Saturday, the sun is shining-at least here in St. Louis, Missouri-and the grass is getting greener by the day. It’s a great time to be alive, twice over after the year we just had. Baseball is days away instead of a week, and hockey is rounding second base itself towards an … More Fox Sports Midwest gets new look and new name, but Sinclair Broadcasting continues to leave sports fans in the cold
I feel like it’s my duty to inform St. Louis Cardinals fans, and baseball lovers in general, that Albert Pujols is arguably the greatest player of all time. Easily the best I’ve ever seen. Offensively and defensively, together with a swing that can rival any right-handed slugger in baseball history, Pujols composed an eleven year … More Why Albert Pujols needs to retire before his greatness becomes invisible
Wait a second. Are you trying to tell me the greatest right-handed hitter of all time, a man who never dabbled in enhancements during his career, may have been older when he dominated? Stop the damn press. You have got to be kidding me. This past week, sometime around I don’t care and half past … More How old is Albert Pujols? With memories that good, I wonder why anyone really cares
Let me ask you a question on this fine and less chillier Sunday evening: Do you think any fan walks up to the stadium and says out loud, “Man, I can’t wait to see the pitcher pick up a baseball bat and try to get a hit.” Do you think any single fan even thinks about … More Bring on the DH: Watching pitchers hit is boring
St. Louis Cardinals fans tend to forget, but Josh Hamilton almost broke their hearts all over again a decade ago. While many revel in David Freese’s bases-clearing triple that tied Game 6 of the 2011 World Series at nine runs apiece between the Cardinals and Texas Rangers, they forget Hamilton quickly erased that thrill less … More What happened to Josh Hamilton?
My head could have sunk into the ping-pong table. I was glued to the screen and each pixel-aided movement occurring on it. The setting: Hatch Hall in Columbia, Missouri. The year: Feb. 3, 2002. My 20th birthday. The game: The St. Louis Rams and New England Patriots. The Super Bowl. There I was, watching and … More Rams-Patriots Super Bowl rematch? No thanks and here’s why
Miami Marlins righthanded phenom Jose Fernandez threw his last pitch on Tuesday, September 20th against the Washington Nationals. He completed eight innings and struck out 12 batters from one of Major League Baseball’s best lineups. The kind of game baseball appreciators would have seen for years from the talented kid who was always smiling. On … More Jose Fernandez: Baseball lost a true stud
Who pissed in the Los Angeles Rams cherrios? I get it. You leave a city and don’t want to keep playing nice with what is now in the past. When the Rams got up and left St. Louis on January 12th, something was cut and dropped that had been stable for 20 years. Saying nice … More LA Rams showing no respect for STL
