“He won’t age well as a pitcher.” That was the main takeaway from every Lance Lynn critic. As he gets older, his effectiveness on the mound would die away like a Thanos finger-snap in slow motion. Narrator: They were wrong. Lynn aged like a secluded but still beloved can of 4 Hands Pilsner, pumping out … More The Cardinals made a mistake in passing on Lance Lynn
The only thing more heartbreaking than losing Game 2 to the Colorado Kroenke’s Avalanche was seeing a less-than-whole Vladimir Tarasenko exist as a non-factor in a playoff game. Not-so-fun fact: Wednesday night represented the first postseason game where Tarasenko didn’t record a single shot on goal since April 20, 2015. It’s been that long since … More Is Vladimir Tarasenko finished, or just temporarily a shell of his former self?
The moment has finally arrived. Klim Kostin, the wrecking ball also known as a young Russian hockey player, is with the St. Louis Blues and could skate tomorrow. Nothing has been confirmed by Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic or Lou Korac of NHL.com but suffice to say, if Kostin is with the team, there’s a … More Why Klim Kostin is the tough guy (with skill) that the Blues need for the playoff run
When you’re hanging with the old man, the need to impose your way grows–or so I think.

Imagine something for me, it’ll just take a few minutes. 2022. Busch Stadium, St. Louis. Clark and Spruce are jam-packed. It’s a few minutes before five and first pitch is just about two hours away. Jose Alberto Pujols won’t take the field, but he will have a shot at home run #700. Could he do … More Albert Pujols hitting #700 at Busch: An imaginary play-by-play
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
What if I told you that one could suck at their job and continue to keep it? They could do just about anything to make matters worse for the business, yet can’t find themselves out of a job. Enter Zach Sanford, a forward for the St. Louis Blues. But don’t mistake forward for anything positive. … More 5 reasons (or excuses) why Zach Sanford is still starting for the Blues
In a brief clip from ACADEMY AWARD-WINNER Chloe Zhao’s upcoming “Eternals,” Gemma Chan’s Sersi says, “we are the ones who changed everything,” Indeed, you did. 23 films and counting into a gambit that started with a gamble being taken on a troublesome actor named Robert Downey Jr., Kevin Feige and Marvel have reformatted how a … More ‘We are the ones who changed everything.” Yes, Marvel, you did
Sports and reacting emotionally go hand in hand like heat making water in a pot boil. Something happens and the reactions come in. Baseball claims a lot of these minor disturbances. After hitting two batters with two pitches on Wednesday night in a game between the Philadelphia Phillies and St. Louis Cardinals, Genesis Cabrera will … More Blame Rob Manfred and timid umpires, not Genesis Cabrera, for Wednesday’s debacle
When did we feel the need to start taking a shit on other people’s opinions? Don’t look scared. We’ve all done it, quietly from afar or painfully in-person.
