Why It’s Good to Be a Cardinals Fan

I’m spoiled. And not just because I have a huge house, six-figure income, and a gorgeous ladyfriend who will cook me bacon any time I ask. Because I don’t have any of those things. No, I’m spoiled because I’m a Cardinals fan. And if you’re reading this, chances are you’ve been spoiled as well. You […]

Cards Boast Best Record in NL

Hi there! Sorry I haven’t written in a while. Life’s been a wonderful mix of busy and hectic recently. Thankfully for you who appreciate my inane posts about baseball statistics, I should have some more free time to post on a regular basis. I’m gonna switch the format of this entry up a bit. Rather […]

Movie Review: ‘The Place Beyond the Pines’ Starring Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper

And with that headline, I either caught every lady’s attention to read this article or they stopped reading so they could find showtimes. I’ll admit, I wasn’t too familiar with this film before I was asked to review it, but with two of the biggest names in Hollywood featured in it, I figured it was […]

St. Louis Comic Con Review: A First Timer’s Wizard World Experience

Maybe you know a “geek.” Maybe you know several “geeks.” Ladies and gentlemen who dig stuff like science fiction, fantasy, and most of all, superheroes, comic books, and graphic novels. For these folks, comic book conventions (known colloquially as comic cons) are the culmination of their pop culture beings, where actors and actresses from their […]

St. Louis Cardinals Set Roster – Prepare for Opening Day in Arizona, Busch Stadium April 8

Many people hate Mondays. I’m certainly not their biggest fan. I gotta admit, though, I’m looking forward to this coming Monday. Why, you ask? Well, if you have to ask, you can’t afford it you must not be a huge Cardinals fan. On Monday, April 1, the Cardinals kick off the 2013 season when they […]

Movie Review: ‘Spring Breakers’ Starring Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, James Franco

I wanted to wait a bit after I’d left the theater before I started to write my review for Spring Breakers. I needed some time to digest everything I’d just seen, along with the Wagyu burger I had from Blueberry Hill (sweet mother, that was delicious). Lots of young kids across the nation go on spring […]

St. Louis Baconfest 2013: Steve Interviews Matt Willer and Matt Guillot, Yearns for Bacon

I was but a wee lad of 24 when I first heard of a mythical log of meat comprised entirely of bacon and sausage. The premise? Bacon crumbles wrapped in sausage wrapped in a lattice of bacon. The ramifications of this wonderful gift to humanity were staggering. No longer would people be forced to choose […]

Sim City: A Lesson in Failure (DRM Problems and Bad Reviews)

Note: this is not intended to be a comprehensive technical guide regarding DRM, nor is it a review of Sim City. I didn’t have a home computer in elementary school; they were just too expensive, and my parents feared I’d spend all my time on it. So while my friends were at home surfing the […]

Cardinals Sign Craig to 5-year Deal

Relatively speaking, the Cardinals have had it made at first base for most of the last past 15 years or so. Beginning with some Hulk named Mark McGwire, the team has been somewhat stacked at first. Even in the two years between McGwire’s retirement and Albert Pujols switching to first permanently, the team at least […]

Furcal to Have Tommy John; Where do the Cardinals Go From Here?

In a move that’s come as an absolute surprise to nobody, Cardinals shortstop Rafael Furcal has elected to undergo Tommy John surgery (for the uninitiated, TJ is ligament replacement surgery in the elbow), meaning he will miss the 2013 season. Furcal felt a pop making a throw in a game against the Nationals on August […]
