There comes a point in time where words are simply insufficient. There are things in nature you just can’t describe. How do you describe something’s color? With another color. Well, how do you describe that color? And so on. This game started off with the makings of possibly the worst, least climactic World Series clincher […]
With the loss of Adam Wainwright before spring training even got fully underway, most pundits decided to write the St. Louis Cardinals off. It is, after all, pretty tough to win anything when you lose your ace, let alone a 20-game winner who’s placed in the top 3 of the Cy Young voting the last […]
It has to start somewhere. Believe it or not, we owe a few members of the Milwaukee Brewers organization thanks. Thanks, Prince Fielder, for hitting the game-winning home run in the All Star game to give us home field advantage. Thanks, Ron Roenicke, for continuing to pitch to David Freese, even though he was absolutely […]
Time to dispense with the furry little rally squirrel. (The Cardinals were 1-1 when he appeared, anyway.) We need this team to be in full out beast mode tonight. Let’s hope Chris Carpenter has 3-4 more good starts left in his arm this season. If so, tonight could be a game for the ages. These […]
Movies aimed towards a male audience tend to have one or two specific plotlines or point of appeal intended to cater to a specific emotion of the audience. Field of Dreams focused on a father-son relationship. Rocky showed the triumph of the human spirit and the ability of the underdog to overcome incredible odds. Transformers had giant […]
Dear St. Louis Cardinals, Sometimes, there just aren’t words. This season has had more bounces than Brooke Burke on a trampoline. I’ve been perpetually frustrated and elated because of you, often within the same evening. Lance Berkman, I grew to dislike you for ten years. When I heard the Cardinals signed you in the off-season, […]
“It’s hard not to romanticize baseball.” Anyone who’s played baseball and/or has a passion for the game can understand the sentiment voiced by Billy Beane in Moneyball. Other films such as Field of Dreams have done so with tremendous success. Moneyball, on the other hand, doesn’t do so. Based on the novel by Michael Lewis, the […]
101.1 ESPN Radio is reporting that the St. Louis Cardinals have re-signed Lance Berkman to a one-year deal for $12 million. I’ll admit, I was a bit hesitant when I heard last winter the team had signed Berkman, given his struggles in the previous two seasons. Happily, I was wrong, as after a slow start […]
I think in the last year and a half, I’ve seen every different type of chick flick/romantic comedy possible. I’ve seen the typical, run-of-the-mill (Letters to Juliet, Going the Distance), the hilarious (Friends With Benefits, No Strings Attached), and the emotionally involving, somewhat good (Love and Other Drugs, Crazy Stupid Love). At some point, they […]
I love fall. The weather cools, fall softball is in full swing, the baseball pennant race winds down, and every weekend there is an absolute plethora of football. I’m pretty happy the NFL managed to avoid a lockout that would have compromised its regular season, and in the coming weeks I’ll be writing a Rams […]
