Weekend Sports Recap: Cardinals, Rasmus, Hall of Fame
Well, what a busy weekend. We’ll start with the Cardinals’ fight for first place with Pittsburgh (when’s the last time anyone could write THAT?), and go through some of the trade rumors, and discuss baseball’s Hall of Fame, which inducted three new members over the weekend. * note* I was going to do a football […]
Movie Review: ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’ Starring Chris Evans, Hugo Weaving
In pop culture, there are a few iconic symbols of all good things American. Baseball. Football. Apple pie (even though it originated in England). Bald eagles. Representing all of these symbols rolled into one idea incarnate, Captain America was a hero born in the fires of World War II. As the hero of the eponymous […]
‘Friends With Benefits’ Reviewed by a Friend With No Benefits
Seeing a chick flick is usually comparable to reaching into a mixed bag. On one hand, you have super cheesy, philogynistic Nicholas Sparks-esque films like The Notebook and A Walk to Remember. On the other hand, you have the more (relatively) recent, next-gen films like Love and Other Drugs which tend to throw a bone to the […]
Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, Part Deux
I still remember years ago when the first Harry Potter novel was taking the world by storm. Not being a huge fantasy fan, I basically brushed it aside. Now, a decade later, we are at last reaching the end of the series in terms of films. Were this series analogous to a date, this film […]
St. Louis Cardinals: Birds at the Break
Raise your hand if you predicted the Cardinals would be in a tie for first at the All Star Break. Liar. Most people certainly didn’t. I didn’t. Call them what you want, this team is certainly exciting and fun to watch. The Cardinals finish the first 92 games with a record of 49-43. Six over […]
Review: ‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’ Starring Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Growing up, I learned a few lessons very quickly. Happiness is dependent upon realistic expectations. Respect is earned, not given. Don’t pee in the corner when others are looking. Some of these lessons stuck more quickly than the others. When the first Transformers film (well, live-action, not animated) came out a few years ago, I […]
Lohse Falls 1 inning, 7 Hits, 3 Runs, 2 HR Shy of Perfect Game
Every time he steps on the mound, Kyle Lohse strives for perfection. He came up just short on Wednesday night, missing throwing a perfect game by only one inning, seven hits, two home runs, and three earned runs. Lohse has, for the most part, had an excellent season bouncing back from surgery. Perhaps best-known this […]
Pujols Out 4-6 Weeks; Critics Claim He Was Already Out First 2 Months (Video)
The injury bug has claimed yet another victim on the Cardinals roster, as it was announced today that Albert Pujols would miss approximately 4-6 weeks with a nondisplaced fracture in his left wrist. His critics have downplayed the significance of this, claiming he didn’t show up for the first two months to begin with. Watch […]
St. Louis Cardinals Add a Wong to Cox, Pujols Mix (Baseball News)
Addressing the Cardinals organization’s glaring need for a quality middle infielder, the team selected the 22nd overall pick Kolten Wong, a second baseman from the University of Hawaii. Should Wong and last year’s top pick Zack Cox join Albert Pujols in the infield someday, the Cardinals will be set with a Wong, Cox, and Pujols […]
St. Louis Cardinals Baseball – The First Third of the Season
Wow, has it really been that long since I’ve posted on here? Eesh. Seems like the season just started a while ago. I do apologize for the neglect of my writing. I haven’t really had a lot of free time with my first season coaching an Atom 2 baseball team (two ties count as a […]
