Feeley Hurt, Rams Fans Rejoice
Ok, the headline’s a bit apocryphal. I hope, anyway. Playing in what looked to be a monsoon, the Rams gutted out a 19-17 win at Cleveland. It certainly wasn’t the prettiest win, and it was a pre-season game, but hey, any port in a storm. Thoughts on the game: – A.J. Feeley isn’t ready to […]
Restoring Faith in Sports
In sports, the goal is by nature to be competitive, to win, regardless of cost and feelings. See: James, LeBron. If you watch enough sports, you will see these stories countless times. These are the stories that attract negative attention to sports, that convince people of the selfish, narcissistic nature of sports. It’s unfortunate, then, […]
Valiant Bullpen Effort Can’t Prevent Rascals Loss, Snowcone from Melting
I’m not sure whether to be amused or unsettled by the fact that the vendors in the Beer Garden of T.R. Hughes now recognize my friends and I on the spot. After the entertaining double-header and dollar beer last week, it took little convincing for me to get Jackie and Elizabeth to come to the […]
Cardinals Trade Carpenter for Feliz…
…just not the Carpenter you’re thinking of. “WE JUST TRADED CARP” my friend Lauren texted me before realizing the Cardinals did not, in fact, trade Chris Carpenter, but David Carpenter, a relief pitcher for Class A Palm Beach. In exchange for Carpenter, the Astros sent 3B Pedro Feliz and cash. While I was hoping they’d […]
Lohse Laments Rough Outing, Says, “I Could Have Given Up More Runs”
Making his first start since May, Kyle Lohse thinks he could have done more to help the Cardinals lose the game. “Next time, I’m going to do my best to give up ten [runs],” he stated. Noting he was unhappy with his contract situation with the Cardinals, he added, “I’ve got a family to feed.” […]
Rascals Win Doubleheader, My Liver Loses
Whoever thought up Thirsty Thursdays for the Rascals Thursday home games ($1 for a 10oz. beer) is a genius. Whoever thought the Rascals should play a doubleheader on Thursday with free admission, thus clearing up more money for beer…well, that’s just silly. Taking in my second trip to T.R. Hughes Ballpark this summer, I managed […]
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World RoX0rs My Boxers
“Lower your expectations. That way you’re never disappointed and sometimes you’re pleasantly surprised.” Typically, this is the advice I give to my women. But sometimes I manage to apply it to other avenues in life. I wasn’t too sure what to expect of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. I’d never even heard of the comic […]
The 2010 Rams Are Going to the Super Bowl, if They Buy Tickets
Mark it down, you read it here. The St. Louis Rams are going to the Super Bowl. Just…not this year. Maybe a few of them might get tickets. But eventually, they will go to the Super Bowl as a team. Coming off a 1-15 season last year, the Rams have at least one thing going […]
Brandon Phillips Wants to Play Cardinals With One Leg, Can’t Win With Two
Well then. Pretty much every part of the Sea of Red here in St. Louis has heard about the inflammatory comments Brandon Phillips made regarding the Cardinals. If you didn’t read them, here they are, in all their inane glory: “I’d play against these guys on one leg. We have to beat these guys. All […]
