…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 […]
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.” […]
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 […]
“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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
In an ongoing story that has more ups and downs than Oprah Winfrey’s scale, Brett Favre has told the Minnesota Vikings that he did in fact see his shadow this morning and will be retiring for at least six weeks. Favre was later seen looking at the ground again, as if he were re-considering his […]
Finally, another sweet. Granted, this time it was against the Pittsburgh Pirates. But, any port in a storm. What went right this weekend for the Cardinals? Offense The offense finally got going this weekend, Friday night notwithstanding (although they did manage nine hits). Albert Pujols went 5 for 13 with two home runs and three […]
There are times that you just know you’re brought to a dinner to be the focal point of attention. A roast. An awards ceremony. As the stripper in a cake. But enough about my 12th birthday. What if you were brought to a dinner as the entertainment without realizing it? Based on the French film […]
In my quest to become the best sportswriter in the history of ReviewSTL.com, narrowly beating out the empty chair that held the title before me, I told the bosses I would write about whatever they needed me to. When they told me they could get me a media pass to check out the River City […]
