Whew. One week after sweeping the Dodgers and nearly sweeping Philadelphia, the Cardinals nearly found themselves victim of the same trend, pulling out a late-night victory against the Cubs. This spared the Cardinals of the ignominy of losing to the cubs, and me losing a bet, forcing me to streak around my friend’s apartment complex […]
I think it’s safe to say that for the finale of the series with the Phillies, the Cardinals went out with a whimper. The Cardinals managed one hit and two walks in 11 innings yesterday while losing 2-0 to the Phillies. Tip your cap to Cole Hamels; he simply was on. Adam Wainwright was effective […]
By all accounts, I’m a pretty awesome guy. A charming, handsome fellow whose polymath skills are matched only by my modesty. On occasion, however, there comes along another person whose accomplishments humble even Stephen the Great. Those who watched the ESPY Awards on ESPN last week obviously saw all the big-name hotshots that won the […]
Finally! Much like a girl who teases and frustrates a man to the point of no return, the 2010 Cardinals have flirted with sweeps throughout the season, only to come up empty. Not this time, though. Playing the first series after the All-Star Break, the Cardinals finally managed a sweep, a four-game series, no less. […]
“Wow.” “Incredible.” Thanks to Inception, the latest Christopher Nolan film, these are no longer words I only use when I look down in the shower. Chris (I feel like we’re on a first-name basis based on the zero times I’ve met him) is best known for helming the reboot of the Batman franchise, but this […]
With the All-Star game tonight marking the slightly-over-halfway point of the season, it’s a good time to look over how the Cardinals have done thus far. At 47-41, it’s safe to say thus far the results have been a little underwhelming. Like me with my women, the Cardinals started off strong before they faltered and […]
It’s rare nowadays to find a movie sequel or third installment that lives up to the billing of the original. Certainly, there are exceptions. Terminator 2, Aliens, The Empire Strikes Back, Casablanca 2…ok, one of those things doesn’t belong. The original Predator, released in 1987, became a staple of the sci-fi/action genre, but the sequel […]
Happy fourth of July, everyone! As I sit in my condo overlooking the lovely beach on Fort Walton, Florida, I really wish I’d put on sunscreen yesterday. Although I am Asian, apparently I can sunburn. Anyway, I’m aware that the majority of my posts revolves around the Cardinals, but as you may vaguely be aware, […]
So, I asked my wife, “Where do you want to go for our anniversary?” Her face lit up in appreciation. She smiled and said, “Somewhere I haven’t been in a long time!” So I suggested, “How about the kitchen?” Misogynistic? Certainly. Entertaining? Well, that’s up to the observer. So, too, goes Eclipse, the third movie […]
Oh, hello there. This is going to be a rather large collective update for all the goings on in the world of sports related to St. Louis. El Birdos Somehow, the Cardinals managed to lose two out of three to the Royals. The Royals. Currently the Cardinals sit a half game out of first place. […]
