Maybe manager, pitching coach and All Star first baseman didn't exactly align with your Monster.com résumé. No worries. May we suggest something a tier down on the professional baseball hierarchy.

We know the Mizzou-Kansas game slated for this coming Saturday is a big one.  Potentially the last game between the two rivals in Columbia, both teams are ranked in the Top 10, Mizzou fans can make fun of Bill Self’s hair piece for the final time, all the standard stuff. And when a game of [...]

Say you work in production for a local news station in St. Louis and get assigned a generic time-filling story about ticket scalpers at the Super Bowl next Sunday. Since the same story has appeared on nearly every news outlet before every Super Bowl, it pretty much writes itself, but you will need some B-roll [...]

Most sports fans are familiar with the infamous “Madden Curse" or the “Sports Illustrated Jinx”. The past two years, we've been keeping out eye on the local hex of "Alive Magazine". This is serious stuff and shouldn't be taken lightly.

The first official baseball card of Albert Pujols wearing his Los Angeles Angels uniform has been leaked to the Internets.  Well, we should clarify that.  He’s not wearing *his* uniform, unless of course the Angels staged a game (against Kansas City) and had Pujols catch a few balls at first base.

On Sunday morning, new Cardinals outfielder Carlos Beltran appeared at the annual Winter Warm-up to sign autographs for his new St. Louis fan base.  He was also prepared to address the question on everyone’s mind: namely, what jersey number he would be selecting. While Cardinal fans and media pondered options, it appeared that Beltran himself [...]

The annual Winter Warm-up provides fans and media a chance to reconnect with the organization after a few cold months of hibernation.  Okay, fine.  That’s the best euphemism we could construct for, “This puppy is a cash cow.”  For a $40 entrance fee, fans definitely get their money’s worth.  Given the number of events planned [...]

The exits of Tony La Russa and Albert Pujols from daily endeavors in the Cardinals clubhouse has its advantages.  One of those advantages is a looser environment that allows affable team members to shine in the public eye. It’s been awhile since the Cardinals had a strong cast of young, entertaining and performant players on [...]
