On November 16th, a local media head known as JC Corcoran predicted that Albert Pujols would announce a long-term contract extension with the St. Louis Cardinals by the end of that week. When it didn’t happen, Corcoran concluded that the exposure of the “news” to his massive audience must have swayed Cardinals GM John Mozeliak [...]

Maybe it’s because the 2011 MLB playoffs were a proverbial roller-coaster.  Maybe it’s because the World Series hero, David Freese, is a native St. Louisan.  Maybe it’s because celebrating the past is easier than worrying about Albert Pujols and the future.  Or maybe it’s because the Rams and the Blues stink.

First it was his appearance on The Tonight Show sitting next to Justin Bieber. Then he appeared on the Ellen Degeneres Show. He showed up at the Country Music Awards next to Erin Andrews, made an appearance on an ABC sitcom, was honored at the Mizzou-Texas football game, had his Game 6 uniform sent to [...]

Miraculously, the Rams were able to drop their NFL-lowest point per game average from 12.6 to 12.0 yesterday.  That’s impressive, even by their standards.  With the Blues puttering along between spots eight and ten in the Western Conference standings, we of course, turn our attention back to baseball.

Now don’t get me wrong, it’s not funny for the reasons it’s supposed to be [...]

But sports are hardly their expertise. After Tony La Russa announced his retirement [...]

Sooner or later, the St. Louis sports media will understand that you can’t throw any ‘ole media pundit in front of a keyboard and expect him to succeed.  As it turns out, this little blogging thing and engaging in the thing kids call “social media” can be tough, especially for some of the brutes that [...]

It’s Monday morning.  Your brain is undoubtedly clogged with malted hops and your stomach is barking because you ate enough buffalo sauce to kill a horse this weekend.  But, it’s go-time at the office.  Time to be smart, time to be charming, time to dominate break room conversations with your witty sports analysis.

Well, that changes today.  Tomorrow, the Florida Marlins [...]
