With the rumors continuing to swirl about Texas A&M’s move to the SEC, even in the face of both sides’ denials, it seems like it’s only a matter of time before the most powerful football conference snatches up at least one Big 12 school. Bringing on a single school would likely mean another coming right [...]

Although it may be in the distant future, last week offered a small surprise for Mizzou basketball fans.  When ESPN unveiled their 2012 schedule for basketball version of Gameday, February 4th became a date that was set aside on many calendars in Columbia.  That is if anyone has a 2012 calendar already. With Mizzou featuring [...]

When reliever Lance Lynn went down with an oblique strain on Tuesday night, it created a void in the Cardinals bullpen.  As in, a personnel void; not to be confused with the omnipresent void of “not having anyone good”. To address this concern, the Cardinals went out to the scrap heap and grappled 41-year old [...]

For the casual fan, the annual sports season tends to unfold like a relay race.  Right when one sport is coming to an end, the baton is handed to the next one to follow. The Cardinals used this week to continue to fall further behind the Brewers but actually seemed to time it perfectly as [...]

We’ve been over this before: Mike Laga is a legend. In addition to having one of the most prolific baseball cards in Cardinals history, he hit a ball out of Busch Stadium.   Out of Busch Stadium.  Now, a few weeks ago, we postulated that this notorious event never happened; since footage seems nonexistent and details [...]

They found a collective sense of pride this past weekend, as Marshall Faulk was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame.  Personnel [...]

Yadier Molina lost his damn mind in what served to be the most intriguing Cardinals game of the season on Tuesday night. A few things we know… Every media member in the area has an opinion on what transpired last night, meaning that the local airwaves are filled with even more viewpoints that are way [...]

After a hard fought win for the Cardinals last night in a game that featured extra innings, beanballs, chest bumping with umpires, multiple “bases-loaded no outs” jams that did not yield a run and guys with 19th century mustaches (looking at you, John Axford), there was no doubting that the message boards would be fired [...]

A few weeks ago when the Cardinals were in New York, David Freese kicked his Twitter persona into high gear.  In between posting photos of him and  annoying Times Square celebrities, he sent out the following message… Intriguing. The St. Louis clubhouse is one that is traditionally pretty dry and any personality that exists is [...]

When the Astros minor league affiliate known as the Tri-City Valleycats hosted a group of school kids for a “special Monday morning Camp Day game“, manager and former Cardinal Stubby Clapp decided it was the perfect day for him to preach to the baseball youth what he specialized in. As the Bible sort of told [...]
