When I talk about “making it right” of course, I’m talking about making it “Wainwright”. I’m talking about the 20-game winner with the 2.42 ERA in 2010 and one of the top 5 pitchers in the NL. He’s 6’7″ and 230 pounds of “aw heck”, and he darn well better be the guy standing on […]

I’m sorry. I know you’re ready to move on, and so am I. But first, I wanted to address Dennis’ post from Friday – The Fall Guy. I started to gather my thoughts for a well-written response as a comment to that post, but it quickly became clear it was going to be too long-winded […]

Relax. It’s just a saying. Yes, I’m referring to Tony LaRussa, but I’m not actually saying that he’s Beelzebub himself. If he were the Prince of Darkness, he’d probably be a bit taller, or he’d be named “Selig”. Anyway, the title is simply a reference to the fact that I’m using this space to give […]

If you haven’t read Tim McKernan’s article with Kyle Lohse on InsideSTL.com, then I suggest you click here for the goods. I’d include some quotes, but it’s really worth a read, especially the part where Lohse claims to like Brendan right before he throws him under the team bus with a shot across the professionalism bow. […]

You’ve probably heard that the New York Yankees are a team scorned, and they are in search of a top shelf starting pitcher. The Cardinals just happen to have a couple of those, and one just happens to be nearing the end of his contract. He’s ‘s already spent 6 seasons pitching in the AL, […]

Before any of you get any bright ideas, I’m most definitely NOT talking about Meg Whitman’s housekeeper. Instead, I’m actually referring to the cheap labor that most major league teams rely on to round out their rosters after they throw millions of dollars at superstars, stars, and established veterans. The current system works to keep […]

Don’t let the title run you off just yet, I promise I’m going to make sense of it. I’m going to piggy-back a bit on what Dennis wrote this morning, because either we were reading the same things yesterday or great minds just think alike. Now, I know I’ve been a bit scarce in this […]

Conspiracy theories aren’t my thing. I’ve been to the famous grassy knoll at Dealey Plaza in Dallas, and I’m confident that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone shooter. It’s not that I did some complicated and expensive re-creation using a computer simulation or watched a really detailed re-enactment of the event. It’s just that I’ve […]

In just about anything you do, it often pays to at least be thinking one step ahead of everybody else. That doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to be prescient to the point that you can call the next pitch. Sometimes it is as simple as preparing for a rainy day or anticipating needs before they appear. That’s […]

If you’re Lance Berkman (and you’re probably not), the title is probably quite representative of what you get when you consume any kind of sports news content generated recently regarding “Big Puma” and the St. Louis Cardinals. Left field or right field. Which one should he play? Bernie Miklasz weighed in on the subject in his column, Bernie […]
