There’s nothing quite like opening day at Busch Stadium. This year, the Cardinals have selected former Cardinal great Jim Edmonds to throw out the first pitch. As I’ve already suggested, I believe it would be apropos for Jimmy Ballgame to launch it from either CF or the bullpen just because he’s awesome enough to do […]

That’s right, just keep “Standing for Stan” until directed otherwise. Ignore the protestations of the naysayers, especially the ones named Murray Chass. Mr. Chass has really jumped the shark and crafted a masterpiece worthy of praise, alright. Click here for it. It’s practically a Michelangelo’s David of what is unsaid. It’s the Sistine Chapel of […]

I detest the phrase “perfect game”, and I think it should be removed from the baseball vernacular for good. Why? In it’s current form, it’s used to denote a winning effort that lasts a minimum of nine innings in which no opponent reaches base. Basically, a “perfect game” is a “no-hitter” + “shutout” + “walk free” […]
