[ED. Note – received an e-mail from a worthy cause the other day, and felt compelled to pass the information along. Graciously, Emma wrote up a nice little guest post introducing the worthwhile event and outlining how you can visit with the Cards this off-season for only one dollar. Enjoy.] Want to help fight cancer […]

Folks seemed to appreciate having the Letterman and Leno clips here yesterday, I figured I’d put up the video of David Freese making the rounds, this time appearing with Ellen DeGeneres. Turns out, his visit there was part of a larger story that’s been going on between Ellen and some local Cardinals fans. (I’m admittedly […]
