Yep, it felt good just to walk up to the stadium knowing that real baseball would be played inside it after the long, cruel winter. It also felt good knowing that there were plent of bathrooms inside said stadium since I’d been practically chugging water since leaving home that morning. With Lou Brock, Bob Gibson, […]

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.

It cannot be that difficult to write stories for some web sports outlets. After the journalistic fodder that rolled off the “presses” yesterday with Morosi’s face at the top, I’m utterly convinced that you simply need an advanced Mad Lib pad specifically designed for baseball to be a scribe with troll-like status.

BENCHES CLEAR AND NATIONALS CALL FOR REINFORCEMENTS Oh, the horror of it all… Naturally, the benches cleared during a spring training game between the Cardinals and the Nationals, and the game wasn’t televised. Fortunately, an observant fan with a Kodak Disc camera and developing equipment in his basement managed to capture a shot of the Nationals […]

Okay, so I’ve given you plenty of ideas on how to keep busy until spring training without getting arrested (no, it didn’t cover all the way until the regular season). I’ve also provided some etiquette reminders just so everybody remembers how to behave themselves when baseball gets back into a park near you. Finally, I provided […]
