Out of the Park Baseball 11 picks a winner (and so does PH8) As you may or may not know, the kind folks at OOTP Developments provided us with a copy of their game to give away to a lucky reader. That reader was Justyn (or @cyyoung29 on Twitter), and he has hopefully by now […]

Sounds like a pretty cool name for a band, right? Actually, with his appearance catching in the late innings of Sunday night’s game, Nick Stavinoha joined a short list of Cardinal players that have made a one-game cameo playing catcher (when catcher is not their natural position).

Yeah, the Reveille comes after the noon hour today – necessary evil after the hangover from last night’s ninth inning loss.
