Leave it to the Cubs organization to do something to put the Cardinals’ problems into perspective. Peoria pitcher Julio Castillo was arrested following a brawl in Peoria’s game Thursday night with Dayton after he fired a ball toward the Dayton dugout. Said ball skipped off of the dugout and injured a fan, who had to […]

I don’t know for sure, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see that sign hanging outside of Busch Stadium today.

So apparently I picked a bad year to completely ignore the All-Star festivities. Josh Hamilton belted 28 home runs in his first round of the Home Run Derby Monday night. Last night was more drama, as the American League beat the Nationals (yet again) 4-3, in what some are already calling the “greatest All-Star game […]

I knew I had heard this during the broadcast on MLB.tv this weekend, but didn’t have the exact quote. Thanks to DG over at STLToday.com for posting it and reminding me: “It’s stunning,” [Pittsburgh Pirates broadcaster Steve] Blass said about Ankiel, the pitcher-turned-slugger. “No one can appreciate what he has done, how he’s come and […]
