2011 Season, Game 5: Tony LaRussa Gets Mad at Reporters, Walks Out

 Posted on April 7, 2011  |  The Editor

When Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa announced that he would return as the St. Louis skipper in 2011, he made the following comment: You start thinking about goals. I came up with some goals, very specific ones. One of my goals is to have the media feel like I’m more loveable. Tony was joking. Like really joking it turned out. 5 days in to the 2011 he’s already pulled the “storm out of the press conference bit”. [Read More]

 Posted on March 16, 2011  |  The Editor

Yesterday Cardinals closer, and recent discoverer of Twitter, Ryan Franklin tweeted out a photo of some country star or something who visited the team’s spring training site. The tweet, since removed, said “Got a rookie on the team @davidnail” with a link to this photo: We didn’t even notice the awesomeness that this picture held in it’s background, but the guys at Joe Sports Fan.com did and it may have brought the wrath of the Cardinals and Albert Pujols, big bad #5, down on them.

Mitchell Page Died

 Posted on March 14, 2011  |  The Editor

Former Cardinals hitting coach Mitchell Page died in his sleep at age 59, and no other details are available at this time. Though it is worth pointing out, since no one else seems to, that Page was relieved from his position as hitting coach after the 2004 season because of a drinking problem and was said to have been pushed checked himself in to a rehab facility shortly after. It’s not known of his alcohol problem and his recent death are related, but 59 is pretty young to be going in your sleep without “help” from other issues. [Read More]

 Posted on March 8, 2011  |  The Editor

St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson was pulled on stage last night while seeing Jabb Awoc Keez and tweeted a photo of him breaking it down. Take a good look Rams fans! This may be the most action you see out of any of the Rams as they could go from poppin’ and lockin’ to just locked out in a few days. Good moves though. We bet that’s exactly what it would look like if a marionette was pooping on stage. [Read More]

Wednesday morning the world learned of Cardinal ace right-hander, Adam Wainwright‘s “significant” elbow injury. The Cardinals are f*cked. [Cardinals and general manager John] Mozeliak conceded that “things do not look encouraging” and called Wainwright’s condition “a significant injury.” Manager Tony La Russa called it “a huge hit.” “It’s really difficult for Adam, really difficult, to go through this,” La Russa said. “He’s really an outstanding person and pro.

 Posted on February 23, 2011  |  The Editor

KSDK felt it necessary to post up a story about the new Cardinals reserve middle infielder Nick Punto having a groin injury, needing surgery and not being able to play until May, but they just didn’t want to elaborate much. Well there it is isn’t it? I just pretty much did the same thing they did…but better! Their story was all of 40 words long and our summary above came in at 22! [Read More]

Same guy. “I don’t hide from it, but it was not my proudest moment in the game of baseball,” Wellman said after he arrived in spring training in Jupiter, Fla. [Read More]
