Don’t Worry About Pujols Becoming a Cub
By all accounts, Cardinals mega-star Albert Pujols is a really nice guy. So nice in fact that the fact he said anything bad about the Cubs’ stadium basically is the equivalent of us telling them that although old and quaint, their stadium is pretty overrated for a brick circle that makes me think more of a bull fighting right where the Cubs keep charging for that championship and whiffing each time than a baseball park.

Aaron Miles Isn’t Good at Baseball
We took a moment in our busy schedule to take in a ball game last night and were reminded that though St. Louis may be considered baseball’s “best” town, that doesn’t really mean we know the most about baseball.
Imagine our fortune that we landed on the very game that Aaron Miles makes it back to the Cardinals, fresh from double-A Springfield. Pushing down poor Allen Craig who got to smell the sweet air of the Show just long enough to wonder if it was all just a dream.

English brothers Heemal and Sanjeev Vaid, the money men behind both teams, abruptly yanked their backing in recent weeks although contracted to fund the clubs through the 2011 season.

Mardy Gilyard Got Robbed
Newly drafted Rams wide receiver Mardy Gilyard got jacked.
“I am OK. Just upset, you know, more than anything,” Gilyard said Tuesday from his Northern Kentucky home. “It’s part of living in the city. I know from my experiences in the city when it warms up – as soon as it warms up – the grimy cats in the city come out. I wasn’t paying attention to my surroundings as much as I should have been.

Mayor Slay Gets in to the Sports Reporting Business
Last Wednesday our honorable Mayor Francis Slay, took to his blog and proceeded to, out of nowhere, dick-punch former Rams owner-in-waiting Shahid Khan by backing the “familiar face” of Stan Kroenke.
Two potential new majority owners have emerged. One is a familiar billionaire face [Stan Kroenke] with generally unknown, but demonstrably successful, views. The other [Shahid Khan] is an unfamiliar very, very rich face with widely known, but generally untested, views.

Closing Out Your Week With Tony LaRussa’s Daughter Bianca
For a guy that only hit .199 for a 6 year major league career, he hit a home run on this one.
Not liking that one? Here’s three more:
Tony sure put his bat in the right place to make this hit!
Nothing pisses of Tony more than a pitcher going for his guys, but I’d still take my chances going high and tight to her.
Tony LaRussa has a hot daughter.

Tony LaRussa is Going to Be on Whatever the Hell “Housecat Housecall” is
Tony LaRussa doesn’t like to lose. We’ve heard good friends will be in town to have a meal with the man, and if the Cardinals loose that night, he won’t go. That’s mean, but that’s Tony. He can be a hard-nosed competitive, and frankly, mean guy some times. Hell look at him go at STLToday sports writer Bernie Miklasz.
…and then he’ll go do something like this:
…and we love every second of these moments.
