The 2k10 baseball season started today in Cincinnati for the St. Louis Cardinals. After beating the Reds today 11 to 6, they are on pace for an astounding 162 wins! Which should be just enough to win the central division. *fingers crossed*
Not only that but…
Albert Pujols, with his two homeruns, is on pace for about 324 home runs.
Yadier Molina is on pace for only 162, but all of them are grand slams.

Play Like a Cardinal Commercials 2k10
Baseball is nearly upon us and that means new Cardinal commercials. We have done our homework and watched each and every one, linked them below, and have a few quick facts as well.
We don’t know why exactly the Cardinals need commercials, but we’re glad they still make them.
Ok, so you don’t put in the newly acquired Matt Holiday, but you do put in Fredbird. Twice. Update: We stand corrected.

South Park Weighs in On the Ram’s Signing of Quarterback A.J. Feeley
We ran across this the other day and just had to share…
Joe Buck’s Show Got Cancelled
St. Louis’ own sports talkin’ prodigy Joe Buck’s HBO show has been cancelled, which is quite a statement if you can’t even get people that pay for the privilege to get the network to watch your show.
Buck’s show kind of got rating when Artie Lange of the Howard Stern Show and Dirty Work (the greatest movie ever made) made the first episode about as awkward as walking in on your mom going at it with some guy you went to high school with…and then Artie Lange comes in.

St. Louis Roller Derby Scene Gets First All-Dude Team
We aren’t sure if this is the first truly “all-male” roller derby team, or if it’s simply the first team to not bother to tuck it back, but its making news all the same.
St. Louis now sports two roller derby teams, one of women, the famed Arch Rivals, and now the GateKeepers. Oh and in case you slipped and fell, hitting your head in your shower this morning…15 times, the GateKeepers coach wants to explain to you what the team name came from.

Pujols Likes Milk, Well We Think That’s Milk…Of Course it is. Why Wouldn’t It Be?
Albert “Stop Calling My El Hombre” Pujols finally got on a Got Milk ad. Apparently being the best player in a major sport doesn’t qualify you ahead of a bunch of crappy musicians, actors and a guy that beat the hell out of his girlfriend. In fact we here are loving the irony of how bad ass Pujols’ Got Milk ad is in comparison to Chris Brown’s…ahem…less bad ass ad.

Cardinals Have Internal Discussions About Trading Brendan Ryan for Alex Rodriguez
According to our sources the St. Louis Cardinals have had internal discussions about trading injured so-so shortstop Brendan Ryan to the New York Yankees for All-Star third baseman Alex Rodriguez.
It is not clear whether the Cardinals have brought this idea to the attention of the Yankees. Even if the Yankees were actually to consider this offer it might be a difficult to one to work out as A-Rod is a good contributor and has recently bonded with the New York fans after reclaiming the World Series title in 2009.

Is the Bang Bus Coming to Town? No. Just Basketball Fans
March has been here a while, but only after last Sunday did college basketball fans really start to feel like its here as the NCAA Men’s Basketball tournament is about to begin. This is especially true for our little town as once again we get to host a large chunk of said tournament and according to one CBS analyst, its going to be just like…the Bang Bus pornos?!
For those unfamiliar with the Bang Bus series, here is how Wikipedia describes it:

Phillies Want to Trade Ryan Howard for Pujols
Um, no.
That’s the rumor though according to an ESPN article. Internal discussions in the Phillies front office have centered on pitching a deal that would trade one team’s MVP first baseman for another.
The logic for a Howard for Pujols swap, as discussed within the Phillies’ organization, could fall along these lines: Pujols, 30 years old, is eligible for free agency after the 2011 season, and early conversations about a contract extension have not led to any long-term deal.

Joe Buck Probably Banging Someone New
…technically the word is that he is “taking a break” from his wife…but come on dudes. We all know what that means.
Jerry Burger took a break from talking about people no one gives a damn about and posing for photos like one of those 6 year old beauty pageant girls to actually break a story:
Sports broadcaster Joe Buck, 42, and his wife, Ann, are separated “They’re taking a break,” said Joe’s mom, Carol Buck.
