PUNCHING KITTY

According to ESPN’s MLB prospect, and faking himself into thinking he is way more important than he is expert, Keith Law says St. Louis Cardinals prospect Casey Mulligan might be good enough to get to St. Louis this summer:

Relievers don’t usually make my top 100 unless they’re top-shelf, but ex-catcher Casey Mulligan and his plus changeup could sneak into the big leagues this year.

You might recognize the name Casey Mulligan.  Since he’s not quite famous for his relief pitching just yet, you probably know him as the ballplayer that suddenly busted out a rendition of Thriller during a rain delay.

We’ve given Kurt Warner a hard time in the past and we still don’t fully understand the people that are so wrapped up in Warner-love that they seemingly forget about just how bad he was at the end of his Rams’ career.  However, Kurt Warner is seemingly a great guy that has had a great career (though not hall of fame worthy) and made the rarely seen choice to end it on top.  Sure he got rocked repeatedly and got whooped by the Saints, but Warner was a solid quarterback this year on a good team.

Jesus.  It’s come to this.  St. Louisian Jon Hamm hosted Saturday Night Live last night and dropped the old “Where did you go to high school?”  line to a national audience. Missed it?  We have the video below:

Yes, we know its just a line in one of those “last few of the night that really aren’t that good but if we don’t let the new guy get a sketch he’s written on the air soon he’s going to kill himself” sketches, but still this is getting out of hand.

Here’s the ESPN story.

We’ll talk about this on Monday.

Who says professional journalism is dead?  Fox2’s Charlie Marlow is out there keeping the standards high by doing what any drunk frat guy would do when a camera is pointed at him.

This isn’t so bad.  I hear there are photos out there of Peter Jennings giving the Shocker to an Asian hooker.

You know that package with the baggie of cocaine you were expecting?  Well it was accidentally delivered to the Franklin County Assessor’s Office.

The Union Police Department was contacted Thursday afternoon after a mysterious powdery substance turned up at the Franklin County Assessor’s Office from a Pacific resident. The powdery substance turned out to be a controlled substance.

This story gets better, because apparently the Assessor isn’t exactly hip to the jive.  When he saw the white powder, he didn’t do the tv cop thing where they just stick their finger in there and then taste it. [Editor’s Note: That’s what she said!] No, he called in HAZMAT!

Jim Edmonds got tired of waiting on the Cardinals to make him an offer so he did what the Jeff Suppan’s of the world have done before him:  He signed with the knock-off Cardinals.  Also known as the Brewers.

Outfielder Jim Edmonds has agreed to a minor-league deal with the Milwaukee Brewers, according to Associated Press.

The one-year deal was first reported by Ken Rosenthal of Foxsports.com

Steven Jackson has responded to the heinous charges by his ex-girlfriend and mother of his son to TMZ:

The St. Louis Rams running back just released a statement to TMZ saying, “It’s disheartening that I have to address any alleged allegations 10 months later, but I have read the accusations made by Supriya Harris, and they are untrue.”

Jackson continued, “The accusations are especially hurtful because those who truly know me know that those actions would be out of character for me.”

TMZ is reporting that there has been a claim filed in Las Vegas against the Rams All-Pro running back stating that during a 2009 argument…

“Steven became enraged and pushed me to the ground, repeatedly.”

“forcibly grabbed my arm and flung me against the door. I was crying and trying to protect my stomach from the blows, as I was 9 mos pregnant.”

What the hell is it about time lapse videos that are so damn entertaining?  I don’t know either, but I just found a St. Louis themed one on Vimeo:

Walking around, or a sped up day (ahem) are really is the best uses of time lapse.  Porn I think would be really weird all sped up. It would be over so quick, you really couldn’t enjoy yourself.  Oh wait.  I think I just found some sympathy for women.  Give me a second it will pass…
