You Won’t Miss Rick Ankiel, He’ll Be Back Every June as a Royal

 Posted on January 22, 2010  |  The Editor

Rick Ankiel has come to an agreement to play with cross-state pseudo-baseball team the Royals. Soon Royals fall in love with Rick’s ability to hit the occasional beautiful home run and the breeze in center field he provides on most at-bats for those steamy summer night games. Ankiel with make $3.25 million next year because he wasn’t very good last year and didn’t play that much. In a related story I once had a job I wasn’t very good at and only really showed up half the time, but they fired me and I still owed them money for the blue vest. [Read More]

Pujols is Proud of McGwire For Coming Out?!

 Posted on January 20, 2010  |  The Editor

Over the last weekend the national media descended on St. Louis for a chance to talk steroids with Tony LaRussa, Albert Pujols and of course Slightly-Less-Big Mac. Pujols had some really nice supportive things to say about McGwire to the press, but we can’t shake this feeling that Pujols is a little confused about what Mark confessed too exactly… Maybe not though. McGwire did seem pretty happy dancing with those “Single Ladies” in that video. [Read More]

McGwire to Everyone: “Oh THOSE Steroids! Yeah, I Took Those. Sorry.”

 Posted on January 12, 2010  |  The Editor

In a story about as shocking as the day Rosie ODonnell came out of the closet, today St. Louis Cardinals hitting coach and former home run champ Mark McGwire confessed he took steroids during his major league career, including 1998. Which of course is the year that JD Drew first played major league baseball…oh and he and some crazy black guy hit a bunch of home runs. McGwire said he also used human growth hormone, and he didn’t know if his use of performance-enhancing drugs contributed to some of the injuries that led to his retirement, at age 38, in 2001.

Pujols is the MVP of the Decade

 Posted on December 24, 2009  |  The Editor

According to ESPN’s Jayson Stark our very own Albert Pujols is baseball’s MVP of the decade! …duh. After all, what didn’t Sir Albert do in this decade, outside of forgetting to get to the big leagues until 2001, neglecting to finish in the top four in the MVP voting once and never quite getting around to winning any Nobel Peace Prizes? So is there really any argument here? If a man has pretty much been the MVP of his league in every single year of an entire decade, what would be the case that he isn’t the MVP for the decade as a whole? [Read More]

The Cards Come to Terms With Their #1 Pick

 Posted on August 18, 2009  |  The Editor

After trading away pretty much all of their top-end young talent in deals for Mark DeRosa and Matt Holiday, the Cardinals needed to sign #1 pick, and hard-throwing Texas right-hander Shelby Miller. Miller suddenly becomes the number one best pitching prospect in the Cardinals farm system. After initially asking for 4 million to sign, Miller and the Cards settled in on 2.875 Million. Still a lot of money, but a lot better for the Cards than 4 mill! [Read More]
