PBR ain't bad.  I'd rank it above plastic bottle whiskey any day.

I understand the voodoo for saying it, but it ain't that bad yet.  I can imagine scenarios where either Carp or Lohse summon the muti to shut 'em down and give the good guys a chance.

The strike zone is getting a bit erratic here, with that second K on Beltran.

Awww gee, what a sweet story.  See?  That was $126 million well spent, right?

The living fusion of Ty Cobb and Bill Mazeroski comes to the plate with none on.  I predict a four run homer.

I think the PBR is blurring your vision.

TK is right.  This is the "Rick Neuheisel" who used to routinely undermine Big Ten teams in the Rose Bowl, and who fuck over the Cardinals in the post-season.  That put out on Robinson looked HOF caliber.

OK, how about a 6-run bottom of the ninth here?

That strike 2 must have caught too much of the plate for Craig.

Never say die.  Go Cards!

Thanks for showing me the umpire's ass on that critical called strike 2 on Freese.

I hope the football game you covered tonight was better than this foolishness at Busch Stadium.

Home team won by 40. It was over midway thru the 2nd quarter.

Ugh. Tough to watch. Easy to write.

Cards pound Vogelsong and Carp nails the coffin.

That said, I still think these two teams are playing for the right to get pounded by Detroit.

Do you stay with one team, or does your editor move you around?
We usually move around, but my editor has kind of settled me in with an undefeated team, which is fine, except it's the team from the town I live in, and I'm coaching in the youth program younger brothers of kids on the high school team. Technically, there's no conflict, but there have been some uncomfortable moments, like when the father of the fourth string halfback complained that I didn't mention in the story his kid had three carries for 12 yards during 4th quarter garbage time of a 35-point blowout.
I suppose I could tell my editor to send me somewhere else, but this is the first time in more than 100 years the high school football program in my town has ever started a season with a record of 7-0, so it's a great story. And every other team we cover is going nowhere.
