It's even sadder that the last time I saw her was when I was in KC for my grandmother's (on the other side of my family from my aunt's) funeral: we stayed at her house and enjoyed time with her.

As a son of the 314…nah, I can't do it. Sports media's been insufferable enough with their Deadspin-led pathologizing (is that even a word?) of Cards fans as everything wrong with America, and the Cubs in the WS will make things even worse.

It was a fucking weird day for me, you peeps: the junior hockey team I work for raised $6,000 for the family of a police officer that got killed on duty locally (and before anyone says anything, and I hate having to quantify this: the guy that shot him was white), we won 11-0 in a fucking nuts game, and drew one of…

1st cancellation: Son of Zorn

LA already said it's going to be Maeda starting, which should be interesting. (It's also the right move, as keeping Kershaw for Game 6, a money-game either way, is the proper thing to do.)

The best part of that play was Adroam Gpmza;ez looking down at the monitor of the broadcast feed in the camera well (where they had Ken Rosenthal doing analysis as well) and being caught on mic saying "TV JUST SAID I'M SAFE! FOX SAYS IT'S SAFE!"

Robert Carlyle as Begbie is probably the single scariest character ever put to film.

FUNNY STORY ABOUT TRAINSPOTTING, SINCE IT'S DANNY BOYLE'S BIRTHDAY: Oasis recently admitted that they didn't allow any of their songs to be on the soundtrack for the film because they actually thought it was going to be a film about trains. (And suddenly, Be Here Now makes more sense.)

YO BARTENDER, JOBU NEEDS A REFILL!

Gambon also had the last corner of the Top Gear test track named after him, because he managed to navigate it while having only two wheels of the Reasonably-Priced Car on the road.

I will challenge you on this point with evidence: https://www.youtube.com/wat… and https://www.youtube.com/wat…

They're fine as long as there is ample, reasonably-priced liquor around.

This is your reminder that Jim Nantz is a hack.

My point exactly!

(in hippo from Rocko's Modern Life voice) HOOOOOOOWWWWWW DAAAAAAAAAARRRRRREEEEEEEE YOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUU!

There's a substantial amount of Cards Twitter wanting the DeWitts to back up some of their Ballpark Village/new Fox deal cash to Otani. And considering how we've treated Asian players here (So Taguchi apparently still raves about how good it was to play in STL, and a big sign of Oh Seung-Hwan's popularity is that his i…

You think Cubs fans are bad? Blackhawks fans on the road are even worse. I know of Nashville Preds fans who avoid downtown BNA because they don't want to deal with asshole Hawks fans on Broadway before/during/after games against them. (They also sell their season tickets, at a very healthy markup, to these same…

Lucky Yates also got his start on TV as part of the regular cast of Good Eats.
