They could screw up the working parts of a ball bearing...

Willson is one of those ex-Cardinals I will always root for. Him, Tommy Pham, Tommy Edman...

And Anthony Reyes won Game 1 of the 2006 World Series as a rookie with eight innings of two-run ball. #youneverknow

Holy cow! (Might be the ballpark. Chip himself is much calmer in St. Louis, fwiw)

Add it to "false start, everybody but the center."

What I remember most from broadcasting from Laramie is *how far* kicks/punts went... And Ragtime Cowboy Joe.

Hell, *I* would say yes, & I look nothing like Al Davis! Bale once played Dick Cheney, so Al isn't that much of a stretch...

It was a league-wide thing, because the National League was 100 years old. The Pirates were still wearing theirs when they won the World Series in 1979.

Does anybody else remember the '76 Cardinals pillbox caps? Those were sweet!

A thicc-six and a pick-six... yup. Pass the smoked meat!

There's a guy sitting in the front row at Coors that has me... concerned. He's leaning back in his seat, with his eyes closed & his mouth open. I *hope* he's asleep. #STLCards

And there's a "prediction market" where one can enter the proposition that a federal judge in Alabama will overturn this ruling...

Most of his batted-ball outs come off his bat in triple digits... but outfielders chase 'em down. He'll be fine.

I had forgotten about him. Go, Ramon! #STLCards

I remember a time when 5-9 Matty Alou played 1st base for the #STLCards...

Oh, they're all paranoid... but they all have reason to be!

The "coaches poll" is often actually done by sports information directors... aka writers!

They remind me of 1964. That was the 1st year they wore red hats at home; navy on the road. I was 10.

If we hit, we win. They're good defensively, & the pitching is competitive more often than not.

Keith Merritt @kmerrittbottom.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

I miss Gussie, too... Didn't always *work*, but he *always* tried to win!

Wasn't that the plot of "M Squad" as well?

People that *don't* know that... well, bless their hearts! 😅

Uh... you live in the 'burbs, right, Craig? (My one trip to C-bus... didn't look like *that.*)

It remains a wonder to me that Miles Mikolas continues to pitch in the majors. However needs must (when the Devil drives)...
