The Cardinals quietly slip on their pajamas
Way to go, Cardinals. The Birds were in Miami today making up an August rain-out on what was originally scheduled to be their last off-day of the season. It was a one game series, in and out, on the way from St. Louis to Pittsburgh for a night game tomorrow. Anyway, Tony LaRussa's team was shut out, 4-0, by the Marlins' Chris Volstad, he of the 5.11 ERA entering the game. The Cards never had a runner reach third base, and the game took all of 1 hour and 52 minutes to play-- the shortest game in Marlins history. So take that, Jack Clark!---
A man has been arrested in Chicago for attempting to plant explosives in the neighborhood surrounding Wrigley Field. I have no other comment here except notice that, in the Sun-Times' news coverage of the incident online, a "related blog post" to the story is "(The Bears') Matt Forte claims to be healthy, 'explosive.'" Weird. Doesn't anybody edit that stuff?
One more related comment, I guess: it's a good thing the story didn't read-- "Lebanese man attempts hari-kari." I think you can all see where I'm going with that.

What do you guys think of the new George Steinbrenner memorial at Yankee Stadium? Too much? Those markers about one-sixth of the size that you see dwarfed in the foreground are dedicated to a pair of Yankee near-greats named Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio. Seriously, even "Seinfeld" writers couldn't have come up with this.
Also, is David Wells really allowed to touch it?
