    The Jake Westbrook Blues

    What? I like 80s wrestlers. Deal with it. ​It ain't great being Jake Westbrook right now. Hell, it isn't all that wonderful having to watch Jake Westbrook at the moment, either. In fact, I would say it might actually be a little worse having to watch him. After all, none of us are getting paid to ... More >>

    It happens to every guy at some point in life. You reach a certain age, and all of a sudden you start getting nostalgic for the past.

    Albert Pujols: The Weight of Being The Mang

    Remember that pose?​Another series, another bad loss trying to go for a sweep.

    The Most Momentous Moments of the Aughts: The Cardinals

    So on this last day of the decade, I had myself a thought. "Aaron," I thought, "You should really try to do some sort of decade-long wrap for St. Louis sports." ​"You know what, Aaron?
