Oscar Taveras died too young, and I hate it. That is how I feel at the moment. Is it fair to subjectively think that? I don’t know.

I've been told that streaking was considered trendy and popular for awhile in the 1970s. Sounds disgusting and crazy; and not haha crazy like Will Ferrell in "Old School."

St. Louis Cardinals postseason inspiration for Illini NCAA Tournament hopes
The St. Louis Cardinals are huge in Champaign-Urbana. They compete with primarily the Chicago Cubs, but also the White Sox to be the favorite MLB team in the community dominated by the University of Illinois campus.

St. Louis Cardinals Claim 2011 World Series Title
Only one team, the New York Yankees, has more World Series titles than the St. Louis Cardinals. And the Cards did it again tonight, bringing themselves one step closer to the Yanks' record. It was certainly unexpected. I have two Cardinals fan friends- one got so angry during spring training that he checked out in August. He didn't even follow the pennant race. The other got … [Read more...] about St. Louis Cardinals Claim 2011 World Series Title
