Baseball brawls are usually (if not always) pretty stupid. First of all, they aren’t brawls. They’re pushing-shoving matches, with an element of the rugby scrum. Most of the guys in the pack are trying to play the role of Peace Pilgrim. Ballroom dancing is available...
I don’t know if Tuesday’s game Colorado was a test run for the postseason, or just a look at how the Blues would measure up against the best team in the Western Conference. The Avalanche prevailed, sending the Blues home with a 5-3 loss. But the game had something for...
It was another silent night for the abominable St. Louis offense, and it was nothing new. The bats in the lineup were punchless, and largely lifeless, in a 3-0 loss to the Mets on Tuesday at Busch Stadium, with NY pitchers shutting down the Cardinal hitters on three...

“Old men making plays.” That beautiful pearl was given to us by Yadier Molina, offered after Tuesday’s 5-1 victory over the Marlins in Miami. I want a T-shirt with that priceless message-motto on the front. So much of the 2022 season will be about Adam Wainwright...
