They don't make commercials like this anymore, man.
The Whitey Herzog/Jack Buck Busch beer ads have to be some of the best commercials to ever grace the St. Louis airwaves.

If the Cardinals win the World Series, it will simply be impossible to top this 2022 season in St. Louis.
It feels like a movie. Just needs that storybook ending to cap it off.

fan in town tonight after Game 4.
Laila knows this team isn't close to being done.
"He hit a ball beyond a 125-foot fence. He hit it probably 20 feet further, up a berm, into the parking lot and hit his grandmother's car. That was at nine years old."
Jordan Walker is living out his baseball dream today for the Cardinals.
And his parents couldn't be prouder.
19 years ago today St. Louis showed just how much it supported its NFL team when fans flocked to a frozen downtown to welcome the Super Bowl XXXIV champion St. Louis Rams home from Atlanta.
This is really shaping up to be the most memorable September in

history:
- Team rolling towards playoffs
- Pujols chasing 700
- Goldschmidt triple crown chance
- Waino/Yadi break battery record
- Final games for Albert and Yadi
In the 18th year of his career. Owner of the 9th longest consecutive games streak in NHL history. A Stanley Cup champ. And one of the kindest guys you could talk to
Jay Bouwmeester is the consummate professional and has the entire hockey world praying for him right now

Oscar Taveras popped into my brain today.
He'd have turned 32 in June, likely in the middle of his 10th MLB season.
Crazy how fast time flies. That first career home run in the rain is still magical.

Lots of mad folks in my replies here.
Listen. Close to 10% of the players who have ever played for the national team have come from the St. Louis area.
That alone is bonkers.

Marcell Ozuna has been waiting his whole life to play in the postseason. Tonight, in his first game, he made it count. Ozuna said he saw his wife in the stands and teammates on the bench and got so excited after his clutch double.

Baseball in St. Louis, folks.
Knock it all you want, but the “Cardinals mystique” is 100% real.
I get why people not from here like to make fun, but there’s a reason so many people who have experienced it share the same stories.

Take a listen. I think this town likes the Tigers just a bit…
You cannot convince me that adding Dansby Swanson would make your team any better than just continuing to play Tommy Edman at shortstop would do.
You can’t.
I plan on this being my only Tweet about Nolan Arenado/deadline shenanigans.
If the

14-year-old football phenom Jaylon McKenzie was shot and killed on Saturday night. Today one of our crews talked to his mom, and as they filmed, the TV in the background tuned to ESPN ran a story on his passing. Chills.

He could’ve let himself be remembered for one of the lowest moments a player could have. He didn’t, and became the standard at his position.
STL is worse off without him, and is no doubt rooting for him in Milwaukee.

caught up with Alex Rodriguez, who's on the call for Cards/Phillies this week, to talk about the Albert Pujols experience for the 2022 Cardinals.

I am confused as to how there could possibly be anyone upset about the Mike Shildt speech (Which was epic by the way).
How do you think pro managers talk to their guys? Especially after a game and series like that?
