Over the next three years, 96 of the 120 teams will play at least one Marvel-themed game with special jerseys and the like. You know, the sort of thing that minor league baseball does. (BTW, if you are interested in going to one, Memphis and [...]
A long time ago in what seems like a galaxy far, far away 1, the St. Louis Cardinals were struggling. The batters couldn’t hit snow on Hoth. 2 The pitchers were getting blasted like C-3P0 on Bespin. 3 It was a dark time for the good guys. As of late, though, things have been much better. The bullpen [...]
We’ve done it. We’ve made the long trek from those days of March fraught with uncertainty and loss to today, where we still have much uncertainty but we gain the game of baseball yet again, at least for a time. Cardinal baseball begins the 2020 season tonight against the Pirates. So, with baseball right on [...]
May the 4th be with you! While celebrating Star Wars on May 4th is kinda like amateur hour, like partying on New Year’s, for someone that can do Star Wars at the drop of the hat and for many possible reasons, that doesn’t mean I’m going to pass over this opportunity. Honestly, the five of [...]
If you aren’t acquainted with Scenes from an Italian Restaurant by Billy Joel, fix that. A rare three-in-one song, it tells the story about high school friends getting together and reminiscing.

Dennis was pretty inspiring with the title of his post this morning. It’s about time you can blame him for something I did instead of vice versa. Also, a tip of the hat to my musical resource and Gateway co-host Tara Wellman for getting this a little sharper than it was first pass. I would [...]
When the story about Kolten Wong taking yoga classes came out, my immediate reaction–as you are probably not surprised–was to recall this Dilbert cartoon. (And by recall, I mean look over my monitor at work where it is taped.) So what if Kolten took along some of his friends to this class led by a [...]
If you aren’t on Twitter and weren’t bombarded by the countdown and subsequent unleashing of posts, a new site went live on Friday. Featuring some statistically obsessed people, a guy who never saw a changeup he didn’t love, a prospect maven with cranial issues, and whatever CardsCards is, Birds on the Black is what The [...]
The battle continues to rage outside. Luke and his friends continue to perform aerial gymnastics while avoiding laser fire and sending in some of their own. The Republic management continues to monitor things back at the base. Suddenly, something new appears on the display. The control officer contacts the ships. JAMIE POGUE (CONTROL OFFICER) [...]
The Arsenal finally comes out of hyperspace at a lush green moon of a planet named Archland. The ship settles down outside an old stone structure. Oh is quickly ushered inside and the scouting reports are then distributed with Mozeliak and others cloistered to discuss and analyze them. Finally, the braintrust emerges and calls [...]
