Found May 24, 2008 on Memories Of Kevin Malone:
Rejoice! Clayton Kershaw's call up is now confirmed, Esteban Loaiza's release is now a reality, and Yhenzy Brazoban can now work towards recovery in the minors. "The Dodgers' youth movement hit another milestone Saturday when 20-year-old left-hander Clayton Kershaw was promoted to the Major Leagues from Double-A Jacksonville. Kershaw is expected to make his debut in a Sunday start against the St. Louis Cardinals. To make room for Kershaw on the 40-man Major League roster, the Dodgers activated Esteban Loaiza from the disabled list and designated him for assignment. To make room for Kershaw on the 25-man active roster, reliever Yhency Brazoban was optioned back to Triple-A Las Vegas." Continued...

NFL Says No To Alcohol

In a similar move to what many MLB teams have done in the wake of St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Josh Hancock death, the NFL went a step further by baning alcohol for all team functions.

Revisiting the 2003 Tigers

I didn't get a chance to write about the Mike Maroth trade because I had one of those busy summer weekends (family cookout, birthday party, bonfire) that kept me away from the computer. I won't write a lot about Maroth because it's already been covered by all the other Detroit blogs but I would like to add a couple of things. Even though Maroth was easily our worst starter...

Drew's cycle helps D-Backs rally over Cardinals

The Skinny: Stephen Drew went 5 for 5, including hitting for the cycle as the D-Backs rallied from a 5-1 deficit to defeat the St. Louis Cardinals 8-6 in a wild game that featured 8 home runs at Chase Field. Drew became the first Diamondback ever to hit for the cycle at Chase Field/Bank [...]

Mets Add To Their Bullpen Arsenal

The Mets have added yet another arm, according to the New York Post, to compete for the final spot in the bullpen in Ron Villone. The 39 year old, Villone, must take a physical in order for his minor league deal to become official. The move is somewhat questionable, due to Villone?s apparent link to performance enhancing drugs. This move will probably prompt a negative media reaction...

A rant on the BCS bowl system

A friend of mine (my former officemate) sent me a link to this article yesterday: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/stewart_mandel/01/22/cardinals-bcs/index.html ... and ?defied? anyone to challenge the logic in it. This is my reply, which grew long enough that I decided to post it at here given the wait for meaningful news, the recent discussions of playoff parity...

Bush and Brewers come up short against the Cards

Dave Bush desperately needed a good start against the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night in order to state his case to remain in the rotation once Yovani Gallardo comes off the disabled list this weekend. Bush got his first quality start of the season against the Cards, but it wasn't enough and the Cardinals downed the Brewers, 6-1. Bush fell to 0-3 on the season but pitched...

Are We Down To 102 Names On The List?

Quite possibly! We've all been wondering who are the remaining 103 names on the steroid list that A-Rod was found on. Names are being thrown around left and right, including St. Louis Cardinals first baseman, Albert Pujols and former Mets catcher, Mike Piazza. Here's a name that I never really thought about, but is being mentioned: Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez. There's an article done...

La Russa Summons Bed Time Story, Blankey from AAA Memphis

As the winningest manager in Cardinals' history, Tony La Russa sure seems to have an image problem. For a man who once admitted that he takes everything personal because anything less means you aren't giving it your all, he still comes off as an enigma. He's the proponent of old-school baseball, played the right way with "purity", even though he sees nothing...
