JSF Show, Episode Nine: The One with Terry Pendleton (and Jack Clark)

Undoubtedly, Jack Clark is also on that list. Cardinal hero, played on the East and West coasts, went bankrupt, drag-raced for awhile, managed the River City Rascals in St. Charles [...]

Rick Ankiel's Stupid Good Throw
Rick Ankiel showed again last night that he, hands down, has the best outfield arm in all of baseball. While the throw itself technically didn't stop the Astros from running on him (Zimmerman later said that the Astros weren't going to test Ankiels arm in the first place), and the baserunner actually scored shortly afterword when Strasburg let up a two-run dobule, it was...
