    St Louis Cardinals 2026

    Today Jordan Walker has fallen from 6th to 8th place in All-Star voting. This is totally shameful, given that he's near the league lead or leading the league in most categories.

    Yeah, it’s no secret that Nootbaar and Romero and O’Brien are and have been trade possibilities. Burleson might also be, since he is on track for 30 HR and is already in arbitration. With a possible work stoppage coming up, it doesn’t seem likely that the ownership is going to spend much in...

    Did anyone notice what Skip said when Marmol pulled Liberatore? He said Ollie “just got instructions” to pull Liberatore (not that I’m complaining). Apparently Ollie is still a puppet and Bloom the actual manager like Mozeilak was. It’s interesting that a broadcaster would bring it up. Or is...

    Illini Basketball 2026-2027

    I was there and left feeling the same. Our defense was solid and the margin of victory was UConn’s lucky bank shots/ shots bouncing 3 feet up off the rim and falling in. Having said that, it’s the very definition of juju, and UConn has it with us.

    Dustin May took a no-hitter into the 8th and couldn’t get a win. You’ve gotta give Milwaukee’s pitching credit, I guess. I’d just as soon see Bryan Torres for a while, so Nootbaar can take his time. Torres is probably older than Noot!

    Ayo’s trade and then his historic playoff game last night reminded me of the Cardinals’ Arozarena trade and his historic playoff run. Except Ayo’s was a lot more fun!

    He joins a short list of 4 players to come off the bench with 40+ in a playoff game, of MN players to get 40 in a playoff game, and Illini who have received MVP chants in a playoff game!

    I watched him every night from ‘72-‘77 but it was mainly to get his cottage cheese recipes.

    STOKED!!! Went to the opening day win and watched ILL win in the Sweet 16 in StL that night. Came home, watched StL win and watched ILL win the Elite 8 game! Here’s hoping StL and ILL keep it up!
