Cards Take World Series, Make Millions Care About Baseball

What a team. What a ride — the Cardinals, the world champs.

And so it was that the St. Louis Cardinals clinched the seventh game of the 2011 World Series, a contest where they seemed to fly on their adrenaline from last night’s game six comeback, while the Texas Rangers just never got going.  Read more…

David Freese, Cards, Force World Series Game Seven

2011 World Series Game 6 - Texas Rangers v St Louis Cardinals

The St. Louis Cardinals were obviously not ready to go home.

The Cards came back from two two-run deficits in the ninth and tenth innings of last night’s game six of the World Series, ending in an almost unbelievable 11th-inning walk-off home run from David Freese that took the score to 10-9, and the contest to a seventh game.

Breaking: Manny Ramirez Charged With Domestic Battery

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel is reporting that Manny Ramirez was charged with domestic battery tonight after he was arrested at his home in Weston, Florida. His wife called police, stating that the retired Tampa Bay Ray struck her across the face.

Ramirez retired from Major League Baseball just five games in to his last season as a Ray after a positive drug test. This followed a 50 game suspension while with the Los Angeles Dodgers during the 2009 season. Ramirez is perhaps best known for helping the Boston Red Sox win two World Series titles in 2004 and 2007

The phrase “Manny being Manny” isn’t going to hold any sway in a court of law, I’m afraid.
