Never Look A Gift Run In The Mouth

Ladies, gentlemen, fellow Redbird fanatics:Last night was the annual State of the Union address, given from the White House in Washington.  It was an (inspiring/depressing) speech, full of (uplifting messages/political malarkey) but it didn't address a major point of life in...  [Posted on January 25, 2012 6:51 AM]

Familiarity Breeds Contempt

As we discussed yesterday, Tony La Russa made it official and rejoined the Cardinals for a 16th year.  Let's be honest, though--there is a 2012 option on the contract and I'd say it's 95% certain that option will get exercised.TLR...  [Posted on October 19, 2010 9:30 AM]
