Whatever Yadier Molina is eating for breakfast, I want some. After spending most of the season making outs, the Cardinals catcher has done nothing but hit during the playoffs. Two walks and an RBI double helped lead St. Louis to a come-from-behind 5-4 victory over the Detroit Tigers at Busch Stadium on Thursday night.

While I’m off escaping to the central California coast for a few days, I thought I’d leave you with a few bits from Stan Hart’s Scouting Reports, which provides actual photocopied reports and commentary on 40+ players from back before they signed professional contracts. We’ll feature a different player each day this week. Enjoy!

I would like to point out, for the record, that if the World Series had featured the Oakland A’s and the San Diego Padres, none of this nonsense would be happening. Wednesday night’s game has been postponed and rescheduled for Thursday. The forecast in St. Louis calls for rain the next two days, so don’t […]

The Detroit Tigers bounced back to beat St. Louis, 3-1 in yesterday’s Game 2 to even the series. Oh, and by the way, Tigers starter Kenny Rogers might have cheated for an inning. What?!?! Forever will this game be tarnished by the mysterious brown substance on the inner palm of his pitching […]

Peter Friberg at Padres Run Down is examining some of the moves the San Diego Padres might make this off-season.

Rookie Anthony Reyes had the fewest wins of any Game 1 starter in World Series history and was the first in 33 years with a losing regular-season record. He wasn’t even on the Cardinals’ roster for their first-round series against San Diego, but all that is in the books now. […]

Red Hot Mama wants to know what’s wrong with the A’s. She’s coming at this from an unusual angle — it’s not the winning she has a problem with, it’s the apparent failure of the franchise to capture the imagination of Bay Area baseball fans:
There’s no doubt that the A’s have had a prodigious number […]
