D) ... uncovering a vast postseason conspiracy to repeatedly air Jimmy Fallon and a lobster; the change to 'avocados from Mexico'; and the related Charter Media hex on all ballplayers named Garcia.
E) ... waiting for viable comment search and a working archival calendar, support@sbnation.com.
F) ... laughing heartily with Matthew Leach at Rui's failure to ask a perfectly random question.

- Tim Kurkjian. He also reports that Skip Schumaker did not realize it was a squirrel at the time. By the way, Stuart Scott is miffed that the squirrel is not following him on twitter. Yes, the squirrel has been called out on national TV, in addition to being picked up by the AP. Just the facts from the P-D. ETA: Scott acknowledges that he is "honored" that the Busch squirrel is now following him on Twitter. (Second run of late SportsCenter, so that's about an hour turnaround.)

(Extra Inn. Overflow with The Glare) He made the right call, Lugo said, raising his eyebrows and smiling. I know I'm safe.

I suspected it given the small town of Brownwood, and some recollections about Shelby's family background. The Millers were going to the Futures Game to see Shelby pitch, but canceled to attend the funeral.
Holliday said he wanted your pants. He says they probably have some hits in them.
Equipment manager Rip Rowan to Hall-of-Famer and Coach Emeritus Red Schoendienst Moar Goold quote for when the P-D erases it: The prolonged skid left some Cardinals searching for ways to bust the slump. Skip Schumaker and Ryan Theriot had Kyle Lohse shave lines in their hair, but only on one side, from the temple back. Schumaker suggested they go old school and wear their cuffs high to reveal red stirrups. Ryan Theriot and Yadier Molina agreed, and before taking the field Holliday decided "to join the little fellas." That's why he needed Schoendienst's pants -- they fit his waist, but were short enough to show off the socks. Wearing them the way Schoendienst does, with the black and white rings showing at the top of the stirrup, Holliday drilled a fastball from Royals' reliever Greg Holland with one out in the eighth to reverse the Royals' one-run lead. Colby Rasmus set up the winner with a leadoff single off a lefty reliever, and on a hit-and-run he sped to second to avoid a double play on Albert Pujols' sharp grounder. ... La Russa said the instant production was the result of Holliday's "hard work." Others could chalk it up to talent. Perhaps it was the pants. They'll be back Sunday. "I would think so," Holliday said. "You don't change up (after) a win."

I don't buy into the narrative, personally, but here are a pile of anecdotes from the Better Living Through Team Chemistry edition of the Cardinals.

I was just seized by the notion. How lucky are we to have all these Hall of Famers as fixtures in the clubhouse? I know Red is usually there at home games, but the sight of him patrolling his team is a welcome hallmark of Spring Training. Post-Dispatch is probably all from Chris Lee. A couple from Scott Rovak. 2011 advising Tony staying young; even Colby laughs What do you think of that contract, Tony? Whaddaya say, Mo? So, didn't work it out, huh? Guess I better get ready to hit cleanup. years past They should probably work out that contract. Well, sure, Skip, you can join my posse. Check out my ride, homies. When are you signing up with us, son? Post-Dispatch special album
Carpenter laughed. "He wouldn't let me off the phone. It was like 45 minutes of just nonsense."
Carpenter said he talked to Wainwright on the telephone Tuesday and could tell that the latter was under some medication after the surgery. Hummel; pointed out by bghThe presenter butchers pronunciation; the President takes a little shot at Albert without mentioning his name.

Oh yeah, and we're doing what we always do, Pinky: roast Tony La Russa. "The major award winners are all confirmed to be in attendance. Pujols and pitcher Adam Wainwright will be honored as co-Men of the Year, both having finished second in the MVP and Cy Young award voting, respectively. Matt Holliday will receive the Darryl Kile Award, which is voted on by teammates and will be presented by last year's winner, Skip Schumaker. Also scheduled to receive recogniitions or awards are Jaime Garcia, Yadier Molina, Houston center fielder Michael Bourn, and the Cardinals' two organizational players of the year, Shelby Miller and Matt Carpenter." Matt Carpenter doesn't have an SBN tag. Is he real?
