I'm Gonna Bitch & Moan

...Because that's just what I do.

Great, Mizzou won. I'm quite happy about it. They were CLEARLY the best team and it was well deserved.

The officiating crew, however, should be stripped naked and staked to ant hills. It was as if they were single handedly determined to keep Kansas in the game. The final total on penalties was 14 on Missouri (140 yards) to 2 on Kansas (25 yards). This doesn't count at least three penalties on Mizzou that were declined by Kansas. If Missouri looked at a Kansas player the flag was thrown. But, magically, Maclin getting lit up by a safety a full second before a pass arrives doesn't call for a flag, and a very dangerous block from behind below the knees gets "missed." Not to mention that twice Missouri was called for ticky-tack "retaliation" penalties after Kansas cheap shots. A solid 50% of the calls were made by the same white-haired asshole, I mean linesman, I pointed out at halftime.

It pisses me off because I didn't just want to beat Kasas, I wanted to humble them.

It was only fair since Kansas had clearly been misinformed that it was a touch football game. Their tackling was not so much woeful as nonexistent.

Yeah, it was hard to know what exactly to expect from that Kansas defense since they never played a decent offense. A refresher in Tackling 101 might be in order (unless that is considered a graduate level course at KU.)

Early Thoughts on City 2025

There are few things harder to keep track of than an MLS side in their off-season, at least for me. Despite the fact it takes place roughly during the time the MLB Hot Stove season is in full swing, it is nowhere near as easy to follow along with as baseball. Part of it is how disconnected MLS is with the international soccer calendar. St. Louis City SC is still digesting the moves it made last summer even though those players have already played important games for the club. It is all weird and disjointed, and I always feel like I am playing catch-up. Happily, the moves made in the off-season this year were not numerous. German Timo Baumgartl comes over from Europe as an option at center back, which is good because that was a position that was a little rocky for City last season. Given his own troubles over the last few seasons (cancer and uneven play in the aftermath of that), a spell with City can give Baumgartl a chance to have a re-set. Given his pedigree and the fact City si...

A Note of Optimism About the Note

If you have been trying to watch the St. Louis Blues attempt to play hockey of late it would be hard to believe the word optimism could ever be in play. The losses continue relentlessly, often in the "never in the game" style, but increasingly in a "lose from winning position" flair which is enough to make someone turn on the news for an upbeat change of pace. (Wow, plane crashes and LUNACY!) This team still can't score with the regularity needed to win consistently in this league. The coaching staff knows they have precious few natural goal scorers (one is precious few), so they attempt to make up for it by getting what I call "process" goals, i.e. goals scored by virtue of constant pressure, crazy bounces, accidental deflections, etc. Basically, any goal you can get from a player who doesn't have the knack for scoring them on their own. The Blues are something like zero for their last 12-15 breakaway chances, and zero for their last 25-30 2 on 1...

Blues Fall Off a Cliff

Hockey seasons will have their ups and downs. For whatever reason, be it injuries, a challenging schedule, an inexplicable loss of form, it is difficult for teams to maintain a good level of compete for an entire season. The good teams just limit their funks. The St. Louis Blues, however, are not a good team. They are a poor team, and poor teams sink under the weight of "here we go again" night after night. I will admit I only watched the first two periods of last night's 5-0 loss to a Colorado team that had been scuffling of late. Two periods were more than enough to get the gist of it. It was also enough to lead me to a diagnosis as to what ails the team. It isn't that they are young and are going through growing pains. No, the reason the Blues are so bad is that the veterans who are being paid to be the backbone of this team are not doing their jobs. I'm talking about Schenn, Buchnevich, Faulk, and even Binnington and Parayko. Over $30M of the salary cap is b...
