Cards win and they’re 2 back, and all of the sudden we *really* have to pay attention. No idea when the Memphis Redbirds turned into a good team, but suddenly they are. Juan Nicasio is a Cardinal, but if no one noticed, does anyone care? Does that add excitement to the Pirates series this weekend? Some rules were changed in the NHL yesterday, and the offsides rule could still be tweaked. Gaines and Terry Yake have some interesting ideas. RIP, Noel Picard. Is Gaines agoraphobic? Events are fun.
