A first-inning mistake to Albert Pujols usually isn't enough to decide a game. On Tuesday night, it was all the offense Jeff Suppan needed.

The orchestraâs performances at Carnegie Hall this week reminded listeners that character and distinctiveness in classical music have not been obliterated entirely.

As a writer, I am certainly appreciative of the fact that fighters are not crude, monosyllabic imbeciles. Indeed, the volume, quality and variety of their articulated expressions

The St. Louis Cardinals have powered their way to the best record in baseball, and their manager has a stern warning for the rest of the majors. "Our best baseball is ahead of us," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said. "I really believe that." Albert Pujols and Jim Edmonds homered in the first, Jeff Suppan (14-6) won his fifth straight start, and the Cardinals completed a three-game sweep of the San Diego Padres with a 7-2 victory Thursday night.

There was a media-run rating game recently to decide who was India&#39;s greatest prime minister. Participants played the game the Indian way _ avoiding any attempt at analystical assessment and, instead, making

Jason Giambi said he was sorry five times. He apologized three times. To the New York Yankees. To his teammates. To the fans.

The Great One hit town yesterday and he sure was welcome. He made it feel a bit more like winter. Wayne Gretzky was a pretty fair player in his day, and his time as an executive have been equally well spent.

Picked-up pieces while remembering that Len Bias died 21 years ago yesterday: Peter Chiarelli underwhelms us. His first coaching hire was a dud, and now he's apparently going to sell us on Claude Julien when most Bruins fans would prefer Mike Milbury. Charlie Jacobs underwhelms us, also. There appears to be a conscious effort to purge all things Harry Sinden ...

Paradorn Srichaphan was pumped. At the end of an exhausting, three-set match against Joachim Johansson, Srichaphan had enough energy left for a series of arm pumps and a few shouts of joy.

Most of what Chris Matthews says is mindless trash, but today he pulled out a great analogy immediately after Ted Kennedy's stirring endorsement of Obama. He compared Hillary Clinton to the character Salieri in the movie Amadeus. Until Mozart came along he was the leading composer in Vienna, but he was just a workman, a technician. Mozart had inspiration, feeling, the spirit. Salieri, even though he lived a long life and Mozart died young, is a footnote to Mozart's lasting greatness. Matthews nailed it.  Maybe this makes up for his calling the voters of New Hampshire racists because he and every other pundit read the polling data wrong.

Astros ace Roger Clemens has been -- understandably --the focal point of today's Game 3 of the National League Championship Series. That is not to say St. Louis starter Jeff Suppan is an afterthought. In fact, he could play a major role in helping the Cardinals advance to the World Series.

Former Red Sox [stats, schedule] pitcher Jeff Suppan, who Thursday night outdueled Roger Clemens in Game 7 of the NLCS, was thrilled to be getting another chance to pitch at Fenway, especially with all the marbles on the line.
