Happy Tuesday. Monday night just wasn't for me. In addition to the kick in the nuts from Mother Nature yesterday afternoon, I've been battling a nasty little head cold. Needless to say, the television and I became best friends last night.

The St. Louis Aces Tennis Team acquired Anna Kournikova from the Sacramento Capitals.

New Chicago Bulls guard (and St. Louisian) Larry Hughes stated that, "winning a championship is not what (he) bases everything on." I'm willing to guess the 15,000 season ticket holders would disagree. [Ohio.com]
In his recent mailbag blog post on STLCardinals.com, Cardinals beat writer Matthew Leach break down why it would logically make sense for Colby Rasmus to not make the team out of Spring Training. [STLCardinals.com]
