Cardinal Nation is not taking the news of Albert Pujols signing with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim very well. One chain of sporting goods stores in St. Louis was giving all Pujols jerseys, shirts, etc. away for FREE yesterday. People are not happy, even though the St. Louis Cardinals completed the most improbable journey to win the 2011 World Series. Kerry Booher, who covers the Double-A Springfield (MO.) Cardinals posted the above picture on his twitter account.

Hit The Deck! Player buzz to Pujols going (almost) Hollywood

Posted on December 8, 2011 by Dean

 Not surprisingly, Twitter blew up this morning after King Albert signed a monster deal with the so-called “Mystery Team” – also known as Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Fans in Cardinal Nation were optimistic when they went to bed last night after learning the Redbirds upped their bid and the newly crowned Miami Marlins were out of the Pujols Pool. Little did they know, they would lose their beloved first baseman to yet another team that has as many name changes as a Hollywood actress. Here’s early reaction from some of our favorite tweeps and a few new ones since Hit The Deck! took a little hiatus. CHECK OUT THE COLUMN HERE!

Videos: Did a Philadelphia Rally Squirrel Help the St. Louis Cardinals beat Phillies?

Posted on October 8, 2011 by Dean

We all know about the rally squirrel from St. Louis (above), but ANOTHER feisty squirrel was spotted, caught and released hours before tonight’s NLDS playoff game between the St. Louis Cardinals and Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. WATCH THE VIDEO HERE. The Redbirds have come from 10 1/2 games behind on August 25 to win the Wild Card on the last day, thanks to the Phillies sweeping the Atlanta Braves. Now they knock off the heavily favored Phillies. Will the Cardinals amazing run continue against NL Central division rival Milwaukee Brewers? I’m sure St. Louisians will make sure their squirrels get tickets for the games at Busch Stadium.

After the Chicago Cubs lost two late inning games to “hated” rival the St. Louis Cardinals, it was time to dress up the rookies for their flight to San Diego Sunday evening. Veteran pitcher Kerry Wood (now I feel old), posted the picture on his Twitter account with the threat that they may dress up the rookies for more hazing tonight!

Hazing Pictures: Boston Red Sox Exhale after Defeating Yankees

Posted on September 26, 2011 by Dean

Here’s the first of hopefully many photos from the Boston Red Sox rookie hazing ritual. NESN reporter Heidi Watney posted the photos as the Sox were on their way to Baltimore after they defeated the Yankees in 14 innings to cling to the American League Wild Card lead. It’s been a tough September for Red Sox Nation, so maybe everybody needs to loosen up for minute.

The Philadelphia Phillies will determine whether the Atlanta Braves slide into the National League Wild Card spot or face the red-hot St. Louis Cardinals (rather than one of the other division winner) in the NLDS. But none of that mattered Sunday as they were headed down to Hotlanta because it was finally time to put haze rookies! It’s clear they like to show a lot flesh! From Hunter Pence’s personal collection!

Posted on September 22, 2011 by Dean

The sequel to the infamous 912 commercial finds New York Yankees fan Alec Baldwin now living with Boston Red Sox freak John Krasinski. It’s the bottom of the ninth and Alec has to use the bathroom. Superstition leads to disastrous (and hilarious) results!

The 2011 Houston Astros are by far the worst team in baseball so it should be no surprise that they have plenty of rookies playing in September. Last night after losing a tough game at Wrigley Field against the Chicago Cubs, the Astros rookies were dressed up to hit the Windy City. Hazing photos are courtesy of Astros pitcher (and St. Louis Cardinals killer) Bud Norris. CLICK ON INDIVIDUAL IMAGE TO VIEW.
