A controversial speech from manager Mike Shildt was uploaded to social media by rookie outfielder Randy Arozarena, leading to unwanted attention for the team. The St. Louis lineup barely prevented no-hitters from Nationals pitchers Anibal Sanchez and Max Scherzer in Game 1 and Game 2 of the NLCS. On Monday, St. Louis lost 8-1 at Nationals Park to move a game away from elimination. Having been outscored 13-2 by Washington to this point, the Cardinals’ outlook is bleak....

Dusty was one of the most beloved faces to ever grace a squared circle in any company, at anytime, anywhere on the planet. He was a trend-setter, and innovator and a dreamer in every sense of the term. Dusty left a mark on the industry that will last an eternity and as a fan, I will never forget his contributions to the business. Professional wrestling is better today, as a result of his efforts....

In the video, Ted Turner asks Sagan if he is a socialist, to which the Cosmos host replies: “I’m not sure what a socialist is, but I believe that the government has a responsibility to care for the people. I’m not talking about [the] dole, I’m talking about making people self-reliant, able to take care of themselves. “There are countries [that] are perfectly able to do that. The United States is an extremely rich country, it’s perfectly able to do that—it chooses not to....

After a kick-off rally on Wednesday, members of the Northwest Carpenters Union were on the picket line Thursday. More than 800 members have already signed up to join the protest, the union said. Evelyn Shapiro-O’Connor, the union’s executive secretary-treasurer, told Newsweek that they probably had close to 1,000 members on the streets for the first day of the strike. “The attitude on the line was positive,” she said. “I think a lot of the members that I marched with today on the picket line were excited to be coming together....

The 25-year-old was Australia’s top performer with both the ball and the bat in the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne. He was the top-scorer in the second innings (63) and also picked up nine wickets in the match. “I think it’s pretty ridiculous at the moment,” Cummins was quoted as saying by Cricket Australia’s official website cricket.com.au. Wicketkeeper Tim Paine was handed the job to lead Australia in the Test format after former captain Steve Smith and his deputy David Warner were banned for a year owing to their involvement in the infamous ball-tampering incident in March last year....

The president of the organizing committee, Clemens Prokop, says both women were taken to a Berlin hospital and “first indications are that neither has suffered any serious injuries.” The crash occurred on their way from the Olympic Stadium to the team hotel after the early session on the second day of the seven-event track and field competition. The other German heptathlete, Carolin Schaefer, was not involved. The 21-year-old Grauvogel, who was seventh after six events, and the 26-year-old Arndt, who was 12th, missed the 800 meters race....

Warnock turns 70 on Saturday and will mark his milestone birthday with a family get-together at a restaurant in the Welsh countryside. The meal will taste all the sweeter after second-half goals from Aron Gunnarsson and Junior Hoilett completed yet another Cardiff comeback win. Matt Doherty had marked his 200th league appearance for Wolves by opening the scoring after 18 minutes, but a fifth defeat in six games means Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have only picked up one point from a possible 18....

Speaking Tuesday before throwing out the first pitch at the Diamondbacks game in Phoenix, the rookie quarterback said the team is still working on establishing a rhythm after wrapping up mandatory minicamp earlier this month. “Everybody is not on the same page like I was with my guys in college right now,” Murray told Fox Sports Arizona. “I’ve only been here for a couple of months so it’s going to take time, it’s going to take reps....

He secured his 1,282nd career reception for the Arizona Cardinals against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. The 35-year-old Fitzgerald, who is in his 15th season with Arizona, beat Rice’s mark on his first catch of the game. He nabbed a pass from rookie quarterback Josh Rosen, who was just seven years old when Fitzgerald made his first reception with the Cardinals. Rice spent 16 seasons in San Francisco before making stops in Oakland and Seattle....

Cardinals wide receiver Michael Floyd was matched up in a one-on-one drill with Smith at training camp. Floyd hit the cornerback with a quick stutter step that sent Smith falling to the ground.

There’s been plenty of advocates to get the National League to adopt the rule, and it looks like the voices are growing in numbers. Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak — who has been around the game for two decades and works for Bill DeWitt, one of MLB’s most powerful owners — says there’s been “more momentum” to using the DH in the NL. “I do feel like there were times I could look all of you in the face and say it’s a non-starter, it’s not being discussed at the owner level or GM," he said, via the St....

You’ve heard of “The Cardinal Way,” “The Best Fans in Baseball” and, more recently, “Cardinals Devil Magic,” and if you’re not a St. Louis rooter, you’ve been annoyed by them. It’s more than just these catch phrases, though. Not that heels can’t use catch phrases, just ask the WWE. It’s about actions and deeds. Corporate espionage, at whatever level, would be the organizational topper to years of behavior hardly in line with the idea of being the squeaky-clean team that everyone either loves or should love....

They’re going home again, down 2-0 in the NL Division Series to the Milwaukee Brewers. Game 3 in the best-of-five series is Sunday at Coors Field. “I don’t have a doubt that we’re going to get things going,” Rockies veteran outfielder Carlos Gonzalez said. If not, Gonzalez could be gone. The one-year, $5 million deal he signed last offseason to return to Colorado expires at the end of the year....
