It was sudden and the St. Louis Cardinals dealt with it swiftly.
But the 20 hours or so between the disclosure by manager Mike Matheny after Saturday’s game that Yadier Molina had just left Busch Stadium to get his right knee examined via MRI and the news Sunday that the five-time Gold-Glove-winning catcher had not suffered a major injury may have seemed like a week for the Cardinals faithful.
Cable News Network’s new “Crimes of the Century” program on Sunday nights is off to a strong start. Last night’s show on the December 1980 murder of John Lennon was excellent, providing information beyond that of just rehashing news reports that immediately followed the event.
The same could be said for the first episode, based on the Beltway sniper shootings that terrorized the D.C. area in 2002. It debuted June 23 and was re-run after the Lennon episode last evening.
