Our Favorite Stoned Burnout
The first game we ever saw at the new Busch Stadium was also the first game Jeff Weaver pitched as a Cardinal ... and it was rather unpleasant for the both of us. (Our experience would, in fact, get worse.) We couldn't imagine Weaver lasting longer than a couple of weeks; the best compliments we cou...
NLCS Game 5: Is Watching This Supposed To Be A "Leisure" Activity?
According to our deep, inside, exclusive-to-us-only sources, the weather in St. Louis today is miserable ... but more in a "are we really supposed to sit out here through 30 La Russa/Randolph pitching changes?" way rather than a "it's getting rained out?" way. So the pivotal Game 5 is here, with Tom...
Jay Mariotti Might Be Somewhat Sensitive To Criticism
We have a lot of respect for the folks at Wikipedia. It's an immeasurably valuable resource that we use every single day. And we can't imagine it's easy dealing with what's certainly their biggest headache: People logging onto their site just to post random crap and mess with the entries. You know, ...

Lamar Thomas Speaks (Kind Of)
We're having trouble locating it specifically on CanesTime, the message board for Miami football, but several other Scout.com boards have posted what is allegedly a message from recently fired Miami Hurricanes radio broadcaster Lamar Thomas, whose now infamous tirade about beating down FIU players h...
A-Rod Could Have His Own Build-A-Bear Workshop
The Cubs, a team we remind you finished behind the Pirates this year, hired Lou "Let's Not Bring Up The Two Languages Thing Again, Please" Piniella as manager yesterday, and, according to ESPN, he wants to bring A-Rod to town....
Notes From The "Underground"
We would like to take a moment to salute commenters Christ Sabo (who first posited the idea) and twoeightnine (for his brilliant, terrifying designs), along with the rest of you — we particularly liked this MDT post — for your mad, breathtaking work on the ESPN Radio "underground" email from yesterd...
"You Down With Brandon Inge?"
We've logged some pretty outstanding fan song remixes, including the rather epic "Sweet Shaun Alexander," which even made deceased members of Lynyrd Skynyrd roll over in their graves, and they're still drunk....

Whatever It Takes, Tiger Fans. Whatever It Takes
It's World Series week in Detroit, and you know what that means: Fans doing anything they can in a mad, desperate dash for tickets. (If the Cardinals somehow sneak in, you know we're whoring ourselves out. Though we're still not going anywhere near a press box.) Our first entry is an eBay auction of...
Your Early Round Pants Party Winners
You might remember last week, when Tiger Woods was shaking his Hootie thing around these parts. Well, we promised then that we had five versions of that thar video game to give away to the top five finishers in Pants Party League, and now we're here to pay up....
For Those Few Seconds Of Needed Mirth
Just to clear that Buzzsaw taste out of our mouth — hey, it's Arizona at Oakland this week; that'll be fantastic — we've watched this video about five times this morning....
The Last Time We're Gonna Talk About This Game
All right, we're gonna talk about this one more time, and then if you bring it up again, we're totally not giving you a cookie....
"The Bears Are Who We THOUGHT They Were!"
We're gonna talk a bit more about last night's Buzzsaw implosion a little later, but we really felt we had to start the day with coach Dennis Green — who is pretty obviously going to be fired before this season ends — putting forth one of the true great postgame press conference explosions. We still...
