Sinking Mariners Jettison GM, Yet Richie Sexson Continues To Have A Job
Baseball's biggest upset so far this season? How Mariners manager John McLaren outlasted Mets manager Willie Randolph.

Newly acquired Oakland Raiders wideout Javon Walker seemed to be having a festive weekend until Monday morning.

At Last, The Mets Put Willie Randolph Out Of His Misery
We find it fitting, after at least nine months of fervid speculation, Willie Randolph was fired as manager of the Mets at 3:30 a.m. ET. That's too late for the tabloids to slap it on the front page, which is just a tragedy in New York City; tabloids are the reason we have managerial deathwatches....

Allisen Corpuz Seems Destined For Life Of Golf Diva-dom
This smilin' little firecracker sittin' all pretty, looking like she just shivved a man in a back-alley brawl, is 10-year-old Allisen Corpuz of Oahu.

Petey P. Cup Has A New Sidekick! (Yikes)
I imagine that in Barry Bonds' fevered dreams — when he sleeps at all — this is pretty much all he sees. We've told you about Petey P. Cup, the urine sample mascot for HealthPartners.com. But now meet his new sidekick, Pokey Syringe. Together they fight crime crusade for gay rights terrorize prostit...

As mentioned last week, the Leitch family is heading to Fenway Park this Saturday — tentative pitching matchup: Josh Beckett vs. Mitchell Boggs. You're toast, Sox! — and we are hopeful that the Yawkey Way faithful will show us the appropriate respect. That is to say: We hope they won't throw anythi...
Becky Hammon Not Going To Be The Most Popular Gal At The V.F.W
Becky Hammon's decision to play for the Russian national team in the 2008 Olympics has stirred up all sorts of Cold War emotions in Americans, yet once U.S. coach Anne Donovan calls you a "traitor" for your decision, well, it's a Rocky IV mindset all over again....
Maximizing Your Collegiate Experience

The Most Disappointing Tiger Woods Victory In History
The seventh hole of Torrey Pines decided the fate of Rocco Mediate. Rocco said before the hole, "They wanted a show, they got a show." Indeed. It seemed before today's round, most of the experts were giving Rocco about as much a shot at beating Tiger as Matt Lauer. He proved everybody wrong....
Naked People Are Stridently Anti-Willie Randolph
We don't deal with a lot of public relations people around here, which is one of the many pleasures of writing on the Internets. (For now.) But for some reason, we are on the mailing list for Rick's Cabaret in New York City — we don't know why! Swear! — and we received the following email today: "RI...

Barbados World Cup Dreams Go Down Hard
Well, that went about as expected, considering that Sussman is their starting goalie. Barbados lost to the U.S. 8-0 on Sunday in a World Cup qualifier, as you can see in the above video highlights, which are nearly as long as the match itself. Watch closely, because I'm pretty sure we scored two goa...
Goodnight, Baseball Hall Of Fame Game
It's a sad day, folks: Today marks the last ever Hall of Fame game in Cooperstown, N.Y. As much fun as it might have been, it does seem like a pain for players, to go all the way to Cooperstown in the middle of the season for an exhibition game, though we do hope it throws the Cubs (who are playing...
You Are Missing Some Serious, Serious Golf Drama

Rocco Cuts Into Lead, Still Nobody Seems To Think He Has Any Shot
As they approached the 12th hole at Torrey Pines, Johnny Miller and Dan Hicks appeared down on Rocco's chances. He'd lost a shot on ten, gained it back on 11, but, still, seems completely out of this thing down by two shots with six to go against Tiger....
