One More Night For The Yankees
Forgive us for referencing our column again, but we can't quite get over how dead the Yankees looked in the third inning last night. Whatever your thoughts on George Steinbrenner's "ultimatum" — and we tend to think it's the rantings of a doddering old man who mistakenly let someone end with a noteb...
Manny Ramirez And His Jazz Hands
We're pretty pleased that the Yankees won last night, not because we love the Yankees, necessarily, but because we finally have a series with a sense of competitiveness. Not only were the other three series sweeps, they were dominations; the Red Sox-Angels series was the only one that a game with a...

Don't Start Lending Joe Torre Money Just Yet
Thanks to Johnny Damon and Philip Hughes, the Yankees have given us all something to do Monday night. And we have one more Joe Torre-free night on the soup line. We might look for Roger Clemens there, though....
The Los Angeles Angels of Sucktown
Well I was going to wait for this baseball game to end to call it a weekend, but I think it's safe to say that it's over. The Boston Red Sox have exploded with seven runs in the eighth inning to take a 9-0 lead. The only runs that really mattered were the back-to-back solo shots from Big Papi and C...

Gamblers Can Finally Take a Deep Breath
New England was up ten when they went for it on 4th and Goal late in the game. For someone like me, with fair amount of money invested in a 17 point spread (or 16.5 if you were lucky), this is where things got nutty. Just as it looked that Cleveland would run out the clock (if Romeo can't win he can...

Bob Ryan Is Drunk On Basebahol
I've always had a soft-spot for Bob Ryan. Oftentimes I disagree with the guy, but I love the way he puts himself out there (like with Juwanna Joumanna Kidd!). I want you to know that I respect Mr. Ryan and I wouldn't every want to unfairly malign the man. But either the Fenway press box was pouring...
Breaking Down Pacquiao/Barrera II
Last night I decided that if I was going to spend $60 on this fight then I might as well offer you my thoughts on the action as it goes down. What follows is a round-by-round breakdown of the fight that should have gone down two years ago. Regardless, it was still an opportunity to see the best poun...
I Come Bearing Updates
Detroit at Washington The second half is underway and my Redskins are still kicking ass.

Washington is dominating on both sides of the bal...
Another Devastating Injury For Trent Green
That was the last thing anyone wanted to see. After coming back from a scary injury last season Trent Green took a knee right to the side of the head when he went low to lay a block for his teammate. Green was immobilized on the field and eventually carted off on a stretcher. Obviously everyone is h...

Rockies Sweep, Just As They Prayed For

Confounding Diamondbacks Complete the Sweep
The Diamondbacks needed just one pitch to establish a lead that they would never relinquish.
