Pitching, we have Brett "Left Hook" Myers and James Shields, not "Hields That Begin With The Letter 'S' " on the mound. Talking, it's Joe Buck (pictured) and Tim McCarver (imagined.) Jumping, is viewers like you. * * *Top 9th 2 ...
World Series Diaryland: Everybody Wants to Reach Out And Touch Cole Hamels
Each day after the World Series, this space will serve as a reason to rundown all that happened in the Fall Classic the night before. Since nobody's watching it, this seems like a fine idea. Plus, the Phillies are involved, and you know, I'm quite fond of those guys. Historians are quick to point ou...
Tom Brady Isn't Doing So Hot
If you see Tom Brady this weekend, don't ask him about the knee! After finding out that his joints aren't made out of cotton candy and lollipops, doctors are worried about an infection that arose after his ACL reconstruction.

The Roundup: Hamlin’s Expensive Tires Boosted
So we love Penelope Cruz. So what? … 27 states are in recession, with 14 more on the cusp … the more Starbucks a country has, the bigger its financial problems … Yahoo is cutting 1,500 jobs, no word if sports will be affected … interesting lawsuit here … another athlete/celebrity tandem bites the du...
World Series Game One Live Blog: Phillies At Rays
Playoff baseball in Florida. Just as Abner Doubleday foretold in his hallucinations. It begins right now as Cole "Settled In" Hamels and Scott "Dialed In" Kazmir will pitch. Joe Buck and Tim McCarver will tell you what you already knew on the Fox broadcast. And this piece? Well, I call it "Lick My L...
Where My Team Stands: Philadelphia Phillies
I haven't eaten all day, just quietly sitting here watching the time go by, reveling in the moment before something inevitably goes wrong. This is the great unknown portion of the program, where you can sit back, take it all in, and just marinate in the reality that your team is inevitably part of a...

World Series Preview: Rays Vs. Phillies
The World Series is truly my favorite week of the year. Having the World Series going on is an excuse that gets you out of anything, every year. No matter what plans I might be forced into, all I have to say is, "Hey, the World Series is on," and people understand. You know how Will gets about his ...
The Phillies Put One In the Win Column Already
Home Run Derby kicks off its World Series coverage in the classiest way possible, by pitting the Ball Girls of the Philadelphia against those people that jump on top of the dugout for the Tampa Bay Rays. So far, the Ball Girls are trouncing the Rays in online voting poll, which will hopefully be eno...
The Angryville Chronicles: Stories About Philadelphia's Ferociously Loyal, Amusingly Vile Fanbase
A couple of weeks ago, I asked for stories about people's worst Philadelphia fan experiences in the hopes that I'd be able to use them right before the start of the World Series. That worked out. As you may know, the Philadelphia Phillies are National League Champions (Woo-hoo!). I received many, ma...
His Ad? An Actual Attack
Matt Lindland is a former Olympic silver medalist in wrestling and a current MMA fighter for Affliction. Oh, and he's also running as a Republican for a seat in the Oregon State House. His Democratic opponent in Oregon's District 52 is Suzanne VanOrman. The Fightin' 52nd, you say? Not if Suzanne has...
The Deadspin Pub Gets Nutty In Argentina
Ladies and gentlemen of the Deadspin Pub, if you've never seen the Superclásico, an Argentinian derby between the nation's top two teams, today you can change all that. Whenever River Plate and Boca Juniors get together on the same field it's going to be pretty tough to tear your eyes away. Continue...
Jake Peavy Would Prefer to Run And Hit And Sing and LAUGH AND LOVE!
The rumours about Jake Peavy's longing to stop wearing camouflage continue to churn along. The Padres ace, who went 10-11 last year despite having an era of only 2.85 (in case you were wondering why he wouldn't mind a trade), has apparently shortlisted his, um, list of desirable teams to five: the B...
League Play Returns to the Deadspin Pub
Welcome back to another weekend at the Deadspin Pub. The World Cup qualifying matches that interrupted club matches last weekend is in the rearview mirror, and now we can revert our focus back where it counts, on the thrill of domestic competition. Today we're featuring an English Premier League bat...
Jay Cutler's Love Affair With His Own Opinions Continues
Is Jay Cutler under the impression that he's under oath every time he's asked a question by the media? Sure, it's entertaining for all of us, but eventually the Broncos quarterback is going to talk himself into trouble. While appearing on Fox's The Best Damn Sports Show Period on Thursday, Cutler wa...
Well, That Didn't Take Very Long
Oh the joys of Cafe Press. Luckily for those grammatically challenged denizens rooting for the Philadelphia Phillies for the World Series, you now get to have your very own T-shirt that will both show off pride in your team and your low SAT scores. There are a wide variety of styles — ring tee, long...
Overexcited Phils Fan Creates Grammatically Challenged Rally Cry
Well, this is a shame. And typical. But Philadelphia Phillies fans have never been known for their, oh, you know. What's the word? Smarts. (Present company included, obviously.) But this is just so endearingly dopey, I'm hopeful it does catch on. Via The 700 Level (which is celebrating in high style...
Madonna, A-Rod Reportedly Now Allowed to Touch Each Other's Private Parts Without Consequence
Well, this was inevitable. Now that she's officially divorcing her husband Guy Ritchie, the news resurfaces that over-striated singer Madonna is once again possibly doinking Yankees' third baseman Alex Rodriguez. (*kazoo sound*) To the celebrity gossip-mongering! Newsday's blog, The Final Score, beg...
