Your NL Central "Preview"
Look, guys: We didn't pick the Cardinals! (We still think they'll win the wild card.) Yes, our flirtation with the Brewers continues; we actually picked them to win the wild card at midseason last year. So there's that....
Baseball Season Preview: Los Angeles Dodgers
You might remember, from back at the beginning of the NFL season, when we previewed each team by having a writer we liked write about their favorite team....
Seriously, You Should Be Very Honored, Mountainers
We'd like to congratulate the West Virginia Mountaineers on their NIT championship last night; that's something that can never be taken away from them. In fact, fans can buy the officially licensed T-shirt above. Truly, it's quite an honor....
Your NL East "Preview"
We should probably warn you: The Phillies are one of those teams we pick to win the National League East a lot. If you haven't noticed, they haven't won the NL East in a long, long time. But we're gonna try again anyway....
The Lovely Ladies Of Duke
Continuing their rather impressive rampage through the college basketball landscape that the Hoops Odyssey kids are on, they've found some rather, uh, spirited female Duke fans....
Billy Packer Admits The Truth
We're beginning to think that Billy Packer is actually charming and clever, and this is all big prank he's playing on all of us. This clip confirms what most of us already knew....
Your AL West "Preview"
All right, last one of the day until tomorrow ... we think this is actually the easiest division to pick, which is why, obviously, we're going to have it entirely wrong....
Gus Johnson: Get On The Dance Floor!
Because the NCAA Tournament is never quite the same once Gus Johnson leaves — a week earlier this year, dammit — someone who knows how to use that audio software on your computer that we never understand has put together a Gus Johnson remix, featuring some of his greatest moments set to one of them ...
Strangely, The Statue Is All Natural
See, this is why you should hold off of bronzing your players until they've been retired for a while....
Jim Nantz Does Like Him A Good Pun
With the official Week Of Jim Nantz just around the corner — starting Saturday, Nantz is about to take a starring role in all your nightmares — we are reminded that Nantz, right now, is probably sitting in a hotel room in Atlanta, jotting down puns and single entendres based on which ever team wins ...
Your AL Central "Preview"
Everyone says it's the toughest division in baseball, but we think it's just the mostly hotly contested: You could pretty much interchange any of those top four teams and not sounds like a fool. But those Royals ......
Baseball Season Preview: Texas Rangers
You might remember, from back at the beginning of the NFL season, when we previewed each team by having a writer we liked write about their favorite team....
Your AL East "Preview"
All right, whether you're ready for it or not, baseball is starting Sunday night. (The Mets will watch the Cardinals raise their World Series title flag. The Cardinals won the World Series last year.) The full slate of games kick off Monday, so we figured it was time to start previewing some divisio...
Ronald, Wooden And Some Teenagers
Last night was the McDonald's All-American Game in Louisville. It attracts a colorful, surreal crowd....

Notes on Wednesday's games in the National Basketball Association ......
"The Ball Is Tipped ..."
Because we are just more than two days away from the Final Four, we thought we'd all work ourselves up into a sappy, cheesy frenzy with the good ole "One Shining Moment." Never before has something so horrible felt so, so right. (Note: Everything horrible feels right, actually.)...
Baseball Spits In Congress' Face (And Yours)
So, it's pretty much set in stone now: If you don't have (or can't get) Direct TV, you're shit out of luck....
There's More Than One Way To Skin A Softball Player
This, friends, is the College of Southern Idaho softball team and their VERY clever slogan this year. CSI — wee! — is a tiny junior college with an incredibly innovative way of promoting its players. They ask them if they're "shaven or unshaven."...

What's Eating Zack Greinke?
Last year, the mystery depression that clouded the mind of Royals pitcher Zack Greinke confounded teammates, coaches and fans. The man Baseball Prospectus once called "the future of pitching" was off the map. He has been in spring training this year and has even won a spot in the Royals' rotation, n...
