ALDS Game 2 Live Blog: Indians Vs. Yankees
Kind of a big game tonight for the Yanks; will it all destruct? It's Fausto Carmona for the Indians and Andy Pettitte for the Yankees. And your live blogger once again is the great Matt Sussman, who did an awfully bangup job yesterday. Enjoy his comedic stylings after the jump....
Ryan Dempster Will Make You Root For The Cubs
A reader named "Al" sends in the above picture, and the following story, after the jump....
TBS Knows Baseball, But About That Frank Fellow
All told, we've been pretty impressed with TBS's playoffs coverage so far. Cal Ripken is shockingly candid, that lead-from-first graphic is kind of neat and they're generally restrained about matters. (Other than Dick Stockton's hair, that is.)...
Which One Is The Dinosaur? We Keep Forgetting
Who is more despised among Colorado Rockies fans right now; their own mascot, Dinger, or Tony Kornheiser? It's a close call, and there's actually a petition afloat to get rid of one of them once and for all....
The NLDS ... After Dark!
It's difficult, even for a Cardinals fan, to find much joy in these late-night Diamondback shellackings of the Cubs. A team that was outscored for the season is dominating a fellow division champion. Fortunately, the games have been too late for any children to see the carnage....
Yankees Lose! Ack! (Oh, And The Indians Were There Too)
We talked about this in our Times column this morning, but we repeat it here: Nobody handles losing worse than a Yankees fan. That's not meant to be a criticism; we wish we expected our teams to win more than we do. It's no fun, sometimes, waiting for the piano to land on your head....
Citizens Bank Park Is Off To A Thrilling Postseason Start
You know, it sure does seem like there are a lot of forlorn, lonely looking Phillies fans pictures on the wire today. And why wouldn't there be?...
About Last Night
What you missed while your passport was being protested by the Shoah Foundation ... • MLB: The Bridge To CC Sabathia ... Indians take ALDS opener 12-3 over Yankees. • College football: South Carolina beats Kentucky, sends Kige Ramsey into fit of rage. • NHL: Chris Drury now using his powers for good...
ALDS Game 1 Live Blog: Indians Vs. Yankees
The Phillies-Rockies series is half (or more) over, and the Yankees still haven't played. If they hadn't lost their spot as MLB's Prime Time Team to the Red Sox, we'd be waiting even longer. But here they are, facing an Indians team that's been underrated all season. It's C.C. Sabathia for the Indi...
Another Morning Times Column ... And It's Free This Time!
You might remember, back in March, when we wrote a daily column for NYTimes.com about the NCAA basketball tournament. Those columns ran back when they had TimesSelect over there, so you had to pay for them. Everything's free over there now, which means not only can you read the old ones, you can rea...
The Mascots Are Attacking The Cheerleaders
We're not sure what possessed Freddie Falcon to smash a birthday cake into the face of an Atlanta Falcons cheerleader … but we don't get the impression she was particularly happy about it....
In Which Bonds And His Ex-Mistress Are Both Fully Exposed
As you may have heard by now, it seems that the November issue of Playboy has just about something for everyone. Six-page nude pictorial on ex-Barry Bonds mistress Kimberly Bell? Check. Bell's revelations about Bonds' steroid use, including eyewitness testimony concerning his shrunken testicles? Che...
NLDS Game 2 Live Blog: Phillies Vs. Rockies
You can't expect the Phillies' top stars to go hitless again, but it's clear that they're in some serious trouble if they lose this game. It's Franklin Morales for the Rockies and Kyle Kendrick for the Phillies, and if that doesn't scream Playoff Baseball, we don't know what does....
Please, Anything But A Recount
The "votes" are "in," and the President of Red Sox Nation is ... oh, Jerry Remy. It's almost as if this whole thing was kind of dumb....
Stephen A. Smith Has Important Friends Other Than Allen Iverson
We suppose it explains a lot about Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas that, in a room full of people, he would single out Stephen A. Smith for a conversation....
Don't Panic Just Yet, Cubs Fans
Because we are committed to the month of October affording us as little sleep as possible, we stayed up and watched the whole Cubs-Diamondbacks game last night, and we don't quite understand all the fuss about Lou Piniella pulling Carlos Zambrano after the sixth inning....
The Red Sox Are Feeling Awfully Good About Themselves
SI's Tom Verducci has an excellent rundown of just how dominant Josh Beckett was yesterday, and he was probably the biggest story yesterday: He made the Sox look like they were going to dominate the Angels like they did three years ago. That team has some swagger now. And that's all Red Sox fans ne...
Some Quiet, Bewildered Phillies Fans
We'll be doing short wrapup posts about each of yesterday's games, by the way. In case you're wondering....
About Last Night
What you missed while watching the film "Mr. Potato Head, Full Of Grace" ... • MLB: ALDS, No runs for you! Beckett baffles Angels 4-0 in Game 1. • NHL: Picking up where we left off. Red Wings 3, Ducks 2. • Tennis: News from Japan that doesn't involve anime or sumo wrestling ... Venus Williams advanc...
