Farewell And Adieu To You Fair Spanish Ladies
Just in case David Beckham has any ideas about sticking around in Europe, Tom Cruise and wife Katie Holmes were on hand to make sure that he gets on that plane for LA. Sunday's farewell game was a magical moment for Beckham's rooting section (that's Victoria toting Imp Spice next to the Cruises), as...
Covering Everyone Within Three Rows With Beer
This video's a month old, but ... sorry, it's a basic Deadspin rule: Drunk Red Sox fan videos must be featured. We don't make the rules, we just follow them....
Why Would The Orioles Ever Need To Make A Change?

The Alternative To The 11-Foot Rim
Seems like everyone wants to play on an unsually-elevated rim today. This is nice, but ... I prefer the 11-foot alternative to this one. I wouldn't want to live in a world where these guys are NBA Superstars....
Dunk Now, While You Can, White Man
Tom Newell, son of legendary basketball big man coach Pete Newell, has a vision, and his vision would piss off the people who put together the SportsCenter highlight packages. He sees an NBA and an NCAA with 11-foot rims....
Some Honest To Goodness Father's Day Sentimentality
As is becoming custom on holidays designed to honor parents, the Ladies... have some outstanding posts up for your reading pleasure today. Texas Gal shares a lovely story about her love of the Texas Longhorns, her father, and how she got to take him to Vince Young's national championship triumph....
John Stockton Thinks This Is Excessive
Brandon Lloyd (I think that's who it is) appears to be impressed with the look. I can't tell if that look on his face says, "Man, you are crazy," or "I sho' wouldn't mind hittin' that from the back."...
About Last Night...
• MLB. White Sox 6, Pirates 1. Mark Buehrle pitched well, and for a change, other White Sox did various other things well, too. • Arena Football. Dallas Desperados 67, NY Dragons 13. Thirteen points in an Arena game? I've got to believe that Tom Walsh was involved. • WNBA. Minnesota Lynx 83, Los Ang...
A Cub Not Named Michael Barrett Fights Someone
As noted in an earlier threadjack, Cubs' slugger Derrek Lee got into it with 6'10" Padres pitcher Chris Young. Lee, as angry baseball players are apt to do, swung wildly, and Young did not back down. Had this one not been broken up, I'd like Young's chances....
About Last Night
• MLB. Rangers 7, Reds 6. Sammy Sosa's 599th home run dramatically lifts the Rangers to just 17 games under .500. • WNBA. Chicago Sky 73, New York Liberty 66. Having already equaled their win total from last year, the Chicago Sky are neither blue nor falling. • MLB. Mets 2, Yankees 0. Sooner or late...

It's Always Lima Time
So here's a question: Whatever happened to Jose Lima? Everybody's favorite 7.80 ERA pitcher with the rather disproportioned wife seemed to have vanished after being mercifully released by the Mets last year. But you cannot keep Jose Lima down. You underestimate Jose Lima at your own risk....
If Detroit Pitchers Played All Nine Positions ...
We have to agree with Bugs and Cranks: Seeing a truly awful defensive play in baseball is darned near as good as seeing a truly great one. The site's Lead Glove Awards are out, and once again we see Manny Ramirez in a place of honor. A couple of our favorite lines:...

Baseball Fans Search For Loopholes On Billy Donovan Night
We are not here to mock you, Billy Donovan. Yes, you backed out of your $27.5 million deal to coach the Orlando Magic; but we feel your pain. Steve Spurrier feels your pain.
