Watch Jerry Rice Crank It, Watch Jerry Rice Roll ...
Watch Jerry Rice crank dat Soulja Boy, then Super Man dat ho! I have to admit, I was impressed at how quickly Rice seemed to pick up the steps. Maybe that Dancing With the Stars bull-shit was worth it after all. And hey, is Patrick Ewing Jr. a certified Soulja Boy dance instructor or something? I su...

My, That Looks Like A Delicious Sandwich ...
Look, I'm not one to ask questions. When a picture of Erin Andrews eating a sandwich shows up in my e-mail inbox, I post it. It's as simple as that, really. Now ... who's hungry?...

Curse Of The Trotino?
The Curse of the Trotino was said to have begun after the Boston Red Sox let longtime outfielder Trot Nixon, never referred to as The Trotino, go to the Cleveland Indians. Yes? No? Too much? I'll stop....

Those Seven Run 11th Innings Will Kill You
We are posting this just to prove to you that we actually stay up and watch all these games. We know it's a weekend. Skeets will be back with you tomorrow. But man: We are so glad we aren't one of those Red Sox fans who stayed up until 1:30 a.m. for that 11th inning. Heavens....

My Socks Are Bloody With Anticipation
I'm with Shanoff on this one: the Red Sox may have beat the snot out of C.C. and the Indians Friday, but, regardless of that outcome, the winner of Game 2 tonight — 8:21 pm EDT, FOX — will win this series. Well, that, and the difficult task of trying to beat God in the World Series....

A quick look at what the Internets are saying about the Rockies' 3-2 win in over the Diamondbacks in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series ......


Big Bad Schaub Is An Inch Shorter Than Big Bad John
I couldn't possibly wait 'til tomorrow to post this. It just felt wrong, you know? Via Hashmarks and Sox & Dawgs, comes this Matt Schaub-inspired remake of "Big Bad John" written and performed by the Houston Chronicle's Texans beat team. Please pray that Matt doesn't get trapped in a mine on his way...

Groundskeeper Willy To The Rescue
Did I stay up late to watch Willy Taveras' amazing game-saving catch? No. Red Bull tends to give me the runs, not wings. But have I already watched it a few hundred times on SportsCenter this morning? You betcha! God is good, Christopher Llyod is great....


The Red Sox Look Like They've Been Here Before
So much for that Game 1 pitching duel we were promised. Josh Beckett threw six innings of four-hit ball to outpitch (and outbanjo) C.C. Sabathia as the Sox squashed the Indians 10-3. As Beckett rolled — even after giving up that early "wind-homer" to Hafner — Sabathia struggled from the get-go. The ...

To Watch Tonight
What to watch as you wonder if you're weird enough to run for mayor of San Francisco ... • College football: Hawaii at San Jose State. Another Colt Brennan performance for East Coast writers to ignore. [ESPN] • MLB: American League Championship Series, Game 1, Cleveland at Boston [Fox]; National Lea...

ALCS Pants Party: Red Sox Vs. Indians
It is merely a warped factor of history that we might consider these teams somehow equivalent victims of fate. The Indians are "Major League;" the Red Sox are "Fever Pitch." This is not your fault, Red Sox fans, but the truth, nevertheless....

Jonathan Papelbon Is The Lord Of The Dance!
They've stolen me Lucky Charms! Just to get your ready for tonight's American League Championship Series game, we thought we'd show you this, from, I guess, when the Sox clinched the East. You may have already seen it, but it really cannot be emphasized enough. I can't quite put my finger on why, b...

MLB Slaps Sen. Dodd On The Wrist
The only way just about anyone we know would ever donate money to a Presidential candidate has turned out to be bunk: Major League Baseball says Chris Dodd's Game 6 ALCS tickets promotion is against baseball rules....

NLCS Blogdome: Rockies Clear First Hurdle
What they're saying out there in the ether about the Rockies' 5-1 win over the Diamondbacks in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series ......

Nobody Will Stop The Rampaging Monster That Is The Colorado Rockies
Whatever you think of the Diamondbacks' fan display last night — an embarrassment, an isolated incident, a roundabout way to recycle — we don't understand why anyone is considering it a response to a "controversial" play. It was not a controversial call; Justin Upton clearly brought up his arm to kn...
