A Special Kind Of Pain
The Mighty MJD's Smorgasbord runs every Monday. Do enjoy....
Roger Clemens Is Ready To Go Home Now
Roger Clemens walked off the mound for, presumably, the final time last night, because of a balky hamstring ... we suppose. Mostly it looked like a guy finally realizing he had nothing left except for, of course, $22 million....
One More Night For The Yankees
Forgive us for referencing our column again, but we can't quite get over how dead the Yankees looked in the third inning last night. Whatever your thoughts on George Steinbrenner's "ultimatum" — and we tend to think it's the rantings of a doddering old man who mistakenly let someone end with a noteb...
Manny Ramirez And His Jazz Hands
We're pretty pleased that the Yankees won last night, not because we love the Yankees, necessarily, but because we finally have a series with a sense of competitiveness. Not only were the other three series sweeps, they were dominations; the Red Sox-Angels series was the only one that a game with a...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while hunting the great white whale ... • MLB: Torre's execution delayed on appeal, thanks to Johnny Damon. Yankees 8, Indians 4. • NFL: Favre breaks another hallowed record, that you probably won't hear much about from Madden. Bears 27, Packers 20. • NHL: Well, at least something we...
Don't Start Lending Joe Torre Money Just Yet
Thanks to Johnny Damon and Philip Hughes, the Yankees have given us all something to do Monday night. And we have one more Joe Torre-free night on the soup line. We might look for Roger Clemens there, though....
The Los Angeles Angels of Sucktown
Well I was going to wait for this baseball game to end to call it a weekend, but I think it's safe to say that it's over. The Boston Red Sox have exploded with seven runs in the eighth inning to take a 9-0 lead. The only runs that really mattered were the back-to-back solo shots from Big Papi and C...
Breaking Down Pacquiao/Barrera II
Last night I decided that if I was going to spend $60 on this fight then I might as well offer you my thoughts on the action as it goes down. What follows is a round-by-round breakdown of the fight that should have gone down two years ago. Regardless, it was still an opportunity to see the best poun...
We're Back and We're Rollin'
In case you didn't notice, or you're just waking up, we got off to a very late start today. All the server issues are behind us and we're ready for a full day of sports NFL Football! We're hurting a bit on time so instead of providing you with a television schedule and/or game previews for the day,...
Rockies Sweep, Just As They Prayed For
Major League Baseball's only team with an official religious affiliation is moving on to their first National League Championship Series. Although it's a new level of baseball for the young franchise there will be a sense of familiarity with their opponent. With Arizona and Colorado each sweeping th...
Confounding Diamondbacks Complete the Sweep
The Diamondbacks needed just one pitch to establish a lead that they would never relinquish. Chris Young, easily the most overlooked of the National League's top three rookies, starting things off wing a bang when he deposited Rich Hill's first offering into the left field bleachers of Wrigley Field...
Last Rites For the Cubs and Phillies
If the Phillies and Cubs were planning on winning some games this post season they'd be wise to get things started tonight. Chicago is already underway with Arizona and things are going just as expected, 1-0 Diamondbacks after a third of an inning. The Wrigley faithful were silenced immediately cour...
About Last Night
What you missed while beginning to regret the return of Lyla Garrity... • MLB: Pronk delivers the winner extras. Is it possible that the Yankees have been cursed? Yes it is, more on this later. • CFB: Beating Louisville is the new black. Will will (awk-ward) now dress exclusively in Beating Louisvil...
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....
