Pick Your Most Hated Announcer
The finals of the great Road From Bristol bracket (non-ESPN edition) has arrived, just in time for FOX's coverage of the two championship series. The final two competitors are both baseball broadcasters, one known for being an unabashed homer, the other bringing more ballast than a war corresponde...
America, Meet Ozzie Guillen
We know FOX is disappointed that neither the Red Sox nor the Yankees are in the championship series for only the second time in eight years, but that's no reason for anyone to fret. As we've mentioned before, we couldn't possibly be more excited that White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen is going to hav...
Hear's Two The Yankees Fantics!
Far be it from us to be accused of piling on, but we couldn't help but point out this fantastic photo sent to us by a reader. We know what Yankees fans will need to work on in the offseason: Spelling....
It's Christmas In October
It's one of the happiest days in the blog world: It's the day after the Yankees were eliminated from the playoffs. As you would probably expect, the blog world has been chowing down this morning, as easily sports' most hated team lost last night to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Taking the bru...

Rich Arrogance vs. Whiny Petulance ... For The ALCS!
The players are going to be too tired to swing the bat, our brains are going to go into Rally Monkey overload and we'll be seeing Thunder Stix on our deathbed. But hey, we've still got ourselves a Game 5 tonight, and for that we should be most grateful. The Yankees put their "legacy" on the line,...
Playoff Roundup: We Warmed Up For The 19th
• We had to run out to see In Her Shoes in the ninth inning of the Astros-Braves game yesterday. Brad Ausmus was coming up, so we knew we wouldn't miss anything.

Live Blog: White Sox vs. Red Sox, Game 3
Barring rainstorms on the East Coast that push everything a few days back, this should be, unless the ALCS goes seven games and the NLCS goes six, the last afternoon weekday playoff game, which means the last live blog, which means we're sure you're just devastated. But this is almost certainly th...
Randy Johnson, KILLER ROBOT
For those of you who haven't met him yet, Korean cartoonist Choi Hoon draws the most hysterical, inexplicable cartoons on the Web. Hoon, who says baseball is "the best sport of all" because "it has the most organized and systematic rules" (which is as good an explanation as we can come up with), m...
Quite Frankly ... There's No One Watching Your Show
Well, "Quite Frankly With Stephen A. Smith" just turned two months old so we thought we'd check in and see how the much-hyped show was doing in the ratings....

If Someone Could Attack Us, That Would Be Great
We're actually surprised it took this long: Cameraman Larry Rodriguez has filed a lawsuit against Kenny Rogers and the Texas Rangers after Rogers attacked him — conveniently on camera; we've always wondered why Rogers didn't go after the guy who was actually filming — last June....
Falling Asleep To Exciting Playoff Action
We were flipping through our newspaper this morning — sorry, sometimes we actually like to read printed things — and glanced at the schedule for the remainder of the Cardinals-Padres series. They will be playing Game 2 at 4 p.m. today — we'll be live-blogging the game, and we promise to actually f...
Red Sox Fans Remaining Oddly Calm
Oh, how we love a good "pitcher looking forlorn in the foreground as guy who just homered off him trots around the bases in the background" photo. After last night's 5-4 loss to the White Sox, thanks largely to a Tony Graffanino error and a Tadahito Iguchi three-run jack shortly thereafter, Boston...
