About Last Night...
• College Football: Tennessee 31, South Carolina 21. And Phil Fulmer is unwilling to take a shot at Steve Spurrier afterwards. Weak. • NHL: Thrashers 5, Sabres 4. A win would've gotten the Sabres off to the best start in NHL history. • College Football: Texas 35, Texas Tech 31. Oh good, more controv...
About Last Night...
• MLB World Series: Cardinals 4, Tigers 2. This will likely not be the last mention of this here on Deadspin. • College Football: Tulsa 30, UTEP 20. I think UTEP, I think two-step, I think Tim Hardaway. Or, Mike Price and filthy whores. Either way, I win. • NBA Preseason: Nets 138, Knicks 121. It mi...
Cardinals. World Series Champions. Holy Crap.
This, friends, pretty much sums it up. This was David Eckstein, and this was us. This is us now, actually....
The Last Night At Busch, One Way Or The Other
There's still a possibility of rain, so we might not have a game until tomorrow. But if there IS a game tonight — and the odds are in favor of it — we highly encourage you to hang out here, as you have the other games of the World Series, to rather brilliant effect, if we may say so. More than 1,000...
Twenty Four Years Isn't 1918 or 1908 ... But It's A Pretty Long Time
In 1982, we were six years old — we turned seven during the World Series — and could care less about baseball. The principal once called our parents because he thought it was weird that we were reading "Mom, The Wolfman and Me" during recess instead of playing kickball. (And that factoid, surely, wi...
Five Tiny Tidbits On: The Philadelphia 76ers
It's hard to believe, but the NBA season is just around the corner. So come with us now as we present five tiny tidbits on each team, just to get you in the mood. Today we continue with the Atlantic Division, so do us a favor and send your tips to [email protected]....
Deadspin Field Trip: The Rainy (Original) Game 4
As we might have mentioned, we originally had Game 4 tickets, and we sat out in the rain for two hours, freezing, waiting for MLB to put us out of our misery and cancel the game. We had been considering this a dreadful, cursed occurrence, until last night made our Game 4 tickets potential clinchers....
Would You Like Claws With That?
Todd Haley is the receivers coach for the Dallas Cowboys, which means, as is, his life is pretty much terrible. He also doesn't have much time to cook, since he apparently only takes his family out for McDonald's. That's bad enough, but even worse when they McSalad has a huge freaking rat in it....
World Series Blogdome: Detroit at St. Louis, Game 4

One Ridiculously Lucky Night In St. Louis
It seems silly to say this now, but had the Cardinals not come back and won last night's Game 4 against Detroit, it's difficult to imagine them winning this series. Not only would it send the home field back to Detroit, and not only would it put St. Louis in an extremely tough pitching position, but...

What you missed while battling the infamous Professor Poopypants ... • World Series: Outfield pratfall leads to 5-4 Cardinals win, 3-1 series lead over Tigers. • MLB: Bruce Bochy packs belongings, heads north on I-5 to sign with Giants. Padres fans unsure which team comes out ahead. • NHL: Oh, nothi...
Oh. Tigers Fans. Honestly, We're Sorry.
On a night when Every. Single. Break. went the Cardinals' way, on a night when Tigers fans had to have been ripping out their eyebrows, on a night when the Cardinals' spikes were made of diamonds and the Tigers' were made of Vasoline ... the Cardinals have taken a 3-1 lead in the World Series and ar...
At Last, Game 4 Is Here (Probably)
Well, from all accounts on the ground, looks like we might get ourselves a little bit of baseball tonight. We are dried off, showered, rested and ready for Game 4, in which the Cardinals could throttle the Series around the neck level, or the Tigers could tie it up and make for a rather insanely str...
If You Were Wondering, Yes, It's Still No Longer Raining In St. Louis
A legitimate question: Is this World Series ever going to end? We're not saying that we find it boring, because we (obviously) don't. It's just that the weather is bad bad bad; biblical bad, worse than last night's rainout. The forecast says a 50 percent chance of rain around game time, with incre...
The Yearly John Rocker Award
Few baseball fans hate quite as well as fans of the New York Mets. They do it with panache, style, pure vitriol and hard-won experience. Yankees and Red Sox fans are almost too hated themselves to hate with much authority, and other teams' fans are just too nice. (Exception: Phillies fans, whose bli...
Match Your Hair Band To Your Oriole
Stepping in the Chevy Cobalt Transport To The Land Of Collective Experience — we like to try this from time to time — we present you this rockin' video from an up-and-coming band called Starship, which, apropos of nothing, decided to litter their video for "It's Not Over (Till It's Over)" with mid-8...

Let Them Buy Gear
If you ever need a vivid example of the disconnect between the people who run the games we watch and us, the people who spend the money that allows them to do it, just try paying nearly $200 bucks for a World Series game that's in a rain delay....

Sakic reaches 1,500-point mark as his Avalanche lose to Capitals 5-3. • Tennis: As you no doubt have heard by now, Robby Ginepri beat Gilles Simon of France, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (5), in the first round of t...
