Live Blog: Cardinals vs. Padres, Game 2
Hey, so, we feel your pain about being stuck at work while there's playoff games going on, so, like we have all week, we're are mere vessels to maximize your enjoyment. We'll be live-blogging Game 2 of the Cardinals-Padres series right here, down to the last pitch, as the Padres try to make this a...
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...

Live Blog: Braves vs. Astros, Game 1
If you're stuck at work at 4 p.m. ET or fortunate enough to live in a time zone that doesn't involve staying up past midnight just to watch a darned playoff baseball game, we're here to help. We'll be live-blogging Game One of the Atlanta Braves-Houston Astros game. We will do our best to appear m...
Macha Out As A's Manager
Just to show you the magical power of blogging, we are the first people on the Web to break the news that Ken Macha is leaving as manager of the Oakland Athletics. According to Peter Gammons, Macha wanted more money than general manager Smilin' Billy Beane wanted to pay, so he's now a "free agent....
Whose Fans Are The Worst? All Of Them!
Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer directs our attention to a column by poker dolt Norman Chad who, having decided that life just ain't worth it anymore, decides to rank the baseball playoff teams by their fans. Just a litany of insults all around, and hey, who doesn't like insults? A rundown:...
Playoffs Pants Party: Braves vs. Astros
As Astros blogger Crawfish Boxes points out, the general consensus about the Atlanta-Houston series is that the Astros should win going away. We understand this, somewhat — we begrudgingly picked the Astros to make the World Series, after all — but it seems awfully lopsided, considering the Braves...
Mark Cuban Is Totally Crushing, Yo
We continue to love that Mavericks owner Mark Cuban continues to blog about his team; checking in with him throughout the season is always one of our favorite NBA highlights. He files today's report from the Mavs' first practice, where he details new acquisition Doug Christie's sessions with a new...
Another Freaking GM Who Doesn't Need To Shave
Honestly, at some point, we're gonna end up seeing baseball owners sitting at the bedroom window of high school Strat-o-Matic games, wearing sun visors, peering through binoculars and feverishly scribbling in a notebook. After Rangers general manager John Hart resigned yesterday, the team hired 28...

What you missed while poking the Pillsbury Dough Boy a little too often and a little too vigorously ... • ALDS: Yankees' Mussina does his part to head off disaster that would be an Angels-Padres World Series. • NLDS: Jake Peavy discovers broken rib, Padres discover they're down 0-1 to Cardinals. • A...
Live Blog: White Sox vs. Red Sox, Game 1
If you're still stuck at work at 4 p.m., or if you're any further west yonder down the country, we are here to help. After a surprisingly stressful Cardinals-Padres live blog, we're back to do the same for the Red Sox and White Sox. Email us and let us know your thoughts....
Playoffs Pants Party: Angels vs. Yankees
This series will be fun to live in the New York City area during, because tonight's game will surely last past midnight, tomorrow's could last past 2 a.m. and Sunday, if a night game and if played, could turn every sports bar in the city into downtown Baghdad. Of all four divisional series, this i...
Those Racist Cubs Owners
Working presumably from ESPN Page 2 columnist Scoop Jackson's somewhat inexplicable column about racism and Cubs manager Dusty Baker earlier this season, satirical Onion-esque site SportsPickle "reports" that Cubs Management Unsure How To Fire Baker Without Exposing That They're Racists....
Playoffs Pants Party: White Sox vs. Red Sox
We know no one really remembers that the White Sox are actually in the playoffs, but we actually know some White Sox fans, so they do exist, apparently. Most people are giving this series to Boston, which seems odd, considering the White Sox had a better record, home-field advantage and more than,...

Bulls Wash Their Hands Of Curry
Well, the Chicago Bulls finally solved their Eddy Curry problem the way NBA executives like to solve problems: Trade him to the Knicks! Isiah Thomas will always take in your tired, your poor, your congenital heart defected. The Bulls receive wide-butt Michael Sweetney, occasional malcontent Tim Th...
