Playoff Blogdome: Tigers at Athletics, Game One
Tracking the blogs the day after Game 1 of the ALCS:...
The Tigers Are Scaring The Pants Off Everybody
We'll confess: We're pretty much terrified of Tigers reliever Joel Zumaya. He's big, he's scary, he's got flaming red eyes and he throws about a million miles an hour. Actually, he can hit 103 miles per hour, which, when read by that FOX broadcast flame-for-pitches-over-95-mph thing, actually turns ...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while taking your ferret to the DMV ... • MLB: ALCS, Game 1: Fools! No one can stop Brandon Inge! Tigers 5, Athletics 1. • NBA: Ha! We told you! NBA regular season creeps ever closer as Dwight Howard, Magic top Bobcats 107-90. And hey, Adam Morrison wasn't bad. He didn't cry either. ...
Time For More Baseball Than You Know What To Do With
We know, as Cardinals fans, our occasional gripes and complaints can fall on deaf ears and perhaps even sound like whining, and the Detroit Tigers are Exhibit A as to why. We cannot possibly imagine how exciting having the Tigers in the ALCS must be. (And no offense to A's fans; we know you're in ra...
ALCS Pants Party: A's Vs. Tigers
We are very proud to report that, ultimately, we did not jinx the Detroit Tigers, and here they are, four wins away from their first World Series in 22 years. (By the way, if you're keeping score, of the four teams left in the playoffs, the team that has gone the longest without a World Championsh...

Bless You Boys!
As the Detroit Tigers play the first ALCS game in 22 years tonight, we thought we'd dig up this old "Bless You Boys" video about the 1984 Tigers, the first non-Cardinals team we ever remember enjoying. It's fun and full of '80s kitsch, of course, but we particularly like the pop star cameo halfway t...
Steinbrenner's Agonizing "Decision"
We have trouble with the concept of "soul-searching" when it comes to George Steinbrenner — he seems to have a key ingredient missing — but evidently the Yankee owner did some heavy thinking over the past two days. According to the New York Post, Steinbrenner has apparently decided not to fire ma...

When Baseball Players Are Asked: 'You Have Haramph Like My Friend, Can I Touch?'
Like many of you, we suspect, we cannot wait for the new Borat movie, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. Therefore, we present this old Borat clip, as he visits a Savannah Sand Gnats minor league baseball game, with predictable results. No matter how...
Philadelphia's Day To Shine
On a day they'll talk about in Philadelphia for many years, the legendary lunatics that are Philly sports fans were in rare form yesterday for Terrell Owens' return to the city of liberty. These are our personal favorite four photos of the many we were sent....

Yet Another Reason To Hit Jeff Kent
That's a part deep inside all of us, we must admit, that wonders if athletes are secretly basing the outcomes of their games not on whether or not their team wins, but whether or not it affects their fantasy team. We've all thought it....
Recruiting Makes College Sports Double Plus Unfun
As a fan of college athletics, we will confess to being depressed by the process of recruiting. Some fans are obsessed with it, subscribing to scouting services and reading tea leaves, analyzing every vocal inflection of a 17-year-old kid as if it's going to be an insight to their deeper mindset. (T...
Obviously, Joe Torre Was The Problem All Along
And so there is much wailing and gnashing of teeth in Yankee Land, as you probably expected. Word on the street is that manager Joe Torre is as good as out, and that Lou Piniella — yow — is in. Seems rather rash to us, but what do we know? Only what we read in the papers ... and in various Yankees...
Albert Pujols, In A Proud And Photogenic Moment
We're as pleased as anyone by the Cardinals' series-clinching victory over the Mets Padres last night, but, honestly, they really shouldn't allow still cameras to take pictures of the postgame celebrations. They inevitably lead to photographs that are, well, uncomfortable to look at. (Though we appr...

The Happy Italian Vegetarian Lawyer Genius Elf
As we celebrate our Cardinals' advancement to the National League Championship Series, we are reminded once again, from this photo, that no one knows how to party like Tony LaRussa....
There Is Exactly One Detroit Tiger Whose Eyes Didn't Sting This Morning
And that would be Jason Grilli, the Detroit Tigers pitcher who at some point in his life probably earned a boy scout badge for being well-prepared. In the Tigers clubhouse celebration last night, Jason Grilli sported the goggles you see above, with battery-powered headlights and windshield wiper...
