The Rockies Will Destroy All That You Hold Dear, Without Even Trying
You can go ahead and call this NLCS boring. The Colorado Rockies fans surely don't think so. It's a 3-0 lead, and the Rockies have now won a ridiculous 20 of their last 21 games. We don't understand anything anymore, not that anyone ever did....
Take Me Up To The Mile-High City
Now that was a solid sports weekend! Two playoff baseball games went to extra innings; Kentucky and Oregon State upset the top two teams in the nation; Midnight Madness kicked off; we've got the Pats and the 'Boys duking it out; there was probably a NASCAR crash in there somewhere ... action packed,...
ALCS Blogdome: Eric Gagne Is In Ur Bullpen ...
A look at what the Boston Red Sox Internets are saying following their 11-6 loss in extra innings to the Cleveland Indians in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series ......
Watch Jerry Rice Crank It, Watch Jerry Rice Roll ...
Watch Jerry Rice crank dat Soulja Boy, then Super Man dat ho! I have to admit, I was impressed at how quickly Rice seemed to pick up the steps. Maybe that Dancing With the Stars bull-shit was worth it after all. And hey, is Patrick Ewing Jr. a certified Soulja Boy dance instructor or something? I su...
My, That Looks Like A Delicious Sandwich ...
Look, I'm not one to ask questions. When a picture of Erin Andrews eating a sandwich shows up in my e-mail inbox, I post it. It's as simple as that, really. Now ... who's hungry?...
NCAA Blogdome: Wildcat ... Wild ... Cat... Pow
As much as I'd like to discuss yesterday's crazy college game, I fear I wouldn't do it any justice. I just can't get into the college athletics like you die-hards do. I blame my Canadianess. And my mom. But hey, let's see what the Internets are saying about Kentucky's 43-37 triple-overtime win over ...
Curse Of The Trotino?
The Curse of the Trotino was said to have begun after the Boston Red Sox let longtime outfielder Trot Nixon, never referred to as The Trotino, go to the Cleveland Indians. Yes? No? Too much? I'll stop....
Those Seven Run 11th Innings Will Kill You
We are posting this just to prove to you that we actually stay up and watch all these games. We know it's a weekend. Skeets will be back with you tomorrow. But man: We are so glad we aren't one of those Red Sox fans who stayed up until 1:30 a.m. for that 11th inning. Heavens....
My Socks Are Bloody With Anticipation
I'm with Shanoff on this one: the Red Sox may have beat the snot out of C.C. and the Indians Friday, but, regardless of that outcome, the winner of Game 2 tonight — 8:21 pm EDT, FOX — will win this series. Well, that, and the difficult task of trying to beat God in the World Series....
Groundskeeper Willy To The Rescue
Did I stay up late to watch Willy Taveras' amazing game-saving catch? No. Red Bull tends to give me the runs, not wings. But have I already watched it a few hundred times on SportsCenter this morning? You betcha! God is good, Christopher Llyod is great....
The Red Sox Look Like They've Been Here Before
So much for that Game 1 pitching duel we were promised. Josh Beckett threw six innings of four-hit ball to outpitch (and outbanjo) C.C. Sabathia as the Sox squashed the Indians 10-3. As Beckett rolled — even after giving up that early "wind-homer" to Hafner — Sabathia struggled from the get-go. The ...
ALCS Pants Party: Red Sox Vs. Indians
It is merely a warped factor of history that we might consider these teams somehow equivalent victims of fate. The Indians are "Major League;" the Red Sox are "Fever Pitch." This is not your fault, Red Sox fans, but the truth, nevertheless....
Jonathan Papelbon Is The Lord Of The Dance!
They've stolen me Lucky Charms! Just to get your ready for tonight's American League Championship Series game, we thought we'd show you this, from, I guess, when the Sox clinched the East. You may have already seen it, but it really cannot be emphasized enough. I can't quite put my finger on why, b...
Get Hammered With Lou Holtz
We're still rather amazed by Lou Holtz's magic trick, so perhaps that's clouding our judgment, but we're really starting to fall in love with Holtz's weekly "pep talks." They're bizarre, out-of-place and entirely self-contained, to the point that we find ourselves legitimately pepped! Fire us up, Lo...
MLB Slaps Sen. Dodd On The Wrist
The only way just about anyone we know would ever donate money to a Presidential candidate has turned out to be bunk: Major League Baseball says Chris Dodd's Game 6 ALCS tickets promotion is against baseball rules....
NLCS Blogdome: Rockies Clear First Hurdle
What they're saying out there in the ether about the Rockies' 5-1 win over the Diamondbacks in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series ......
Nobody Will Stop The Rampaging Monster That Is The Colorado Rockies
Whatever you think of the Diamondbacks' fan display last night — an embarrassment, an isolated incident, a roundabout way to recycle — we don't understand why anyone is considering it a response to a "controversial" play. It was not a controversial call; Justin Upton clearly brought up his arm to kn...
The Rockies Have Become Vaguely Ridiculous
We're not sure what the heck has happened to the Colorado Rockies in the last month, but they've now won 18 of 19 games. They dominated tonight, once again. It's probably God. We're not gonna question it: We're just gonna stand, jaw agape, and wonder, if they sweep the rest of the postseason, if th...
The Playoffs Are Back On, Finally
The last couple of days without baseball just felt interminable, didn't they? Two days off, in the middle of October? Inconceivable!...
