Manny Ramirez And His Jazz Hands
We're pretty pleased that the Yankees won last night, not because we love the Yankees, necessarily, but because we finally have a series with a sense of competitiveness. Not only were the other three series sweeps, they were dominations; the Red Sox-Angels series was the only one that a game with a...

What you missed while hunting the great white whale ... • MLB: Torre's execution delayed on appeal, thanks to Johnny Damon. Yankees 8, Indians 4. • NFL: Favre breaks another hallowed record, that you probably won't hear much about from Madden. Bears 27, Packers 20. • NHL: Well, at least something we...
The Los Angeles Angels of Sucktown
Well I was going to wait for this baseball game to end to call it a weekend, but I think it's safe to say that it's over. The Boston Red Sox have exploded with seven runs in the eighth inning to take a 9-0 lead. The only runs that really mattered were the back-to-back solo shots from Big Papi and C...
The First Few Rows May Get Bloody
This time it's Pac Man who's coming into the ring as a big favorite and he's carrying some additional baggage. Pacquiao began training with Freddie Roach a month late and in a different country than everyone expected. However the biggest questions being raised do not concern his conditioning. Instea...
Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 2
The early games are beginning to wrap up and to everyone's surprise things have gotten quite a bit more interesting out there. Miami has launched an admirable comeback on their former coach and fierce rivals from Chapel Hill and Michigan State is in a shootout with Northwestern, the baddest motherfu...
We're all set for another illuminating Saturday of the Hugh Johnson project. Erin Andrews is in Champaign and a guy named Juice is playing quarterback; the romance in the air is palpable. Send your thoughts, insights, comments, jokes, anecdotes to our screen name ncaa deadspin. Oh and don't forget t...
Raise Your Hands If You're the Boom King
One night, two games, and two walk off hits. Frankly I think we deserved this, these playoff games are longer than Drew's Jambaroo. Manny Ramirez answered my prayers (not for a Red Sox win, just for the sweet release of sleep) and ended the long night with a thrilling walk-off homer to break the 3-3...
About Last Night
What you missed while beginning to regret the return of Lyla Garrity... • MLB: Pronk delivers the winner extras. Is it possible that the Yankees have been cursed? Yes it is, more on this later. • CFB: Beating Louisville is the new black. Will will (awk-ward) now dress exclusively in Beating Louisvil...

I *Heart* Celtics has been following the Celtics' team trip to Italy and, mostly, chronicling some of the bizarre pictures coming out of the trip....
TBS Knows Baseball, But About That Frank Fellow
All told, we've been pretty impressed with TBS's playoffs coverage so far. Cal Ripken is shockingly candid, that lead-from-first graphic is kind of neat and they're generally restrained about matters. (Other than Dick Stockton's hair, that is.)...

Indians take ALDS opener 12-3 over Yankees. • College football: South Carolina beats Kentucky, sends Kige Ramsey into fit of rage. • NHL: Chris Drury now using his powers for good...
In Which Bonds And His Ex-Mistress Are Both Fully Exposed
As you may have heard by now, it seems that the November issue of Playboy has just about something for everyone. Six-page nude pictorial on ex-Barry Bonds mistress Kimberly Bell? Check. Bell's revelations about Bonds' steroid use, including eyewitness testimony concerning his shrunken testicles? Che...

Please, Anything But A Recount
The "votes" are "in," and the President of Red Sox Nation is ... oh, Jerry Remy. It's almost as if this whole thing was kind of dumb....
The Red Sox Are Feeling Awfully Good About Themselves
SI's Tom Verducci has an excellent rundown of just how dominant Josh Beckett was yesterday, and he was probably the biggest story yesterday: He made the Sox look like they were going to dominate the Angels like they did three years ago. That team has some swagger now. And that's all Red Sox fans ne...
About Last Night
What you missed while watching the film "Mr. Potato Head, Full Of Grace" ... • MLB: ALDS, No runs for you! Beckett baffles Angels 4-0 in Game 1. • NHL: Picking up where we left off. Red Wings 3, Ducks 2. • Tennis: News from Japan that doesn't involve anime or sumo wrestling ... Venus Williams advanc...
ALDS Game 1 Live Blog: Red Sox Vs. Angels
We close out the day with our second live blog, though we can't imagine there are any Red Sox fans who didn't start working at 5:30 a.m. today to make sure they got out of the office in time for this game. Surely, there are West Coasters stuck. So, to close us out, we pass the mic to Sarah Schorno, ...
TNT Is Thinking Ahead
In about two-and-a-half hours, the 2007 Major League Baseball postseason will begin. As you know, all games will be on TBS, which is why we have strange start times like 3 p.m. ET and 6:30 p.m. ET. We thought this would be a problem. But TBS is off to a good start....
Tom Brady Loves To Fly And It Shows
Tom Brady's offensive line is fierce in their devotion to him, and that includes, apparently, censoring the in-flight movies on flights to away games. No sooner had the movie begun on the Patriots' flight to Cincinnati last week than a moment during the opening credits proved a bit, um, awkward for ...
