The Post-Game Congratulations And Hand Jobs
We don't know who Annalisa Ellis — if that's her real name — is, but we have a feeling she's about to become very popular in the Boston area....
Arroyo Ready To Take Cincinnati By Storm
After an brutal spring so far — OK, he didn't really get rocked by a Little League team — rockin' righthander Bronson Arroyo was traded this morning to the Cincinnati Reds for outfielder Wily Mo Pena. We support this trade, for three major reasons....
That Probably Hurt...
Washington advanced to the Sweet 16 with a narrow 3-point victory over... you know what, there's a certain Deadspin editor who would probably rather that this game was never mentioned on this site. So I'm not going to say anything about, other than Washington's Brandon Roy is a stud. And, um... so...
Craig Smith, Hater Of Grizzlies
Immediately after my last post, Illinois and Texas A&M took it upon themselves to make me look like a jackass... not that that's particularly difficult. Illinois went on a 19-7 run and trails by just 2 at the half, while Texas A&M went on a 17-4 run to actually pull ahead of LSU....

Boston College Golden Eagles
1. All The News That Is Fit To Print. Think you're going out on a limb by picking BC as your dark horse? The New York Times already beat you to the punch. The Old Grey Lady picked BC to win it all back last fall. Good news since the Times' Midas Touch worked so well on past winners like John Kerry, ...
David Wells: More Fun Than Should Be Allowed
How great is it, honestly, to have David Wells around? We're almost sorry to see the Red Sox pitcher come back from that knee injury, because it means he'll be busy again. And we've learned that an idle David Wells is an entertaining David Wells — it's kind of like if Gary Busey all of a sudden sh...
Gilbert Arenas Can't Stop Shooting
Via Mr. Irrelevant, we present this picture of Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas, who had a rather nuts battle with Boston's Paul Pierce last night. (Pierce hit a game-winning shot at the buzzer.)...
Four Tiny Tidbits On: The Red Sox
We re less than a month from Opening Day, so it s time to start previewing the season. Inspired by an old feature on The Black Table, we re going team-by-team and distributing Four Things You Don t Know about them. If you have suggested oddities on your team, send them to us at [email protected]. ...
Yeah, Damon Back At Fenway Should Be Fun
A reader, calling himself (ominously) "the Hector Villanueva Posse," writes in from Boston to give us this photo of Johnny Damon memorabilia being drastically cut down in price in Boston....
Mo Vaughn, Still Pickin' 'Em Up And Settin' 'Em Down
We always liked former Red Sox first whaleman Mo Vaughn, if just because of his always-refreshing honest about where he spent his spare time: strip clubs. (We'll just say reporters always knew where to find him when they needed a quote.)...
Ah, the Joys of Baseball Trade Rumors
We're admittedly a little tingly about this rumored Abreu-for-Manny-for-Miggy scuttlebutt that's been tossed around, oh, the last couple months. As a Philly fan, it'd be easy to see the town completely embracing Ramirez. Granted, they'll get on him about that whole "hustle" thing, but the same com...
I Like It When You Call Me Big...Pansy?
Red Sox bohemoth David Ortiz appears to be enjoying his black catsuit and mothball ensemble a little too much. Ortiz is this year's cover boy for the MLB '06 video game. He also enjoys late night strolls along the beach, pottery class and snuggling next to the fireplace....
Manny Ramirez Mood Changes Again. Look, Again!
If you have the stomach for yet another Manny Ramirez update, apparently he told ESPNDeportes that he plans to say in Boston....
The Real Reason For Manny's Trade Demand
We've heard all the rumors too, and Red Sox blogger Sheriff Sully finally puts the cards on the table: One of the main reasons Manny Ramirez is seeking a trade from the Red Sox, say the rumors, because his wife wants him out of Boston because of "temptations of infidelity." Says the Sheriff Sully ...
Raef Lafrentz's Silent Dance
In the mood for some psychedelic hip-hop about the Boston Celtics? Who isn't? It's our lucky day....
"It's 20 Extra Bucks For A Happy Ending"
We run this unusually large photo of new Yankee center fielder/apparent masseuse Johnny Damon, recently shorn to play for the Bombers, because, well, because sometimes, Deadspin likes to pretend it's a snuff site....
Well, They're Handling This Well
In case you were wondering how Red Sox fans are dealing with Johnny Damon's exodus to the Yankees ......
Johnny Damon Is Still Gone
Just to be mean, the New York Post ran this photo illustration on its back page today, and we officially enter Day 2 of the Johnny Damon to the Yankees story: Acceptance. Red Sox fans are having trouble with the move, including one saying, "enjoy your corporate haircut, Johnny: You're dead to me."...
