Just Another Day At Comerica Park For Justin Verlander
Notes from a day in baseball:...
Gary Sheffield Is Full Of Opinions
As we sift through the carnage of yet another Gary Sheffield interview — and the accompanying brilliant Dugout reaction — we take a look back at the quotable career of Gary Sheffield. 100 Percent Injury Rate has compiled some of Gary's greatest hits throughout the years. Here are a few of our favori...
Gary Sheffield Will Rip The Lid Off Of It
For "aggressive actions directed at umpire Greg Gibson," Detroit Tigers DH Gary Sheffield was suspended for three games. Sheff broke his bat, and then threw the handle down ... somewhere. He says he threw it towards the dugout, Major League Baseball says he threw it at the ump....
Call This "A Warning Sign"
Because there's little more amusing than a crazed fan unleashed on YouTube, we introduce you to "Kitney2Furrey," a Tigers booster who has been posting pretty much every day during the season. We are so glad we didn't watch the World Series with this guy last year. Not only would we have been blinded...
Joel Zumaya Is Just Like The Undertaker
Sometimes we forget that the men we watch and obsess over on the baseball diamond are mostly children themselves, not just in age, but in a state of perpetual arrested development. They are gleeful imps, lucky to be allowed to frolic for a living....
Your AL Central "Preview"
Everyone says it's the toughest division in baseball, but we think it's just the mostly hotly contested: You could pretty much interchange any of those top four teams and not sounds like a fool. But those Royals ......
Baseball Season Preview: Detroit Tigers
You might remember, from back at the beginning of the NFL season, when we previewed each team by having a writer we liked write about their favorite team....
Joel Zumaya Puts His Life In Rock's Hands
Remember in the American League Championship Series, when flamethrowing, red-eyeballed righthander Joel Zumaya was sidelined with a "right wrist and forearm inflammation?" It turned out not to matter, because the Tigers blitzed the A's in four games, but had there been some tighter games late, it co...
Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In
Okay, listen up, douchebags: I don't like you and you don't like me. But thanks to some of the sloppiest play we've seen in World Series baseball since the Marlins beat the Indians we're stuck with each other for the next twelve posts. My name is Balk, and I'm an editor over there at Gawker, a site ...
Deadspin Field Trip: Cardinals Win The World Series
As we might have mentioned once or twice, we were at Busch Stadium to watch our beloved St. Louis Cardinals win their 10th World Series on Friday night. It is obviously a rare and lovely thing for anyone to have the opportunity to watch their team clinch a championship, and we were blessed by the ...
Ain't No Love In The Loo
As many have pointed out already, the World Series didn't just decide who the 2006 champion was; it apparently established the most dangerous city in America. If the national anthem singers at Busch Stadium are to be trusted, this shouldn't be too much of a surprise. The nasty turf wars between Bill...
We Have Sought Bliss, And We Have Found It
We know. We know it wasn't the most exciting World Series for everyone to watch. It was sloppy, it was short, it was interrupted by a rainout, it had no Pujols-off-Lidge or Roberts-stealing-second moments. If you were anything other than a fan of the St. Louis Cardinals, it was anything but a memo...
Cardinals. World Series Champions. Holy Crap.
This, friends, pretty much sums it up. This was David Eckstein, and this was us. This is us now, actually....
The Last Night At Busch, One Way Or The Other
There's still a possibility of rain, so we might not have a game until tomorrow. But if there IS a game tonight — and the odds are in favor of it — we highly encourage you to hang out here, as you have the other games of the World Series, to rather brilliant effect, if we may say so. More than 1,000...
Twenty Four Years Isn't 1918 or 1908 ... But It's A Pretty Long Time
In 1982, we were six years old — we turned seven during the World Series — and could care less about baseball. The principal once called our parents because he thought it was weird that we were reading "Mom, The Wolfman and Me" during recess instead of playing kickball. (And that factoid, surely, wi...
Deadspin Field Trip: The Rainy (Original) Game 4
As we might have mentioned, we originally had Game 4 tickets, and we sat out in the rain for two hours, freezing, waiting for MLB to put us out of our misery and cancel the game. We had been considering this a dreadful, cursed occurrence, until last night made our Game 4 tickets potential clinchers....
World Series Blogdome: Detroit at St. Louis, Game 4
Scanning the blogs following the Cardinals' 5-4 win over the Tigers in Game 4 ......
One Ridiculously Lucky Night In St. Louis
It seems silly to say this now, but had the Cardinals not come back and won last night's Game 4 against Detroit, it's difficult to imagine them winning this series. Not only would it send the home field back to Detroit, and not only would it put St. Louis in an extremely tough pitching position, but...
Oh. Tigers Fans. Honestly, We're Sorry.
On a night when Every. Single. Break. went the Cardinals' way, on a night when Tigers fans had to have been ripping out their eyebrows, on a night when the Cardinals' spikes were made of diamonds and the Tigers' were made of Vasoline ... the Cardinals have taken a 3-1 lead in the World Series and ar...
At Last, Game 4 Is Here (Probably)
Well, from all accounts on the ground, looks like we might get ourselves a little bit of baseball tonight. We are dried off, showered, rested and ready for Game 4, in which the Cardinals could throttle the Series around the neck level, or the Tigers could tie it up and make for a rather insanely str...
