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?...

Jacqueline Gagne Is As Good At Commenting As She Is At Golf
This woman is Jacqueline Gagne, and, according to her, she hit nine hole-in-ones in 16 months. This is what the kids call "impossible," and the outstanding Dave Kindred, in an epic piece for Golf Digest, completely debunks all her Tall Tales. But the story does not end there....
Gamblers Can Finally Take a Deep Breath
New England was up ten when they went for it on 4th and Goal late in the game. For someone like me, with fair amount of money invested in a 17 point spread (or 16.5 if you were lucky), this is where things got nutty. Just as it looked that Cleveland would run out the clock (if Romeo can't win he can...

Not Safe At Home, But, Please, Don't Give Us Instant Replay
We're still all a-twitter about that amazing Rockies win over the Padres last night; it's rather difficult to be more dramatic than a three-run comeback in the bottom of the 13th inning with the whole season on the line. Oh, and there's controversy too!...
He Didn't Touch The Plate, But Hey: Thus, It Goes
We are not sure if that was a home run in the early innings or not — we think it probably was — but we know that he was not safe at home plate. At a certain level, we can't help but think it was a back-up-I-don't-want-any-trouble call from the home plate umpire, Tim McClellan. He knew the runner did...
Rockies-Padres, For A Trip To Philadelphia!
It is not often the eyes of baseball fans are focused on Coors Field in Colorado, but in about 20 minutes, that's exactly where they'll be. We couldn't be more excited....
Rocky Mountain High (In Colorado)
As Tuco said when he got the drop on Clint Eastwood in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, "There are two kinds of spurs, my friend. Those that come in by the door [crosses himself], and those that come in by the window." The Rockies came in the latter way, beating the Diamondbacks 4-3 on Sunday to forc...

Phillies Just Sank Mets' Jengajam
As most of you have already seen, Tom Glavine's outing today didn't last too long — maybe he was double parked? — as the Florida Marlins lit up Mr. 300 with seven runs in the first inning en-route to an 8-1 win. With that, they needed Philadelphia to lose and force a tie. They've been counting on Ph...
Your National League Clusterphooey
All due respect to the playoffs next week, but we can't fathom a much more exciting turkeyshoot than the National League this weekend. We're three days away from the end of the season, and not a single team has clinched, with seven still in the chase. It's insane....

You're Responsible For The Death Of Tradition
We have not played golf in five years; we pretty much only play at bachelor parties, which is why people always make fun of us at bachelor parties. (This is not the only reason.) But when we do play, we're Charles Bronson in The Great Escape: We're digging tunnels....
Love (And The NL Wild Card) Is A Battlefield
This photo is from Sunday, but it tells you all you need to know about the Padres right now. Milton Bradley being helped off the field, his season ended due to injury after a run-in with an umpire. San Diego had already lost center fielder Mike Cameron to an injury, meaning that two-thirds of their...
Pat White Has A Special Friend
West Virginia quarterback Pat White would seem like the guy who has everything. NFL-ready talent — we guess — a spot on one of college football's best team and, you know, he's kind of handsome, if you're into that sort of thing. But the guy just wants more....
Ow! My Playoff Chances!
Has a major league player ever before been injured after he was ejected from a game? Come on Elias Sports Bureau, make yourselves useful for once! Milton Bradley may be headed to the DL because of an umpire, he says. It was manager Bud Black who grabbed Bradley and spun him to the ground, preventing...

ESPN Wisely Addresses Its HR Department
