San Jose Earthquakes Keeper David Bingham Walks Off A Blow To The Head

Vin Scully Call Of 5.1 Quake Proves He Can Get Us Through Any Disaster

Eckersley And Canseco Nearly Fought After The World Series Earthquake
Grantland has a fantastic and extensive oral history of 1989's earthquake-interrupted World Series, which includes memories from players, fans, politicians, and reporters.

It was a feisty match tonight at Jeld-Wen as the Timbers pulled out a 1-0 win over San Jose thanks to a blistering Will Johnson free kick that's as good as any we've seen in MLS this season. It was Portland's best revenge after Earthquakes forward Alan Gordon appeared to deliver a gay slur in Johns...
The "Icing The Kicker" Menace Has Spread To MLS
On Sunday, the Red Bulls found a new way to lose a game. (I don't know if MLS keeps that record, but New York surely owns it.) In the 90th minute of a 1-1 match at San Jose, Red Bulls defender Roy Miller was whistled for a handball, and 2012 leading scorer Chris Wondolowski lined up for a penalty ki...
Deadspin's Sign of the Apocalypse
It was with no small degree of concern that Deadspin noted the lack of a Sign of the Apocalypse in this week's Sports Illustrated.

David Beckham Goes Nuts, Kicks Balls At Referee, Starts Shit With Opposing Team's Mascot

Here's Video Of MLB.com's Fantasy 411 Guys Coming To Grips With The Earthquake
Thanks to the chaps over at BroBible for sending this footage of MLB Network's Jeremy Brisiel, Cory Schwartz, and Mike Siano at the moment their studio started shaking Tuesday afternoon.

The Ravens' Torrey Smith, In The Safest Place Imaginable, Ran For His Life When The Earthquake Hit
Smith, the Ravens' second-round draft pick out of Maryland, was doing a UM commercial when the earth moved. Owings Mills is 120 miles as the crow raven flies from the epicenter of the quake, so we're sure it was intense. We're also sure that a wide open football field is precisely the safest place...
MLS Proves Soccer Superiority Over EPL With Fluke Goalkeeper Goal
When a mid-table American side takes on a mid-table English side in a friendly, you throw out the record books.

Don Landrigan, who blogs about the L.A. Lakers at With-Malice.com, lives with his family on the southernmost of Japan's main islands.
