Dennis Miller Explains It All ... On Versus!
So Dennis Miller has a new show, which shouldn't surprise anyone; the scraggly bearded one tends to sample the dial these days like Lasorda at a wedding buffet. But you'll be happy to note that this time he's found a classy home: Versus! Nestled between Ultimate Cage Fighting and Pheasant Hunting, g...
The Islanders Love Those Cute Little Bloggers
You might remember when we told you about the New York Islanders' "revolutionary" Blog Box, in which "bloggers" were "credentialed" to "cover" the "hockey." (We're quote crazy today!)...
ALDS Game 4 Blogdome: Hello Indians, Goodbye Yankees
What they're saying out there in the ether about Cleveland's 6-4 win over New York that ousted the Yankees from the AL Playoffs ......
Nice Of The Indians To Show Up
It might have taken a while to discover it, but it turns out, the Yankees didn't just lose last night; the Indians — the other team, the ones in the darker jerseys — actually won. They weren't just there; they weren't just reacting to the Yankees. All told, they had a lot to do with the series win....
The Indians Make Joe Torre Sad
Clearly, Joe Torre did a terrible job managing tonight, and deserves to be fired. (Totally!) But that's tomorrow's news: Tonight, a congratulations to the Indians, an awfully exciting team that's gonna be a joy to watch against the Red Sox, starting this weekend. We can't wait....
To Watch Tonight
What to watch after trying, and failing, to beat our personal best of 4.00 ... • MLB: American League Division Series; Cleveland at New York Yankees, Game 4. Would someone tell the TBS site that they're showing the playoffs, and that the Braves aren't involved? [TBS] • NFL: Dallas at Buffalo. Ghost ...
Is This The Last Night For The Yankees We've Come To Know?
Fascinating proposition from Peter Abraham at the LoHud Yankees blog today: Have Bernie Williams throw out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium tonight. There's something perfect and symmetrical about it; in what could be Joe Torre's last game in The Bronx, having his equally popular pet toss out the f...
Roger Clemens Is Ready To Go Home Now
Roger Clemens walked off the mound for, presumably, the final time last night, because of a balky hamstring ... we suppose. Mostly it looked like a guy finally realizing he had nothing left except for, of course, $22 million....
One More Night For The Yankees
Forgive us for referencing our column again, but we can't quite get over how dead the Yankees looked in the third inning last night. Whatever your thoughts on George Steinbrenner's "ultimatum" — and we tend to think it's the rantings of a doddering old man who mistakenly let someone end with a noteb...
Don't Start Lending Joe Torre Money Just Yet
Thanks to Johnny Damon and Philip Hughes, the Yankees have given us all something to do Monday night. And we have one more Joe Torre-free night on the soup line. We might look for Roger Clemens there, though....
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...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch while wishing Friday Night Lights had been canceled... • College Football: Florida @ LSU. Is it time yet?[CBS] • Boxing: Super Featherweights Manny Pacquiao vs. Marco Antonio Barrera II. These aren't the little Tobey Maguire jockey-boxers, these guys throw absolute bombs. [HBO PPV] • B...
Let Isiah Thomas Manage The Phillies!
• Soccer players are manly. • Much genius happening on the ESPN Conversation boards. • Please do not make noise, fan. • Tom Brady is selective about his in-flight movies. • Good week for Isiah. • Get after it, football fans. • Somebody tag Holliday. • How to win a starting job. • Goodbye, Walt Jocke...
ALDS Game 2 Live Blog: Indians Vs. Yankees
Kind of a big game tonight for the Yanks; will it all destruct? It's Fausto Carmona for the Indians and Andy Pettitte for the Yankees. And your live blogger once again is the great Matt Sussman, who did an awfully bangup job yesterday. Enjoy his comedic stylings after the jump....
Yankees Lose! Ack! (Oh, And The Indians Were There Too)
We talked about this in our Times column this morning, but we repeat it here: Nobody handles losing worse than a Yankees fan. That's not meant to be a criticism; we wish we expected our teams to win more than we do. It's no fun, sometimes, waiting for the piano to land on your head....

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...
ALDS Game 1 Live Blog: Indians Vs. Yankees
The Phillies-Rockies series is half (or more) over, and the Yankees still haven't played. If they hadn't lost their spot as MLB's Prime Time Team to the Red Sox, we'd be waiting even longer. But here they are, facing an Indians team that's been underrated all season. It's C.C. Sabathia for the Indi...
Another Morning Times Column ... And It's Free This Time!
You might remember, back in March, when we wrote a daily column for NYTimes.com about the NCAA basketball tournament. Those columns ran back when they had TimesSelect over there, so you had to pay for them. Everything's free over there now, which means not only can you read the old ones, you can rea...
