Taking Down The Field Goal Posts: Woo Pig Sooey!
Arkansas 27, (2) Auburn 10. It's rare that upsets of this magnitude are ass-beatings, but there was little doubt about this one.

It's As If They Don't Like A-Rod In New York...
The Yankees/Tigers game is underway right now, and it's as if Joe Torre is already angling to make sure that any blame for their impending early exit from the playoffs is directed at Alex Rodriguez.

Live Playoff Blog: Twins Vs. A's, Game Three
Say what you will about this little postseason tournament, but we've learned one thing: When you're in the ALDS that doesn't feature the Yankees, you play a heckuva lot of day games. This is Game 3 of the A's-Twins series, and we've now live-blogged all three of them. We know these teams a little ...
Oh, It Never Rains In Southern California
"All right Chief, you're our last chance." That's Jack Nicholson in One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest, in which his character, Randall McMurphy, tries to urge a fellow insane asylum inmate to cast the deciding vote so that the ward can watch the Dodgers-Yankees World Series game on TV. That bid failed....

Live Playoff Blog: Padres Vs. Cardinals, Game 2

9-4-2-2 DP? 2 U? 9-4-2 DP? What's The Frequency, Kenneth?
We might be the only person on earth who cares about this, but earlier, we wondered aloud how in the world a scorer — if you were, ahem, the type of dork who brings a scorebook to baseball games — would possibly handle that bizarre "double-play" during the Mets-Dodgers game. 2 Unassisted? 9-4-2? 9...
No One Doesn't "Just Say No" More Than The Bengals

Live Playoff Blog: Yankees Vs. Tigers, Game 2
Seriously, we can't imagine a worse rainout scenario for fans than this one: Rather than a late-night Wednesday game, you have a Thursday game at 1 p.m. Imagine being at the game last night, at 9:30, thinking it might start, then learning they've cancelled it and you have about 13 hours to get home ...
