Notes from a day in baseball ......
Leftovers: Do Not Anger The Canadian
• The U.S. ambassador to Canada says hockey isn't the best sport. Man, the Canadians are pissed now! [National Post] • The St. Louis Blues have a new owner. And he's a buddy of Jim Dolan. AWESOME. [St. Louis Post-Dispatch] • A surprisingly funny Brewers commercial with Derrick Turnbow. [Brewers.com]...
Looking At This Year's Draft ... Four Years From Now
Excellent conceit from excellent Golden State Warriors blog today: A look at what we'll be saying about upcoming NBA Draft prospects in 2010....
Oregon Ducks Continue To Assault The Pupils
We've never had the inherent fascination with sports uniforms that some folks have — it is, after all, laundry — but we couldn't help but note the new Oregon Ducks football uniforms, which they call "the next step in uniform development," which we suppose is true if that step involves playing footba...
The Deal With The TRL Thing
Back when we announced the sale of the "You're With Me, Leather" T-shirts, we promised a free post for whichever reader was able to feature the shirt on national television. But we — obviously — never dreamed it would be the host of TRL....
Leftovers: Careful Of Nolan's Cattle
• Someone stole Nolan Ryan's cows. What? Did we read that right? [TMZ] • Bernie Kosar says he was a little wacky as a husband, but not a druggie. So you know. [Newsnet5] • Keith Hernandez, Mr. Hip! [Out Of Left Field] • It's drunk athletes as "The A Team," we think. [Gheorghe: The Blog]...
The Faces Of Champions
That's right, folks, the wait is over: Antoine Walker, Shandon Anderson and Michael Doleac are finally champions....
Heat Win First-Ever Title, And Even Cuban's Classy About It
Even though their apparently show their loyalty by dressing up like Klan members — even when they're not actually at the arena in which the games are being played, like in this picture — and even though they don't have an owner whose brain is always on the verge of a noisy (and always smart and en...
And Without Any Further Blowups ... Game 6
Difficult to add much more to everything else that's out there: It's Game 6, the Heat are a game away from winning the NBA Title, Mark Cuban is $250,000 lighter and downright dog-nutty, Dwyane Wade getting his legend on and the referrees looking over their shoulders, making sure no one's got a shi...
Leftovers: Anna The Author
• Anna Benson is writing a book. We assume it will be written in deer's blood. [GalleyCat] • Uh, is Jim Otto out of his mind? Actually, yeah: He pretty obviously is. [The Hater Nation] • To buy Dr. J's house ... you have to buy another house? [The 700 Level] • Jack Kemp, still not a soccer fan. [Tow...
Maurice Drew Doesn't Hate Your Nerd Ass That Much After All
If case you didn't remember, former UCLA running back (and now Jacksonville Jaguars rookie) Maurice Drew had been implicated in the Los Angeles Denny's incident in which Bears safety Ricky Manning and pals beat up a guy for using a laptop. (We're sure this happens to Cuban all the time.)...
When A Stranger Calls
Gotta love Steeler Nation. Not only did they drag out portable grills during a curbside vigil/cookout for Ben Roethlisberger's seven-hour surgery at a Pittsburgh hospital, but now it seems that some of them are threatening the woman who was driving the car involved in the accident. The woman has rec...

Howard's Boner (Or, Why Refs Are A Natural Male Enhancement)
Another reason that it would have been more fun to live in the early 1900s rather than now — also on the list: speakeasies, jalopies, no Internet — is the fact that they used the word "boner" to describe embarrassing mental missteps. We wish this were still true today; we'd have Buckner's boner, W...
Phil Mickelson Resumes Being Phil Mickelson
After a couple of major wins, Phil Mickelson let go of a stranglehold he had on the U.S. Open and collapsed on the 18th hole today at Winged Foot. Lefty's train wreck handed the victory to Australian Geoff Ogilvy, a guy who's not real well-known outside of the small group of habitual Golf Channel vi...
Heat/Mavs Game Five: The Lack Of Stack
