Stalking Lloyd Carr
We are no experts in the field of stalking — really! — but as far as potential stalking targets go, we're not sure we'd include Michigan coach Lloyd Carr as a particularly targetable vessel for rage and frustration. Well, at least not this year....

Canvassing the blogs after Detroit's 8-5 win over Oakland in the ALCS:...
The Post That Will Probably End Up Jinxing Them Again
Well, we know we're going to get yelled at for saying this, but we can't deny the facts, jack: The Tigers look like they're not gonna be beaten by anyone, in either league. Before the NLCS has even had a chance to start yet — more on this later — the Tigers have sucked the life out of the A's and th...
The Long Wait Is Over (Probably)
We repeat our caveat: It's very possible tonight's Cardinals-Mets game is going to rain out. (Fortunately, you know, there's some other baseball tonight, just in case, and we think it's unlikely Oakland's gonna get a rainstorm.) But nevertheless, the NLCS is scheduled to begin tonight, with the vete...
Death Is Not An Option!
In a finding that should surprise no one who has every watched a sporting event, the American College of Emergency Physicians — every single organization in the country has a name that sounds fake, by the way — have discovered that male visits to the emergency room tend to increase directly after ...
Leftovers: All Hail Skipper!
• ESPN sure is a different place under John Skipper, and most people think it's an unquestionably positive one. (Hmm.) [Sports Business Journal] • This is probably what everyone should do with the Stanley Cup. [College Humor] • Some idiot yammering about the Cardinals. [Mets Blog] • Another ode to t...
The Biggest Games Of The Year ... On F/X?
Barring rainouts, tonight is the one night of the baseball postseason that features two games going on simultaneously. Depending on where you are, you'll be watching one series on FOX and the other on F/X. So if you're a Tigers fan living in New York City, for example, you either need to find your...
A Couple Of Expensive Six Packs
We are aware that it's very possible there's much more to come out about the story than has been released, but, taken at face value, the Connecticut football team is awfully strict about player discipline....
We Can't Imagine The Minnesota Candidates In 20 Years
We don't know much about politics over here, but one thing we do know: We want our Secretarys of State to have banged some Green Bay Packers....
Lawrence Phillips Hits Bottom, Is Sure He Can Go Lower
And so in the end, Lawrence Phillips leaves us the way we always knew he would: receiving up to 20 years in prison for running into three kids with his car after a pickup football game. The former Cornhuskers /Rams /Dolphins /49ers /Bobcats /Alouettes /Stampeders /Dragons running back was convicte...

Tracking the blogs the day after Game 1 of the ALCS:...
The Tigers Are Scaring The Pants Off Everybody
We'll confess: We're pretty much terrified of Tigers reliever Joel Zumaya. He's big, he's scary, he's got flaming red eyes and he throws about a million miles an hour. Actually, he can hit 103 miles per hour, which, when read by that FOX broadcast flame-for-pitches-over-95-mph thing, actually turns ...
Time For More Baseball Than You Know What To Do With
We know, as Cardinals fans, our occasional gripes and complaints can fall on deaf ears and perhaps even sound like whining, and the Detroit Tigers are Exhibit A as to why. We cannot possibly imagine how exciting having the Tigers in the ALCS must be. (And no offense to A's fans; we know you're in ra...

Hey, Anybody Hear Anything About Tiger Woods?
So, remember our Deadspin Pants Party Pick 'Em Pool? Well, hopefully you've been making your picks every week, because we're told we can give away some gifts....
ALCS Pants Party: A's Vs. Tigers
We are very proud to report that, ultimately, we did not jinx the Detroit Tigers, and here they are, four wins away from their first World Series in 22 years. (By the way, if you're keeping score, of the four teams left in the playoffs, the team that has gone the longest without a World Championsh...
What Could Possibly Go Wrong With This Idea?
Yahoo's Time Capsule Project begins today, in which people from around the world are encouraged "to submit text, images and video that reflect human nature" to be included in a message that will be beamed into space.
