Via Bar Stool Sports — and we're slightly late on this — we learn that American Jewish Life Magazine (not edited by David Hirshey) makes the solid case that all Jews should love the Red Sox and hate the Yankees....
We Welcome Sam Woods To The Planet
A few months back, our own AJ Daulerio wondered what Tiger Woods would name his impending child. Sadly, Tiger did not go with "Urethra;" instead he went with the boring Sam Alexis Woods. SAW. We suppose it's better than ASS....
We Like The Way He Talks And He Likes The Way We Talk, Mmm Hmm
With the news yesterday that running back Quincy Wilson has become the 10th Cincinnati Bengal to be arrested in the past 14 months, we now need the measured, no-nonsense sports commentary of Kige Ramsey more than ever.

The Pirates Mascot Loves The Onion Rings
It can be difficult to keep the fans entertained at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, so they've tried a new technique: reenacting already historic television scenes. We might not know the official ending, but we know how it really ends: The Pirates lose....

What you missed while playing the German version of Wii Hole In One golf ... wait, what did it say on the screen? • MLB: Giants lose (we didn't even have to type that; just "right-click," "paste," as usual). • College baseball: Ward, I'm worried about the Beavers ... OSU's 12-6 win over Arizona Stat...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch after posting bail for God ... • MLB: Boston at Atlanta. This just doesn't seem right somehow. [ESPN] • Arena Football: Chicago at Colorado. Kyle Moore-Brown has been in the AFL for 13 years? That seems like a very long time. [ESPN2] • College baseball: World Series, Arizona State vs. ...

Farewell And Adieu To You Fair Spanish Ladies
Just in case David Beckham has any ideas about sticking around in Europe, Tom Cruise and wife Katie Holmes were on hand to make sure that he gets on that plane for LA. Sunday's farewell game was a magical moment for Beckham's rooting section (that's Victoria toting Imp Spice next to the Cruises), as...
Why Would The Orioles Ever Need To Make A Change?
We don't mean to imply that it might be a tough time for Cubs fans, but now their executives are jumping ship to the Orioles....

Surely, President Bush's Favorite Day Of The Year
Occasionally, when President Bush meets a sports team that has won a title, it means something. When the Red Sox visited after winning the World Series in 2004, not only was it a historic victory, but it also allowed Curt Schilling — who had campaigned heavily for Bush after the Red Sox won — to rec...

It's Good To Have A Golf Champion Actually Look Like A Golfer
Like most casual golf fans in America, we spent most of the day yesterday away from the television but curious if Tiger Woods was going to win the U.S. Open. A victory by anyone else would elicit a shrug; a victory by Tiger would somehow matter more, as if we're enough of an expert in golf to unders...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while entertaining your octopus ... • MLB: They've got the blues ... Padres 11, Cubs 3. • Golf: Today Tiger Woods, tomorrow the Falklands! Angel Cabrera wins U.S. Open. • Tennis: Shazam, Andy! Roddick wins fourth Queen's Club title....
Ah, Screw Birdies
If you got points for impressive pars, it would've been Tiger Woods' day ... but the man couldn't squeeze a birdie out of his Sunday round to save his life. Angel Cabrera, who shot a very impressive 69, is your winner. Oh well. I'm sure he has a dad, too....
