From Buck O'Neil... to Chris Henry....
Buck O'Neil, Safe At Home
John Jordan "Buck" O'Neil, a star player in the Negro leagues, and recent proponent of Negro league history, died last night. No cause of death was given (though being 94 years old is probably a good enough), but O'Neil had been in and out of the hospital recently....
About Last Night...
• MLB: Yankees 0, Tigers 6. Kenny Rogers has a big unit of his own, evidently. • NHL: Boston 3, Florida 8. And Todd Bertuzzi racked up four points for Florida. Last night was a tremendous night for guys known for being douchebags. • NHL: Devils 4, Carolina 0. This is no way for a defending champion ...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch as stunned doctors conclude that you do, actually, have baseball fever ... • Boxing: Super middleweights, Jean Paul Mendy vs. Henry Buchanan; Anthony Hanshaw vs. LaFarrell "Memphis Fairway" Bunting, at Santa Ynez, Calif. That's his real nickname. Honest. [Showtime] • College football: ...
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 ...
There's Always Room For Tasing!
We've had some rather thorough discussions of tasering and its effectivness and proper dispersal. But we never thought we'd see it come up at a youth football game....
Cultural Oddsmaker: It's Christmas In Philly!
AJ Daulerio's Cultural Oddsmaker runs every Friday. Email him to let him know what you think....
Blogdome: Real Fans Accessorize
• You can't be a real Yankee Stadium bleacher creature without the right cufflinks. [copyranter] • Your first female minor leagues general manager. [Foul Balls] • JJ Redick loves him some Jenn Sterger. [The Sports Pulse] • Do you really want that much football — particularly the fictional kind — on ...
Your Friday Cross Dressing/She-Male Roundup
If you know us, you're familiar with our usual gripe: It's getting so that you can't stage a simple dragon-boat racing competition these days without someone breaking the rules by cross dressing. From Reuters:...
The Brave Soldiers Of The Smoking Gun
This here is Joe Morgan. No, obviously, not that Joe Morgan; this is Joe Morgan, an 18-year-old kid who was arrested with aggravated sexual abuse in Peoria, Illinois. He's part of The Smoking Gun's all-star lineup of mugshots of people with famous baseball players' names. Our favorite is Bobby Bon...
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • Noon. MLB with Keith Law: Pitching to Pujols — crazy, or insane? • 2 p.m. Predators' J.P. Dumont: Oh no, not another Mark Foley discussion. Oh, hockey. OK then. • 3 p.m. FFB injuries w/Will Carroll: How can every member of my team get ...
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....
About Last Night ...
What you missed while grooming your marmot ... • ALDS: A-Rod hears unfamilar booing as Tigers even the score. • NLDS: This Pujols fellow ... apparently somewhat talented. • NLDS: It's clobberin' time! Mets, Glavine put LA in 0-2 hole. • NHL: Penguins are undefeated king of the world!...
Well, Look Who's Back!
That's right, folks: You thought the beat slowed down, but with Clinton Portis, the beat just don't slow down....
To Watch Tonight
What to watch after an exhausting day hunting for The Farting Dissident ... • College football: Florida State at North Carolina State. So exciting, you might urinate in your knickers. [ESPN] • High school football: Longview (Texas) at Lufkin (Texas). Books? This school don't need no money for no dan...
Live Playoff Blog: Padres Vs. Cardinals, Game 2
All right, so after doing this live blog of a Cardinals game thing on Tuesday, it's pretty clear now that our hearts can't take it. It's difficult enough for us to survive watching these games; we can't actually be expected to type about them. Therefore, we're handing over the live-blogging chores t...
Your NCAA Mister Congeniality
We know that CBS Sportsline's Gregg Doyel has this little thing he does occasionally that he calls "Hate Mail." Essentially, like in this most recent incarnation, Doyel responds to angry emails he has received in the most taunting, borderline cruel manner. For example:...
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
For the Rob Gordons of the world out there, few experiences are more satisfying than sifting through old record bins. We once found that famous William Shatner car crash LSD record ... and that was just in our parents' basement....
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 ...
