Those Seven Run 11th Innings Will Kill You
We are posting this just to prove to you that we actually stay up and watch all these games. We know it's a weekend. Skeets will be back with you tomorrow. But man: We are so glad we aren't one of those Red Sox fans who stayed up until 1:30 a.m. for that 11th inning. Heavens....

My Socks Are Bloody With Anticipation
I'm with Shanoff on this one: the Red Sox may have beat the snot out of C.C. and the Indians Friday, but, regardless of that outcome, the winner of Game 2 tonight — 8:21 pm EDT, FOX — will win this series. Well, that, and the difficult task of trying to beat God in the World Series....

Hugh II: The Nedyssey Continues ... Pt. Deux
The best college football game of the day might very well be happening in Canada. Yeah, you heard me. The Ontario University Athletics champs Ottawa Gee-Gees (6-0) are currently playing the Laurier Golden Hawks (also 6-0). Please stop laughing. Anyway, back to you; back to Hugh II ......

Hugh II: The Nedyssey Continues ...
OK, time to fire this baby up. I planned on grabbing a screen shot of Corso wearing that horse's head, but I couldn't find my damn camera. Oh well. ASU poon will have to do.

Big Bad Schaub Is An Inch Shorter Than Big Bad John
I couldn't possibly wait 'til tomorrow to post this. It just felt wrong, you know?

Groundskeeper Willy To The Rescue
Did I stay up late to watch Willy Taveras' amazing game-saving catch? No. Red Bull tends to give me the runs, not wings. But have I already watched it a few hundred times on SportsCenter this morning? You betcha! God is good, Christopher Llyod is great....


The Red Sox Look Like They've Been Here Before
So much for that Game 1 pitching duel we were promised. Josh Beckett threw six innings of four-hit ball to outpitch (and outbanjo) C.C. Sabathia as the Sox squashed the Indians 10-3. As Beckett rolled — even after giving up that early "wind-homer" to Hafner — Sabathia struggled from the get-go. The ...
