The Series That Could Bury The Yankees For Good
Notes from a day in baseball:...
Mr. Gourcuff Is A Team Player
It's been kind of a slow day (other than the hockey, which has been awesome ... so I'm told), so why not end things with a picture of a French guy who looks like he's about to go down on his AC Milan teammate. The official caption:...
Naked People Are Funny
Nothing beats a good streaker, kids, particularly when it's a Philadelphia streaker. And we're not particularly envious of that usher either....
About Last Night ...
What you missed while figuring out how to spend your Schrute bucks ... • NBA: All right people, move along, show's over. Nothing more to see here. Pistons 95, Bulls 85. • MLB: Eric Hinske (!), Julian Tavarez (!!) lead Red Sox doubleheader sweep. • NHL: OK people, gather 'round, plenty to see here. S...
Whatever Brings The Fans In From All The Great Weather
We appreciate that the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, lacking that whole "fanbase" thing, are trying unconventional ways to rile up some local support. But no mascot, not even Raymond, should ever have to wear this outfit....
The Return Of Tecmo Bowl
We don't know how we missed this piece of news yesterday, but The Fanhouse has the scoop: They're bringing back Tecmo Bowl!...
Bill Simmons Is Ready For His Closeup
This week has been when the television networks all release their plans for next fall, called "upfronts," letting the media know what they'll be rotting viewers brains with for the next calendar year. ESPN is no different; Tuesday, they announced their plans for late 2007, and they're clearly taking...
The E-Ticket Ride That Is Rangers-Devil Rays
Notes on a day in baseball:...
Lastings Milledge, Scaring All The White Mets Fans
In the annals of ridiculous Lastings Milledge photos, this one, from the New York Daily News blog, is a rather classic one: It's like if Outkast met Cliff Huxtable....
You Cannot Kill ESPN Mobile
Just when you thought it was safe to watch a television commercial again ......
Sophia Loren Antes Up A Couple Of Years Late
We are no strangers here to certain women who promise to remove certain clothing items if other certain things happen in the world of sports. Anyone who followed the SHOTY competition knows exactly what we mean. We get our hopes up and what happens? Heartache, nothing but heartache!...
Big Unit Is Back In Stock! (Please Allow 14 Business Days For Shipping)
Notes from a day in baseball:...
Baseball Players Are Athletes
Seriously, what happened to Antonio Alfonseca? He was always big, but ... wow. We suppose you can eat faster when you have six fingers....
Reintroducing Jack Cust
Anyone who has paid attention the world of sabermetrics and Baseball Prospectus over the last few years is probably familiar with Jack Cust. For years, he was that supposed slugging Colorado catcher we were all waiting to take over the National League, the guy we hoped no one else in our fantasy lea...
The Edge Of Wetness
The other day we reported on the glory that is Pee Your Pants For The Brewers, the site that wants you to pledge to pee your pants should Milwaukee win the NL Central (no fair buying pre-peed pants). In less than a week, an additional 1,644 people have vowed to wet themselves should the Brewers do t...
This Is A Little Hard To Believe, Even For The Orioles
Notes on a day in baseball:...
About Last Night...
• NBA Playoffs. Nets 96, Cavaliers 85. See Nets, you are allowed to rebound. • NHL Playoffs. Senators 4, Sabres 3. It was only a time before Joe Corvo left his imprint on this series. • NBA Playoffs. Spurs 108, Suns 101. The one time somebody does clock Manu Ginobili in the eye, he doesn't get the c...
Baron Davis Climbs Andrei Kirilenko
If you watch closely, you can see Andrei Kirilenko looking back at Baron Davis afterwards, as if to say, "You know, that really wasn't necessary." Even Adonal Foyle crinkled up his nose in a "Damn that was nasty," kind of a way. When Adonal Foyle acknowledges the nastiness, you know things just got ...
