A while back, we let you know about The Deadspin Midwest Pants Party, coming this May to U.S. Cellular Field. Well, this is the last week to get tickets, so we figured we'd remind you....

Camaraderie Is Fostered By Manchester United
Because we're in the mood to be kind of cheap today. Sometimes, circumstances collide to provide, in the midst of chaos, a rare moment of truth....
If Only This Policy Applied To Julian Tavarez
Note to Cincinnati Little Leaguers: You're good enough, you're smart enough, and doggone it, people like you. As we mentioned briefly last week, a new rule there for the upcoming season forbids any type of "negative chatter" during youth baseball games. To illustrate, we've made this chart....
Everybody Should Have A Nittany Lion At Their Party
Looks like when it's offseason at Penn State, it's pretty tough for the beloved JoePa to keep a firm grip on the ears of his players. Because some Nittany Lions could be in some serious trouble after a weekend altercation....
Joel Zumaya Is Just Like The Undertaker
Sometimes we forget that the men we watch and obsess over on the baseball diamond are mostly children themselves, not just in age, but in a state of perpetual arrested development. They are gleeful imps, lucky to be allowed to frolic for a living....

Your NL Central "Preview"
Look, guys: We didn't pick the Cardinals! (We still think they'll win the wild card.) Yes, our flirtation with the Brewers continues; we actually picked them to win the wild card at midseason last year. So there's that....
Seriously, You Should Be Very Honored, Mountainers
We'd like to congratulate the West Virginia Mountaineers on their NIT championship last night; that's something that can never be taken away from them. In fact, fans can buy the officially licensed T-shirt above. Truly, it's quite an honor....
Your AL Central "Preview"
Everyone says it's the toughest division in baseball, but we think it's just the mostly hotly contested: You could pretty much interchange any of those top four teams and not sounds like a fool. But those Royals ......

What's Eating Zack Greinke?
Last year, the mystery depression that clouded the mind of Royals pitcher Zack Greinke confounded teammates, coaches and fans. The man Baseball Prospectus once called "the future of pitching" was off the map. He has been in spring training this year and has even won a spot in the Royals' rotation, n...
The Real, True Story Of Pac Man
We're mostly wary of little sketch comedy gimmicks online, but we have to say, we did enjoy this video reimagining of the circumstances of Pac Man Jones' life and times. They go for the obvious joke, from the beginning ... but that doesn't change the fact that the image of a big puffy yellow Pac Man...
One More Look At That Sheed Shot
So we know we just wrote about this in the NBA roundup, and that you've probably seen it on "SportsCenter" or somewhere else already, but, frankly, we just want to have it on our site: Here's Rasheed Wallace's batshit crazy 60-footer last night....

Roll On, Eighteen Wheeler, Roll On
We're actually big fans of the huge semi trucks that college football teams use to transport all their equipment from game-to-game; when we went to the Rutgers-Illinois game this year, we actually waved to the guy driving the Illini truck. Illinois had lost 33-0, and he grouchily nodded back. At lea...
Lexington's Long National Nightmare Now Over
This just in: We'll try not to go all Politico / John Edwards on you here — for the record, we love that site, occasional big error aside — but we've received word from a TV station in Louisville and from another source that Kentucky fans desperate to rid themselves of Tubby Smith have had their wis...
