Bonds Brings Us Down, But Ankiel Lifts Us Up
• All the EPL you can handle. Remember to meet Mr. Hirshey this weekend for EPL opening weekend. • Bonds hit his damn homer already. • Rick Reilly ... shirtless! • It's always fun when Irish pick up prostitutes. • Remember to join the Deadspin Pants Party College Pick 'Em Pool. • Duck! Jay Mohr's ba...

David Beckham Actually Does What He's Paid To Do (For 20 Minutes, Anyway)
In all the hullabaloo of Rick Ankiel, John Daly and cockroaches crawling up Tony Romo's uniform, we almost forget the real story: David Beckham ran up and down a field for about 20 minutes!...
Drama At Shea Extends Over The Fence And Into The Clubhouse
Remember the old days in the NL East, when the Braves were pulling this crap on the Mets all the time? Willie Harris provided the heroics in the outfield and Chipper Jones the muscle in the clubhouse as Atlanta picked Mr. Met's pocket, 7-6. Harris leaped above the left-field fence to pull in Carlos ...
One Glorious Night At Busch
We're gonna get this out of the way first thing, so we can all move on with our days, OK? Thank you. So, Rick Ankiel....
Roy Hobbs Returns
We got into St. Louis just in time for Rick's homer. We were there for it. So yeah: It's been a pretty fun night. More tomorrow....
The Mariners Like 'Em Big
Ever wanted a six-foot doll of Raul Ibanez? Well, boy howdy, this could be your lucky day. As long as you have four figures to spend....
How To Make Golf More Fun
If you know anything about me, then you know that I have traditionally refused to do posts about streakers ... unless there is a humorous slogan written above their butt. This is a pretty good one (we also would have accepted "Captain's Choice"), and he also earns points for covering his genitals wi...
The MLS Is Expanding, With Or Without Beckham
David Beckham — or "Becks," as apparently people call him, though we've never actually met one of these people — could make his MLS debut tonight, maybe, for a few minutes, depending on whether or not he's feeling up to it. But no matter what's going on with Beckham, the league itself is moving forw...
Ankiel Gets The Call
He is the The Natural, he is Young Musial, he is the alpha, the omega, the beginning, the end. And, as of today, he is a member of the St. Louis Cardinals. Sources tell us that an announcement that Rick Ankiel has been called up to the big leagues is scheduled for later this afternoon/weekend....
Violation At The Bottom Of The Pile
In case you missed your weekly glance at the CFL transactions wire, Edmonton Eskimos linebacker A.J. Gass was suspended for one game after he threw an opponent's helmet across the field. (Mercifully, his head wasn't in it.)...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while reading the Iliad, and skipping the Odyssey ... • MLB: Cubs urge everyone not to panic; the helicopters will be here soon to evacuate the women and children. • Tennis: Nikolay Davydenko wins opener at Rogers Cup in a match that certainly was not fixed by organized crime. • WNBA...
Three Great Tastes That ... You Know, We're Gonna Stop There
We meant to post this yesterday but didn't get around to it. David Beckham visited the Yankees locker room on Monday; he was one of the she-male, muscular types A-Rod usually hangs with while in Toronto. For some reason — and we can't put our finger on why — but these pictures oddly remind us of th...
Barry Blogdome: Asterisk-esque!
What they're saying in Blogopolis about No. 756. We apologize for the use of that word, by the way. At least we didn't say "sphere."...
Yankees Fight For A Little Recognition
As New York continued to spit vitriol at Bonds (the Daily News came up with the gimmick of actually putting him on trial), it kind of forgot that the Yankees and Mets also played on Tuesday. In fact, the Yanks won; got into a scuffle with the Blue Jays, and crept to within five games of the Red Sox ...
In The End, You Don't Feel Nothing
By now, we've all pretty much made our peace with it, though there was a little part of us today that wanted to not mention Barry Bonds until about 4 p.m., and then throw up a "holy crap, did you guys see what happened last night? We just noticed" post. We felt that would be too gimmicky, though no...
Rick Reilly Gets Shirtless And Sweaty For His Art
Who's that handsome shirtless man sweating like Aaron Altman? Why, that's Sports Illustrated columnist Rick Reilly, who, in another of his wacky journalistic stunts, entered the World Sauna Championships in Finland this weekend....
