This Morning, It Seems Like Everyone Is Named Carlos
As usual when we watch a playoff baseball game involving our beloved Cardinals, we spent the first four innings of last night's Mets-Cardinals NLCS Game 4 pacing around the room, muttering to ourselves, randomly spitting out expletives and all together looking like anything but someone engaging in a...
It Was Never Going To Be That Easy
If you'll forgive yet another reference ... that really escalated. We mean, that got out of hand fast....
Photons From The Sun Are What Makes This Whole Process Possible
That's Ohio State head football coach Jim Tressel explaining photosynthesis. Really. That's what it is. It is bizarre and surreal, but I can't deny that I learned something. You know what they say: the truly great teachers have a way of making you learn, even when it seems like you're just watching ...
Kirk Herbstreit Hates Your Funky Dance Moves
I promised you more Kirk Herbstreit vitriol, and here it is. During Thursday night's Virginia Tech/Boston College game, Herbie delights in verbally lighting up Virginia Tech linebacker Brenden Hill....
Live From Detroit...
The following words are from Ray Wert, associate editor with our homeboys Jalopnik. He likes Detroit, cars, and the Tigers... maybe even some combination of Eminem, Kid Rock, and Aretha Franklin. He was fortunate enough to be at the Tigers/A's game yesterday this photo gallery....
Perhaps This Could Have Waited
I realize that we probably shouldn't expect a lot of dignity from the New York Post, but... well, this is a bit much. The above cartoon ran in the New York Post yesterday, and while I haven't seen a ton of outrage about it, the person who sent in the tip says that several radio guys were freaking ...
One Series Almost Over, One Just Getting Started
For a while last night, it seemed like there was a pretty good chance that the Tigers/A's series would actually be over before the Mets/Cardinals game. The Cardinals posted a manly three-run ninth inning to finally win a 3-hour and 58-minute game that did not go into extra innings....
Week In Deadspin: What The Fungus??!!
• Jeez, lady, just hush already. • It was very sunny in Philadelphia last Sunday. • A tragedy in New York. • Soccer's Buckner. • Maybe the Vikings will spend their off week on a band bus. • Albert Pujols, enjoying the hometown product in a visually disturbing way. • So this is why Brett Favre won'...
It's The Vikings' Bye Week!

Ethan Albright Is In Fact Able To Walk Upright
As Madden 07 obsessives know, Washington Redskins lineman and ginger kid Ethan Albright is the lowest-rated player in the game, with a rating that barely gives him enough aptitude to stand up and walk in something resembling a straight line. We have wondered if Albright knows about this, or cares, a...

Everywhere One Looks, It's Beltran
Yesterday, we talked about the 2004 National League Championship Series between the Cardinals and Astros, and how it was the best series we had ever seen. We, stupidly, did not mention the words "Carlos Beltran," which was odd, considering the guy showed up in our nightmares for months afterwards. (...
All Right, Weaver, Put Down The Smokes And Let's Go
The weather reports appear to be clear as one could reasonably hope for this evening, so it looks like the Cardinals and Mets are finally going to kick off their NLCS, with Jeff Weaver taking on a now very rested Tom Glavine. Because of the rainout, the series is going with five games in five days, ...

What They Did On Their Day Off
Though the woman in this photo apparently didn't get the memo, anyone in the New York City area yesterday, when not preoccupied with planes coming out of the sky and Alec Baldwin all full of bustle, knew there wasn't going to be a NLCS game last night. It was pouring rain and was just getting wors...

The Post That Will Probably End Up Jinxing Them Again
Well, we know we're going to get yelled at for saying this, but we can't deny the facts, jack: The Tigers look like they're not gonna be beaten by anyone, in either league. Before the NLCS has even had a chance to start yet — more on this later — the Tigers have sucked the life out of the A's and th...
