Where My Team Stands: Philadelphia Phillies
I haven't eaten all day, just quietly sitting here watching the time go by, reveling in the moment before something inevitably goes wrong.

Marathon Runner Blows Away Field, Receives Bright And Shiny Piece Of Nothing
Foot races are the oldest form of athletic competition there is and even after 4,000 years or so the premise remains the same: Point A to Point B, who ever gets there first wins. Unless you're at the Nike Women's Marathon in San Francisco, a race that Arien O'Connell foolishly assumed she's won, sim...
Help Us, Baseball, You're Our Only Hope
We have reason to believe that this (or something similar) will be the opening teaser that will greet baseball fans as they tune into the Fox broadcast tonight.

So Rick Telander Meets Jay Mariotti Sweaty and Nude...
The long-standing feud between former Chicago Sun-Times columnist Jay Mariotti and current CST columnist Rick Telander has been well-publicized and generated notoriety given its potential for violence.

Your Final 2008 Serving Of Red Sox Fail
And so with the World Series about to begin, we say our final goodbyes to Red Sox Nation, and I can think of no clearer metaphor for their season than this.

Today's Bible Lesson: Girls Can't Play Football
There may be nothing in the rulebook that says a mule can't play football, but there's another rule book out there that apparently does say something about girls not being place kickers.

World Series Preview: Rays Vs. Phillies
The World Series is truly my favorite week of the year. Having the World Series going on is an excuse that gets you out of anything, every year.

Browns Suspend Kellen Winslow For Defending His Testicles
Can a team suspend a player for defending his own nether region? It appears that's exactly what the Cleveland Browns are doing with Kellen Winslow, and excuse me if I call them on their bullshit.
