ALDS Game 2 Live Blog: Indians Vs. Yankees
Kind of a big game tonight for the Yanks; will it all destruct? It's Fausto Carmona for the Indians and Andy Pettitte for the Yankees. And your live blogger once again is the great Matt Sussman, who did an awfully bangup job yesterday. Enjoy his comedic stylings after the jump....
ALDS Game 1 Live Blog: Indians Vs. Yankees
The Phillies-Rockies series is half (or more) over, and the Yankees still haven't played. If they hadn't lost their spot as MLB's Prime Time Team to the Red Sox, we'd be waiting even longer. But here they are, facing an Indians team that's been underrated all season. It's C.C. Sabathia for the Indi...
NLDS Game 2 Live Blog: Phillies Vs. Rockies
You can't expect the Phillies' top stars to go hitless again, but it's clear that they're in some serious trouble if they lose this game. It's Franklin Morales for the Rockies and Kyle Kendrick for the Phillies, and if that doesn't scream Playoff Baseball, we don't know what does....
ALDS Game 1 Live Blog: Red Sox Vs. Angels
We close out the day with our second live blog, though we can't imagine there are any Red Sox fans who didn't start working at 5:30 a.m. today to make sure they got out of the office in time for this game. Surely, there are West Coasters stuck. So, to close us out, we pass the mic to Sarah Schorno, ...

You'd Think LeBron Would Be Accustomed To Being Surrounded By Nobodies
Like many of you since 1996, I missed Saturday Night Live last night, hosted by LeBron James, and have only the YouTubery offered up by NBC to go on. In this case, the monologue ("LeBronologue!" Oh, what whimsy!) was my favorite. There was also a High School Musical skit that had so much potential, ...

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!...

Vazquez Punishes Marquez While Diaz Retires Morales
Nobody thought that Israel Vazquez could be ready for his rematch against Rafael Marquez just five months after he took that battering. Freddie Roach, Vazquez's highly regarded trainer in that fight, declined to train him for the rematch if he was going to fight just four months after major surgery...
Lonny Baxter Does Not Trust The Postal System
One would think, after that whole firing weapons outside the White House thing, former Maryland "forward" Lonny Baxter would be careful with the transport of his weapons in the future. One would be wrong....
Gene Upshaw Is Smarter Than You Think
Say what you will about NFL players union chief Gene Upshaw — that he's an out-of-control, useless stooge who collapses under even the slightest bit of pressure from the NFL, which just waits for him to say something idiotic again — but you can't say he doesn't know how to take care of himself....
