Live Playoff Blog: Padres Vs. Cardinals, Game 2
All right, so after doing this live blog of a Cardinals game thing on Tuesday, it's pretty clear now that our hearts can't take it.

Your NCAA Mister Congeniality

9-4-2-2 DP? 2 U? 9-4-2 DP? What's The Frequency, Kenneth?
We might be the only person on earth who cares about this, but earlier, we wondered aloud how in the world a scorer — if you were, ahem, the type of dork who brings a scorebook to baseball games — would possibly handle that bizarre "double-play" during the Mets-Dodgers game. 2 Unassisted? 9-4-2? 9...

Live Playoff Blog: Yankees Vs. Tigers, Game 2
Seriously, we can't imagine a worse rainout scenario for fans than this one: Rather than a late-night Wednesday game, you have a Thursday game at 1 p.m. Imagine being at the game last night, at 9:30, thinking it might start, then learning they've cancelled it and you have about 13 hours to get home ...

Eric Byrnes Showed Up To The Set On Time, At Least
All right, so we understand that it's kind of cool to be able to active athletes on your studio preview shows during the postseason, because they're not playing anymore and don't have much to do.

Time To Get Your Taste Of Lasorda Love
In case you haven't been paying attention, a very old man is demanding that you cancel your plans this weekend to stay home and watch the baseball playoffs. It's Tommy Lasorda, of course.

The Playoffs Are Already Wearing Us Out
We personally know four people who stood in the rain at Yankee Stadium for two-plus hours last night, with it not even raining particularly hard, only to learn that there would be no game. That's particularly unpleasant because it was rescheduled for today at 1 p.m., and it's a lot easier to make an...
