Your NL East "Preview"
We should probably warn you: The Phillies are one of those teams we pick to win the National League East a lot. If you haven't noticed, they haven't won the NL East in a long, long time. But we're gonna try again anyway....
Gus Johnson: Get On The Dance Floor!
Because the NCAA Tournament is never quite the same once Gus Johnson leaves — a week earlier this year, dammit — someone who knows how to use that audio software on your computer that we never understand has put together a Gus Johnson remix, featuring some of his greatest moments set to one of them ...
Your AL Central "Preview"
Everyone says it's the toughest division in baseball, but we think it's just the mostly hotly contested: You could pretty much interchange any of those top four teams and not sounds like a fool. But those Royals ......

There's More Than One Way To Skin A Softball Player
This, friends, is the College of Southern Idaho softball team and their VERY clever slogan this year. CSI — wee! — is a tiny junior college with an incredibly innovative way of promoting its players. They ask them if they're "shaven or unshaven."...
What's Eating Zack Greinke?
Last year, the mystery depression that clouded the mind of Royals pitcher Zack Greinke confounded teammates, coaches and fans. The man Baseball Prospectus once called "the future of pitching" was off the map. He has been in spring training this year and has even won a spot in the Royals' rotation, n...
The Real, True Story Of Pac Man
We're mostly wary of little sketch comedy gimmicks online, but we have to say, we did enjoy this video reimagining of the circumstances of Pac Man Jones' life and times. They go for the obvious joke, from the beginning ... but that doesn't change the fact that the image of a big puffy yellow Pac Man...

More Fun With Joakim Noah
Because Saturday's Final Four matchup between Florida and UCLA is a rematch of last year's national championship game, some bad blood is still stewing, or boiling, or whatever bad blood does, and UCLA fans are wanting revenge. And how does today fan fire himself for revenge? Funny PhotoShops!...

One More Look At That Sheed Shot
So we know we just wrote about this in the NBA roundup, and that you've probably seen it on "SportsCenter" or somewhere else already, but, frankly, we just want to have it on our site: Here's Rasheed Wallace's batshit crazy 60-footer last night....
NBA Roundup: Bombs Away!

Roll On, Eighteen Wheeler, Roll On
We're actually big fans of the huge semi trucks that college football teams use to transport all their equipment from game-to-game; when we went to the Rutgers-Illinois game this year, we actually waved to the guy driving the Illini truck. Illinois had lost 33-0, and he grouchily nodded back. At lea...
Somebody Was Too Blasted To Pitch In A Meaningless Game
So you remember that whole All-Star game travesty from five years ago — yes, it has been five years now, which is kind of amazing — when they had to call the All-Star Game a tie because everyone was out of pitchers? (That game is the reason the American League has freaking home-field advantage every...

From A Rote Tourney Comes A Thrilling Final Four
Of all the little traditions of college basketball, our favorite might be the cutting down of the nets. It's something unique to the game of basketball; in other sports, it's the fans who cause the on-field destruction after a victory. (And we're damn good at it too.) We do always worry a little abo...
We've Got Our Four
I asked for a game that would be close at the end, and technically, I didn't really get it. Overtime, as it turned out, was a time for beating some Tarheel ass. Georgetown trailed the entire game, managed to tie it up on a late Jonathan Wallace three, and then Carolina just decided they didn't feel...
