Thirsty Thursday Is Really All About The Kids
What's coming up in the world of minor league baseball ... we proudly present you with Rick Chandler's Minor Enterprise!...
Wait ... That Was HIM?
• Craig Sager was one of the guys who was chasing Hank Aaron around the field after he hit his homer. We feel very stupid for not having known this. [Awful Announcing] • They're trying to put an "NJ" in the Rutgers logo. [Lion In Oil] • In honor of the great Destiny Frankenstein. [Name Of The Year] ...
Interleague Play Is Back, If Anybody Notices Anymore
We've never had a major problem with interleague play. It's possible this is because our Cardinals get to play the Royals six times a year — and boy could we use the help — but mostly, it's because the game has been so twisted and pretzeled over the last decade that, hey, what's one more switch? Peo...
If Lastings Milledge Has Offended Any Of You Hos, He Apologizes
A while back we recorded the saga of the Mets' Lastings Milledge, whose new rap song, Bend Ya Knees, not only failed to capture the imagination of America's youth, but also angered his baseball employers. Milledge apologized on Thursday, probably ruining his street cred among all Triple-A/hip hop fa...

We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 11 a.m. Fantasy League injuries: So are these real injuries, or ones we make up? • Noon. NBA with Chris Sheridan: Yeah, that Western Conference Finals party you're planning? If it's Jazz-Spurs, I'll be too dead to attend. • 3 p.m. AFL ...
Naked People Are Funny
Nothing beats a good streaker, kids, particularly when it's a Philadelphia streaker. And we're not particularly envious of that usher either....
They Just Don't Make Mennonites The Way They Used To
So, yeah, this Floyd Landis business. Heavens....
How Sad Is Ben Wallace Today, Really?
It was a nice little hope for a while, some sort of jolt of life into a lagging, pallid Eastern Conference playoffs, but now that the Pistons have advanced past the Bulls and set up a presumably smooth trip past whatever "team" collapses forward enough to win the Cavs-Nets series, we're back to our ...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while figuring out how to spend your Schrute bucks ... • NBA: All right people, move along, show's over. Nothing more to see here. Pistons 95, Bulls 85. • MLB: Eric Hinske (!), Julian Tavarez (!!) lead Red Sox doubleheader sweep. • NHL: OK people, gather 'round, plenty to see here. S...
Looks Like Another Pistons NBA Finals
OK, so maybe the Bulls can't pull this off....
Can The Bulls Pull This Off?
It's really quite wild how much can change over two playoff games. After the Bulls' depressing, limp Game 3 loss at home, everyone was writing about how they should blow up the Bulls, how they should have traded for Pau Gasol, how they were too young, how Ben Wallace had no heart. And now, after two...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch while trying to figure out why Young Nahamkin is older than Old Nahamkin ... • MLB: Atlanta at Washington; Chicago Cubs at New York Mets. Bobby Cox and Lou Piniella smolder in their respective dugouts like dormant volcanoes. [WGN] • NBA: Eastern Conference semifinals, Detroit at Chicag...
Whatever Brings The Fans In From All The Great Weather
We appreciate that the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, lacking that whole "fanbase" thing, are trying unconventional ways to rile up some local support. But no mascot, not even Raymond, should ever have to wear this outfit....
Two Great Tastes ...
• We are enjoying the Neal Pollack-Paul Shirley danceoff. [Slate] • Get Alex Brown out of Chicago. [Foul Balls] • Even Aaron Boone is pissed at David Stern. [Sportech] • Scoop Jackson, finger on the pulse. [The Feed] • Ned Yost knows how to argue with an umpire. [I Dislike Your Favorite Team] • The ...
The Return Of Tecmo Bowl
We don't know how we missed this piece of news yesterday, but The Fanhouse has the scoop: They're bringing back Tecmo Bowl!...
His Next Job Will Be To Take Over For Stu Jackson
This spry gentleman's name is Bill Hargrove — he's the round immobile object between the orange ball and the red ball — and he just bowled his age. You might not find this all that impressive, though we find it difficult to bowl our age, ourselves. (We are not a skilled bowler.) But readers, smile, ...
Bill Simmons Is Ready For His Closeup
This week has been when the television networks all release their plans for next fall, called "upfronts," letting the media know what they'll be rotting viewers brains with for the next calendar year. ESPN is no different; Tuesday, they announced their plans for late 2007, and they're clearly taking...
