The San Francisco Giants Are Going To The World Series
The Giants trounced the Cardinals by a score of 9-0, completing an impressive comeback from a 3-1 series deficit and managing to kill the previously immortal St. Louis Cardinals.

Hunter Pence Had Three Hits On One Swing
OK, so technically that's impossible, but look at this thing! In the bottom of the third, as Hunter Pence's bat explodes in his hands, the ball makes its way down the barrel of the bat, hopping all the way like some kind of concussed bouncing Mickey Mouse head in a Sing-Along Song. Pence wound up w...
Your NLCS Game 7 Open Thread
There are not many words to describe a Game 7. "Awesome" would be a good place to start and finish. The Cardinals jumped out to a 3-1 series lead, riding whatever Tony LaRussa magic potion/moonshine he left in the office but the Giants have battled back to force this decisive game. Joe Buck and Tim...
The Steelers Faked An Injury To Stop The Clock
Midway through the fourth, with the Steelers up a score and on the edge of field goal range, Ben Roethlisberger was sacked.

Lil Wayne Sang "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" At Last Night's Cardinals-Giants Game
A lady in a ridiculous hat singing "God Bless America" wasn't the only crazy thing to happen during the seventh inning stretch last night. The San Francisco Giants also welcomed Lil Wayne onto the field, where he led the crowd in a less than rousing rendition of "Take Me Out To The Ballgame."...

The Chargers’ PR Director Writes A Bitchy Letter To Chargers Fans

When Jim Harbaugh Declined That Safety, He Swung About $75 Million In Bets
Let's get this out of the way first: 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh was absolutely right to decline a penalty resulting in a safety toward the end of his team's win over the Seahawks.

Russell Wilson Getting The Football Snapped Into His Ass Summed Up The Seahawks' Offense
San Francisco 13, Seattle 6: Oh, this was not for the faint of heart.

That victim, known to ...

Miller Lite, apparently, is running s...

Oracle Team USA, America's premier sailing team and one that's bankrolled by billionaire Larry Ellison, is the odds-on favorite to win the America's Cup title next September, but the crew hit a little snag Tuesday when their souped-up, super-expensive AC72 boat capsized in San Francisco Bay during...

Kobe's Motivational Speech To Alex Rodriguez: "You're Alex Rodriguez."
Alex Rodriguez isn't having fun sitting on the bench as the Yankees fight to reach the World Series (Well, maybe he's having some fun).

Josh Beckett Claims That A Pipeline Company Is About To Kill Some Ocelots, So He's Suing
An ocelot is a species of wild cat, and there are only about 50 of them left in the United States. Just thought we should get that out of the way, since a lot of you were probably wondering what the hell an ocelot is just now....
