Last Night's Rain Delay Was Called One Out Before The Cardinals Had To Stop Selling Beer
When Shane Robinson grounded out to give the Cardinals a 3-1 lead, with two outs in the seventh, it was raining. Raining hard. Raining hard enough to call the game? Raining harder than in the previous at-bat? Raining not quite as hard as it would for the next batter, when crew chief Gary Darling cal...
Some Of Kevin Kolb's Ribs Are No Longer Attached To His Sternum
Well, this puts Kolb squarely atop the Most Horrifying NFL Injury Of The Season leader board, doesn't it? Having your ribs detached from your sternum sounds like one of the most awful things that could ever happen, and I'm not confident that doctors even know how to reattach a man's ribs to his ste...
Your Cardinals-Giants Open Thread
Game 2 of the NLCS is tonight, and this is the spot to talk about the game with all of your internet friends while the action unfolds.

Jeter-less Yankees And McCarver Doing "Who's On First" By Himself: Your Championship Series Open Thread
It's the Tigers in the Bronx again at 4:00 p.m. on TBS, in a series that has so far been essentially bereft of story lines, and robbed of any dramatic potential. Oh here's a story line—why are there so many fat guys on the Tigers? The Cardinals play the Giants in game one of their series at 8:00 p....
OK, Seriously, What The Hell Just Happened: The Cardinals Are Headed To The NLCS
Let's set aside the fact that the Nationals had the best record in baseball this year and the fact that the Cardinals had the worst record of any playoff team, because neither of those is the fundamental reason we ask this question: what the hell just happened? The Cardinals—the Pujols-less Cardina...
Your Orioles-Yankees And Nationals-Cardinals Open Thread
Get excited! We've got two elimination games slated for today, as both series have come down to a Game 5. Will the Orioles continue their unlikely run through the postseason? Will Natitude prevail? Will Alex Rodriguez overdose on sleeping pills in the dugout?...
Bud Selig's New, Random Postseason Knows The Soul Of Baseball Better Than You Think
Out of the 22 playoff games in the first two rounds of the MLB playoffs, 12 have featured at least one team on the brink of elimination, and six of those will have been sudden death for both teams. Bud Selig's new postseason format puts a lot more weight on single games, which has led many players, ...
Jayson Werth Hits A Walk-Off Home Run, Flashes Some Natitude
Natitude lives! The Nationals faced elimination in today's game, but thanks to a strong pitching performance from Ross Detwiler and the bullpen, followed up by some late-game heroics from Jayson Werth, they are set to take on the Cardinals in a decisive Game 5 tomorrow....
Bob Brenly Doesn't Understand How The Earth's Rotation Works
If there is one thing baseball announcers love talking about, it's shadows. "Boy I tell ya, these shadows are going to play havoc on the hitters this afternoon!" Given how much the shadows get talked about, you'd think most announcers would have a solid understanding of how the earth's rotation wo...
Your MLB Playoffs Open Thread
There are two more division series games for you to watch today, and this is the place to contribute your trenchant baseball analysis and dick jokes while you do so. The Nats and Cardinals have already started their game, and the Orioles will be taking on the Yankees at 8:07 p.m. EDT....
Did TBS Crap Out On You During The Playoffs? Blame The Sun.
Ah, the sun. Giver of life. Grower of crops. Sworn enemy of the MLB Playoffs on TBS. For Cardinals fans watching their team begin a championship defense, and for Nationals fans watching their first playoff game ever, yesterday's broadcast was a frustrating one. On multiple occasions, TBS's feed froz...
Division Series Yak-Athon: Your MLB Playoffs Open Thread
All day October baseball! At 12:07, the A's—who took a punch from the Tigers in chilly Detroit last night—have a chance to even the series. At 3:07, the Nationals get their first look at the postseason since the franchise was—holy shit, since 1981? Woah. 6:07, Orioles-Yankees, in what's sure to be a...
<em>USA Today</em> Just Couldn't Wait To Troll Braves Fans And Everyone Else About That Call Last Night
Like the call that handed the Seahawks the win over the Packers two Mondays ago, the ruling in the Braves-Cardinals death match was complex enough to trip up the layman. The call on Golden Tate's "touchdown" could, if you squinted, have been justified based on a slippery understanding of the concept...
The Rosters For The Wild-Card Deathmatch Games Are Pretty Wacky
Big baseball games coming your way: Cardinals-Braves right now, and Rangers-Orioles at 8:37 p.m. Both air on TBS, if they're not preempted by whatever Tyler Perry show was originally scheduled. These games will, if all goes according to plan, excite you. But they may also be wacky and long!...
Tom Brady Says, "Fuck You, Bitches," And The Bengals Win Gangnam Style: Your Sunday NFL GIF Roundup
This is where we'll be stashing the best GIFs from Week 4—from Percy Harvin returning a kickoff for the first touchdown of the day to, in all likelihood, Michael Vick breaking a rib. The day is done, except for the Eagles and Giants, so let's take a look at what this week had to offer. ...
Michael Morse Ran The Bases Backwards, Swung With No Bat, And Re-Ran The Bases Forwards Tonight
I'll get you up to speed, so you can just skip all the official review in between: First inning, bases loaded in Busch Stadium for Michael Morse. He hits a long fly ball which bounces off the top of the outfield wall, hits the Energizer ad behind the wall, and comes back into the outfield. The ball ...
Los Angeles Got Its Football Stadium, Now It Just Needs A Team
Reuters reported yesterday that the Los Angeles City Council approved a plan that would put a $1.2 billion football stadium in downtown L.A. called by 2016. Called "Farmer's Field", the stadium will be adjacent to the Staples Center, potentially threatening L.A. Live's status as one of our most und...
The Bears Were less Offensively Inept Than The Rams, In One GIF
Chicago 23, St. Louis 6: If I knew how to make a GIF of myself falling asleep, I would have. The Rams managed to scoring zero touchdowns and the Chicago offense could only muster one. The rest were field goals and a defensive interception returned for a touchdown. Between the two quarterbacks, they ...
