Playoffs Pants Party: Padres Vs. Cardinals
We know there's absolutely no reason to believe the Cardinals belong here, and we know that the Red Sox, the Phillies and the Angels — teams that weren't particularly close to making the playoffs — all had better records. That doesn't mean we still can't be happier the Cardinals are here. October ...
Where My Team Stands: St. Louis Cardinals
If we've learned anything about Octobers the last few years, it's that the month tests, stretches and hones every aspect of loyalty fandom. Typically, we pretty much just tell our friends that we'll see them sometime in November. It's a stressful time....
Kids And Darts! What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
And so finally, we have the concept for the next Johnny Knoxville movie. The British Darts Organisation is campaigning for their sport to be included in the 2012 London Olympics; and to that end, they've opened the Darts School of Excellence in London. It's for for kids ages 7 to 18, as England atte...
How Close You Were, Dusty
Ah, such a rite of fall: The ritualistic execution of baseball managers. It always is a fun day, the day right after the baseball season ends, because managers just get picked off left and right. It's only a matter of time until Florida, bewilderingly, cans Joe Girardi, but we're gonna look at Cubs ...

John L. Smith Knows What You're Thinking
And he's acting accordingly:...
Grimsley Fingers Clemens, Pettite, Tejada
And not in a good way. The Los Angeles Times is reporting that Clemens, his good pal Andy Pettitte, and Miguel Tejada were among those accused of using performance-enhancers in the Jason Grimsley affidavit. Brian Roberts and Jay Gibbons, too. So much for Clemens getting through his career without ev...
About Last Night...
• College Football: Georgia 14, Ole Miss 9. Georgia pulls off the rare accomplishment of winning a game without actually playing a quarterback. • MLB: Astros 4, Braves 3. Andy Pettite tossed a gem to keep the Astros playoff hopes alive. And then his day took a turn for the worse... • MLB: Brewers 2,...
The Will Leitch Suicide Watch
If it's true that Will's got a bad feeling about the upcoming sports weekend, it's probably best that we monitor things, given the events of this past week. I mean, athletes are role models, and you never know how much influence a star wide receiver can have over an impressionable young blogger. N...
Pucker, Pucker, Pucker
When I first downloaded this clip and started to listen to it, I saw that it was over 15 minutes long, and I thought, "Eh, it's probably not worth it." And for a couple of minutes, it wasn't. And then this guy Michigan State radio guy begins the slow rapid descent into madness....
About Last Night...
• College Football: Rutgers 22, South Florida 20. It's going to be tragic when Rutgers goes undefeated and gets shut out of the BCS Championship game. • MLB: Padres 1, Diamondbacks 3. With one win, or one less from the Phillies, the Padres get in the playoffs. Neither of those things happened last n...
"You Jackin' It?"
Well, here it is: Carl Monday being bum-rushed on "The Daily Show." The segment is as entertaining as we could have hoped — we love Jason Jones' Monday-esque intro — and, we hope, succeeds in finally crossing Carl over to an America that will never, ever be ready for him....
