Rays Win In 18, Set Stage For Wide-Open Wild Card Finish
I gave up on this game in the 16th. If only the Orioles were so sleepy, they could have been spared two further innings and grief.

Texas Tech Fan Horrified By Her Own Foul Mouth
Girl, don't sweat it. We've all been there. Sports make all of us lose our cool from time to time. Just try to remember what your mom, Judy, told you when she dropped you off at the dorms last week. Be safe, honey. And be nice!...
