South Carolina Fan Arrested For Mooning The Crowd At LSU Game
You do get the feeling that Saturday night's game would have been extra-frustrating for a Gamecocks fan who traveled all the way from South Carolina only to watch his No. 3 team get upset in Baton Rouge. So that explains, but does not excuse, the actions of Charles Hattaway, a 34-year-old from Charl...
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....
Oakland A's Fan Mistakes Prince Fielder's Son For A Girl, Family Chews Him Out
According to the YouTube uploader, this all went down at Game 5 in Oakland. It's unclear why this A's fan, who may or may not be inebriated, was talking to the Fielder family but at some point a woman who looks strikingly like Prince Fielder's wife starts chewing him out for calling her son a girl....
The Yankees Lose Captain Luck
Somehow the Yankees lost last night, even though Raul Ibanez had tied yet another game with yet another ninth inning home run, and the loss was not even the worst thing that happened. Derek Jeter is done. Twenty-four hours ago I could not have imagined how deflating it would be, even if you'd laid o...
Here's The Insane Suplex An Alabama Defensive Lineman Laid On A Missouri Running Back
Missouri was basically running clock in the closing moments of its blowout loss to the Crimson Tide yesterday. After a 38-minute lighting delay in the second quarter—which came with Alabama already ahead 28-0—and a full day of getting pretty relentlessly pounded by both the weather and an Alabama ...
"Raul Can Definitely Lay Down The Pipe": Twitter Explains Ibanez
What cannot Raul Ibanez do? What situation cannot he handle? Of all the situations with the possibility of can, there is nothing he cannot....
Raul Ibanez Comes Through With A Game-Tying Home Run To Send Game One Of The ALCS Into Extra Innings
With fans filing out in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Yankees down to their last out, Raul Ibanez did what Raul Ibanez apparently does, hitting a game-tying home run to send the first game of the ALCS to extra innings. Jose Valverde had given up a two-run home run to Ichiro earlier in the i...
Good News, Everyone, A-Rod Is Back: Your ALCS Open Thread
Mr. October July? Rodriguez is back in the starting line-up (if you call "batting sixth" the starting line-up). Dog Fister and Andy Pettitte square off in chilly New York, and the ghosts of Orioles past will fly aimlessly through stadium, moaning resonantly and giving players from both sides the chi...
Justin Verlander And Kate Upton Are A "Good-Looking Pair," According To Justin Verlander's Grandfather
Say, did you hear the rumor that Tigers ace Justin Verlander is dating supermodel Kate Upton? Exciting stuff, no? Well, Celebuzz says it's true, and that "multiple family members"—Verlander's and Upton's grandfathers, to be exact—"have confirmed it."...
MLB.com Has Already Penciled In The Yankees For An ALCS Appearance
MLB.com, your unbiased hub for baseball news and overzealously blacked-out telecasts of out-of-market games! Also, your home for multiple TBS ads explaining that the ALCS will begin with Tigers-Yankees in the Bronx tomorrow night. This is as good a reason as any to install Adblock on your browsers. ...
Gene Chizik's Wife Went A Little Crazy On Facebook Yesterday
It's been a rough year for Gene Chizik's Auburn team, but things are about to turn around in a big way if Chizik's wife has anything to say about it. Yesterday, Jonna Chizik took to Facebook and posted the following inspirational(?) screed:...
This Depressing, Discarded Mound Of Plastic Tarps Is What Was Torn From Detroit's Locker Room After The A's Forced Game 5
It's not quite as dramatic as the stories we used to hear of ol' Jean Yawkey being wheeled toward the visitors' clubhouse at Shea Stadium in the waning moments of Game 6, but it does give a rare glimpse into what happens on the losing side of those epic playoff game collapses that keep the bubbly on...
Tiger Woods Apologized For Singlehandedly Losing The Ryder Cup
Despite the hyperbolic headline, Woods has come in for surprisingly little heat after a Ryder Cup the U.S. lost by one point, in which he went 0-3-1. Maybe it's because the outcome was decided before Tiger stepped up to the 18th tee on Sunday, maybe it's because there's plenty of blame to go around,...

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...
Auburn Wrests Title Of "Team Everyone Wants To Play" From Arkansas
Arkansas beat Auburn today, which in itself wouldn't be so strange except that as recently as this morning it was reasonable to ask whether Arkansas would ever win another game, ever, ever. The Hogs were a preseason top-10 team that lost f̶i̶v̶e̶ four games—in September. If someone was to cushion th...
Your Division Series Open Thread
Ai! Somehow this disappeared, no? There were comments, there was yakking—I'm very sorry. Won't happen again. As I said before—it's the A's in Detroit to face Verlander (who has already given up a run) and then Cueto vs. Cain in San Francisco at 9:37 p.m. We'll link back. Enjoy the games!...
Venezuelan Man Is Good At Baseball, BBC Is Shocked To Report
The BBC headline (above) describes Miguel Cabrera's triple crown in just about the most British way possible. Despite Venezuelans playing in Major League Baseball since 1939, and Venezuela's finishing ahead of the U.S. in the last World Baseball Classic, Cabrera still gets treated like a gold-medali...
How The Crazy-Ass AL Division Races Unfolded: Visualizing Momentum
The Athletics and the Yankees clinched their respective division titles on the same day, but the paths they took to get there were very different. The A's budget freight train slammed through a Rangers squad that had sat atop the AL West for over 170 consecutive days, while the Yankees barely edged ...
Will The Honey Badger Be Playing For LSU Next Season?
Tyrann Mathieu's suspension from LSU wasn't your average suspension. LSU announced their ruling in a mysterious, intentionally opaque press conference, and their reasons for waving goodbye to their best player were never fully divulged. Whatever the reason, the farewell seemed permanent: four days ...
