How Did Tony La Russa Cost The Cardinals The Game This Time?
A masterpiece of overmanaging in the bottom of the eighth, with two position changes, three pitching changes and an intentional walk that would come around to score the winning run. David Schoenfield has more, but the bottom line is that John Mozeliak should probably decline the option to expand the...
Tom Brady Doesn't Need Wide Receivers To Pass For Hundreds Of Yards
Tom Brady and the New England offense destroyed fantasy football dreams across the nation last night.

Everyone can relax: Joe Barry Carroll is back in our lives.

The bar maintains that we live in...
Celebrating Serena Williams, Tennis Traditionalist
Serena Williams revived an old tradition in tennis in Flushing last night. She said some petty things to the chair umpire because she was angry and because she wanted to win—and because when you are not winning in a sport as lonely as tennis, there is only one person you can blame that is not yourse...

A Brief Dispatch From Las Vegas On The Occasion Of The Jets Beating The Cowboys On 9/11

A lone Jets fan sitting in front—a desiccated New Yorker given to periodic bursts of yelping and fist-pumping. You know the type. All coiled...

Things got better on Friday for Bartolo Colon, the Yankees' veteran starter and living parable. Yet things also got no better.

Help Us Finish "The Snydering" (Our Satirical, Non-Libelous Dan Snyder Group Fiction)
As you may have heard, Dan Snyder's dumbass libel suit against the Washington City Paper is no more. Which means we will no longer be posting a daily link to the story that so enraged Snyder (and which he failed to read).
