J.D. Is No Longer A Scrub

In The Words Of Boston's Generation, "UP... YOURS!"
"J.D. Drew hit a grand slam." That line speaks such volumes of how off Fausto Carmona was last night, that it usually saves sports columnists 600 words and gets people home earlier to spend quality time with the family. J.D. Drew had been making beat writers work overtime all season, now he's finall...
The Only Way A Sock Will Factor Into Game 6
As you might hear about 100,000,000 million times on the television tonight, Game 6 of the 2004 ALCS was Schilling's "bloody sock" game. And wouldn't you know, he's starting this year's Game 6 as well tonight, against the Lord of the Flies, Fausto Carmona....
Steinbrenner and Isiah Share A Secret Gay Lover (Allegedly)
I was about to go on this long rant about how ESPN keeps discussing the New York Yankees throughout the ALCS, but as soon as I saw the latest Jonathan Lee Riches lawsuit on The Smoking Gun, I quickly retracted my sentiments.

When The Floor Sinks, You've Made A Bad Purchase
We know that NBA players often move around a lot, but Allen Iverson just took it to an extreme: He bought a place in Atlanta and moved his whole family out in 60 days....
ESPN: We Don't Want No Trouble
ESPN's new comment section, ESPN Conversation, has been an endless source of entertainment for us, and you as well, we suspect.

At Least Two More Days Of Life In The ALCS
We find it telling that, the day after Josh Beckett once again saved the proverbial Red Sox hide, everyone was still talking about Manny Ramirez.
