Fox Needs To Update Their St. Louis Stock Footage, As Last Night's NLCS Closing Shot Featured A "Go Pujols" Sign
As Fox ended its broadcast of a much-delayed ending to last night's NLCS Game 3, a curious thing seemed to scroll across the gaudy videoboard atop the Lumière Place casino: "GO PUJOLS." While it's possible the person in charge of such messages never learned of the slugger's exit from the Cardinals ...

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.

Derek Jeter Fractures Ankle, Is Done For Season, And The Yankees Lose Anyway
After a four-run ninth-inning rally to force extras, the Yankees disappointed a sparse crowd in the Bronx by dropping the ALCS Game 1 to the Tigers 6-4 in 12 innings.

OK, Seriously, What The Hell Just Happened: The Cardinals Are Headed To The NLCS
Let's set aside the fact that the Nationals had the best record in baseball this year and the fact that the Cardinals had the worst record of any playoff team, because neither of those is the fundamental reason we ask this question: what the hell just happened? The Cardinals—the Pujols-less Cardina...
Nationals Buoyed By Fans' "Magical" A-Ha Singalongs To "Take On Me"—And Tonight's Was The Best Yet
As noted earlier this week, Michael Morse's walkup music choice of a-ha's "Take On Me" has become a rallying cry for "Natitude." The intensity of the singing has increased as the series has gone on, and tonight's eighth-inning rendition was truly a sight to see. Er, hear. [TBS]...

Joba Chamberlain Left Tonight's Game After Getting Nailed By A Flying Bat Shard
Well, here's another odd chapter in the continuing career of Yankees pitcher Joba Chamberlain.

"Now I Know What Chicks Feel Like," Tim Lincecum Responds After Being "Hit In The Fucking Face With A Fucking Cork"

Reds Catcher Ryan Hanigan Couldn't Bear To Watch Buster Posey's Grand Slam
Today's decisive NLDS Game 5 between the Giants and Reds became decisive a little earlier than Cincinnati would care for, as Buster Posey's fifth-inning grand slam gave San Francisco a 6-0 lead with the Reds finding their offense unable to do much against Matt Cain (at least until that point; they'...
Is South Carolina Hypnotizing Opponents With "Gay Techno Glow-Stick Music?"
South Carolina has had to scrap on the road this year, but has looked nigh-unbeatable at Williams-Brice, including spanking Georgia this past weekend.

When Raul Ibanez was brought in to pinch-hit for Alex Rodriguez in the ninth inning, it seemed humorous—until Ibanez hit the first 9th-inning, game-tying, pinch-hit home run in Yankees postseason history. But when he hit another home run, this time to win the ballgame in the bottom of the 12th, it w...
