It's Christmas In October
It's one of the happiest days in the blog world: It's the day after the Yankees were eliminated from the playoffs. As you would probably expect, the blog world has been chowing down this morning, as easily sports' most hated team lost last night to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Taking the bru...
Rich Arrogance vs. Whiny Petulance ... For The ALCS!
The players are going to be too tired to swing the bat, our brains are going to go into Rally Monkey overload and we'll be seeing Thunder Stix on our deathbed. But hey, we've still got ourselves a Game 5 tonight, and for that we should be most grateful. The Yankees put their "legacy" on the line,...
Playoff Roundup: We Warmed Up For The 19th

Playoffs Pants Party: Angels vs. Yankees
This series will be fun to live in the New York City area during, because tonight's game will surely last past midnight, tomorrow's could last past 2 a.m. and Sunday, if a night game and if played, could turn every sports bar in the city into downtown Baghdad. Of all four divisional series, this i...
MLB Playoffs: Second Verse, Same As The First
Yesterday was kind of a weird final day of the baseball season; it made us feel sorta dumb for thinking it was such a big deal that we missed most of the early football. The Red Sox "clinched" the wild-card yesterday in the least dramatic way possible, basking in a total choke by the Indians and s...

Just To Freak You The Hell Out
So, we have to say, if you're trying to get people talking about your alternative weekly, it's difficult to come up with much better than putting this picture on the front page. The Boston Weekly Dig is messing with a lot of Boston frat guy's minds — and New York construction guys — and that's jus...
We're Exhausted, And The Playoffs Aren't Even Here Yet
Despite what The Smoking Gun has discovered Major League Baseball thinks about the American League East, we appear primed for a final five days of rather intense pre-playoff madness. The Yankees and Red Sox are still tied, the Indians are tied with them too and the White Sox are still toying aroun...

Derek Jeter ... REVEALED! (Uh, by CBS.)
After its rather incomprehensible look at Miami Dolphins hemp advocate Ricky Williams last week, "60 Minutes" continues to scrape the filthy underbelly of the sports world with a cutting look at Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter. You won't believe the dirt they've uncovered. It's Derek Jeter LIKE YOU'...
