The Cubs Will Have To Wait 'Til Next Year
The Cubs suffered a 3-1 loss last night, becoming the first team eliminated in the post-season and sending the Dodgers to the NLCS. Los Angeles pitcher Hiroki Kuroda held Chicago's offense at bay, throwing 6 1/3 innings and allowing no runs. The Cubs now get to shuffle home with the consolation of t...
It's Go Big Or Go Home For Brewers, Cubs
Tonight belongs to the National League as the Phillies and the Dodgers try to advance to the Championship series with one more win. I beg of both lagging teams, can we please have a Divison series go beyond 3 games? Just one, please? Show you care, dammit! And should the Phillies win, look out for D...
The NHL Season Is Here, All of Prague Rejoices
The NHL regular season starts today for a new year of blood and glory, fists and fury. (I'm such a freaking poet.) The league is abandoning its American following and fleeing to Prague to open the season with the Rangers and Lightning. What does it mean? It means unless you have the NHL network, you...
Boston and Tampa One Win Away From the ALCS
Ah, the post season. According to many, it's the only part of baseball worth watching. As a Yankees fan, I have to agree disagree agree oh fuck it. I don't even know anymore. What I do know is that it's fun to watch team like the Rays and Dodgers do well. And for the first time, I find my self enjoy...
The Dismantling Of Shea Commences ... But What Of The Kitties?
They've begun tearing down Shea Stadium, so hopefully that men's room sign you bid on at the auction will be arriving any day now. But some concerned citizens are worried that the stadium's notorious feral cat population may be left behind; they actually want the kitties relocated to the new park. ...

New Yorkers Taunted By Ironical TBS Signage
Anyone notice anything wrong with this gi-normous sign promoting the MLB playoffs on TBS? The banner is hanging on 7th Avenue in downtown New York, and features Josh Beckett of the Red Sox and, hmm, who is that other player exactly? Oh TBS, why do you mock them so? From the New York Post: ...
ALDS Preview: Rays Vs. White Sox
The Tampa Bay Rays are in the playoffs. Let it roll off your tongue. Toss it around. Swish it a bit. Look at the sentence closer. It might be a palindrome. The Tampa Bay Rays Are In The Playoffs. Everything's freaking NUTS, people. Series Schedule Game 1: Thursday, October 2, 2:30 p.m. Chicago (Vaz...
Watch Your Balls Around This Kid
Young Zack Hample, who scrounges for major league baseballs with the determination of a bear in a restaurant dumpster, has recorded rather a noteworthy feat; having caught the final Mets home run ball at Shea Stadium. This came on Sunday (Carlos Beltran), about a week after Hample had caught home ru...

Plaxico Burress Has Tardiness Issues
When the New York Giants suspended Plaxico Burress last week, everyone sort of assumed it had to be something more nefarious than simple "insubordination"—like those domestic disturbance calls to his home or maybe short-selling Lehman Brothers. It turns out that it was just because he didn't show up...
You The Man Now, Dawg
It's one thing to be arrested, but to be arrested for something called "pedestrian under the influence" and then having your mugshot show off the stylish temporary Bulldog tattoos stuck to your face ("cheek flair") adds another level of humiliation. That's what happened to former Georgia Bulldog and...

Tell It Goodbye
The Beatles played there, Pope John Paul II took a spin around the infield in the Popemobile, Spider-Man married Mary Jane Watson there, and one day in 1986 Bill Buckner rather famously had a ball roll through his legs. On Friday we asked you to send us your Shea Stadium memories, and you came throu...
NLDS Preview: Cubs Vs. Dodgers
From the very first day of Spring Training, the general consensus has been that This Is The Cubs' Year. (This has caused me considerable frightened quivering, pretty much from the get-go.) It's not just the 100 years thing either. It's difficult to argue that the Cubs haven't been the best team in ...
