The Angels Just Won't Die
The Angels took game 5 of the ALCS against the Yankees last night, but the Yanks still have the advantage in the series, leading 3-2. The Angels took an early lead in the bottom of the 1st inning, scoring 4 runs. There was no other runs scored until the top of the 7th, when New York had an incredible 6-run rally. But in the bottom of the 7th, L.A. scored 3 more runs, and lead the Yanks by a run...

Ozzie Guillen to join Fox Sports for World Series →

This is the best goddamn news those cocksuckers at FOX Sports have announced in a long fucking time.
This can only end in disaster. Awesome.
This should make the series a little more interesting. Ozzie Guillen is never P.C. and almost always gets himself into trouble with the media. Next they’re gonna anounce that Rush Limbaugh and Rev. Al...
Governator Approves "Environmental Exemption"...
Developer Majestic Realty Co. will build a 75,000-seat NFL-style stadium in the City of Industry, about 15 miles east of Los Angeles, in hopes of luring an already existing team to move to the largest city in the U.S. without an NFL team. The company is considering 7 teams, including the San Francisco 49ers, Oakland Raiders, and San Diego Chargers.
In signing the “environmental...

CC Looks Great, Yanks Take Game 1
It was cold enough in New York for Robinson Cano to break out the ski mask. Not much to talk about in this game. CC Sabathia threw great pitches, giving up 1 run and just 4 hits in 8 innings. He probably could have pitched a complete game, but when you’ve got Mariano Rivera, you kind of have to use him. The Angels played sloppy committing 3 errors and impressing nobody, even after the...

Opposing Team Lets the Dodgers Win Again
For the second time this postseason, a team has handed the Dodgers a win. In Game 2 of the NLDS, Matt Holliday dropped a fly ball in the 9th-inning that would have won the game for the Cardinals, but instead tied the game and the next batter for the Dodgers drove in the winning run. Last night, after Pedro Martinez had pitched a brilliant game, Philadelphia 2nd-baseman Chase Utley threw a ball...
Dodgers Out-Hit Phillies, Lose Game 1
The Phillies took the first lead in the NLCS series last, beating the Dodgers 8-6. The Dodgers beat themselves last night: they had 14 hits (but went 3-14 with RISP), and their pitchers combined for a total of 7 walks, 3 wild pitches, and 2 3-run homers. Ryan Howard’s 2-run double gave him 18 RBIs, breaking the record he shared with Mike Schmidt for most RBIs in Phillies postseason...

Nickelodeon’s ratings are up in Miami, where the Hurricanes are undefeated since quarterback Jacory Harris asked his teammates to start watching “SpongeBob Squarepants.”
“Jacory called everyone up and said, ‘Hey, listen, then only thing we’re going to watch on TV from now on is SpongeBob,’” Coach Randy Shannon told the...

Dodgers Owner McCourt Forgot his Team is in the...
As long as I’ve been a sports fan, I’ve never had a team that really wanted to see lose. I’ve always more enjoyed watching a good game rather than rooting for a team to lose. But after my horrendous experience at Dodgers Stadium last week, I’m rooting heavily for the Phillies to annihilate the Dodgers. Further proving my point that everyone involved with the Dodgers...

Checketts Comes to his Senses, Drops Limbaugh
St. Louis Blues chariman Dave Checketts announced yesterday that he and his other associates have kicked Rush Limbaugh out of their little club. “It has become clear that his involvement in our group has become a complication and a distraction to our intentions; endangering our bid to keep the team in St. Louis,” Checketts said. “As such, we have decided to move forward without...

NASCAR HALL OF FAME OPENS TODAY
The NASCAR hall of fame officially opens its doors today, and will announce at 4PM ET who the first five inductees will be. The names on the list of inductees have been widely debated, but I’d bet the farm that at least one of them is Dale Earnhardt.

AND THEN THERE WERE FOUR
Who’s it gonna be in the World Series? We’ve got the Yankees playing the Angels and the Dodgers playing the Phillies. Personally I’d like to see a Yanks/Phillies series, but I’ll take anyone but the Dodgers. The Dodgers do not deserve to play anymore baseball this year, because their fans are jerks and they all need to shut the fuck up.

Cleveland Browns (1-4)……………6 Buffalo Bills (1-4)……………………3 The Cleveland Browns won a game! They’ve lost their last 10 in a row, but managed to pull one out on Sunday. Thank God.

Seau Signs with the Pats
Legendary (former) NFL linebacker Junior Seau has announced that he has officially signed a contract with the New England Patriots, after sitting out for the first 5 games of the season. Seau came out of retirement last season to play the final 4 games with the Pats, and said earlier this fall that he would be willing to play again, but only for New England. The Pats have had bad luck with...

Buffalo Bills Fans Achieve Heist of the Century →
thegreg:
Fans were successful in stealing a new 1,000 lb wooden statue of Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas from a parking lot across from Ralph Wilson Stadium a day after being unveiled.
It was determined that it would have taken several strong people with a flatbed truck to remove it the statue.
Because there aren’t any of those at an NFL game. You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.
(Thanks for...

Rev. Al Sharpton Urges NFL to Reject Limbaugh's...

Angels Sweep the Red Sox
The Los Angeles Angels swept the Boston Red Sox in the ALDS today at Fenway Park in Boston. The Angels were down for the entire game, but a 3-run rally in the 9th inning made the score 7-6, and the Sox couldn’t get anything going in their last at-bat. The Angeles had previously lost their last 11 postseason games against Boston, a streak extending back to 1986. This was also the first time...

GIRARDI TO POSADA: "TAKE A SEAT"
Yankees veteran catcher Jorge Posada got news yesterday that he will not be starting in tonight’s game 2 of the ALDS against the Minnesota Twins. Instead, Yanks skipper Joe Girardi is going with Jose Molina to catch starting pitcher A.J. Burnett. Hideki Matsui is in the DH spot, so there will be no room for Posada in the game. Posada had started every one of the Yanks’ postseason...

RUGBY AND GOLF BROUGHT BACK TO OLYMPIC GAMES
It’s been over 100 years since golf was played in the Olympic Games; Rugby was last played in 1924. Both will be played at the Summer Olympic Games in Rio De Janeiro in 2016, and again in 2020, after a vote Friday morning by the Olympic Committee. Golf was approved 63-27 with two abstentions. Rugby was voted in 81-8 with one abstention. The rugby competition will be a 4-day, 7-a-side...

The man, who is in his 70s, was retrieving his ball from a pond when the alligator bit him and pulled him into the pond, ripping off his arm in the struggle. The man’s golf partners were able to free him.

Dodgers - 2 Cardinals - 0 Phillies - 1 Rockies - 1 Angels - 1 Red Sox - 0 Yankees - 1 Twins - 0
If you haven’t been watching, the Cards lost game 1 due to poor hitting and pitching. Carpenter had a pretty bad night. In game 2, the Cards had 10 hits and could only score 2 runs. Holliday dropped a routine line-drive in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs that setup the Dodgers win. The...

Dodgers Fans are Not Very Nice
I went to Game 1 of the NLDS between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Los Angeles Dodgers last night at Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles. It was a great game: the Cards came out of the gates running, with 3 hits and 1 run in the 1st inning, but left the basses loaded to end the inning. Los Angeles answered in the bottom of the 1st with 2 runs, and the Cards just couldn’t seem to recover....

RUSH LIMBAUGH IS BIDDING TO BUY THE ST. LOUIS RAMS
Dear God, please say this is not happening. Ultra-conservative Rush Limbaugh is teaming up with Dave Checketts, owner of the St. Louis Blues, in a bid to buy the St. Louis Rams football team. The team’s worth is estimated at $929 million. The last thing the NFL needs is this guy being a part of the action. Stay out of football Rush Limbaugh, you’re not welcome!
