Jim Thome just went deep for the White Sox in their one-game playoff against the Twins, breaking a 0-0 tie in the seventh. Seems like the Pale Hose ought to win this one, right? But more on the playoffs later.
With the Orioles season over and the bad memories of The Slide already starting to fade, [...]

You can’t really get a closer game than Ravens vs. Steelers last night. It will also be tough to find a better all around football game this season. It was a bitter and brutal matchup between the only two teams that matter anymore in the AFC North. Sorry Ohio. If you don’t think these two [...]

I can’t remember the last time there was a football game that felt this big ’round these parts. And why not? Barring a dramatic reversal of fortunes (or a nasty run of injuries), the division will come down to these two teams. Getting a game in hand this early will go a long way.

It’s partially a recap of what I already said below, but it’s also a link to what Paul Lukas at Uni Watch had to say.

They’re doing a doubleheader the old-fashioned (read: best) way down at Camden Yards tonight. Game one starts at 5:05 and there’ll be at least eighteen innings of baseball coming down the pike after that with no quarter given. I’d be stoked as hell if it was still May.
Alas, it’s September and I’m fairly certain that [...]
