Maple Bats: One of Baseball's Most Dangerous Weapons About two or three times a game. players swinging bats made of maple wood end up with kindling in their hands while the barrel – blunt and thick on one end, splintered and sharp on the other – flies every which direction. "Someone's going to die at a baseball stadium soon," writes Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports. "Might be a player. Could be an umpire. Possibly even a fan. It almost was a coach."

Who is Antonio Cromartie? Cromartie may be best known as the Chargers quaterback who led the league in interceptions last year and owns the league record for longest scoring play with a 109 yard return. But not many people know about the other aspects of Cromartie's life, life changing instances such as life-threatening illnesses, having his mom kidnapped at gunpoint, and a scary car accident.

Page 2's Bill Simmons channels Doc Rivers A knee-jerk tirade to an un-expected loss that upon more sober reflection turns into a tongue-in-cheek commentary on coaching.

Want some flies with those fries? It may not be just your team's stats that make you ill. WARNING: not for the weak of stomach or Los Angeles Angels fans.

Comerica Park wasn't up there so I suppose that is a good thing. Now if only the Tigers would stop stinking up the place.

Yeah this is not the year. Not at all.

D'Antoni accepts Knicks' offer Mike D'Antoni is set to become coach of the New York Knicks, bringing his entertaining offensive style from the Phoenix Suns to a team coming off one of the worst seasons in its history. Can he make the Knicks contenders again?
posted to Basketball at 4:48 PM CDT
It will be interesting to see whether D'Antoni is truly a good coach or if his success with the Suns was just a product of having Nash and Stoudemire.

I thought the link was very interesting. Too bad Isaiah Thomas was fired, otherwise he could have had a chance at being drafted.

Incredible throws. They would be impressive if he simply one-hopped them, but for the throws to reach third base on the fly with that much accuracy is unreal.

So how come is it that whenever they turn and throw over to first base from the pitcher's mound ( or when they field the ball and toss to first) there is a good chance the ball is going to wind up in the dugout? I'm exaggerating, of course
That is not neccesarily an exaggeration. During the 2006 playoffs the Tigers' pitchers became thoroughly incapable of making easy throws to third base after fielding grounders.

PGA Dresses Down John Daly for Golfing Topless A video of John Daly golfing in Branson, Mo., with no shirt or shoes has prompted this response from PGA Commissioner Tim Finchem: "There are certain things about presentation that we must insist on."

I think we can all agree (BaaHaaHaaHaa!) that the real issue is that John Daly should not be photographed without his shirt. Ever.
Seconded.

It's been 10 years?!
That's right, 10 years since Kerry Wood tied the major league record for strikeouts in a 9-inning game.
You can watch the video highlights of the 20 strikeouts here.

Let me address the first statement as eloquently as possible: Are you freakin' kidding me? The Celtics are gonna put the mighty Pistons out of their misery as soon as they get passed those pesky Cavs
So the Celtics squeak past the Hawks (the Eastern Conference's worst playoff team) and are having troubles with Cleveland and you think they will just storm past the Pistons just like that? I have a feeling you are going to be in for an unpleasant suprise.
Looks like there will be a game seven. Unfortunately for the Celtics, LeBron James is much better than Joe Johnson. I'm not saying they can't win this game, but I doubt it will be as easy as their last game seven was.
