Bill Bavasi, helping: "They may not know how to play the game well, they may not know how to hold each other accountable, they may not know how to fight hard," he said. "But they are playing hard. They are trying hard." It's June 5, y'all, and the Mariners . . . looking good!

ALL SHOUTING, ALL THE TIME! Joe Bartnick claims to have the "biggest balls in sports." Perhaps they are obscuring his punctuation keys. Hey, fans: Joe is avaliable for private and corporate events!

An Open Letter From Roger Ebert To Jay Mariotti Mariotti is an easy target at the best of times, but his abrupt departure from the Chicago Sun-Times, right after they paid his way to China for the Olympics, left his most distinguished now-former colleague more than a little out of joint. And no one writes a screw-you letter like Roger Ebert.

At least we know he's clean and not using any performance enhancing drugs, right?
Right?
Boy, this sure sounds snotty. Am I missing something? Do you have some evidence or allegations to give us? Anything other than just sneering?

Not tonight, honey, I have a game tomorrow. The notion of pre-game abstinence from sex to enhance athletic performance is a longstanding one. But is that notion as fictional as Rocky Balboa? Sean Cupp thinks so. Chris Byrd is the guinea pig. Tom Fornelli resents his high school coach.

Crash Davis: I never told him to stay out of your bed. Annie Savoy: You most certainly did. Crash Davis: I never told him to stay out of your bed. Annie Savoy: Yes you did. Crash Davis: I told him that a player on a streak has to respect the streak. Annie Savoy: Oh fine. Crash Davis: You know why? Because they don't - -they don't happen very often. Annie Savoy: Right. Crash Davis: If you believe you're playing well because you're getting laid, or because you're not getting laid, or because you wear women's underwear, then you ARE! And you should know that! Not really the idea behind the article, but . . . well, frankly, I basically am incapable of expressing myself without quotes from The Simpsons or Bull Durham.

ESPN Fires Pittsburgh Radio Host Mark Madden Last Wednesday, ESPN 1250 host Mark Madden responded to news of Sen. Ted Kennedy's illness with this comment: "I'm very disappointed to hear that Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts is near death because of a brain tumor. I always hoped Senator Kennedy would live long enough to be assassinated." This Wednesday, he's looking for a new job. AOL Fanhouse blogger Ryan Wilson's response: "It couldn't have happened to a nicer jerk."

"We might be first to 10,000, but we're first in something." The Philadelphia Phillies have lost more games than any other team in the Big Leagues, and they're coming up on 10,000 losses. Chart of the Top Five (Pittsburgh's #4). "In the 27 seasons from 1919 through 1945, Philadelphia finished last in the National League 16 times and second to last 7 times." Philadelphia's also the city with teams in one of the four major professional sports that's gone the longest without a championship. Some fans are choosing to Celebrate 10,000.

Even if this article hadn't been as darkly hilarious as it was, the hang-gliding anecdote alone would have made it worthwhile.

Why Cyclists Really Shave Their Legs The cycling columnist for The Guardian has something to get off his chest today about his silky-smooth shaven legs: Cyclists don't do it for aerodynamic reasons. "Experts may try to tell you instead that smooth legs are worth a couple of seconds a kilometre, so this male depilation can mean the margin between victory and defeat," Matt Seaton writes. "But if this were true, we would all be shaving our forearms. And perhaps our eyebrows, too. ... we shave our legs because we think it looks good."

"The guy said, 'Hit the net like any Negro would.'" Serena Williams battled both Lucie Safarova and a racist heckler to win her third-round match at the Sony Ericcson Open on Monday, before going on to hand Maria Sharapova a 6-1, 6-1 defeat in the final on Tuesday.

Tim Hardaway, the yin to Jon Amaechi's yang: "First of all I wouldn't want him on my team," said Hardaway. "Second of all, if he was on my team I would really distance myself from him because I don't think that's right and I don't think he should be in the locker room when we're in the locker room."

I'm here to help! "The gay lifestyle is for me," said James Miller, an Oklahoma City father of four who recently moved to Provincetown, MA, to pursue a career in bath-house management. "When I was a family man, I constantly had to worry about things like taking the kids to Little League practice, paying for their braces, and remembering my wife's birthday. But now that I'm gay, I'm finally free to focus all my energy on having non-stop, mind-blowing anal sex."

I'm with Hardaway to this extent, if I am in a foxhole for two days waiting for the enemy I want to share that moment in my life with someone who shares my values. Gosh, that's swell. While you're indulging in some fantasy about choosing who you'd like to share a foxhole with--I didn't know you got to pick--you might as well also imagine your awesome life as an NBA basketball player. In either scenario, make sure you imagine yourself surrounded by the Creeping Gay Horde.

Clearly, the answer is that everyone gets his or her own shower and locker room. Once we make sure that nobody sees anyone else naked, all of our problems will be solved. In fact, I advocate blindfolds. You never know when you might be unexpectedly turned on by your own genitals. It's too chancy to risk. Man, I like SportsFilter, I really do. I'm too much of a sports moron to comment much, so I tend to generally lurk and stay out of things. But this week has been really disappointing.

The "clutchiest" hits in MLB playoff history.
From Ortiz to Branca, from Brosius to Gibson, a semi-statistical breakdown of the biggest hits in MLB playoff history. So who had the clutchiest hit ever?
Tony Womack?!

Edgar Martinez knocking in Griffey from first with a double to beat the Yankees in 1995. The game--and play--that made me fall in love with baseball after a whole life spent in indifference to it. Just the best.
