Utley ties Reggie's World Series Record: Utley has hit five homers in five games, tying Reggie Jackson (1977) as the only other player in history with that many in a single World Series. And Mr. November will have at least one more opportunity, in Game 6 tomorrow in New York, to replace Mr. October in the record books.

Fines will be imposed for clear cases of flopping:: The league office has yet to determine exact fine amounts for offending flops and how fines might escalate for repeat offenders, but in-game arena observers and video reviewers will be instructed to report instances of theatrical flopping for potential punishment as part of postgame reports on officiating and other matters.

Belichick's cheating could lead to dark days for NFL.: Gregg Easterbrook: "It would not surprise me in the slightest if, before the season ends, Belichick resigns, or is suspended, or is fired by Kraft, or even is permanently barred from the league."

Howard fastest in history to 100 homers: It soared over the roughly 35-foot-high batter's eye in center field, bouncing into the Wall of Fame area on Ashburn Alley, a distance estimated to be 505 feet by the Phillies. That was Ryan Howard's 100th career home run, coming in his 325th game, breaking Ralph Kiner's 59-year-old record (385th game).

Rose bat corked, says expert: Apparently the bat ended up selling for over $100,000 to a casino that is going to cut it open to see if it's corked or not. Personally, I hope it is. Maybe this will finally put to rest all of the HOF talk that crops up every year.

Vincent: Baseball Should Train Its Own Umpires

I'm all for better umpiring, if it is possible. On the whole I'm pretty happy with baseball umpiring. I think balls and strikes should be turned over to a computer that immediately signals the home plate umpire of the call.

Unassisted triple play by Phillies' second baseman Eric Bruntlett

I was going to make the same point, cl. Previous to this at bat it looked like Bruntlett was going to be the cause of a loss (he looked lost out there on the two previous plays). Then this play happens and even he looked stunned.

Eagles Sign Michael Vick to Two-Year Deal

I'll admit it.... I love this. Unlike the T.O. deal, this one doesn't have much potential for failure. The Eagles already had one of the most creative teams in football. I'm excited to see how they'll use this undeniable playmaker.

Texas Rangers Don't Allow Fan's 'Yankees Suck' Shirt

Joey hit the nail on the head. I once saw a fight at a football game because of a Cowboys Suck shirt.

When is enough, enough?

Thanks for talking some sense, Weedy.

Comparing this guy to a meth user is so absurd to me I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

I wish I hadn't read this thread. Who knew that Drood was such a douche bag? Oh well, live and learn.

Brian Cashman: The Bad Lieutenant

I do find it surprising, but "dusted" proves that there is actually an audience for this type of writing. The idea that this article "goes to the heart" of anything besides "I hate the Yankees" is beyond me.
