'Kudos & Wet Willies,' ALCS Post-mortem Edition
Well, that's a wrap. The New York Yankees' 2010 season is over after the Texas Rangers clubbed them out of the ALCS in six games. If I was to give 'Kudos & Wet Willies' based simply on Friday night's season-ending 6-1 defeat I could probably sum it up by handing out one large team-wide 'Wet...

ALCS Game 2, 'Kudos & Wet Willies'
No dramatic comeback this time for our New York Yankees in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series. A 7-2 loss to the Texas Rangers leaves the series knotted at 1-1, and makes this edition of 'Kudos & Wet Willies' not nearly as much fun as the last one. Not much to be happy about...

Open Thread: Cuban Allies/Championship Series
I got into a bit of an argument with someone who is a Chicago Cubs fan a few weeks ago because I thought thatMark Cuban owning the Cubs would be a great thing for baseball. Cuban, the current owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks, is one of my favorite people in all of sports. I mean, how cool is...
