As snow falls, baseball's in the air
Some things to remember: Jim Thome's worth the money, the Phillies haven't won anything yet, and the Cubs and White Sox are still the Cubs and White Sox.
Boom! Now you've got something!
John Madden and Al Michaels are meshing nicely on "Monday Night Football" -- but don't assume they're the best in the business.
Tiger's burden
Must Tiger Woods support every p.c. protest, no matter how trivial, just because he's benefited from the "struggles" of others?
Let's have an argument!
It's good to have a real sport that's messy and silly and dumb, and Division I football's method of crowning a champion is all of that.
Can Manute Bol save Jim Irsay?
The cash-seeking owner may have to put the 7-foot-7 Dinka tribesman in shoulder pads to keep the Colts in Indianapolis.
The fools in Section 207
The NFL establishment doesn't like quarterback controversies, but in St. Louis and Minnesota, the fans might have a point.
Michael Jordan -- boring
His Airness can play basketball until he's an old man, but there's less and less reason to care.
Why I love college football's overtime system
It's weird, it's wacky -- and it beats the hell out of the NFL's version, in which a coin toss can be the key play.
One last surprise
After six nights of roller coaster weirdness, the Angels and Giants played a relatively uneventful Game 7. And when it was over, Anaheim almost looked like fun.
The Barry question
Walk him? Pitch to him? The Angels have run out of room for error in trying to decide.
Moments to remember
Cal Ripken Jr. is No. 1, the World Series is tied and Ray Liotta has something strange on his head.
Batting around
After the Angels' second straight 10-run outburst, a tight World Series is looking like a potential blowout.
"Oh! My God!"
The Giants and Angels don't seem able to play a dull World Series game. Even the participants have been amazed so far.
Who needs champions?
The evil possibility of an all-wild card World Series has come to pass, and you know what? It looks pretty good from here.
America loves underdogs
Just not enough to watch them play. Too bad, because the baseball teams that are still alive are a stone gas.
Giants in 5
Or the Braves. Russ Ortiz pitching on full rest is as sure a thing as anything in the playoffs so far. That is: Not very sure.
Why isn't Barry Bonds productive?
Because of a colossal managerial blunder that has him hitting cleanup instead of leadoff.
Picking winners
In the baseball playoffs, the National League teams all look vulnerable and the American League teams all look unbeatable. Something's gotta give.
MVP: Bonds and A-Rod, and it ain't close
Let's cut the crap about reserving the award for a player on a winning team. The best player in the league is the most valuable, whoever he plays for.
Baseball shouldn't overreact to attack
Thursday's incident was shocking, but ballparks are relatively safe places, and don't need to be turned into armed camps.
Curt Schilling needs the ball
The five-man rotation steals starts from aces and gives them to lesser arms. When will a manager have the guts to ditch it?
The Angels-A's race is a dud
Thanks to baseball's boneheaded wild-card system, we once again have two great teams playing meaningless games in September.
Sports and 9/11
We can call a quarterback a "warrior" without disrespecting last year's heroes.
Any given Thursday
It's time for the NFL to prove once again that having money doesn't mean a team can't still stink. Baseball, are you listening?
What baseball needs to do now
A few modest proposals to prevent the game from squandering whatever fan goodwill remains.
