Here it is, complete with video (toh to Andrew at Scott Proctor's Arm ) of John Sterling's call of the final out. I'm still laughing at his body gyrations.

He laughed. He cried. He smiled. He hugged. And he had to breathe a sigh of relief. Alex Rodriguez has been called many things, a lot of them unkind, but now he can finally be called a champion. Unfairly saddled with the blame for the Yankees epic 2004 ALCS collapse, A-Rod busted out of his ...

In an effort to inject some more life in the offense, Joe Girardi has benched Nick Swisher for tonight's second game of the World Series. The only problem is that he replaced him with the light hitting Jerry Hairston Jr., who is also not an outfielder by training. Hairston is 10-27 (.370) ...

"Only in America" (said with Yakoff Smirnoff accent). Seems one Susan Finkelstein took out an ad on Craigstlist. Said ad was a promise of "personal services" in exchange for World Series tickets. Apparently they were very personal services. Some law enforcement personnel busted her (I wonder ...
