Seriously, sports suck. At one point on Friday, the Red Sox were up 4-0 against the punchless Mariners, while the Rays were getting stomped by Cleveland and the Yankees were down 4-1 to the Twins. But then Suzuki belts two HRs off the lefty Jon Lester, and the Devil Rays and Yankees pull off miracle comebacks.From the unique Eric Van on Sons of Sam Horn, on the Red Sox latest appalling loss (the

No marbles shall be remaindered, nor set aside for any reason, for each and every marble will be at stake, to be awarded to the victor, whilst none shall be awarded to the loser.

(No, not the Sport Guy actually ON steroids, just writing about them.)Everyone is talking about Bill Simmons' recent article, where he imagines talking to his young son and his father about steroids and sports. It's pretty insightful. Here's an excerpt:“I pointed at the Patriots Super Bowl banner.”"Isn't that the team that cheated?" my son asks.My father and I glance at each other. A few beats

Gollee, I don't rightly know what a hockey is, but it shore is fun! Game 4, Bruins trailing 2 games to 1.For Boston, Andrew Ference is out of the lineup, Sheriff Shane Hnidy replaces him on defense. Possibly-injured Blake Wheeler will play. Alas, Byron Bitz is apparently a scratch again. The Bruins need a lift, and one way to get that lift? It's, it's Byron Bitz, YEAHHHH, it's Byron Bitz! All

Apparently some guy from the Dodgers got caught taking girl hormones, so it's time for everyone to freak out. Anyway, I'll be doing a live blog of the Bruins game tonight, so check it out. It's not quite a must-win game, but what's the nearest thing to a must-win game without technically being one? Can we call it a just-win game, meaning that if you just win, you'll be in good shape, but if you

Happy Rob "Sinko" DiMaio, amigos. The Bruins are back tomorrow night, for a crucial Game 3. Tonight for the Medias Rojas, "El Corte Verde," aka Nick Green, puts his personal 14-game winning streak as starting shortstop on the line against Jabba the Hutt and the Yanquis, as Julio Lugo rests, temporarily maintaining his personal losing streak at 4 games. Surely Jabba the Hutt won't win on the day
