None of Major League Baseball’s Division Series have ended up sweeps with one team 3 and out. You know what this means. All four series’ have lasted longer than some NBC new sitcoms.

The Cardinals really teed off on Nationals starter Edwin Jackson today, a career .500 pitcher. Gosh, if only Washington had a really top notch starting pitcher they could have used for game 3.

Rick Santorum said today that marriage will “disintegrate” along with the American family if same-sex marriage becomes legal. Uh, really? So far marriage has been strong enough to survive the Kardashians.
