This weekend in sports


It's a summer Friday, so we're out of here in a few minutes and we don't want to leave you without this weekend's must-see TV. In short, there isn't any. No U.S. Open, no Indy 500, no Clemens. Make due. Get some sun. Read a book. Watch the World Bowl, if you must.

Tonight

A's at Mets (7:05 P.M. ET, MLB.TV)
- It's a Deadspin Pants Party at Shea Stadium tonight, fuckers. We won't be there, but keep an eye on the stands, friends.

Phillies at Cardinals (8:10 P.M. ET, MLB.TV)
- The first Cardinal game in the Mike Maroth era for the Deadbirds. Anticipation...rising...

Red Sox at Padres (10: 05 P.M. ET, MLB.TV)
- Dice-K vs. Maddux. Imagine if this match-up was taking place six years ago.

Saturday

World Bowl XV (Noon ET, NFL)
- The Frankfurt Galaxy and Hamburg Sea Devils battle in what may be the last World Bowl ever played. Tear.

Cubs at White Sox (1:05 P.M. ET, WGN)
- Honestly, the absence of Michael Barret takes a lot of the fun out of this one.

Tigers at Braves (3:55 P.M. ET, FOX)
- Justin Verlander strikes Andruw Jones out multiple times. We're not saying it's going to happen, just that it might.

Sunday

Twins at Marlins (1:05 P.M. ET, MLB.TV
- Johan Santana. Dontrelle Willis. Each have 7-6 records, so which would you rather have?

Indians at Nationals (1:35 P.M. ET, MLB.TV)
- It's matchups like this that keep us wanting more - not less - interleague play.

Tigers at Braves (8:05 P.M. ET, ESPN)- Because no weekend is complete without a lil' Joe Morgan blathering.
