SportsFilter: The Tuesday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
The primary sponsor of the US Speedskating team is now The Colbert Nation. huh.

It sounded crazy at the time but PETA's come out drawing a line from Manu Ginobli to Michael Vick. Note that in the article on Ginobli, the line "no respect or consideration for lives humbler than his own" links to the PETA chronicles on Michael Vick. Unbelievable.

Jim Nantz must pay his ex-wife $916,000 a year in child support and alimony in their divorce. The CBS broadcaster is making $3.2 million in yearly salary and has millions in other income, shared investment accounts, real estate and other property.

The bat didn't die. Manu Ginobli is now getting rabies shots as a precaution because the bat flew off and could not be tested for the disease.

Hmm. This close to Halloween. An undead bat. It all means one thing:
Beware Count Turkoglu!

With all the second guessing of Charlie Manuel's Series rotation, if the Phils can get to a game 7, there's a 50% chance of rain for Thursday. If they get a rainout, Lee can go on Friday with another day of rest.
Between Lidge's loss of magic and Hamels' mental state, there's a city-wide fingernail shortage in Philadelphia. Folks have chewed 'em down as far as they'll go.
