The Giants may have won the World Series, but this baseball season belonged to Stephen Strasburg. With his pursuit of history, the Washington Nationals pitcher revised notions of the possible; with his injury, he showed us that - even in an age of superhuman accomplishment - there are still limits.

Rising NFL stars Aaron Hernandez and T.J. Ward (43) square off

Forget the generic all-star list...we get it, Peyton Manning can throw and Adrian Peterson is fast. So here’s a list of great players who upon the season’s start had nowhere to go but up, and went there. These players should mostly continue their newfound success, and may soon enough be the standard at which other players are held to.

Keep an open ear, Bud.

There's baseball on TV in October? The MLB is close to setting new record lows for TV ratings during the World Series. We know that one of our editors (and millions more) are shunning baseball since the Rangers knocked off the Yankees, but why is everyone else avoiding the playoffs like the plague?

Andrew Sullivan just posted this neat little video about South African football to his blog on The Atlantic. The title of the entry? "For The Love Of The Game." We wholeheartedly agree.

Fast forward to 1:57. Larry King says "balls," LeBron can't stop laughing. 

Not sure how this little gem has escaped the blogosphere so far. Maybe Larry was trying to ask LeBron about this guy?

Sorry, Armando.

Jim Joyce clearly, and admittedly, cost the Tigers' Armando Galarraga a perfect game with his emphatic safe call on a routine ground ball with two outs in the ninth. Bud, you better give this guy the credit he deserves.

Sports are there for us when talking about the weather just won't cut it. Whenever we need to kickstart a conversation or end an awkward silence, "HOW BOUT DEM COWBOYS?!" always trumps "Nice day out there, huh?" Sports aren’t a perfect reflecting pool for life, and life isn’t all about sports. But, at the margins, they help sustain each other.

Whether it’s Monday Night Football at the beginning of every week or daytime baseball at the end, we know that our sports keep on trucking. And somehow, despite it all, so do we.

For the love of the game.
