Now In Costume: Critical Mass Thrills Cyclists, Annoys Everyone Else.

Cyclists in New York put up with a lot. Maniacal cabbies. Clueless pedestrians. Streets riddled with potholes. Expert thieves well-versed in the art of breaking through Kryptonite locks. Halloween presents the perfect opportunity for local bike enthusiasts to scare off their opponents with costumes more intimidating then their lightweight means of conveyance. So it’s perfect that Critical Mass will hold a festively-attired bike tour (starting on the north side of Union Square) around the city at 7pm tonight. More »

Tennis Pros Pre-Game In NYC

Conversations will soon turn on to the U.S. Open. The arrival of tennis stars has been more of a bang than a whimper in New York. Serena Williams glowed at the unveiling event for her wax figure at Madame Tussauds on August 27, 2009. Later that day she and Roger Federer attended the 2009 US Open Draw Presentation at the New York Times Center. Tennis champion Rafael Nadel was out and about as well enjoying good times with Olympic Medalist Fencer Tim Morehouse. And what are they up to tonight? More story… More »

Photo Of The Day: New York Yankees Beat The Boston Red Sox At Fenway

Rivalries are fun, especially when you are on the winning end. The NY Yankees beat the Red Sox at Boston’s Fenway Park, yesterday. In this action shot, former BoSox boy Johnny Damon misses a hit (painfully, by the looks of things), but teammate Melky Cabrera picks it up, one of the saves leading to the final 8-4 Yankees victory. Just seeing all this running around in tight pants has me wanting an $8 beer and stale pretzel, and it’s not even noon. More photos below… More »

Let’s Hear It For The U.S. Open Champion Lucas Glover And New York Fans!

[Wei Under Par] On Monday, Lucas Glover, a relatively unknown golfer, outlasted the field and took home the U.S. Open trophy. Where was Tiger Woods, or Phil Mickelson, you ask? Tiger was the outright favorite to win when the tournament started and Phil was the people’s choice. As the world’s number one and two golfers, respectively, they both made their run at the title. But how about the New York fans that stuck it through the soggy, rainy and muddy week at Bethpage Black, and cheered on the players until the very end? More »

It’s Wimbledon time, again, and with no Rafael Nadal in sight, Roger Federer is aiming to reclaim the cup. Serena Williams is back this year, too, and since, in a weird reversal, London is experiencing perfect, summery weather, this year’s competition is bound to be nice for athletes and spectators alike. And for those of us stuck in the rain, take a break from arc-building and look through these hilarious pictures of the pros in action….

Tiger Takes Throne, Rain Or Shine

[Tiger Woods (R) stands with caddie Steve Williams (L) under his umbrella on the third green during the first round of the 109th U.S. Open on the Black Course at Bethpage State. Photo via Getty] Day three from Stephanie Wei, our official corespondent at the US Open:

Here’s a look at Tiger Woods yesterday at Bethpage Black in “Round” One of the U.S. Open aka “Woodstock for golfers” or “The Great Flood.”

After only three hours, the monsoon heavy rain flooded Bethpage and play was suspended.

The pictures I took (below) say it all. I don’t have to tell you that it was painful and conditions were impossible. You’ve either heard it or caught the highlights on Sportscenter already. Better yet, you’re following Ian Poulter on Twitter and got the play-by-play from him. More »
