Penguins Perform "O Canada" Prior To Game Against The Flyers
U.S.-based NHL teams generally eschew singing "O Canada" before the opening face off against a fellow American squad, but in light of today's events in Ottawa the Penguins added Canada's national anthem to Jeff Jimerson's program. (They provided Pittsburghers the lyrics to sing along.)

Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum was absent for the introductions before Game One of the World Series last night, and no one knew why at the time. Was he fed up with his minuscule role in San Francisco's bullpen? Was there a fight in the clubhouse? Nah. He was just puking.
