Best of The Big Picture: most-read posts

There are occasionally things we write that other people think are good enough to share with their larger audiences. SI.com, Yahoo!, Deadspin and even The New York Times have linked to our work, which makes us feel mushy inside and brings many sets of new eyeballs to our site; and new people to tell us to go fuck ourselves with a toilet plunger.

Some of these high-trafficked posts were good; some were thrown together in 10 minutes after finding a neat story. All were good for the site.

Here are some of the highlights:

• 5 Reasons Why the World Series Sucks
• Foul Ball Etiquette
• 10 Gym Personalities That Piss You Off
• Baseball Stadium Traditions
• Sports Fans We Love to Love
• Miserable Sports Cities
• Like Obama, The Big Picture is for change
• The most brutal losses you've ever endured
• Coaches with the most distinct appearance
• If Phillip Rivers died a famous movie death
• Rick Ankiel, your 2007 NL MVP
• Yao Ming could do like waaay better
• If MLB playoff contenders were Saved by the Bell characters
• If MLB players were Street Fighter II characters...
