And it was discovered under the grandstand, sometime after Stanley fell apart at the conclusion of yesterday's Farmers Insurance Open. Stanley had a three-stroke lead when he got to No. 18, where he tried to lay up, only to land his ball in the water, after which he three-putted. Who hasn't been there? Stanley ended up in a playoff with Brandt Snedeker, who went on to beat him on the second hole after Stanley missed a putt for par. More »

The Magic scored just 56 points and made only 16 field goals in their blowout loss to the Celtics, who were without Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen. But that might not have been the worst of it for Orlando: At one point here in the third quarter, they had just four players on the court during a defensive possession, at least until Jason Richardson figured it out, ran onto the floor during play, and knocked the ball out of Greg Stiemsma's hands. The officials never stopped the action with a whistle, however, because Richardson was technically still in the game. More »

He was either going for the most stylish clearance of all time, or had a mid-air full-body spasm that resolved itself into a terrible thing of beauty. More »

Ruben Amaro is a ninja—except when his email blasts on free agency signings find their way into the wrong hands. A reader forwards along this missive, purportedly from Ruben Amaro to the front office announcing that the Phillies are signing Dontrelle Willis to a one-year deal pending a physical. Because our reader has an email address similar to someone with the team, he says he occasionally gets official-looking correspondence like this. More »

The group behind London, Ontario's newest pro baseball team, the Rippers, claims not to have had one of the most infamous serial killers in mind when they chose the name and designed the logo seen here. London, Ontario's "Ripper" is a man hiding behind a cape, wearing a top hat, and wielding a baseball bat, and he will be "lurking" in Labatt Park come spring 2012, but he is not at all like London, England's Ripper.

In pole vaulting, the eponymous pole is designed to bend, not break. Sometimes it does both. At the IAAF World Championships in Daegu, South Korea, Russian pole vaulter Dmitry Starodubtsev was attempting 5.75 meters — roughly six inches off the eventual winning height — when his pole snapped like a strand of uncooked vermicelli. This is why they rarely use uncooked vermicelli in pole vaulting. [Eurosport] More »

After being traded to the Red Wings for the princely sum of one American dollar, Kris Draper racked up quite the career over 17 years in Detroit. But this past season was a disappointing one for the 40-year-old Draper, in which he missed nearly half his team's games with injuries and (more tellingly) healthy scratches. So it wouldn't surprise anyone if Draper were to call it quits. But this isn't how we wanted to find out. Not like this. More »

The Cubs blew a 3 2-0 lead against the Marlins last night in a ninth inning that saw Chicago closer Carlos Marmol booed off the mound by the friendly hometown crowd. The hurt started with this Greg Dobbs hit to right field, which — despite Dewayne Wise's unprovoked face-plant as he headed toward home — brought in three Marlins runners thanks to a Chicago error. For the first time in Houston this season, Brad Mills has reason for a smug smile. More »

Viktor Troicki, the 15 seed in the French Open, nearly upset No. 4 Andy Murray today in Paris, in a five set match that took two days to complete. Murray won 4-6, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 7-5, but in a game in which any single point can swing the momentum of a match, Troicki will likely remember his interrupted winner at the start of the sixth game in the fifth set, when an overzealous ball boy galloped onto the court and forced a let. Troicki lost the ensuing point but won the game, and down 5-2 in the deciding set, Murray fought back (and through an ankle injury) to win the match. More »
