DeAndre Jordan Snapchatted Doc Rivers's Son (Not Austin) To Say He Wanted To Return
We know that after agreeing to join the Dallas Mavericks in free agency, DeAndre Jordan had second thoughts and eventually re-signed with the Clippers.

The Reds may be approximately one million games out of the playoffs, but that doesn’t mean Joey Votto is mailing it in.

Irony Is Dead: Bakersfield Condors Unveil Oil-Themed Mascot

It's A Joy To Watch Josh Donaldson Tag Up
Josh Donaldson probably shouldn’t have tried tagging up here. This ball was hit to extremely shallow center field, and a good throw (or a momentum-aided one from one of the outfielders) probably nails him. But he decided to run, and instead we get to see one of the better tag-avoiding slides you’ll ...
