Your Nats-Fan-Reading-At-The-Game Update

Wrestler Dances Like Nobody's Watching
This is not a video about some random post-match interview with a wrestler named Whitney Conder from over a year ago. It's about so much more....


On First Pitches As A Cub, Henry Rodriguez Hit Ump And Carlos Beltran
The Washington Nationals recently traded Henry Rodriguez to the Cubs because he was not developing in the way they thought he would. Specifically, he struggled with control issues. His trade value was limited due to "bouts of wildness." He had a power arm, but often had no idea where his pitches w...

Tuukka Rask Shuts Out Chicago Despite "Shitty" Ice; Bruins Lead 2-1
Game 3 actually ended in regulation, a nice change of pace from the first two games, but not before a short scuffle with about 11 seconds left. It looked like it was going to get really ugly for a second, but the refs quickly got control of the action and the game ended without (much) incident. Unl...

The Downfall Of Civilization Will Be A Foul Ball
There's no real explanation for it, but getting a foul ball—or any other ball that finds its way into the stands—is pretty exciting. It's an unexpected physical reminder of an event. I have a foul ball I got from a spring training game on my desk. I don't know why I keep it—Hey, wanna check out my ...

Rich Rodriguez And His Arizona Coaching Staff Play Cowboys In A Saloon
Here is a video featuring Rich Rodriguez and his coaching staff at Arizona dressing up like cowboys in a saloon. It's called "Hard Edge." Also worth noting: they gave it a title. Here's a quick rundown of the highlights....

Justin Rose Wins The U.S. Open
Justin Rose won the U.S. Open, but since Phil Mickelson came in second (again) it'll play like Phil lost it. But Justin Rose (basically) kept it together while everyone else fell apart and deserves some credit for succeeding where they all failed. He shot even on the day when most of his competition...

Cubs Score On Consecutive Mets Throwing Errors, Still Lose
We pick up the action in the fifth inning with "...David Wright, who's won two gold gloves—not a good throw, though!..." and it only got better....

I Have No Idea What Is Going On With The NBA On TNT Twitter Account
We don't have many clues to work on here; all we have is the cryptically-worded message "Thundervgrizzlies" and the even more cryptic footage of a human, possibly infant, foot. ...

Phil Mickelson Eagled 10 To (Momentarily) Regain The Lead At U.S. Open
It's felt like the entire field has crumpled at the same time during the final round of the U.S. Open today at Merion. Luke Donald went from hitting out of the water to hitting out of the sand. Rory McIlroy broke a club and while it looked like perpetual sad-sack Jason Dufner was going to make a pu...

Turns out pimps just use the ATM like the rest of us....

Philadelphia Is Still Paying For The Vet
That is video of Veterans Stadium—prior home to the Eagles and Phillies before they each got shiny, new stadiums—being demolished. As you can see, it no longer exists. It has not existed since 2004, but Philadelphia still owes $183,000 on it. ...


Sometimes You Run The Dog; Sometimes You're The Dog Who Needs Running
My wife's butt is quickly pulling away. My dog's tail, though already small to begin with, looks like a peppercorn in the salad green of the forest. And I am hydroplaning through the muck of the trails. It is raining, I am running and I am hungover. Fuck....

Shawn Stefani Hits Hole-In-One At U.S. Open
Stefani's ace on 17 was the first ever at a U.S. Open at Merion and the 43rd in U.S. Open history. What sets it apart from most is that Stefani flew his tee shot completely over the green, landed the ball in the rough and then watched it trickle down into the hole. ...
