Marlins Tickets Are Basically Free, And Still No One's Going
You've got a second-year stadium and the worst attendance in the league. You've got the worst team in baseball. If you're the Marlins, how do you possibly make money? The answer, it seems, is to give away free tickets and hope people buy lots of beers....
MLB Should Probably Stop Scheduling April Games At Coors Field
Last week's four-game Mets-Rockies series featured two snow-outs, one of which was played as part of a supremely depressing doubleheader—a doubleheader, for that matter, which started two hours late because of an undermanned, overworked snow-clearing crew. The other game will probably be made up in ...
Fan Makes Diving Catch For A...Yuniesky Betancourt Home Run?
Yuniesky Betancourt hit a three-run home run tonight for the Brewers in a five-run first inning against the Padres. He actually puts a pretty good swing on it, too; it's a legit home run. Good for Yuniesky....
Justin Sellers Was Up To No Good In The Dodgers' Dugout Yesterday
We haven't the foggiest what Justin Sellers is up to in this video, other than fondling an invisible boob and rolling an invisible doob. That's more than enough for us to give it the Deadspin Video treatment....

Here's Boston's Emotional Return To Sports At Fenway And TD Garden
After a day of terrorism-induced lockdown, the city of Boston came alive again today with early-afternoon action at Fenway Park and TD Garden.

Baseball Fans React To The Capture Of The Second Bombing Suspect
With the Red Sox and Royals game postponed and Fenway Park empty as the manhunt for the suspected second Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev continued, the rest of Major League Baseball played its regular April 19 schedule. ...
Félix Pié Was "Covered In Beer" After Near-Fight With Fans
With all the other news going on this week, we missed the fallout from the Pirates' minor league dustup on Tuesday, the one that found outfielder Félix Pié—and possibly other players—trying to climb into the stands to fight fans in Toledo. A reader who was there has contacted us with more specifics....
The Red Sox And Bruins Games Have Been Postponed
Finally, four hours before first pitch/puck drop, the Red Sox and Bruins have announced that tonight's games are postponed. Considering Bostonians aren't supposed to leave their homes and mass transit isn't running, it took them damn well long enough....
Todd Frazier Homered At The Request Of A Batboy With Down Syndrome
Heartwarming news has certainly been in short supply this week, but a baseball game in Cincinnati last night provided us with some—and in a way that only adds to the growing legend of Reds third baseman Todd Frazier....
Derek Jeter Will Be Out A While
Derek Jeter will be out until at least the All-Star break after a "small crack" was found in his surgically repaired ankle. New York talk radio callers demand the Yankees trade some crappy AA pitcher for Troy Tulowitzki....

Padres CEO Blames Zack Greinke For Brawl, Likens Him To Rain Man
Yahoo has obtained an audio clip of San Deigo Padres CEO Tom Garfinkel saying dumb things about Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke to a group of Padres season ticket holders. Greinke had his collarbone broken when Padres outfielder Carlos Quentin needlessly charged him after being hit by Greinke on a 3-2 ...
