Holy Fucking Shit, Chicago Cubs Actually Win World Series

J.R. Smith Rips Shirt Off To Try And Inspire An Indians Rally

Dexter Fowler Starts Game 7 With A Leadoff Donger

Corey Kluber is starting for the third time in the past nine days, and he gave up a dinger to Dexter Fowler on his fourth pitch of the evening. Fowler wasn’t sure it’d clear the fence but he rounded second and yelled backwards at the Cubs dugout after the dinger fell....

Terry Francona Eats Garbage Late At Night And I Get It

We all (and by “we all” I mean “I”) remember the tale of Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona eating 17 popsicles in one night. It was his second-greatest achievement after winning the 2004 World Series, and well ahead of winning the 2007 World Series. Over time, it’s clear that Tito has a prope...

Joe Maddon did his best to explain his questionable bullpen usage, but this is way more important than the effectiveness of baseball’s best reliever in Game 7 of the World Series: Maddon wants to fix Twitter....

At Least Jason Heyward Can Still Play Some Defense

It wasn’t so long ago that watching Jason Heyward play baseball was one of the more thrilling experiences the game had to offer. It’s easy to say that about a guy who plays all-world defense in the outfield and knocks the crap out of the ball at the plate, but the 2016 version of Heyward is not that...

Joe Maddon, What Were You Thinking?

Fuck it, I’ll second-guess....

Addison Russell, fresh off picking up two of the easiest RBIs of his career thanks to some outfield incompetence, welcomed Dan Otero to the game by spanking this pitch to center field for a grand salami....

Cleveland Gifted A Few Runs To Chicago With Some Dumbass Defense

It was a perfectly normal, albeit disappointing, first-inning development when Josh Tomlin followed up two quick outs by laying an easy curveball for Kris Bryant to jerk out of the ballpark. Much less normal, however, was the way the Indians gave up their next two runs to the Cubs....

Get A Load Of The Sports Dude's Extremely Poor World Series Take

Hey, look!

Hold On, Has Matt Harvey Never Seen <i>The Dark Knight</i>?

Matt Harvey, the New York Mets ace, has been going by the nickname “The Dark Knight” since early 2013—the name stuck after Sports Illustrated put Harvey on the cover of its May 20, 2013 edition along with the copy, “The Dark Knight of Gotham.” In retrospect, this may have a bit of a premature move, ...

Hunter Pence's Dance Moves Are Somehow Less Awkward Than His Batting Stance<em></em>

White Sox Didn't Want Giant Downward Arrow On Their Stadium; Corporate Sponsor Said "Too Bad"

When the White Sox announced a new, 13-year naming rights deal for their stadium (which you can continue to call whatever you’d like), the jokes were plentiful and justified: The name is awkward and bland, and could they really not do better than a medium-sized mortgage lender? But judgment was larg...
