Joel Embiid's knee woe is dumb fodder for new episode of 'When Meatheads Attack'
Joel Embiid needs an MRI on his hyperextended left knee when the 76ers get back home. This after he just got back from health-and-safety protocols and having to (getting to?) sit out of the All-Star Game....

Stop trying to make Nerds vs. Fun happen in the NBA, too
Let’s get this out of the way immediately: if your reaction to seeing Anthony Edwards’ dunk last week was to complain that it was “all over Twitter” but also note that he was 0-for-7 on three-pointers, you’re either an idiot, a serious killjoy, trolling for attention, or some combination of the thre...

Brett Gardner isn’t a Yankee right now and it makes zero sense
Brett Gardner was the Yankees’ third-round pick in the 2005 draft, debuted in pinstripes in 2008, and has been in the Bronx ever since. He’s the last remaining player with the Yankees from their last championship team in 2009… except that right now, even he’s not remaining....

Not For The First Time, Aaron Judge Leaves Starstruck Children Weeping
“Psh,” you say. “Athletes regularly leave their fans in tears. This isn’t news! Move on, find a new slant.” That is true. Please don’t remind me of Brandon Inge’s ‘09 Home Run Derby outing. What we’ve got here, though, is a case of the happy tears. The medical way of explaining this is that children...

Strike Brett Gardner Down, And He Will Only Become More Powerful
When he gets upset about poor umpiring, Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner has been doing ... whatever it is he’s doing in that GIF above. Some might call it a healthy venting of frustration, but others might call it obnoxious tantrum-throwing. Someone who is definitely on Team Obnoxious is umpire Phi...

Aaron Judge Becomes Another Name On A Long List Of Injured Yankees
Aaron Judge became the latest player to get added onto the Yankees’ long, long list of injured players on Saturday. The team announced that Judge had injured his left oblique and that he was headed to the hospital for an MRI and further evaluation....

Reports: Andrew McCutchen To Become The Yankees' Very Likable Backup Plan

Even For Aaron Judge, Eight Strikeouts Is A Lot!
The Yankees knew what they were signing up for when they brought together Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton in the heart of their order. There would be stretches of pure pyrotechnic dong-mashing spectacle and there would also be days marked by multiple sullen trips back to the dugout, during which g...

Aaron Judge Can Sure Throw The Hell Out Of A Baseball
The Yankees eked out a narrow win over the Angels Friday night, in a game in which Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge, and Giancarlo Stanton combined to go 1-of-13 from the plate. But that crummy hitting doesn’t mean the game was entirely without highlights from its marquee players—hearty lad Aa...

It's Cool When Baseball Announcers Just Lose It Over A Home Run
You’ve seen plenty of booming Aaron Judge dingers since the big guy entered the league, but I think you will particularly enjoy this 471-foot yam he mashed last night, in part because it pairs so well with Ryan Ruocco’s call:...

MLB Tells Aaron Judge To Stop Saying Nice Things About Manny Machado<em></em>
Speaking to reporters before yesterday’s spring training game between the Yankees and the Orioles, Aaron Judge praised Orioles star Manny Machado and said he’d sort of limply recruited Machado. “Adding him to our lineup that we already got would be something special,” Judge said. “I told him he’d lo...

Aaron Judge Is A Hero Again
Aaron Judge, the Yankees’ young superstar slugger and potential MVP, had been having a pretty worthless postseason at the plate. Despite his team’s success, Judge only notched one hit in the entire ALDS, and he’s been mostly anonymous against Houston, only coming out of his shell for a home run in G...

Aaron Judge Jumps And—
Large Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge made quite the catch in the top of the fourth inning tonight, crashing into the right field wall to snare a deep fly ball before tumbling over backwards:...
