Every time I worry the American soccer press (Deadspin included) is being too hyperbolic in their praise and general hype for Christian Pulisic, he goes and assuages those fears with a marvelous performance. Consider today’s Bundesliga opener, which comes amid Ousmane Dembele’s transfer saga as well...
Byron Buxton Did Some More Crazy Road Runner Shit Last Night
The Minnesota Twins are part of that seven-team morass of mediocre teams crammed within three games of the second AL Wild Card spot, which means every game from here on in is an important one.

I Watched A Whole Preseason Game Like A Sucker
The starters only played one drive in the Eagles’ first preseason game last week, but there was still plenty to talk about afterward for Eagles fans.

Rockies Game Overrun By Charming Dogs
What’s better than baseball or dogs? Baseball and dogs. The Rockies held a Bark at the Park event last night, wherein canines barked at their park while the Rockies beat up on the Braves.
