Case in point, we have this young Rangers supporter named Luke, who figured that instead of just reaching into his mouth and yanking out some...

Josh Reddick Rips A Go-Ahead Three-Run Jack Back From The Land Of Dingers
This insane Josh Reddick catch may not have quite the stakes of Jackie Bradley Jr.’s latest ridiculous highlight, but there was plenty on the line, and anyway the catch is molto buono, my friends. Molto, molto buono. You can’t see this, but I am doing the chef’s kiss as I watch it:...

Goalkeeper Pulls Off The Rare Cheap Shot-Flop-Red Card Trifecta

Rangers Teammates Celebrate Two-Run Dong By Grabbing Each Other's Dingers
It’d be safe to assume that Joey Gallo and Nomar Mazara are friends, as they’ve played on the Texas Rangers together for four seasons and love to mash taters, but as this post-homer celebration shows, they’re really good friends....

Mike Trout Absolutely Wore Out The Rangers

In Anaheim, Bees
A swarm of bees took over the bullpens in Sunday’s match up between the Angels and Rangers.

Joey Gallo Nearly Decapitates His Pitcher While Trying To Throw Out A Runner
I mean, yeah, nobody likes Joey Gallo for his defense. The Rangers outfielder is a man whose dingers are to be admired and whose mediocrity in the outfield is to be ignored if you want to fully enjoy him as a player. But somebody’s gotta play out in left for Texas, even if he represents a grave dang...

Sports Are For Crying Because Your Friend Got Traded Away
Professional sports are a job, but in many ways very much unlike other jobs. Your teammates are more than co-workers; you work together, but you also socialize together, travel together, practically (and sometimes literally) live together. For half of the season you’re on the road together, sharing ...

Sabres' Kyle Okposo Knocked Out Of Game After Taking One Punch From Rangers' Tony DeAngelo<em></em>
With just over 12 minutes remaining in the third period, Tony DeAngelo took exception to a hit Kyle Okposo laid down on one of DeAngelo’s teammates and threw down his gloves.

Don't Get Too Hopeful About James Dolan Selling The Knicks
There’s a whole lot to chew on (and possibly also retch up) in ESPN reporter Ian O’Connor’s substantial profile of James Dolan up today. Over the course of a two-hour interview, Dolan faced good, tough questions and responded at surprising length. He also displayed his trademark sensitivity and tho...

Elvis Andrus's Best Friend Retires
Adrian Beltre, who played for four major-league teams over 21 seasons, announced his retirement Tuesday.

Was Anyone Even <i>Trying</i> To Stop Neal Pionk On This Goal?
This goal looks straight out of a movie. In a 4-on-4 with under three minutes to go in a tie game, a little-known defenseman—in this case New York Rangers kid Neal Pionk—takes the puck from behind his own net and just ... continues with it until he scores the game-winner. It shouldn’t be possible in...

The International Gymnastics Federation Bans Cat Makeup For Gymnasts
This morning, gymnastics fans awoke to the news that the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) had solved one of the most pressing problems facing the sport.

Shohei Ohtani, Who Needs Tommy John Surgery, Is Still Out Here Smashing Dingers
Tommy John surgery—which Angels pitcher/DH Shohei Ohtani is supposed to receive, per a team announcement today—will steal a whole year from a dominant hurler in his prime. But UCL damage won’t necessarily hold back a good hitter. And luckily for all of us, what could be devastating news for any othe...

Adrian Beltre Crushes Homer, Gets His Head Touched, Reacts Accordingly
The 39-year-old version of Adrian Beltre has more hamstring injuries and isn’t as powerful as his previous iterations, but when he connects on a pitch, it sounds lovely. And regardless of his age, the Rangers third baseman will always have the same reaction when someone tries to touch his head....
