No Sexy Hangers: The Ask A Clean Person Holiday Gift Guide Rejects
Each year since I became a professional Clean Person—as opposed to what I was prior to that, which was a regular old compulsively clean and weirdly knowledgeable person—I've taken great joy from compiling a guide of holiday gifts to give to loved ones, clean or dirty. This year's version appears o...
Rangers Beat Penguins In A Shootout, Then Don't
The Rangers and Penguins quickly exited the ice last night after Dan Boyle seemingly earned the 3-2 New York win with his shootout goal, but both teams had to scramble back when officials reviewed the replay and took away Boyle's winner....
Liverpool Still Rely On A Player They No Longer Have
On Saturday, Liverpool dominated midtable side Hull City, but couldn't find the back of the net. Though they came close to stealing all three points with a late flurry, the match finished a scoreless draw. It was Liverpool's best performance of a nightmare week....
Angry Tennis Player Flings Racket; Lineswoman Nearly Dies Of Fright
One possible headline to this post could be "Frustrated Tennis Player Smokes Lineswoman With Racket," but that wouldn't be entirely accurate. Darian King did wheel around and chuck his racket after losing a crucial point, and it did hit the nearby lineswoman, but it's pretty obviously accidental....
FA Charges Rio Ferdinand With Misconduct, Probably For "Yo Mama" Joke
The English FA can't really be this uptight, can they? Today, the Premier League's governing body has announced that it has charged QPR's Rio Ferdinand with misconduct for a Tweet of his, without mentioning the specific one. It appears that it is this little bit of humor, sent to a bantering Mancu...
Fans Of The TV Show Castle Angry At Sports
In the bottom of the eighth inning of the first game of the ALDS series between the Baltimore Orioles and Detroit Tigers, the Orioles offense went gangbusters and sent 14 players to the plate as well as prompting three pitching changes. This took a long time, so the Los Angeles Angels-Kansas City Ro...
Guilder Rodríguez Gets First Big League Hit After 1,095 Games In Minors
Baseball's expanded September rosters are mostly just useful for letting fans of non-contending teams get a glimpse of the future. But two weeks ago the Texas Rangers did something pretty cool: they called up 31 year old utility infielder Guilder Rodríguez, who had played 1,095 games with ten diff...
Mike Trout Somehow Touches Adrian Beltre's Head With No Resistance
You might want to sit down for this. After hitting a triple last night, Angels outfielder Mike Trout chatted with Adrian Beltre, and touched the Rangers third baseman's head without him getting mad....
Ron Washington Acknowledges Infidelity, Doesn't Explain Why He Resigned
Ron Washington resigned abruptly as Rangers manager on Sept. 5, with GM Jon Daniels offering only that it was "not drug-related." At a press conference today, Washington offered the tiniest sliver of explanation—and a big red flag that something worse is hanging over his head....
Soccer's Faulty New Money Rule Hurts The Clubs It Was Meant To Protect
Queens Park Rangers are the latest victim of Financial Fair Play, the laudably-aimed yet poorly calibrated rules which are in theory meant to keep teams solvent but in practice keep them from sensibly spending to improve their position, or even from spending money they actually have. Yesterday, Engl...
Ron Washington Resigns As Rangers Manager For "Personal Matter"
Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington unexpectedly resigned from his position today, citing the desire to "devote my full attention to addressing an off-the-field personal matter."...
An Adrian Beltre Head-Touching Attempt, Foiled

Adrian Beltre And Elvis Andrus Continue To Be Hilarious
Adrian Beltre and Elvis Andrus, who are basically baseball's version of a buddy-cop duo at this point, put on another one of their comedy routines last night. After Andrus floated over to his right to field a pop fly in Beltre's territory, the two had a little tête-à-tête about who exactly needs...
Challenger Emerges For Worst First Pitch Ever: Miss Texas
Replicating this to any degree of exactitude could actually be a contestant's talent routine in a beauty pageant. Miss Texas Monique Evans's form, a horse mascot, and most importantly, the perfect watching-a-car-drive-by reaction, all make this an incredibly rare and difficult feat. ...
Justin Verlander And "Justin Verlander," Just Hangin' Out
This gem was taken during the Tigers-Diamondbacks series in July, according to reader Ed. Somehow, the real Justin Verlander is the least Verlander-looking person in the photo. ...
Adam Dunn Pitched In A Game Tuesday Night
If there is a silver lining to a 15-0 game, it's the possibility that you might see something absurd, like watching a bear-man with 457 career home runs pitch in the ninth inning. Adam Dunn was called in to pitch the final inning for the White Sox tonight in a Rangers blowout. In one inning of wor...
The Rangers Cap Off Rough Sixth Inning With Outfield Beanball
The Yankees scored seven runs in the sixth inning, the last coming thanks to this fielding miscue in right-center field. Alex Rios looks like he had a bead on a fly ball from Brett Gardner, but closes his glove too soon, causing it to bounce into centerfielder Leonys Martin and ricochet off his skul...
Brett Gardner Only Hits Home Runs Against Yu Darvish
Until Brett Gardner's seventh-inning single off Darvish, that headline was actually not hyperbole; it was fact. He had four career hits in 10 at-bats against Darvish, all home runs....
Colby Lewis Mad At Opponent For Trying To Help His Team Win
Another day, another MLB player upset over something totally benign....
Rangers, Blue Jays Baffled At The Sight Of Birds
We're used to seeing weird things happen on the baseball field. From idiots running onto the field for a selfie to the destruction of life via a Randy Johnson pitch, you would think nothing should surprise anyone. ...
