Topps Puts Pitcher's Season-Ending Injury On His Baseball Card

Matt Cassel And Kevin Kolb Are Getting Cut

It's the end of two eras. Two sad, frustrating eras marked with wasted promise and ill-advised trades and inept quarterbacking.

Brandon McCarthy Tells Columnist Not To Call Him A "Grinder," Columnist Misses Point

The Arizona Diamondbacks spent the offseason transforming into baseball's most complete collection of gritty players who really know how to get out there and scrap and grind and chop it up.

Is Trevor Bauer's Terrible New Rap Song A Diss Track Directed At Miguel Montero?

Trevor Bauer is one of the most highly touted pitching prospects in baseball. He is also a terrible, terrible rapper and possibly kind of a dick.

Arizona's Justification For Trading Justin Upton Is Insufferable

The Arizona Diamondbacks' decision to trade Justin Upton to the Atlanta Braves for Martin Prado, Randall Delgado, and a handful of prospects is a curious one.

Todd Haley Is Giving One Reporter A Giant Headache

We like NFL.com's Ian Rapoport—good guy, good sources, good track record. But nobody deserves the head-spinning confusion he's dealing with today, thanks to Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley, who might be interviewing for the Arizona Cardinals head coaching gig. Or he might not be. Or maybe ...

Colorado guard Sabatino Chen—who came into tonight's game averaging just 4.1 points per game—hit a buzzer-beater in Tucson to down third-ranked Arizona, only to find referees waving it off after a video review that appeared to back up the original call on the court of a good shot....
