White Sox Enthusiast Enjoys Game
The Chicago White Sox defeated the Cleveland Indians 6-2 Sunday to improve their home record to 3-5. A portly fellow in a Paul Konerko jersey celebrated the win by invading the field in the ninth inning....
Get A Load Of The<i> Washington Post</i> Toting Water For Dan Snyder's Upcoming Stadium Scam
Nothing in this fawning Washington Post profile of Bruce Allen, team president of D.C.’s NFL franchise, would seem so much as a hair out of place in a glossy gameday program handed out by team employees inside the home stadium. To the extent it contains a thesis more complex than Bruce Allen is good...
Lionel Messi Turned A Meaningless <i>Clásico</i> Into One For The Ages<em></em>
Barcelona probably won’t win anything significant this season. They remain underdogs for the league title, were ousted from the Champions League by Juventus after surviving the Paris Saint-Germain tie by the skin of their teeth, and can only really count on a Copa del Rey consolation prize to cap of...
Watch Out For Bits Of Golf Ball In Your Hash Browns
In what would be the ideal alarmist story for a local news program to tease at the top of the show, McCain Foods announced a voluntary recall Friday for packages of frozen hash browns that “may be contaminated with extraneous golf ball materials.” A classic mixup....
Hall Of Famer Ilie Nastase Suspended From Tennis For Sexist And Racist Comments
Ilie Nastase is best known as a former world No. 1 who won the U.S. Open in 1972 and rolled through the 1973 French Open without dropping a set, becoming the first man to complete that feat. He is now the captain of Romania’s Fed Cup team, and made some much uglier additions to his résumé at a compe...
Phillies Smack Three Honkin' Taters In A Row<em></em>
The Phillies, who haven’t finished above .500 since 2011, are actually making the early part of this season interesting—or at least, entertaining—for their fans. Granted: it’s still April, there’s essentially no chance of them catching the Nationals at any point over the next five months, and their ...
The Rockets Were Straight Up Laughing At Andre Roberson
Professional athletes do and say a lot of mean things to each other over the course of a game, but I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen anything as disrespectful as the Rockets’ bench treating Andre Roberson’s bricked free throw into a live comedy special....
Russell Westbrook Wasn't Talking To You
Russell Westbrook and Steven Adams shared a postgame podium after yesterday’s loss to the Rockets. The first question came from Westbrook’s old rival, Berry Tramel, and even though it was addressed to Adams, it was Westbrook’s time to shine....
Clarke MacArthur Isn't Here For The Feel-Good Story
A few months ago, Clarke MacArthur was thinking about retiring. He didn’t know if he’d ever be cleared to play hockey again, and even if he were, he didn’t know if it would be safe. Now he’s a huge reason the Senators are moving on....
Red Sox Flub Stupid Attempt To Follow Dumb Unwritten Rule
The Red Sox gloriously botched an attempt to stupidly retaliate at Manny Machado for a hard slide that unintentionally spiked Dustin Pedroia on Friday. Reliever Matt Barnes tried throwing a 90-mph pitch directly at Machado’s head in the eighth inning......
Cavaliers Sweep As Pacers' Late Comeback Attempt Falls Short
After trailing the Cavaliers for most of today, the Pacers managed to come back and tie Game 4 with two and a half minutes remaining before taking their first second-half lead on a Thaddeus Young tip shot with 1:30 left—but LeBron answered with his first and only three-pointer of the game, and India...
Something's Off With Kenta Maeda
Kenta Maeda’s start to the season has been, to put it simply, pretty ugly. In four games so far, he’s failed to make it past the fifth inning; last night’s performance was the worst yet, allowing six runs and putting 10 men on base. Now, the Dodgers are saying that they might skip his next start in ...

The Warriors Got The Blazers' Hopes Up, And Then They Killed Them In Four Minutes
Exactly halfway through the third quarter against the Trail Blazers last night, the Warriors were down by 14 points. After four more minutes of play, they had a two-point lead, and from there, they didn’t look back. ...
Things Are Not Good For The Blue Jays, Who Are Starting A 29-Year-Old Rookie Tonight
Most of the panic around the Blue Jays and their major-league-worst record of 4-12 has focused on their offense, and rightfully so—they’ve been the worst in baseball, with a collective slash line of .215./.283/.323. Three weeks into the season, their team offensive WAR is a negative number. (There a...
