The Mets Have A Matt Harvey Problem
It’s as if some higher power looked at the NL East standings, noticed the Mets’ six-game lead on the Nationals, said, “Things can’t possibly be going this perfectly for the goddamn Mets!” and then put CBS Sports’ Jon Heyman on the phone with Scott Boras and Mets GM Sandy Alderson....
Jason Pierre-Paul Will Return To The Giants

Bryce Harper Scores Four Runs Without Ever Recording An Official At-Bat
That’s Bryce Harper with what I assume is a bored look on his face while standing on base. He did that a lot tonight. ...
Skins Ban Non-Season Ticket Holders From Using Will Call
I was actively hoping I wouldn’t be writing about Washington’s football team again tonight, but they seem to be unable to keep themselves out of the news. Which would be an admirable trait, if it were ever for something positive. ...
Scoundrel Mountain: The Sordid, Untold History Of The Pitching Mound
The modern Baseball pitcher utilizes myriad sleights of hand in his quest to fool and demoralize the slugger. Taunts, curses, incantations. Foreign substances added to the ball, including but not limited to urine and faeces (both human and animal) or reproductive fluids (both human and animal). Divi...
Sleeping Fan Jolted Awake By Chris Davis's Walk-Off Homer
Chris Davis hit two home runs last night, one of them being a walk-off bomb in the bottom of the 11th inning. That’s great for Chris Davis, but what we’re really here to discuss is the fan at the center of the image above. ...
Someone Appears To Be Trying To Hoax The Marlins President Out Of His Job
When the Miami Marlins sent Marcell Ozuna to the minors on July 5, there was more in play than just giving the slumping third-year outfielder a chance “to get his rhythm back,” as Ozuna’s agent Scott Boras said he was told. Whether Ozuna becomes eligible for arbitration after this season or next dep...
A Who's On First Email Exchange With Hapless Skins PR Boss Tony Wyllie (UPDATE)
Earlier tonight, the Washington football team released a statement on behalf of GM Scot McCloughan’s wife Jessica, apologizing for having sent tweets accusing an ESPN reporter of trading sexual favors for access.

It's A Joy To Watch Josh Donaldson Tag Up
Josh Donaldson probably shouldn’t have tried tagging up here. This ball was hit to extremely shallow center field, and a good throw (or a momentum-aided one from one of the outfielders) probably nails him. But he decided to run, and instead we get to see one of the better tag-avoiding slides you’ll ...

U.S. Soccer Continues To Sabotage Soccer In The U.S.
I’m like every other flag-loving USMNT fan; I liked the hiring of accomplished manager Jürgen Klinsmann, I root for our individual players when they trek overseas, and I lose my shit when the national team wins even fairly meaningless matches....
Classic Man: Make Your Own Deodorant
Frequently in this space, we will consult a different entry in the 1987 book The Modern Man’s Guide to Life to see how the advice therein has aged. Previously, we talked baths for girls; today, we’re exploring the idea of homemade deodorant. ...
The New Miley Cyrus Record Is Exhausting, But Might Be Worth It Anyway
So what we’ve got here is Miley Cyrus singing a morbid piano ballad called “Pablow the Blowfish.” She’s wearing fluffy unicorn pajamas and playing an electric piano in an ersatz cornfield; additional props include a stuffed unicorn on a stool and an inflatable Super Mario Bros. power-up mushroom. Ve...
