Jose Fernandez And Alex Wood Strike Out Everyone
Last night, the Marlins and Braves teamed up to do something that has never been done in the modern era: they combined to strike out 28 times in a nine inning game while failing to draw a single walk. After checking the math real quick, I believe that is an assload of strikeouts....

Homemade Tomato Soup Is Easier (And Better) Than You Think
Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. Totino's Pizza Rolls. Campbell's Tomato Soup. These are all delicious, if corporate and perhaps a touch neon, foodstuffs. No snobbism here: I love these things, and it's pretttty likely that you—yes, you there, you reading this—love them, too. They're comforting. They're eas...

Get It Together, Avril Lavigne
This is a tough one. Below, please find "Hello Kitty," the new video from Canadian pop superstar Avril Lavigne, who will turn 30 this year, a fact not abundantly in evidence given the ear-abasing nature of the track (Skrillex' Inferno, basically) and the society-abasing depiction of modern Japan as ...

Marathon Runners Carrying Competitor Across Finish Line? Didn't Happen.
You may have heard the inspirational story yesterday about a Boston Marathon runner who collapsed just short of the finish and was unable to continue, but found himself carried across the line by four fellow runners.

Matt Harvey Tweets Bird-Flipping Picture, Immediately Deletes Account
Mets pitcher Matt Harvey tweeted out this picture today as a way to mark the six-month anniversary of his Tommy John surgery. It's a silly and harmless picture, but Harvey, or someone within the Mets organization, thought that its existence was offensive enough to warrant Harvey deleting his entire ...
Boston Hangover: A Sobering Preview Of The Next US Olympic Marathon Team
If Meb's intoxicating win in Boston yesterday has you buzzed enough to believe that the US is back on top of the marathon world, you'd better grab some Tylenol: Our three best prospects for the 2016 Olympics are a 41-year old and two guys who have never run a marathon....
Matt Cooke And The Myth Of Reform
Colorado's two-way defenseman Tyson Barrie, who's been one of this series's best players, will miss the next four-to-six weeks with an MCL injury after this knee-on-knee hit from Matt Cooke.

Seth Wold Actually Ran OK
Everyman Seth Wold, who ran with the elite men for the first few miles of the 2014 Boston Marathon, did not have various internal organs go into failure. Rather, after he'd gotten his fill of glory, he jogged it in for a respectable 2 hours, 49 minutes, and 43 seconds, finishing 927th. ...

Guy Who Got Himself On TV At Start Of Boston Marathon Finished 927th
This guy, Seth Wold, ran fast enough to catch up to the elite runners in the Boston Marathon and actually was in the lead for a short while. After two-and-a-half miles, though, he slacked his and finished the race with an unofficial time of 2:49:43. ...
