Remember When Pedro Martinez Struck Out 17 Yankees?
Pedro Martinez is being inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame today, alongside Randy Johnson, John Smoltz, and Craig Biggio. As a tribute to one of the greatest, funniest, most dominant, most quote-worthy players of all time, let’s watch him strike out a bunch of Yankees in a complete game one-hit...
Colin Cowherd Is Mad We Didn't Run His Full Racist Musings, So Here
Colin Cowherd, a sock a teenage boy keeps under his mattress, is irritated. Yesterday, he said racist shit about how stupid and uneducated Dominicans are on his radio show. He feels that we took those comments out of context in a post we ran yesterday....
Alex Rodriguez Is Old And Fun
I don’t watch many Yankees games because the Yankees are whatever, but I had a game on Wednesday evening for the sake of background noise, which means I got to see Alex Rodriguez hit his 20th homer of the season:...

Report: The MLBPA Is Seriously Pissed Off At Colin Cowherd [UPDATES]
Sourdough fuckboy Colin Cowherd said some dumb, racist shit about Dominicans on his show yesterday, and now, according to a USA Today report, the MLB players’ union is feeling pretty heated about the whole thing....
Here's A Bartolo Colon GIF To Brighten Up Your Friday
Clayton Kershaw rolled into Queens last night and took a katana to the Mets’ lineup, striking out 11 and allowing just three hits in nine shutout innings. But whatever, the real star of the show (as usual) was Bartolo Colon....
Astros Trade For Scott Kazmir, Are Going For The Whole Damn Thing
The Houston Astros, who this time last year were churning through a 92-loss season, but have suddenly become a team to be reckoned with in 2015, just swung the first big trade of the season. They are acquiring starting pitcher Scott Kazmir from the A’s in exchange for prospects Daniel Mengden and Ja...
The Diamondbacks Are Still Jerks
Former GM Kevin Towers and Kirk “Grit Lord” Gibson aren’t around to urge players to throw baseballs at people in meaningless acts of revenge, but that doesn’t mean the Diamondbacks have totally done away with the Hard Baseball Man ethos. See last night’s game against the Marlins....
Baseball Children Owned So Hard By Food
Children are dumb and uncoordinated, and also fun to laugh at when they are being dumb and uncoordinated. If you think I’m mean for saying that, it’s probably because you are an idiot or a baby (no offense). Anyway, look at this dummy:...
Canadians Angry After Being Told They Smell Like Maple Syrup
In Monday’s writeup of Canada’s baseball team defeating the United States in the Pan American Games, I made some jokes at the expense of the gold-medal winners. Specifically, I said they suck and probably smell like maple syrup. Tuesday, I followed up with a recap of Canada’s gold in women’s basketb...
Aaron Nola Gives Up First Career Home Run To Opposing Pitcher
The baseball season is 162 games long and every possible number is tracked, leading to quirky statistical anomalies. These aren’t particularly insightful or important but they’re fun, and part of what make baseball, baseball. ...
Tim Lincecum Diagnosed With Degenerative Hips
Tim Lincecum hasn’t pitched since he took a liner off the forearm during a start on June 27, and now it’s looking like he’s going to have even more trouble getting back on the field. After receiving an MRI on Monday, doctors found what Giants head coach Bruce Bochy referred to as “degenerative thing...
Brandon Phillips's Absurd Sliding Stop, Behind-The-Back Flip Ends Inning
Brandon Phillips is one of the better defensive players at his position, and plays like this are a big reason why: ...
Alcides Escobar Really Threw The Dick Off The Ball Yesterday
During yesterday’s rain delay at the scheduled Angels-Red Sox game, ESPN threw to a live version of SportsCenter, which is always fun for the chaos a live, highly produced news show always produces. But instead of bad jokes and dead air, the show was basically just a bunch of Alcides Escobar highlig...
The United States Lost At Baseball
Stupid Canada....
Bryce Harper Doesn't Think Zack Greinke Is All That Impressive
Dodgers starter Zack Greinke is on a hell of a roll right now, having not allowed an earned run in his last 43 and two-thirds innings. He extended his streak of scoreless innings—the most since Orel Hersheiser pitched 59 straight shutout frames in 1988—with a dominant outing against the Nationals ye...
The View From The Top Of The Astros' Stadium Is Really Something
Instagram user @HoustonHeroe’s schtick seems to be climbing up really tall buildings in Houston and then taking pictures from high-up vantage points. That’s pretty dangerous, but I suppose I can get down with it. ...
Let's Remember Some Guys
We were looking at a list of MLB players who have hit for the cycle, and noticed that Jody Gerut is on that list. Maybe you’ve forgotten about Jody Gerut :( But now you remember him. Let’s remember some other guys:...
This Was The Absolute Worst Time For A Pie In The Face
Over at Grantland, Michael Schur shared a fantastic piece of old footage for a barren sports day like today. Las Vegas Stars designated hitter Joe Vitiello was being interviewed at the 2000 Triple-A All-Star Game after going 3 for 3 at the plate. Schur’s right when he says you have to watch the full...
Mike Trout, American League Win All-Star Game, 6-3
Mike Trout was named All-Star Game MVP for the second consecutive year as the American League beat the National League 6-3 to secure home field advantage in the World Series....
Hey, The Home Run Derby Was Pretty Fun!
We thought the new Home Run Derby format sounded good, and it turns out that it was. In a scene straight out of an MLB marketer’s daydream, longtime Cincinnati Red Todd Frazier won in bonus time over Joc Pederson, the most exciting Home Run Derby in years. ...
