The Young Lakers Are Fucking This Up
LeBron James went down with a groin injury way back on Christmas Day.

Luke Walton Is The Latest To Realize That Lonzo Ball And Brandon Ingram Haven't Been That Good
A few days after Lakers fans booed second-year point guard Lonzo Ball for his Shaq-esque free throw shooting, Lakers coach Luke Walton offered his own pointed critique of his young would-be star.

Brewers Reliever Brandon Woodruff Bonked A Huge Dinger Off Clayton Kershaw

Brandon Ingram Electrifies Lakers Crowd With Uh Inbounds Defense, No Really
This should not be interpreted as proof that Brandon Ingram is Good now.

Jose Ramirez Utterly Baffled By Utility Man Brandon Dixon's 10th Straight Curveball

The Nationals Are Cracking Down On Their "Iffy Clubhouse Culture"
Nationals reliever Brandon Kintzler was one of the team’s few trade deadline casualties on Tuesday, traded to the Cubs for a Single-A prospect, a relative pittance given the all-star set-up man’s production this season. The Nats were in a weird, hybrid, buyer/seller mode, one that necessitated consi...

Cubs Reliever Brandon Morrow Says He Hurt Himself While Taking Off His Pants
The Cubs didn’t use closer Brandon Morrow in either of their games Tuesday against the Dodgers, instead relying on a bevy of other relievers.

Giants' Brandon Belt Works Historic 21-Pitch Plate Appearance, To No Avail
Brandon Belt of the Giants worked an insane 13-minute, 21-pitch plate appearance in the top of the first inning today, against Angels starter Jaime Barria. This strikes me as almost a troll move! Barria faced six batters in the inning, gave up three singles, and loaded the bases—he threw 28 pitches ...
Texans Sign Brandon Weeden Because They Learned <i>Nothing</i>
The Houston Texans have signed Brandon Weeden to back up Deshaun Watson and let us for the moment set aside the silliness of a certain unemployed QB remaining unemployed—Texans owner Bob McNair was deposed earlier this month in Colin Kaepernick’s collusion grievance against the NFL, so that wasn’t a...
