Atlanta-Milwaukee Brawl Was Brewing For Three Months
An awful lot to unpack from last night's Brewers-Braves bench-clearing scrum/fracas/donnybrook/other term that only gets used for baseball near-brawls. It started after Carlos Gomez took his time rounding the bases after homering off Paul Maholm, jawing at three different Braves along the way. But i...
Giancarlo Stanton Hit A Baseball Pretty Goddamned Far
The Marlins may be a festering pile of Jeffrey Loria's shit, but they still have Giancarlo Stanton on the roster. It's a welcome presence because at least someone in the organization is capable of reaching the brass ring beyond "total embarrassment to humanity." ...
Jayson Werth Reacts To Super-Slow Pitch As If He Saw A Ghost
By the time Jayson Werth came to the plate in the fifth, he had already homered, and the Nationals had already chased Cubs starter Jake Arrieta.

Why The Hell Didn't The Phillies Make A Trade?
I can think of only two reasons why Michael Young and Carlos Ruiz are still Phillies today: Either Ruben Amaro didn't realize yesterday was the trade deadline, or his afternoon nap was poorly timed....

Carlos Gomez Steals Go-Ahead Home Run On Leaping Catch For Final Out
This is a pretty impressive way to end a baseball game. With two out in the top of the ninth and closer Francisco Rodriguez on the mound for the Brewers, Joey Votto sends K-Rod's 2-2 offering deep to center field for what looked to be a two-run home run that would give the Reds a 5-4 lead. ...

Fare Thee Well, Carlos Marmol And Your Extreme Aversion To Contact

He invariably has a big fastball, and a secondary pitch that toggles between "unhittable" and "so hittable it might as well have been tossed underhand by Coach Fred at little-lea...
Puerto Rican League Game Delayed When Players' Families Start Fighting
We are actually big fans of Baloncesto Superior Nacional, the Puerto Rican professional basketball league that's become somewhat of a summer league stop-over for sub-NBA pro ballers. (Games are aired live on local TV here in St. Petersburg.) Last night's Humacao-Carolina vs. Ponce game, though, got...
The Black Berets: Red Smith On The Olympic Black Power Salute
Red Smith is the most respected sports columnist we've ever had. In his prime, Jimmy Cannon, Smith's friendly rival, was certainly as well-known. Cannon, the Voice of New York, was an emotional, colloquial writer whose reputation, unfortunately, has faded. But Smith endures. What is it about his wri...
