Jeremy Guthrie Was On The Lookout For Beer-Tossing Jays Fans
The umpires needed a replay review to figure out that Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar was hit by a pitch during the second inning of last night’s Royals-Blue Jays game, and Royals pitcher Jeremy Guthrie immediately thought of what happened the last time the Jays’ home crowd saw their team get screw...
The Blue Jays' Pitching Was So Bad They Had A Position Player Take The Mound
Here is how ugly things were for the Blue Jays tonight: Cliff Pennington, the Jays’ utility infielder, came in to pitch in the ninth. According to Elias he became the first exclusive position player to pitch in the postseason, and it went about as well as expected. In one-third of an inning Penningt...
The Royals Have Reopened The Blue Jays Sign-Stealing Controversy
A playoff series is always improved when one team is willing to talk some mess between games, so we thank the Royals for dusting off the old “The Blue Jays steal signs!” conspiracy theory....
That Troy Tulowitzki Ejection Sure Was Strange
MLB is lucky last night’s Royals-Blue Jays game was a victory for the Jays, because if the Royals had pulled ahead late and Troy Tulowitzki hadn’t been there to bat in the bottom of the ninth, all of Canada would be calling for home plate umpire John Hirschbeck’s head....
The Blue Jays Bludgeoned the Royals In Just Two Innings
The Royals traded for Johnny Cueto to be their postseason ace, and in the deciding Game 5 of the ALDS he was exactly that, giving up just two runs across eight innings in the 7-2 victory. The Royals didn’t need Cueto to be that good tonight, but they did need him to avoid pitching putridly. He wasn’...
Manchester United Are (Sort Of) For Real, Apparently
By losing to a surprisingly rampant Arsenal in their previous league game before the international break, Manchester United more or less confirmed our sneaking suspicions about this team’s place in the EPL hierarchy. Their spot in the table may make them technically contenders but there still remain...
David Price Was Perfect, Right Up Until The Royals Comeback
On the first pitch of Game 2 of the ALCS today, Alcides Escobar singled to right field off David Price. It was an inauspicious start for Price, yet after that pitch, he would retire the next 18 batters. It was the best pitching he’d ever done in the playoffs....

Edinson Volquez Shut The Blue Jays Down By Doing What Made Him Feel Sexy
Edinson Volquez has a history of struggling in the playoffs. Before last night, the Royals pitcher was 0-3 in three postseason starts with the Reds, Pirates, and Royals, with a Jose Lima-esque 8.67 ERA. The power-hitting Blue Jays are the most offensively talented team left in baseball, yet Volquez ...

Sports Baby Goes Down
Jonny Gomes is a good daddy, and he celebrated tonight’s victory over the Astros by swinging one of his daughters around the pitcher’s mound. It looks like fun! Unfortunately, he didn’t see Jason Vargas’s kid running towards them and, uh, you’ll totally believe what happens next: ...
Getting A Little Ahead Of Yourself There, Governor
The Houston Astros, who just lost Game 4 of the ALDS 9-6, were up by five runs on the Royals in the seventh inning. That’s when Texas Governor Greg Abbott decided to send a very bad tweet....
Replay Is Turning Baseball Into Football And I Hate It
The play above was a crucial moment in today’s ALDS game between the Royals and Astros. Down 3-2 with two outs in the top of the seventh, Royals pinch runner Terrance Gore attempted to steal third base. Despite beating the throw and the tag easily, Gore was called out—not because the umpire blew the...
Chiefs Fans Scrap It Out In Stadium Bathroom
Was someone trying to cut? Did one of them dribble on the other guy’s shoes? Did they wash their hands after? Why is one of the numerous Break It Up Guys wearing flip flops? So many questions, so few answers....
Jamaal Charles Goes Down With Scary Knee Injury (UPDATES)
Jamaal Charles went down without contact after he tried to cut into a hole, which he fell before he could get to, in the third quarter of today’s game against the Bears.

Man City Academy Kids Flee, Return, Flee Again From Nutmeg Master's Skills

These Manchester City academy players repeatedly exhibit this behavior, which in itself is evidence e...
