The Weed That Came To Chris Perez's House Was Addressed To His Dog
The standard athlete-busted-for-misdemeanor-weed-possession story is one that's rarely fun to study.

Spurs Beat Grizzlies; All Anyone Cares About Is "We Did It" Guy
Memphis came back from a mighty deficit to force overtime in San Antonio (thanks to a questionable late flagrant foul call) but couldn't pull out the victory. It led one fan nearby to issue quite the verbal ejaculation. Deadspin I-Team, assemble....

Quick, Everyone Notice That Mark Reynolds Leads The AL In Homers
With his 12th tater of the 2013 season, a guy named Mark Reynolds took over the lead in the American League in home runs. Mark Reynolds plays for the Cleveland Indians, which is why you can be forgiven for having no idea who Mark Reynolds is. But that doesn't bother Mark Reynolds....

Peter Gammons: Angel Hernandez Blew That Call After Ignoring The Replay
Peter Gammons went on Dan Patrick's radio show to talk about umpire Angel Hernandez's egregious blown call from Wednesday night's A's-Indians game.

Nick Swisher Still Doing Nick Swisher

AHL Game Ends With Brawl On The Bench
The last time we checked in with the AHL's Rockford IceHogs, they were "celebrating" Hispanic Heritage Weekend by slapping a sombrero and a mustache on their mascot. Last night, they traded racism for goonery, starting a massive brawl at the end of a 2-1 victory over the Chicago Wolves....

Dennis Rodman Is Going To North Korea, <i>The</i> Dennis Rodman Is Going To <i>The</i> North Korea
There's not much time so listen up. Go to the grocery store. Buy a bunch of canned items and non-perishable goods. Fig Newtons? I don't know. Chef Boyardee or something. Just get food. Also, buy a whole shitload of water. And even more pots to hold extra water....

The Third Weird Baseball Injury Of 2013: Washington Nationals Pitcher Gio Gonzalez Got Rug Burn On His Forehead From His Dog
Not really sure what else there is to say that hasn't already been said. This is weird, an injury—technically—and it is baseball-related. Oh, and it happened in 2013.
