We’re used to seeing soccer players and fans act despicably, but it’s pretty rare for a coach to jump into the fray of depressingly common shitheadery.

Rookie Kenta Maeda, Japan's Curse Upon MLB Hitters, Is The Damn Truth
The Dodgers rolled into Denver and beat the Rockies on Saturday 4-1, which itself is fairly humdrum.
