Phillies' Sellout Streak, Which Was Fake Anyway, Ends At 257 Games
Last night, an announced crowd of 41,665 showed up to Citizen Bank Park to watch the listless Phillies put up a token effort against Atlanta, a 6-1 loss that put them 14 games out of a wild card spot. It was the smallest crowd of the year, and the first time since July 2009 the Phillies failed to se...
A.J. Pierzynski's Home Run Hit A Toddler Because Two Adults Got Themselves Out Of Harm's Way
You might have already seen this clip of A.J. Pierzynski going deep off Jason Isringhausen in the seventh inning yesterday afternoon, since Pierzynski set a White Sox record by homering in his fifth straight game.

Pat Sajak Somehow Ended Up On A Sidney Crosby Hockey Card
This O-Pee-Chee Crosby card, from the 11/12 set, was released last August. But apparently not until this weekend did someone notice that Pat Sajak is just chilling in the background—"someone" being Pat Himself....

This is what happens to a foul ball that gets hit into the stands at Coors Field in the late innings when no one's there to grab it.

Cubs Fan's Scoreboard Marriage Proposal Runs While His Girlfriend's In The Bathroom [Non-Pooping Update]
Poor Greg. All that money, time and emotional torture that went in to taking out a scoreboard message at yesterday's Cubs game asking his girlfriend to marry him. And then, after a half-hour long bottom of the fifth, just as the proposal was set to run, the girlfriend leaves her seat. (Perhaps she w...
70,000 Penn State Fans "Like" This Facebook Post Demanding An Apology From ESPN For "Dragging Joe Pa Through The Mud"
Every time we publish one of those "look at all these crazy Penn State fans" posts, Nittany Lions fans pour in with the complaints that the Paterno defenders and child rape-enabler deniers are a small but vocal faction and that the majority of the PSU community doesn't think that way. We're incline...
To Protect A Dan Snyder-Owned Radio Station, The Redskins Banned A Competing Station From Airing RG3's Press Conference
The Redskins are severely limiting Robert Griffin III's media exposure before the season starts. No chats after practices, no cameras at his locker—just one press conference a week, making six in all.

Zack Greinke Has Been Traded To The Angels
MLB just announced the deal, and Ken Rosenthal and Jon Morosi are saying the Angels are sending shortstop Jean Segura and two minor leaguers to Milwaukee. Safe to say the Brewers have given up on 2012, and the AL West race is going to be completely insane....

South Korea drew 0-0 with Mexico in an early but entertaining men's soccer match this morning, one with a result we think satisfied this fan—if only because it meant he could finally take that ridiculous thing off....
Yes, Theo Epstein's Accused Stalker Wore A Red Sox Shirt To Her Mental Competency Hearing
The Harvard-educated crazy lady who showed up in Chicago last week on Cubs GM Theo Epstein's doorstep can't sue us for calling her "crazy lady," it turns out.

Penn State Fan To TV Reporter About NCAA Sanctions: "It Was Our 9/11 Today. I Just Saw Planes Crashing Into Towers."
The NCAA's decision to essentially gut Penn State football yesterday meant TV stations and newspapers throughout Pennsylvania felt they had to swing into action. Their mission? Find someone, anyone, with some tie to Penn State to get a reaction. Local papers and TV stations love taking this shitty...
"I HOPE U ALL FUCKIN DIE" And Other Reasoned, Measured Responses To The NCAA's Penn State Punishment
The NCAA's announcement of penalties against Penn State football brought forth strong reactions—including our own—but none more, say, fervent than from those on social media. Here, then, are the most angry, sometimes regrettable, and generally depressing reactions from those on Twitter and Facebook...
Tiger's Errant Drive At 11 Today Created A Thundering Herd Of Freaks
A haphazard day for Tiger Woods continued at the par-five 11 this morning as his tee shot went well to the right, landing behind the gallery and creating a stampede of idiots desperate to get a glimpse of Tiger's golf ball. Our favorite is backpack guy, but there's plenty of gems to pick out in sl...
