Hockey Players Photobombed By The Queen Of England
Australian field hockey players Jayde Taylor and Brooke Peris are in Glasgow, Scotland, for the Commonwealth Games, and earlier today posted a photo with an unexpected guest to Twitter.

MLB Had The Highest Rated All-Star Game In Sports This Year
This year's MLB All-Star Game was the most watched since 2010 making it the highest rated All-Star event among pro sports this year, according to Forbes. This seems remarkable—but it isn't just a one-year Jeter spike. ...
The All-Star Game "In Memoriam" Montage We Should Have Gotten
MLB and Fox came under fire for not mentioning Tony Gwynn during the all-star game broadcast, and responded with a joint statement explaining that by singling out one recently passed ballplayer for recognition, it could be a slight to others. Well, here's the perfect solution....
Baseball Player Doesn't Watch Baseball: "It's Too Long And Boring"
Among the things I learned about Anthony Rendon from this Washington Post article, it's that the young Nationals infielder doesn't seem to like baseball all that much....
Hacking Still Sucks: On <em>Watch Dogs</em> And Next-Gen-Console Malaise
The promise of Watch Dogs was simple, and explained much of the anticipation leading up to the wantonly hyped prestige video game's May release: Finally—finally! (finally?)—someone was going to make hacking cool. In this case, it was the developer Ubisoft, whose ambition to make coding as engrossi...
Derek Jeter And Todd Frazier, Together Again After 16 Years
My jerk coworkers won't understand, but Derek Jeter does represent something to Yankee fans of a certain age. Like me! Over the course of his career, baseball players went from grown men I admired to people who are now younger than me. These two pictures, of Jeter posing with Reds 3B Todd Frazier 16...

This Is What Happens When You Try To Bare-Hand A Giancarlo Stanton Homer [Update]
This hand belongs to some poor bastard who attended Monday night's MLB home run derby, where he tried to catch a Giancarlo Stanton tater with his bare hand. Honestly, I'm sort of surprised this hand isn't in worse shape. I mean, have you seen Giancarlo Stanton hit a baseball?...
Derek Jeter And Adam Wainwright Saved The All-Star Game
The silly, silly controversy over whether Adam Wainright gave Derek Jeter "a couple of pipe shots" is a great thing. Not necessarily the act itself, nor the discussion over it, in which people seem upset not that it happened but that Wainwright didn't lie about it, or even the immediate fallout, w...
Padres Tweet Tony Gwynn Tribute After All-Star Game
So, is this a swipe at FOX and MLB for not even mentioning Tony Gwynn during tonight's broadcast? Or just the Padres recognizing Mr. Padre at a time when baseball has the spotlight? ...
All 100 Times Jeter's Name Was Mentioned On Fox—And All Zero Of Gwynn's
Lest you forget, Fox was sure to make you aware that this is Derek Jeter's final season in the majors. The Captain's name was spoken no fewer than 100 times on tonight's All-Star Game broadcast, but at what cost? That of remembering people like Tony Gwynn, Don Zimmer, or Bob Welch—none of whom were ...
Adam Wainwright Had To Apologize For Saying He Grooved A Pitch To Jeter
This is insane. Adam Wainwright made a comment to reporters after his outing was complete that he grooved Derek Jeter a couple of meatballs. It was harmless. Then it became a thing because Derek Jeter has to get All-Star Game hits on the level? I literally have no idea. But then, Adam Wainwright s...
Dee Gordon And Freddie Freeman Combine For Pretty Defensive Play
Dee Gordon showed off his considerable range and Freddie Freeman showed off his considerable flexibility to retire Michael Brantley and get the National League out of the sixth inning. ...
Here's The Derek Jeter Farewell At The All-Star Game
John Farrell waited for the American League to take the field in the top of the fourth inning so he could remove Jeter from the game and give the crowd a proper chance to send off Jeter. It was a nice moment, Jeter tipped his cap (face) to the crowd, the players, and the coaches. He then went into...
MLB Network Host Told Trout Before Game He'd Triple Home Derek Jeter
MLB Network host Greg Amsinger spoke with Angels slugger Mike Trout during today's pre-game festivities, and jokingly told the All-Star outfielder that he'd come up to bat with Derek Jeter on second base—and hit a triple to drive home the Yankees captain. Sure enough, that's exactly what happened in...
