Jason Heyward's New Swing Seems To Be Working
Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward has mashed three home runs in his last four games, a feat that would have been unthinkable during his miserable 2016 season....

Holy Shit, That Warriors First Quarter
When the Warriors are hot, there’s nothing you can do.

White Sox Enthusiast Enjoys Game
The Chicago White Sox defeated the Cleveland Indians 6-2 Sunday to improve their home record to 3-5. A portly fellow in a Paul Konerko jersey celebrated the win by invading the field in the ninth inning....

Watch Out For Bits Of Golf Ball In Your Hash Browns

Rajon Rondo On Whether He Tripped Jae Crowder From The Bench: I Was Just Stretching
A few hours after the Bulls announced that Rajon Rondo would be out indefinitely with a fractured thumb, he managed to grab some attention from the bench in Game 3.

Going into tonight’s game against the Cleveland Indians, Chicago White Sox outfielder Jacob May, who won a tough competition for the team’s center-field job this spring, doesn’t have a hit yet this year in 24 at-bats—the first 24 of his major-league career....

The Sun Set On Novak Djokovic
If you make a living standing outside and hurling a small yellow sphere up above your head so you can hit it down, sometimes an enormous yellow sphere is right behind it, and you just have to find a way to cope. Novak Djokovic, squinting and awash in light, couldn’t, as he lost to David Goffin 6-2, ...

Yes, The Predators Are Good Enough To Do <i>That</i> To The Blackhawks
This was the postseason without “Chelsea Dagger.” The Blackhawks’ goal song never once played in these playoffs, simply because Chicago didn’t score a single goal at home.

Former Chicago White Sox ace Chris Sale pitched yet another great game today. With his four-seamer and slider in especially nasty form, he put the golden sombrero on José Bautista and struck out 13 Toronto Blue Jays in total over eight scoreless innings in a 4-1 win for the Boston Red Sox. Sale now ...

Cubs Pitching Coach Comes Very Close To Accusing Eric Thames Of Juicing
The Cubs just wrapped a three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers, during which newly imported Brewers hitting sensation Eric Thames scored six runs and hit .545 with a home run.

Tiger Woods, Who Remains Old And Fucked Up, Has Back Surgery
The Tiger Woods comeback season lasted all of four months. In December, Woods announced that he was once again healthy enough to play golf and even played in a PGA event. Two months later, he had to withdraw from a tournament due to back spasms. Today, Woods announced that he just had back surgery a...

Hell Yeah, We Got The JaVale McGee Game
The journey from “cheap Shaq punchline” to “competent role player on contender” continues straight through the playoffs, as JaVale McGee gave us the purest 13 minutes he might ever produce: 15 points (on 7-of-7 shooting!), five rebounds, and four blocks. Good for him, and for any sap watching, becau...

Mike Pence Is A Fucking Joke<em></em>
Say hello to our Elderly Lego Man Vice President, wearing his varsity Vice Presidenting jacket and standing, with an intensity reserved almost exclusively for constipation sufferers, near the Demilitarized Zone separating North and South Korea.

Grigor Dimitrov Just Can't Seem To Break Through
Grigor Dimitrov, the talented but streaky member of a generation of men’s tennis players that’s been largely overshadowed by the longevity of the Federer-Nadal-Djokovic cohort, looked poised to break out in 2017 when he started the year by winning 17 of 18 matches, knocking off three top-10 seeds al...

White Sox Witness Large Man's Large Dong<em></em>
Big New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge made great use of an ill-advised Dylan Covey pitch, launching an intercontinental home run 448 feet into the night off the Rule 5 pick, who was making his second major-league start....
