Get A Load Of This Incredible Diving Save

This here’s Elvis Merzlikins, a 22-year-old keeper playing for Latvia at the IIHF World Championships. His team is tied for last in their group with two points from three games, but he did at least make this killer save against Russia....

Kevin Pillar Is A Filthy Thief With No Regard For His Own Body

The stuntman catch in the clip here, by Blue Jays centerfielder Kevin Pillar, came in the top of the ninth inning Saturday, with Toronto down a couple of runs and needing a miracle. The Dodgers wound up winning, but not because Pillar gives a single thin shit about the welfare of his joints and orga...

Bartolo Colón Jacks First Career Dong [UPDATE: Now In Spanish]

Over the years, we have been consistently impressed with Mets pitcher Bartolo Colón’s athletic feats. But nothing he has achieved meets tonight’s highlight, in which the Dominican hurler hits his first career home run after twenty seasons in the majors:...

Happy Anniversary To Kerry Wood's 20-Strikeout Game

There’s never a bad time to relive the day Kerry Wood, then a 21-year-old rookie, struck out 20 goddamn Astros in a single game....

Mike Fisher Goal Gives Predators Triple-OT Win Over Sharks

Nashville’s Mike Fisher scored off the rebound at 11:12 of the third overtime period to give the Predators a 4-3 win and even the series against San Jose at two games apiece. It was Fisher’s second goal of the game—though it came more than 100 minutes after his first....

Hanser Alberto Has A Great Time With His Bubble Gum

No, this is not a picture of a man being attacked by a jellyfish. It’s just Rangers utility player Hanser Alberto having a good-ass time at the ballpark....

The Cavs Just Went Scorched Earth On The Poor Hawks

Tonight the Cleveland Cavaliers dropped an unholy beatdown on the hapless Hawks and put them into the toilet to the tune of 25 threes, 123 points, and 55 percent shooting from three. Every non-garbage time player who took a three hit one, and they smashed the NBA records for most threes in a half (1...

Nelson Cruz Sent This Pitch To Goddamn Pluto

The Seattle Mariners wrapped up a sweep of the Oakland A’s today in the Bay Area, and the club is now first in the AL West (the A’s are weirdly twice as good on the road than at home this season, perhaps owing to the fact that their stadium is a cavernous wind trap without adequate plumbing.) Seattl...

Jon Lester Won't Be Outsmarted By You, Devious Baseball

Weird baseball is the best kind of baseball, so please enjoy Cubs starter Jon Lester showing this stubborn baseball who’s boss:...

Damian Lillard Tried His Darndest To Take The Warriors Down Single-Handedly 

For two quarters last night, the Trail Blazers dominated. They led by 13 after the first quarter, pushed that lead to 17, and led by eight at the break. The Warriors offense was stagnant, their defense discombobulated and a beat late, and the entire Blazers team took advantage....

Kyle Lowry Halfcourt Bomb Sends Game 1 To Overtime

Kyle Lowry had been struggling all game, until the bitter end of Toronto’s opening game against Miami, when he hit this absolute moonshot to tie the game at 90 and send it to overtime. The Heat had it just about sealed up (TNT read the credits and everything) until they got too lackadaisical, got ca...

93-Year Old Brewers Fan Throws Out First Pitch

Better than 50 Cent!...

Rangers Rookie Nomar Mazara Had Himself A Damn Fine Inning

When Shin-Soo Choo went down with a calf injury, the Texas Rangers called up 21-year-old rookie Nomar Mazara to take his place in right field. Through his first 19 games, Mazara has hit .333/.386/.486 with three homers, and last night against the Blue Jays he basically won a game all by his dang sel...

I Want To Marry This Tony Parker Pass

Before the final sequence of last night’s game between the Thunder and Spurs had everyone staring at their television and muttering, “What the hell just happened?” Spurs point guard Tony Parker made a play that turned me into a gross cartoon wolf....

Lionel Messi Takes On Giant Inflatable Demon Robot Keeper

A Japanese game show recently tested out the “Why don’t you just play with a huge goalkeeper who can block the whole goal?” theory on Lionel Messi. He showed that, even if you get a nightmarish, house-sized Miitomo-looking demon to guard the goal, he’ll still score on you....

Chris Sale Will Clown You

White Sox ace Chris Sale has gotten off to a great start this season, having allowed just nine runs in his first 43.1 innings. His strikeout rate has been a bit lower than usual—just 7.9 per nine innings compared to last year’s absurd 11.8 per nine—but he’s still my favorite punch-out artist in the ...

Draymond Green Is His Own Kind Of Marvel

The Warriors’ unassailable version of basketball starts with Steph Curry making origami out of the game’s standard conventions, but there’s also Draymond Green, doing stuff like this:...

This Is Marvelous

Jose Fernandez Was Delighted By This Kenta Maeda Pitch That Fooled Him

Kenta Maeda has spent his first season on this side of the Pacific confounding hitters and even socking the odd dinger. Tonight, he did it again, hoodwinking Jose Fernandez into chasing this pitch way up in the zone. Fernandez was so charmed by Maeda’s pitch that he couldn’t keep from laughing all t...

Caps Beat Pens On Oshie Overtime Hat Trick-Capper That Holds Up Under Review

Washington took the first game of its series against Pittsburgh tonight on an overtime wrap-around goal by T.J. Oshie that capped a hat trick but needed video review in order to be verified....
