Anibal Sanchez's 17-K Game Trumped Even Randy Johnson's 1992 "Hammer From Hell" Game
If we can indulge in a brief moment of Welcome Back, Baseball — still early enough in the season, right? — it’s a joy to watch a sport that puts the ball in the hands of the defense. Virtually any other sport you care to name turns a defensive player into an offensive player as soon as he takes poss...

Messi Back To Scoring Ridiculous Goals, Bringing Ray Hudson To Orgasm

"I'm Coming To Kill You": OKC Ball Boy Not Happy With Westbrook Injury

Pittsburgh lefty Jonathan Sanchez started last night's game in St. Louis. His stat line reads as follows: 0.0 IP, 3 H, 2R, 2ER, 2 HR, 1 HBP. He faced four batters and threw all of 17 pitches, and then he was gone. He did not get hurt....
Taste Test: Popeyes Rip'n Chick'n. Who Thought This Was A Good Idea?
It began, one imagines, as a simple question, posed conspiratorially around a gleaming boardroom conference table in an upper floor of AFC Enterprises headquarters in Sandy Springs, Ga.: Why settle for chicken fingers, when you could have an entire horrifying rheumatoid chicken hand that you grimly ...
Brian O'Nora Was Probably Puking Because He Swallowed His Chew
The Mets and Phillies experienced a brief delay in the first inning last night thanks to what is being variously described as Brian O'Nora's "flu like symptoms" or "illness." In all likelihood, however, the delay was probably due to Brian O'Nora vomiting up his chewing tabacco. ...
Rob Delaney Sang The National Anthem At Dodger Stadium Last Night

Runner Scores On Busted Squeeze Play By Falling Down
This new twist on the squeeze play comes our way from Texas high school baseball. Rather than waste time and energy running back to third after the batter whiffs on a bunt attempt, our guy just drops to the ground, lets the catcher run over him, and quickly pops back up for an unimpeded run home. ...
Stephen Curry And Jarrett Jack Are One-Upping Their Way Past Denver
