Nonsensical Ejection Caps Off Red Sox-Orioles Beef In Dumbest Way Possible
The Red Sox and Orioles have engaged in quite the skirmish over the past week and change, repeatedly throwing baseballs at each other and glowering just enough to get Rob Manfred to step in and tell them to cool it.

Holy Shit, Isaiah Thomas<em></em>
The Wizards tried everything against Isaiah Thomas tonight. They threw taller defenders at him, they tried trapping him on pick-and-rolls, they tried switching on him, they tried hitting him. Nothing worked. The puny Celtics star got into the best point guard duel of the playoffs with John Wall and ...

Yankees' Aaron Judge Sows Destruction During Batting Practice

The Boston Red Sox have been mad at Manny Machado for over a week now, ever since he spiked Dustin Pedroia while sliding into second base. They tried to plunk him in retaliation the day after, but that attempt went sideways and Matt Barnes got tossed without even getting to hit Machado....
