How The Hell Did Jay Beagle Make That Game-Saving Block?
The Pittsburgh Penguins dispatched the Washington Capitals 4-3 in overtime tonight in Pittsburgh, weathering a furious third-period comeback and eventually winning on a Nick Bonino tap-in. However, it could have ended earlier in overtime, had Jay Beagle not morphed into Superman and dove across the ...

Hello, fellow millennial baseball fans, I have come to make you sad....
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...

Jay Beagle Got Hockey Sticks Stuck In His Helmet And Skate
Capitals center Jay Beagle found a way to get a hockey stick stuck in his equipment on two separate occasions in Thursday’s game against the Penguins. The first was a remarkable fluke; the second was a beneficial one....
Joey Rickard Teleports A Hit Right Through Josh Donaldson's Glove
Oh, you thought Troy Tulowitzki’s ragged-ass glove would be the only piece of equipment from the left-side of the Blue Jays’ infield to make news this season? Wrong....
The Blue Jays Lost In The Saddest Way
Sometimes, your team really bones it and gives up a walk-off home run. Or maybe they lose after a new MLB rule bites them in the ass. Both of those scenarios suck, but neither is outright embarrassing. The Blue Jays’ 4-3 loss to the Orioles in extras tonight, however, ended in sad, humiliating fashi...
Brett Gardner Tumbles Butt First Into The Stands To Catch A Foul Ball
The Yankees wrap up a three-game series in Toronto tonight, and they got their second out of the night with a fair bit of pizazz, as Brett Gardner went ass-over-teakettle to make this grab here....
A Very Rude Blue Jays Fan Found Pablo Sandoval A New Belt
Big-bellied Pablo Sandoval had a bit of a mishap with his belt during Saturday’s game against the Blue Jays. It happened during his second at-bat of the season, and it’s honestly starting to feel like some higher power is ordering Sandoval’s 2016 campaign to be a never-ending fat joke. For example:...
New MLB Slide Rule Costs The Blue Jays A Game And They Are Pissed
Baseball’s controversial new Chase Utley Rule was implemented for the first (update: second) time in a game tonight, and it could not have come at a more crucial juncture. Down by a run with the bases loaded and one out in the top of the ninth, Edwin Encarnacion slapped a grounder to third. Logan Fo...
Troy Tulowitzki Is Going To Ridiculous Lengths To Keep Using His Ancient Glove
Troy Tulowitzki is apparently not the type of person who easily lets go of the past. Tulo has used the same glove for at least five years (or as many as eight, depending who you believe), and even as it was clearly deteriorating back into dust in last year’s ALCS, the Blue Jays shortstop stuck with ...
Jay Wright Barely Reacted To Villanova's Buzzer-Beater
When Kris Jenkins hit his buzzer-beating three, everybody lost it. Villanova dogpiled on the court, fans in Houston screamed, people in bars across America went crazy, and even Charles Barkley jumped for joy....
Kevin Pillar Smashes Into Wall After Spectacular Grab
Kevin Pillar didn’t get a hit in this evening’s 5-3 Blue Jays win over the Rays, but he did manage to make the best catch of this nascent MLB season. Steve Pearce probably thought he had a hit on his hands here. Not so fast....
Marcus Stroman Isn't Talking To You, Man
I wanted to be grouchy about MLB scheduling three games yesterday, because I’m one of those extremely cool guys who believes Opening Day should be on a Monday and every team should play. And yet, it was hard to be in a bad mood while watching 24-year-old Marcus Stroman dice up the Rays....
Jay Williams Receives Phone Call During Live Shot
ESPN analyst Jay Williams forgot to silence his phone before going live on SportsCenter this morning, and just like when you forgot to do it before going to church today, it rang at the most inappropriate moment. Williams laughed it off, suggesting it was one of the coaches to talk strategy—but who ...
Drew Hutchison Gets Smoked By His Own Catcher
This time last year, Blue Jays pitcher Drew Hutchison was getting ready to start on Opening Day. Yesterday, he found himself making his final start of spring training, with one last chance to secure a spot in the big-league rotation.

Jay Glazer Has Very Strange Ideas About Football, The Military, CTE, And PTSD
Last Friday, NFL insider and MMA enthusiast Jay Glazer went on Bill Simmons’s podcast to talk about football, MMA, and his ongoing feud with ESPN’s NFL reporters. At one point, the conversation turned to football’s relationship with CTE, and things got very weird....
Cops Question Blue Jays Fan For Tweeting Threat To Statue Over Jose Bautista Contract
Back when it was clear that Jose Bautista and the Blue Jays were far apart on a potential contract extension, a number of fans sided with their slugger and against ownership, which despite being among the richest in pro sports has a reputation for failing to spend like it. The ire of one of those fa...
Jose Bautista And The Phillie Phanatic Have A Fitness Contest
I don’t what baseball’s unwritten rules say or don’t say about challenging mascots to handstand contests, but I’d like to believe they’re encouraged....
