It's 2017 But We Still Got Fresh, Hot Mike Trout Takes
Rationalizing why Mike Trout is bad and your guy is the undisputed MVP is an experience that every American League fan will go through at some point over Trout’s career, but tonight on the Houston Astros’ broadcast, the announcers started really grasping at straws....
Cycles Are Good, And Jose Abreu Did A Good One
Before you come in here with your mew mew mew cycles aren’t valuable, a two-homer game is more valuable than a cycle routine, know this: cycles are good because they are unlikely and interesting. If an alien spacecraft were to land on the pitcher’s mound in the third inning of a meaningless Septembe...
The Tigers Gave Up The Absolute Worst Dinger You Can Even Imagine
I want to show you just the worst dinger you are likely to see in this or any other year. It happened in the first inning of today’s Tigers-Indians game. Are you ready? I mean I really want you to get ready for this one. Here goes:...
Good Lord, This Stephen Strasburg Curveball
It takes a lot to humble José Altuve. (Jokes about his height accomplish nothing here.) After a red-hot July that launched him into this year’s MVP conversation, he’s in the middle of his best season yet. But here is Altuve not only humbled, but humbled with buckled knees as a very scary Stephen Str...
Manchester United Have That Old Swagger Back
Last year, Manchester United were a team full of hesitant superstars who punched below their weight and only redeemed a shoddy sixth-place finish by winning the Europa League. Expensive debutante Paul Pogba wasn’t the sort of immediate world-beater so many people (unfairly) thought he’d be, and the ...
Record-Setting Minor League Hit Streak Broken Up With Benches-Clearing Walk
Jose Siri is an outfielder in the Reds system, currently playing with the Class A Dayton Dragons of the Midwest League. Baseball Prospectus pegged him as Cincinnati’s 10th-best prospect on July 19—on that date Siri was already nearly a month into a hitting streak that would eventually stretch to and...
We Have Another Own Goal Golazo
Just days after it happened in the Inter Milan-Chelsea match, another astonishing own goal golazo happened today in Austria as Eibar’s José Ángel Valdés hammered home what proved to be the only goal of his side’s friendly against Schalke—one that looked so impressively like a purposeful shot that th...
Suddenly, Jose Altuve Is The Best Player In Baseball
It’s not really a shock, given that Astros second baseman Jose Altuve finished last season with 6.7 WAR and has been putting up ridiculous statistics for years now, but the little guy is currently your MVP frontrunner....
Mark Trumbo Made Just The Saddest Damn Baseball Play You Will See Today
Here is Orioles outfielder Mark Trumbo tracking a José Altuve fly ball to the warning track in right field in today’s Orioles-Astros tilt:...
KatyPerrysBootyHole And Wetbutt23 Broke The Jose Quintana Trade
The White Sox’s trade of starter Jose Quintana to the Cubs for four minor leaguers went down with remarkable secrecy, with no leaks and no rumors that the teams were even working on it. (It later emerged that Rick Hahn and Theo Epstein ducked backstage at the All-Star FanFest to talk business.) Wel...
White Sox Trade Ace José Quintana To—Oh Fucking Come On
The Chicago White Sox announced today that they have traded 28-year-old ace pitcher José Quintana to the fucking Chicago Cubs, who are basically worse than the St. Louis Cardinals at this point....
Wrestler Alberto Del Rio Part Of Police Investigation Into Possible Domestic Violence
Professional wrestler Jose Alberto Rodriguez, better known as current Global Force Wrestling Champion Alberto El Patron and formerly Alberto Del Rio in WWE, is being investigated for possible domestic violence Sunday at the Orlando International Airport. Citing witnesses who said they saw an argumen...
José Ramírez Is For Real
José Ramírez’s offensive breakout last year was much-needed for Cleveland, helping the team come within a few outs of a World Series title in a season they spent almost entirely without their most productive position player. It also didn’t seem particularly sustainable—a young player whose bat had n...
Spanish Prosecutors Charge Jose Mourinho With €<em></em>3.3 Million Tax Fraud
According to Spanish prosecutors, Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho owes the state €3.3 million in taxes from his time coaching Real Madrid in 2011 and 2012, as El Mundo reported....
Clayton Kershaw Gives Up Four Home Runs For First Time In Career, Looks Suddenly And Distressingly Mortal
Clayton Kershaw began the night against the Mets looking more or less like Clayton Kershaw, which is to say that he began the night looking as if he’d be very hard to hit. But that soon unraveled—seemingly slowly, at first, and then very quickly—and suddenly it was the seventh inning and baseball’s ...
Carlos Carrasco Is An Artist, And This Baseball In The Image Of José Ramírez Is His Masterpiece
“I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.”...
The End Of José Aldo
In championship-level combat sports, as with generations of inbred European royalty, there’s never really an interregnum. The end of one reign is simultaneously the beginning of another. The moment the new champion’s hand is raised and the belt fitted around his waist, we’re officially living in a n...
At UFC 212, Can José Aldo Hang Onto Greatness One More Time?<em></em>
Every once in a while, a fight comes along that offers the promise not just of sheer bloody violence, but of it being delivered with the utmost technical skill....
White Sox Manager Not Worried About White Sox Ace's Lousy Night
White Sox pitcher Jose Quintana laid an egg tonight. The Diamondbacks battered Quintana and sent him packing after 4.1 innings, slapping eight hits and scoring eight runs off of 76 Quintana pitches. Seven Diamondbacks struck out, but tonight was easily Quintana’s worst night of the season. His ERA l...
Gather 'Round And Enjoy The Beauty Of The Jose Berrios Curveball
Jose Berrios’s first year in the majors was something of an unmitigated disaster—an ERA of 8.02 that only looked ever so slightly better in the light of his 6.20 FIP, a walk rate of more than five batters per nine innings, a general sense of misplaced hope in nearly every start. Things have gone ver...
