Blue Jays Call Rangers "Gutless" And "Cowardly" After Excellent Brawl

I believe with my whole heart that the seventh inning of last year’s ALDS Game 5—the non-interference throw back to the pitcher, the baby-soaking beer rain, Elvis Andrus’s meltdown, and ohmygod that bat flip—is the most entertaining inning of baseball ever played. That seven months later it is still...

Watch Rougned Odor Punch José Bautista In Extreme Slow Motion

Rougned Odor slugged José Bautista in the face following the latter’s questionable slide into second and sparked a brawl talking heads will be discussing all week. While we wait for the inevitable punishments to be handed down, let’s appreciate the point of contact as presented in extreme slow motio...

Blue Jays And Rangers Brawl, Completely Ignore Game [UPDATE: They Brawled Again]

Toronto and Texas brawled in the top of the eighth as punches were flying while the ball was still bouncing around the field. We’re waiting on a good video replay; for now, enjoy this feed from Fox Sports Southwest and KRLD....

Jose Reyes Suspended 52 Games For Domestic Violence Arrest

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred just announced that Rockies shortstop Jose Reyes will be suspended through May 31. Reyes was arrested for allegedly grabbing his wife by the throat and shoving her into a sliding glass door this past Halloween. He was placed on leave by the Rockies on February 23, and wa...

Pekka Rinne Smashed The Shit Out Of His Stick, And Yeah I Get It

The Sharks’ dream Game 7 was, necessarily, a nightmare for Nashville. Or: You don’t lose an elimination game 5-0, getting outshot 17-3 in the first and only managing 20 shots on goal of your own all night, without just about everything going wrong....

Wait For It

The Predators Have Something Left In The Tank

The Predators are counter-punchers. They fought back from 3-2 down to make it to the second round. They fought back from being outplayed in the multiple overtimes of Game 4 against the Sharks to snatch a win. With their backs up against the wall again last night, they fought back from an early two-g...

Jose Altuve Can Do It All

The Houston Astros have been one of the most disappointing teams in baseball this season, sitting last in an AL West they were expected to dominate. The pitching staff has been giving up too many runs and even ace Dallas Keuchel’s stats are down across the board (beard’s still good at least). But Ca...

The Sharks Thought They Got Screwed On Joe Pavelski's No-Goal

What would a triple-OT game be without some controversy? Two periods before Mike Fisher won it for Nashville to knot up the series, San Jose’s Joe Pavelski thought he had finished things off, scoring from his belly (and with Pekka Rinne pinned beneath him). It was a mess....

Yeah, OK, I'm All About The Sharks

The NHL’s playoff bracket is a little bit broken when each conference’s best two teams are playing each other in the second round, but a nice side effect is that we’re getting close series—and through two games, they look close all around. That includes Sharks-Predators, even if San Jose is up 2-0. ...

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...

How The Sharks' Power Play Will Bite You From Any Angle

If you had the entire NHL to draft from, you might not be able to construct a more logical top power-play unit than the one the Sharks can ice every night. Maybe not the “best”—third best in the NHL this year, though—but there’s not another that’s so well-defined, that offers such weapons from every...

Joe Pavelski Muscled The Sharks To A Series Lead

Sucks for those of us on East Coast time, but the three most intriguing first-round playoff series are out West. The West has most of the best teams this year, and the best storylines, and for now the best match-ups, and none better than this year’s (first, maybe) California series. And if you went ...

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...

Intense Hockey Referee Is A Good Referee

What On Earth Is Going On With José Mourinho's Manchester United Pre-Contract?

We can all agree that the big takeaway from the pre-contract José Mourinho has reportedly signed with Manchester United is the simple fact that, after a few months on the sidelines, no doubt stewing over the calamity that was his final season at Chelsea, our man Mourinho will almost certainly be bac...

Report: It's Mourinho Time, Baby!

The best parts of the first half of this very weird Premier League season were most certainly Chelsea melting down and playing like dogpiss and also all the wacky hijinks José Mourinho got himself into. Now, according to El Pais (Sp.), our hero has signed a “pre-contract agreement” with Manchester U...

St. Joseph's Coach Phil Martelli Wants To Know Where The Weed's At

St. Joseph’s took down Cincinnati 78-76 after the Bearcats had a game-tying dunk wiped out at the end of regulation. Coach Phil Martelli was understandably pretty relaxed and happy after the game, and interrupted a question from an apparently very chill reporter to ask if they sold the devil’s lettu...

St. Joe's Survives As Game-Tying Cincinnati Dunk Waved Off

Referees waved off Octavius Ellis’s would-be buzzer-beating dunk for Cincinnati after video replay showed the Bearcats senior still had the ball as the horn sounded....
