Compounding Throwing Errors Turn Wild Pitch Into Three Stooges Routine
Look, baseball is hard. You have to catch and throw a little tiny white ball past someone who wants to murder it with a stick that was expressly made to murder the ball. If your opponent clobbers it, you have to scramble around and shit. This isn’t to excuse the incredible meltdown Oakland suffered ...
Miguel Cabrera Was Very Impressed With The Pitch That Struck Him Out
Miguel Cabrera is on quite the run right now, but Jeremy Hellickson got him to take a rip at a strike three that fell harmlessly in the dirt far from Cabrera’s flailing bat. He is a fun dude who knows when to give respect when he gets owned, so he flashed Hellickson a cool thumbs up almost before Ca...
The Blues Wouldn't <i>Really</i> Bench Brian Elliott For Game 7. Right?
It was a bad night for Blues goalie Brian Elliott, yanked after allowing three goals—against just four saves—in the first period of Dallas’s 3-2 win. Bad nights happen. But is there really a chance that Elliott was so out of sorts that Jake Allen will get the nod in Wednesday’s Game 7? Ken Hitchcock...
Sacramento Kings Do Something Smart, Hire Dave Joerger
The Sacramento Kings announced this afternoon that they’d hired former Memphis Grizzlies head coach Dave Joerger. Since it’s the Kings, you probably reflexively think this is a dumb move, but it’s actually the opposite!...
The Memphis Grizzlies Have Fired Coach Dave Joerger, The Lucky S.O.B.
Having served Dave Joerger a cold supper of radioactive gunge and watched him lick the bowl clean, the front office of the Memphis Grizzlies announced his firing today. First as an assistant, Joerger had been with the organization for the past nine seasons, a.k.a. the bulk of the Grizzlies’ relevanc...
Phillies Pitchers' Many Strikeouts Lead To Wacky Accidental Klan Reference
The Phillies’ pitchers this year are mowing down batters at a ridiculous clip. The staff averaged more than 10 strikeouts per nine innings through April, the first time that’s happened in Major League history. I know this because I checked out the coverage over at philly.com because of this facepalm...
The Many, Many, Many Memphis Grizzlies Have Gone Gently Into That Good Night
The Spurs finished their thoroughly unsurprising sweep of a bunch of guys wearing Grizzlies jerseys today, backhoeing a final heap of dirt onto Memphis’ season. In the final moments of the 116-95 thumping, Grizzlies fans stood and applauded their team’s efforts, which is usually the sort of shit you...
Spurs-Grizzlies Delayed By "Power Surge"
ABC/ESPN’s broadcast of the Spurs-Grizzlies game in Memphis was interrupted suddenly early in the second quarter as what Mike Tirico described as a “power surge” brought the game to a halt....
Grizzlies Mascot Back To Putting Opponents Through Tables
Grizzlies mascot Grizz had a pro wrestling routine last season, and he’s back at it this year as he tormented a poor ersatz Spurs mascot during a timeout in tonight’s game three. It didn’t help Memphis much, but it’s fun to watch:...
Bryce Harper Takes Phillies Pitcher's Offering To The Toilet
With a full count on Bryce Harper in Sunday’s game, Phillies pitcher Jeanmar Gomez threw a sinker over the plate. The Nats outfielder put that pitch straight into the damn toilet....
Apparently, The Phillies Don't Know The Rules Of Baseball

Tiny Point Guards Are The Best
My favorite type of NBA player is an audacious, teeny-tiny point guard who makes up for his physical deficiencies with speed and bravado. Watching an apex human like LeBron James dunk on guys is its own sort of thrill, but it’s far more out of the ordinary for someone of Isaiah Thomas’ stature to do...
I Wish I Was This Dog In A Baby Carrier At The Phillies Game
Look at this goddamn dog chilling in his baby carrier at a Phillies spring training game. I have never been more jealous of another living being....

There's A Lot Of Turmoil Within The Memphis Grizzlies Ownership Group
As the Memphis Grizzlies undergo an injury crisis on the court, behind the scenes things seem even messier. According to a report from Brian Windhorst and Zach Lowe. Grizzlies minority owner Steve Kaplan’s plan to sell his stake in the team and buy into the Minnesota Timberwolves has been complicate...
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....
