Activists Display Huge "Trans People Deserve To Live" Banner During World Series 

During Game 5 of the World Series on Sunday night in Los Angeles, a group in the left field stands unfurled a massive banner that said, “Trans People Deserve To Live.” The website Into reports that the banner was snuck into the stadium by the TransLatin@ Coalition, an organization based in L.A. tha...

The Goddamn Red Sox Won The Goddamn World Series

Dave Roberts Helped The Red Sox Grind The Dodgers Into Dust

After walking Xander Bogaerts and striking out Eduardo Núñez in the top of the seventh, Dodgers starter Rich Hill was pulled by manager Dave Roberts from an outing in which he was tossing a shutout and had allowed just one hit.

Walker Buehler Is A Goddamn Stud

Max Muncy might have been the hero for the Dodgers in the marathon that was Game 3 of the World Series, but rookie pitcher Walker Buehler was the real star. The 24-year-old showed on Friday that he’s ready to be the next great Los Angeles postseason hero in his seven-inning shutout performance....

Fucking Max Muncy Won The Longest World Series Game In History

It’s really tough to feel sympathy for goddamn Red Sox fans, but man. Staying up until 3:30 a.m. eastern time only to see minor-league journeyman and Oakland A’s flameout Max Muncy steal a game Boston should have had five innings earlier has got to be rooooooough....

Oh Lance

The Only Thing Left To Do Is Yell About The World Series

This can be said in variously Ken Burns-ian tones and with varying degrees of reverence, but October baseball really is different. There is less of it, for one thing, and the few games that remain are more meaningful and more tense, but also everyone is cold and tired and stressed out. In that sense...

The Dodgers Might Be Outsmarting Themselves

On Tuesday, the Dodgers became the first team in baseball history to open a World Series with their four leading home-run hitters on the bench. On Wednesday, they did it again. L.A. is now down 0-2, and is hitting just .175 in this World Series, and has just one measly extra-base hit. It’s possible ...

The Red Sox took a 2–0 lead in the World Series Wednesday night. It is befitting of this hell universe that another Boston sports team is on the cusp of winning a championship....

The Rapidly Expanding Rajon Rondo-Chris Paul Beef Now Includes Daryl Morey And Glen Davis

Things get exhausting now much more quickly than ever before. Whereas the great NBA beefs of old could unspool interestingly over the course of years, this latest Rajon Rondo-Chris Paul beef has gone from punches (and spit) flying to maybe the NBA should go back to bed for a couple months in just un...

Rajon Rondo Claims "Tampering Of Evidence," Denies Spitting On "Horrible Teammate" Chris Paul

Cranky Lakers point guard Rajon Rondo is currently serving a three-game suspension for his role in last weekend’s brawl between the Rockets and Lakers. That’s one more game than Chris Paul got, and it seems Rondo will be forced to sit out that extra game because of the possibility that he spat in Pa...

LeBron James Is The Worst In The NBA At Clutch Free Throws

Celebrating Goober Shooed Away From Lakers Bench After Hitting $30,000 Half-Court Shot

Lots of basketball happened tonight. Much of it was meaningless, or ridiculous, or both. This here is the basketball highlight of the night, though it happened during halftime:...

Here’s The Best And Loudest Of Dodgers Fans On The Local News

After the Dodgers clinched their spot in the World Series, their fans spent Saturday night partying, and the Los Angeles local news caught up with many of them. One fan couldn’t have put the feeling in the city better: “Woooo, baby! We’re going to the ... yes we are!” ...

Yasiel Puig Homered, Crotch-Chopped, And Enjoyed Himself In Game 7

Brandon Ingram Shoves James Harden; Rajon Rondo Brawls With Chris Paul [UPDATES]

Somehow, the events that led to this fistfight started out with wayward bozo Lance Stephenson as one of the players trying to keep the peace. When Houston’s 124-115 win was still a one-point game Saturday night, Lakers forward Brandon Ingram shoved Rockets guard James Harden in the back after a foul...

Report: Los Angeles Will Be Saddled With The Chargers For At Least 20 Years

The Los Angeles Chargers are currently in a tiny stadium that can max out its capacity at 27,000. They’ve become a concern for the league’s other owners in terms of viability. Also, no one really cares about them since their true fanbase is in San Diego. But here’s some relief: They’ll be locked int...

Animation Festival Drops Kobe Bryant After Protest Over 2003 Rape Allegation

Oscar-winning cartoon maker Kobe Bryant was set to be a jury member on this weekend’s second annual Animation Is Film, a Los Angeles-based film festival, but organizers rescinded his invitation after the animation community protested the inclusion of “accused rapist and sexual predator Kobe Bryant.”...

Thank God The Boban Show Is Back

Nothing changes the complexion of an NBA game, or the welfare of its hoop apparatus, faster or more decisively than the release of Boban. The Nuggets knew this, but had no one who could impede him. The Clippers knew it, but they also know that Boban’s is a power that can be harnessed only for precio...
