The Adventures Of Jason Day And His Missing Golf Ball
Jason Day hit an errant drive on the second hole today at the PGA Championship and found himself barefoot, traversing a stream and marshlands in rolled-up pants in an effort to track it down.

Yasiel Puig Snapped His Bat On A Check Swing
Yasiel Puig can make even a check swing interesting. Puig was initially going to take a hack at Zach Duke's 2-1 pitch in the seventh inning last night, but thought better of it and stopped his hands right in front of him. The portion of the bat not in his hands, however, just kept going and snappe...
MLB Briefly Shuts Down Dodgers' Bubble Parties
The Dodgers have made a little plastic bubble machine part of their home run celebration. It's as whimsical a tradition as, and much more sanitary than, the Athletics' Rally Possum. But for whatever reason, before Tuesday's game, MLB executive VP Joe Torre commanded them to stop using it. ...
Scott Mitchell Got Fat And Will Be On <em>The Biggest Loser</em>

Albert Pujols Teaches Yasiel Puig A Lesson About Paying Attention
We saw good Puig and bad Puig last night, as the Dodgers outfielder showed off his cannon arm, then two innings later got shown up by Albert Pujols for not paying attention.

Yasiel Puig Scores From Second On Fielder's Choice
Yasiel Puig scored from second on a potential around-the-horn double play last night with his ridiculous speed and an acrobatic slide into home plate.

Jeff Bridges With <i>The Big Lebowski</i> First "Pitch" At Dodger Stadium

Manny Machado Threw Out Albert Pujols Because His Arm Is Outrageous
Albert Pujols isn't winning a 40-yard dash anytime soon but, still, Machado (not to mention all of his momentum) is halfway into the dugout by the time he's ready to throw this ball and Pujols still isn't anywhere near first base. The cross-diamond throw wasn't even in the dirt, it was at Steve Pe...

Clayton Kershaw Nails Jimmy Kimmel In The Face With A Baseball
Do you want to see Clayton Kershaw hit Jimmy Kimmel in his face with a baseball? You're in luck! It's not an actual baseball, and Kershaw isn't exactly laying it in there, because that would all be too gruesome for late night TV. But the sound, and the sight of Kimmel getting it right in the face, a...
Judge Rules Against Donald Sterling, Who Will Lose The Clippers
Donald Sterling's ownership of the Los Angeles Clippers was finally wrested away from him thanks to a judge's ruling on Sterling's lawsuit against his wife, Shelly, which was meant to block the sale of the Clippers to Steve Ballmer.
