Giancarlo Stanton Sent This Justin Verlander Pitch To Goddamn Mars

Lionel Messi Gives Away Some Shoes, Causes International Incident
Lionel Messi recently sat with Mona El-Sharkawy, the host of Egyptian TV show Yes I am Famous, and the two had a nice, friendly chat.

Harry Redknapp And Jordanian Journalist Have An Unproductive Interview
Harry Redknapp, the new (temporary?) manager of the Jordan national team, celebrated his first win in charge after his team beat Bangladesh yesterday, 8-0.

Carlos Tévez Breaks Goalkeeper's Jaw With A Flying Knee To The Face
Now this isn’t as bad as the last time we saw Carlos Tévez breaking bones on a soccer pitch, seeing as that shin-snapper was on account of a horrible and late tackle while this jaw-smasher looks like a complete accident, but this is a streak Tévez probably doesn’t want to extend. Here’s the video:...
Boca Juniors And River Plate Combine For Five Red Cards, Nine Yellows, And One Brawl In A Friendly
There’s no such thing as a friendly between Boca Juniors and River Plate. Every Superclásico is an opportunity for the bitter crosstown rivals to humiliate the other, and yesterday’s match was no different. Boca had three players sent off with direct red cards, and River lost two. ...

Ronaldo Returns Lost Phone, Treats Owner And Her Friends To A Night Out
Cristiano Ronaldo is famous for his many, many goals and the selfish way he goes about scoring them. However, the forward is apparently more than willing to lend a helping hand to a random stranger in Las Vegas, finding a woman’s phone, returning it to her, and taking her and her friends on a night ...
Giancarlo Stanton Reportedly Has Broken Bone In Hand; Everything Sucks
Giancarlo Stanton has been crushing baseballs all season long, smacking out an MLB-leading 27 homers and driving in an MLB-leading 67 runs.

Nobody Hits Harder Than Giancarlo Stanton
It’s always fun when an advanced baseball statistic definitively backs up what you see on the field.

Giancarlo Stanton Eats Kit Kats Like A Monster

Giancarlo Stanton Slams Into The Wall To Take Away An Extra Base Hit
Giancarlo Stanton is featured on this website a lot because we, like all right-thinking humans on earth, enjoy watching him smack the crap out of baseballs. But hey, as it turns out, he can play defense too! ...
Giancarlo Stanton Ruining Baseballs Almost Makes Up For Jeffrey Loria
Back in February, Sports Illustrated had a neat cover story on slugger Giancarlo Stanton, his injury last season, and the Miami Marlins’ new strategy of not fielding an embarrassing team. For a minute, the article really convinced the reader that owner Jeffrey Loria cared about his franchise. Stanto...
Giancarlo Stanton's Moonshot Topped Only By The Fan Who Caught It
Giancarlo Stanton is a very good baseball man. When he hits the ball, often it leaps off of his bat approaching the speed of light, and goes much farther than any tightly wound lump of cork, yarn, and cowhide has any right to go. ...
Giancarlo Stanton Crushes Homer Out Of Dodger Stadium, Literally
Holy crap, Giancarlo Stanton mashed this first inning pitch from Mike Bolsinger out of Dodger Stadium. Not out of the field of play, but out of the entire stadium....
The Ideal Beer For Wealthy Working Stiffs
Most of my workdays are spent alone at home, poring over a hot computer as I wait for the muse to alight and the hangover to depart. From time to time, however, I am called upon to venture out into the general population to address the inmates of a local prison or communications class on the topic o...
Carlos Tevez Scores Indirect Free Kick From 6 Yards Out
Every once in awhile you see an indirect free kick—meaning a goal can only be scored if it touches one other player first—awarded only a few yards away from the goal. In this case, the referee judged that the Empoli goalkeeper picked the ball up after it was deliberately passed back to him by a te...
