This Own Goal From Chivas USA Defender Mario de Luna Makes Us Sad
Midway through the first half in last night's MLS clash between the Seattle Sounders and Chivas USA, Sounders midfielder Mauro Rosales broke free down the right flank and lofted a ball into the box towards an open Obafemi Martins. But Rosales overshot his target, and the cross floated all the way to...
Chicago's Go-Ahead Goal Was Waved Off Because Of Off-Setting Penalties
Coincidental minor penalties and 1:47 are all that stood between the Chicago Blackhawks and a Game 7 win over the Red Wings. ...
OF Trips On Bullpen Mound, Fails To Make Catch, Plays For Marlins
Poor Marcell Ozuna just can't catch a break. The Marlins rightfielder actually saw where this fly ball was going off the bat of Evan Longoria, and he probably would have caught it if not for that bullpen mound. That stupid, reckless, what-the-fuck-is-that-doing-there bullpen mound....
This Might Be The Worst Double Play Call You'll See
This is not a double play. It would've been, probably, if Texas Rangers first baseman Mitch Moreland caught the ball to end the play. But he didn't catch the ball. Someone else caught the ball....
A Brief Oral History Of The Best Jump Ball Of All Time
On Tuesday night, Matt Bonner and Zach Randolph combined to create the above piece of comedic gold. I caught up with Bonner, who claimed he still hasn't seen the replay of the play, although he plans to now. "I have a sense of humor," he said. "Someone told me that Jeff Van Gundy was joking about it...
Soccer Player Scores, Takes Off Shorts To Celebrate, Gets Red Card
This is Mario Gjurovski, a Macedonian soccer player who plays for Muangthong United FC in the Thai Premier League. He's sometimes a scorer of good goals, we assume, and when he scored his most recent on Saturday against TOT, he celebrated by taking his shorts off....
The Wall Is In Bryce Harper's Head
After Bryce Harper clumsily ran face-first into the right-field wall at Dodger Stadium, we were assured—by Harper himself and others—that the incident would not prevent Harper from “playing hard” in the future. Those assurances may have been given a bit hastily....
Matt Bonner And Zach Randolph Give Us The Best Jump Ball Of All Time
This was absolutely the highlight of last night's Grizzlies-Spurs game. There's just something refreshing about watching two NBA players flail around like a couple of hapless rec leaguers. I hope every remaining game in this series features multiple jump balls between Randolph and Bonner, each endin...
The Memphis Grizzlies Are Struggling Tonight
San Antonio's leading Memphis by 15 at the half, but even given the Grizzlies' struggles that's a bit of surprise; neither team has looked especially good tonight....

Pitcher Tim Lincecum Slips, Busts Ass, Gets Called For a Balk
Last night, San Francisco Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum was on the mound against the Colorado Rockies. In the fourth inning he lined up to throw a pitch, slipped, and toppled over. He got called for a balk....
Golfer Hits Tee Shot Into A Bathroom, Sends Announcers Into Giggles
Yesterday in the quarterfinals of the Volvo World Match Play Championship, Nicolas Colsaerts hit a tee shot on a par-4 that flew off the course, over the rest area, and into a bathroom. Because the ball landed in a hazard, a rules official was summoned, who determined that the nearest "point of reli...
Here's Jake "The Snake" Roberts Singing At Last Night's Braves Game
So last night the Atlanta Braves played the Dodgers. They won, which was expected. What wasn't expected was ex-professional wrestler Jake "The Snake" Roberts making a cameo to lead everyone in singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the seventh-inning stretch. That's what happened, though....
The Astros Lost On A Moronic Walk-Off Error
"Looks like we're going to extra innings." That's what Greg Brown, the Pirates' TV broadcaster, said as soon as Russell Martin made contact on this fly ball to shallow right-center. But Brown should have known better. Because it ain't over till the Astros have finished tying all of their shoelaces t...
Bryce Harper Wasn't Playing Hard Last Night, He Was Playing Dumb
The fact that Bryce Harper ran face-first into a wall last night is not a laughing matter. It was a scary moment that Harper came away from with a seriously rung bell, a gash under his chin, and a jammed shoulder. We are not going to laugh at Bryce Harper's injury....
Marquis Teague Tips Ball Into Own Basket, Exemplifies Bulls' Futility
This happened in the fourth quarter of last night's Heat-Bulls game, and it perfectly sums up the Bulls' Game 4 performance, which was like watching a bunch of dudes try to beat themselves to death with feather dusters....

New England Sports Net Switches To Toronto Feed In Ultimate Dick Move
The Bruins scored two goals inside the final two minutes of Game 7 against the Toronto Maple Leafs to tie the game and force overtime. Toronto is in the playoffs for the first time since 2004 and they rallied from down three games to one to even force this game. Toronto held the lead since Cody Fra...
