Matt Joyce Hits Ball Back Into Pitching Machine; Machine Fires It Again
Your latest baseball oddity comes courtesy of Matt Joyce. During Thursday's batting practice, the Rays designated hitter fouled a ball that bounced off the top of the cage and right back into the pitching machine's loading slot. The machine then zipped another strike before Joyce realized what had h...
Taco Bell's Quesarito: A Fast-Food Love Affair Gone Awry
Hybrid foods are hit or miss. When they're honest attempts to expand the human dining experience by combining the virtues of two or more complementary yet previously segregated items, the results can be extraordinary. Pizza bagels, peanut butter cups, and Jell-O shots are classic examples of dispara...
Kevin Durant Continues To Be Bad At Internet Feuds
Poor Kevin Durant is just so dang bad at the internet and feuds, mostly because he seems to have a gift for doing and or saying completely innocuous things that he later has to back down from because the internet is stupid....

These Polar Bears Are Really Bad At Macking On Each Other
There are two things I dig about this video. The first is that cool-ass disguised robot camera that could have been an imperial drone on Hoth. The second is how bad these polar bears are at flirting....
Manny Machado Suspended Five Games For Throwing Bat
MLB has suspended Baltimore's Manny Machado five games for throwing his bat during Sunday's game against Oakland. After two straight brushback pitches from Fernando Abad, Machado flung his bat in the general vicinity of third base—"accidentally," he said, but nah....
Burrito Smackdown: Chipotle Vs. Qdoba
Serious Mexican-food folk talk mostly about tacos these days, which is cool, except that tacos are sorta bullshit. I mean, there's nothing wrong with a taco, other than the fact that it's just a miniature open-faced burrito, i.e., a lesser burrito. Disdaining the burrito—it's not even authentic Mexi...
Manny Machado Flings Bat Onto Field, Benches Clear Again
For the second time in three days, an angry Manny Machado caused the benches to clear between the Orioles and Athletics....

Still Some Doubts On The Rio Roosevelt
One hundred years ago, our most badass, National Park-making president, Teddy Roosevelt, staggered out of the steaming Brazilian jungle, barely alive, after descending the uncharted, rapids-choked River of Doubt. There was no longer doubt as to the river's dangers, so it was renamed Rio Roosevelt....
BBQ Chicken Pizza Smackdown: Pizza Hut Vs. Domino's
Several years ago, I came across a ranking of careers based on overall desirability. "President of the United States" was somewhere in the lower-middle of the pack, because it offers the most power and prestige, but also has the highest workplace fatality rate, terrible job security, brutal hours, a...
Justin Masterson Pitched An Immaculate Inning
During the fourth inning of last night's game between the Red Sox and Indians, Justin Masterson did something that is pretty damn incredible: he struck out the side on just nine pitches. It was as perfect an inning as a pitcher can possibly have....
The Thunder Will Want To Forget That Overtime Ever Happened
The Thunder lost to the Spurs 112-107 in overtime and, good lord, was overtime a disaster for Oklahoma City. Look at the tidiness of San Antonio's overtime shot chart, compared to OKC's. Russell Westbrook—who had an otherwise great game, with 34 points, eight assists, seven rebound, and six steals—w...
This Is Lance Stephenson Blowing On Kevin Durant And Forcing A Turnover
And I can't stop watching it. Someone edited Lance Stephenson blowing into LeBron's ear into a sequence at the end of the fourth quarter when Kevin Durant stumbled and turned the ball over, with Oklahoma City down by two, and it's perfect. Look how mischievous he is!...
This Spurs Basket Is Like A Pinball Game
Even though they lost Tony Parker to a barking ankle, the Spurs are still real [removes glasses] Pinball Wizards....
Unforgivable: <em>A Million Ways To Die In The West</em>, Reviewed.
1. Think about how much of an indictment it is to say, "All the good jokes are in the trailer" about a movie. Trailers, at most, are three minutes long. A Million Ways to Die in the West runs 116 minutes. That is a ton of time to comb through to dig out a Family Guy-esque gag about running into Emme...
Boris Diaw Kicking Ass Is What The Playoffs Are All About
When Gregg Popovich shoved Matt Bonner into his starting lineup last night, it seemed clear he was making a decision in strategy and trying to shift the tenor of the series. But in perfect Popavellian fashion, Bonner turned out to be more decoy than secret weapon. The real genius of the lineup chang...

Whoa, Tim Duncan, did Russell Westbrook really just kick you in the nuts?...
Here's A New Attempt At Gauging The Defensive Impact Of NBA Players
The defensive impact of individual NBA players is hard to measure, as it's so intertwined with their teammates' performance. Austin Clemens, undeterred, has taken an ambitious shot with his new Adjusted Impact by Court Location model, which attempts to parse out individual impacts on opponent shot s...
