Baseball Players Get Really Deep When Their Teams Are Down 0-2<em></em>

Three of the four MLB division series have one team in an 0-2 hole.

Still Unclear About Whether My Eyes Are Deceiving Me Or Not

Buck Showalter Fucked Up

I watched Buck Showalter neglect to use his lights-out closer in the ninth and tenth and eleventh innings of a tied, loser-goes-home baseball game, and I watched it work for two of those innings! All I can say is: I’ve seen people at the blackjack table hit on 17 and get 21, too. I’ve never seen any...
