Here's Some Donald Trump Gossip That We Desperately Want To Be True

A presidential running mate mostly is a warm body. He or she makes appearances at rallies and fundraisers, allowing the candidate to appear at different rallies and fundraisers. Tim Kaine can certainly do that. He is said to be a solid campaigner. He can give a speech and, presumably, shake a donor’...
The Beer-Throwing Blue Jays Fan Got Away
There’s a pattern here. Four years ago at the Rogers Centre someone nailed an umpire with a beer. Three years ago a fan chucked a full beer can at the Orioles’ Nate McLouth. In last year’s ALDS, the crowd protested a bizarre play by littering the field with trash, a scene lowlighted by a baby being ...
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...

You Probably Won't See Ben Simmons Play This Season
The Philadelphia 76ers confirmed this afternoon that Ben Simmons’s foot injury was a Jones fracture.

Root For The Baltimore Orioles In The Playoffs
