Jeff McNeil Made A Sick Catch Thanks To The White Sox's New Nets

At Least Three Paying Customers Have Been Kicked Out Of James Dolan's Recent Concerts
Knicks owner and dedicated crooner James Dolan seemingly has an allergy toward playing his music in front of anyone who might be inclined to bring actual attention to it.

To Truly Understand Jon Gruden's Mind Would Be To Go Mad
Nathan Peterman, America’s Quarterback and Oakland’s either second or third, is growing on Jon Gruden. Not like Kuato in Total Recall, although that is nice to think about—to be clear, Gruden is Kuato in this scenario; just slap a visor and a critical sunburn on this little guy and it’s easy to see—...
Marcus Stroman Let The Blue Jays Know Exactly How He Felt About Being Traded To The Mets
Marcus Stroman seems cool with it now.

A Working Theory Of What The Mets Are Even Doing Right Now
On Sunday, the Mets did two unusual things. If you want to be rude, you can include them sweeping a series from the Pittsburgh Pirates as a third, but the first two are more notable and also let’s be nice. One of those unusual things was that, in a departure from the norm, the team did not use a “Su...
Marcus Stroman Traded To New York...<i>Mets?</i> That Can't Be Right
Marcus Stroman gripped the monkey’s paw. The Blue Jays were sellers and he wanted out. He wanted to go home, near where he grew up on Long Island. “I’m from New York and I’m a New York boy,” he had said earlier. And he wanted to play for a winning team, deep into October. “New York’s like the Mecca ...

Mike Francesa And Trevor Bauer Get Into An Argument With No Winners And Two Losers
Cleveland Indians pitcher and online edgelord Trevor Bauer is one of the big names to watch ahead of next week’s MLB trade deadline.

Maybe The Yankees Should Not Allow Masahiro Tanaka To Face The Red Sox
Yankees pitcher Masahiro Tanaka got the start Thursday night in the first game of an important four-game series against the Red Sox.

Aaron Hicks Saves The Day, Twice, In Wild Potential Playoff Preview
Don’t call it a revenge game, because that would imply Aaron Hicks is resentful toward the Twins instead of relieved they gave up on him. Whatever it was, Hicks’s two-out magic at the plate and with the glove saved New York’s bacon in an absolutely bananas 14-12 Yankees win that saw 35 combined hits...
Tim Tebow's Flesh And Bat Faileth
Last time we checked in on future Mets superstar Tim Tebow he was struggling mightily down at triple-A, slashing .156/.239/.227 in 128 at-bats and striking out against a position player. The bad news is, Tebow is now all sliced up and injured; the worse news is, he evidently still can’t figure out h...
Mets Extend Olive Branch To Fans By Limiting Their Ability To Watch The Mets
The Mets are a revolving door of controversy and incompetence, as the most recent New York team to win a pennant(!) has spent the past month (or two, or three...) plagued by internal anger, poor play, and a tendency to kill off ex-players before they actually die. It must be no fun to be a Mets fan ...

Twins Show Off Cat-Like Infield Reflexes Against Vile Yankees
The Twins and Yankees are playing the opener of a three-game series Monday night in Minnesota, where the Twins offense has become basically a howitzer firing baseballs into the outfield stands. These are two of the top three teams in the American League, so this series has some juice....

Saturday’s downright oppressive heatwave has affected a portion of the United States that spans from the Northeast all the way to certain parts of the Midwest.
