Dodgers Fan Gives Lesson In Fandom During Fifth-Grade Graduation Speech
We don't have much background info to go with this video, but it looks like young Casey was asked to share his favorite memory from the past year during his fifth-grade graduation ceremony. Casey flips the script, though, and chooses to talk about his least-favorite memory: the day the Giants won th...
The Padres' Will Venable Made One Of The Best Catches Of The Season
Bear with our hyperbole on this one. Because there was what Will Venable did—sprinting back toward the wall and laying out to make a backhanded catch over his head, à la Jim Edmonds—and there was the situation in which he did it....
On First Pitches As A Cub, Henry Rodriguez Hit Ump And Carlos Beltran
The Washington Nationals recently traded Henry Rodriguez to the Cubs because he was not developing in the way they thought he would. Specifically, he struggled with control issues. His trade value was limited due to "bouts of wildness." He had a power arm, but often had no idea where his pitches w...
Tuukka Rask Shuts Out Chicago Despite "Shitty" Ice; Bruins Lead 2-1
Game 3 actually ended in regulation, a nice change of pace from the first two games, but not before a short scuffle with about 11 seconds left. It looked like it was going to get really ugly for a second, but the refs quickly got control of the action and the game ended without (much) incident. Unl...

Tim Donaghy On Game 5: LeBron Gets The Road Treatment

Here's a quarter-by-quarter breakdow...
Raw Sewage Flooded The Locker Rooms In Oakland Yesterday
It has not been a great few years for hygiene at the stadia of the American League West. Earlier this year, a Houston Astros vendor pooped next to his snowcones. Before that, rats scurried all over Angel Stadium. (And, oh god, let us not forget the bees. So many bees.) And now a scourge has hit poo...
Danny Green Was Once The Awkward Guy At LeBron's Birthday Party
This is a three-year-old video from LeBron James's 25th birthday party. At least that's what it was until today. Now, it's a video of Danny Green, the scrub-turned-dead-eyed-marksman who has taken the NBA finals by storm, acting awkward at a club. It's also proof that life is strange....

Justin Rose Wins The U.S. Open
Justin Rose won the U.S. Open, but since Phil Mickelson came in second (again) it'll play like Phil lost it. But Justin Rose (basically) kept it together while everyone else fell apart and deserves some credit for succeeding where they all failed. He shot even on the day when most of his competition...

I Have No Idea What Is Going On With The NBA On TNT Twitter Account
We don't have many clues to work on here; all we have is the cryptically-worded message "Thundervgrizzlies" and the even more cryptic footage of a human, possibly infant, foot. ...
Phil Mickelson Eagled 10 To (Momentarily) Regain The Lead At U.S. Open
It's felt like the entire field has crumpled at the same time during the final round of the U.S. Open today at Merion. Luke Donald went from hitting out of the water to hitting out of the sand. Rory McIlroy broke a club and while it looked like perpetual sad-sack Jason Dufner was going to make a pu...
