You Don't Forget Albert Pujols
A striking thing to me, which struck when I went to look up his career stats, was the realization that this is Albert Pujols’s seventh season in Anaheim. That is a long, long time in baseball terms, an entire second career that started at age 32. It’s surprisingly tough to recall his Cardinals heyda...
An Utterly Ludicrous Hand Determined The World Series Of Poker's Final Table
Today is a fairly barren sports day, but don’t worry, we have an oddly spicy poker highlight for you.

Mariners Reliever Ryan Cook Yelled "Shit!" So Loudly After Giving Up A Walk-Off Homer To Giancarlo Stanton, MLB Had To Edit It Out
The Yankees capped a comeback from down 5-0 with a Giancarlo Stanton walk-off home run to beat the Mariners 7-5. It was Stanton’s first walk-off as a Yankee. Cool story. We’re not here for that. We’re here for the swear word!...
Dwight Howard Reaches Sad, Strange New Stage Of His Career
Here we are, again: Dwight Howard is switching teams for the fourth straight offseason.

Mike Trout Has Made Seven Outs In His Last Eight Games
There’s no other way to say it: Mike Trout is in Barry Bonds territory. Not merely statistically, as noted by former Deadspinner Emma Baccellieri, who is either dead or at SI now, I forget which. But in the fear he engenders in opponents, who will pitch to him only when they absolutely must....

Mike Trout Doesn't Deserve This Shit
Mike Trout got on base four times against the Diamondbacks on Monday night, thanks to two walks and two singles. Trout is basically always on base—he’s currently sporting a career-high .464 OBP—so that’s not a remarkable thing in and of itself. Neither is the fact that his teammates failed to drive ...

Thursday night in Toronto former Blue Jays All-Star third baseman Kelly Gruber participated in a panel discussion for PitchTalks, which describes itself as “touring, interactive baseball event.” The event was coordinated around this weekend’s Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame festivities, an event at w...
The Hater's Guide To The 2018 World Cup
The World Cup: truly a tradition unlike any other, except I guess for the Olympics which it is kind of like in the sense that a bunch of people who only care about a thing every four years suddenly care about it so much. Most of the world, of course, cares about soccer a great deal all the time, but...
Erik Karlsson's Wife Melinda Accuses Teammate's Girlfriend Of Extended Harassment Campaign
