College Baseball Player Takes A Slider Right To The Dick
Cal State Fullerton's Austin Kingsolver only got two plate appearances in yesterday's game against Arizona State, and he probably wishes that he could have skipped the first one. In the top of the seventh inning, Arizona State pitcher Josh McAlister let a 3-2 slider get away from him and sent the p...
Reporter Gets In A "Tongue Twat" Trying To Congratulate Cliff Lee
Cliff Lee recorded career strikeout number 1600 yesterday, and Philadelphia reporter Sigourney McCreaf wanted to relay some fans' congratulations to Lee on the Phillies postgame show. Unfortunately, she got her tongue all twatted up. ...
This German Keeper's Own Goal Against USA Is The Worst Own Goal
This is promising German goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen, and holy shit....
This Own Goal From Chivas USA Defender Mario de Luna Makes Us Sad
Midway through the first half in last night's MLS clash between the Seattle Sounders and Chivas USA, Sounders midfielder Mauro Rosales broke free down the right flank and lofted a ball into the box towards an open Obafemi Martins. But Rosales overshot his target, and the cross floated all the way to...
Chicago's Go-Ahead Goal Was Waved Off Because Of Off-Setting Penalties
Coincidental minor penalties and 1:47 are all that stood between the Chicago Blackhawks and a Game 7 win over the Red Wings. ...
OF Trips On Bullpen Mound, Fails To Make Catch, Plays For Marlins
Poor Marcell Ozuna just can't catch a break. The Marlins rightfielder actually saw where this fly ball was going off the bat of Evan Longoria, and he probably would have caught it if not for that bullpen mound. That stupid, reckless, what-the-fuck-is-that-doing-there bullpen mound....
This Might Be The Worst Double Play Call You'll See
This is not a double play. It would've been, probably, if Texas Rangers first baseman Mitch Moreland caught the ball to end the play. But he didn't catch the ball. Someone else caught the ball....
A Brief Oral History Of The Best Jump Ball Of All Time
On Tuesday night, Matt Bonner and Zach Randolph combined to create the above piece of comedic gold. I caught up with Bonner, who claimed he still hasn't seen the replay of the play, although he plans to now. "I have a sense of humor," he said. "Someone told me that Jeff Van Gundy was joking about it...
Soccer Player Scores, Takes Off Shorts To Celebrate, Gets Red Card
This is Mario Gjurovski, a Macedonian soccer player who plays for Muangthong United FC in the Thai Premier League. He's sometimes a scorer of good goals, we assume, and when he scored his most recent on Saturday against TOT, he celebrated by taking his shorts off....
The Wall Is In Bryce Harper's Head
After Bryce Harper clumsily ran face-first into the right-field wall at Dodger Stadium, we were assured—by Harper himself and others—that the incident would not prevent Harper from “playing hard” in the future. Those assurances may have been given a bit hastily....
Matt Bonner And Zach Randolph Give Us The Best Jump Ball Of All Time
This was absolutely the highlight of last night's Grizzlies-Spurs game. There's just something refreshing about watching two NBA players flail around like a couple of hapless rec leaguers. I hope every remaining game in this series features multiple jump balls between Randolph and Bonner, each endin...
The Memphis Grizzlies Are Struggling Tonight
San Antonio's leading Memphis by 15 at the half, but even given the Grizzlies' struggles that's a bit of surprise; neither team has looked especially good tonight....
Santa Clara And Houston Will Host The 2016 And 2017 Super Bowls
At the NFL spring meetings in Boston this afternoon, owners voted to award Super Bowls L and LI—in 2016 and 2017—to the Bay Area and Houston. That leaves Miami as the only finalist to go home empty-handed. Should've paid for those stadium renovations, South Florida!...

Pitcher Tim Lincecum Slips, Busts Ass, Gets Called For a Balk
Last night, San Francisco Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum was on the mound against the Colorado Rockies. In the fourth inning he lined up to throw a pitch, slipped, and toppled over. He got called for a balk....
Golfer Hits Tee Shot Into A Bathroom, Sends Announcers Into Giggles
Yesterday in the quarterfinals of the Volvo World Match Play Championship, Nicolas Colsaerts hit a tee shot on a par-4 that flew off the course, over the rest area, and into a bathroom. Because the ball landed in a hazard, a rules official was summoned, who determined that the nearest "point of reli...
Here's Jake "The Snake" Roberts Singing At Last Night's Braves Game
So last night the Atlanta Braves played the Dodgers. They won, which was expected. What wasn't expected was ex-professional wrestler Jake "The Snake" Roberts making a cameo to lead everyone in singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the seventh-inning stretch. That's what happened, though....
The Astros Lost On A Moronic Walk-Off Error
"Looks like we're going to extra innings." That's what Greg Brown, the Pirates' TV broadcaster, said as soon as Russell Martin made contact on this fly ball to shallow right-center. But Brown should have known better. Because it ain't over till the Astros have finished tying all of their shoelaces t...
