Adam Haseley Kept Everyone Guessing After His Spectacular Catch
On a daily basis, professional athletes do things that normal people couldn’t dream of doing. But at least most of the time they seem kind of excited about their superhuman feats!

Bryce Harper's Walk-Off Grand Slam Was Pure Catharsis
The Philadelphia Phillies were down to the Chicago Cubs entering the bottom of the ninth inning Thursday night.

The Cubs Were Screwed By The Worst Strike Three Call Of The Season, Maybe Of All Time
Maybe it’s time to let our robot umpire overlords reign supreme.

Baseball is always at its weirdest in deep extra innings, and thanks to Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Vince Velasquez, we have another point of evidence for that axiom.

Nonchalant Idiot On The Field Arrested For Picking Inopportune Time To Say Hello To Phillies' Brad Miller
A Pirates-Phillies game was interrupted on Sunday in the top of the sixth by one of the slowest idiots on the field.
