Ángel Pagán's Walk-Off Inside-The-Park Home Run Was Just Foolish
So this is what the San Francisco Giants do. Sort of. They lead the majors with seven walk-off home runs already this year, so we guess that they found a way to win at home to the Rockies even when they were down 5-4 in the 10th inning shouldn't be too much of a surprise. This, though, wasn't just a...

What Happened To The Jokes? <em>The Hangover, Part III,</em> Reviewed.
1. The Hangover, Part III is better than Part II, but not by much, and really only because it didn't just recycle, almost beat for beat, the plot of the first film. The plot it lands on this time isn't much better, though, and all told, it doesn't have much more energy than that film did. The two se...

The Memphis Grizzlies, everyone's new favorite team to win the Western Conference finals and get to the NBA Championship and perhaps maybe beat the Miami Heat to a Three 6 Mafia soundtrack, just got lit up by the old-ass Spurs, 105-83. It didn't even feel that close, save for a cute third-quarter ru...

It's May, which means it's time once again for actors and writers and politicians and whatever Thomas Friedman is to hit the graduation circuit and hold senior classes hostage for hours and hours in 85-degree heat. These grad speeches are little more than TED talks in funny hats. Trust me: One day...

OK, The NFL Draft Has Gone Too Far

These guys are carrying stupid football hats in glass cases like each one of them is the fucking Hope Diamond, and that is just so stupid. Just look at them, smugly posing for photos and walking ...
Yes, Troy Tulowitzki Did Have A Mullet When He Was An Adorable Child
We've always been big fans Troy Tulowitzki's once-prodigious mullet (bring it back, Troy!), but until today, we had no idea that it was also an homage to Tulo's younger days.
