Chiefs Win, Cover Spread And Hit Total With Game-Ending, Otherwise Meaningless Fumble Return TD<em></em>
After wide receiver Josh Doctson dropped a pass that would have given Washington a go-ahead touchdown with less than a minute remaining, the team settled for a game-tying field goal. But a quick drive by the Chiefs put Kansas City back on top with a field goal of their own, and with just a few secon...
Billy Hamilton Was Picked Off At First And Still Scored A Run
Billy Hamilton, who leads MLB in stolen bases, was a little too eager to get another one Sunday against the Red Sox, as the Reds’ center fielder found himself in a pickle after he jumped on a pickoff throw. Dustin Pedroia’s error, however, not only bailed Hamilton out, but allowed him to get all the...
Luke Farrell Pitched A Scoreless Inning Against His Dad's Team, Like A Real Ingrate
Last night, John Farrell’s playoff-bound Boston Red Sox used a strong outing from Eduardo Rodriguez and some timely hitting to take a 5-0 lead into the ninth inning against the Cincinnati Reds, who are playing out the string on a lost season. Almost nothing was at stake in this game, but it still fo...
Reds, Padres, Mariners, Rockies Announce Plans To Expand Protective Netting
The Reds, Padres and Mariners announced today that they would be expanding protective netting at their ballparks, while the Rockies said that they were in talks to set official plans to do so. The announcements came one day after a young girl was struck by a line drive at Yankee Stadium and hospital...
Robert Griffin III And Santana Moss Are Sniping About Mike Shanahan's Firing
Former Washington wide receiver Santana Moss, who retired in 2014, went on 106.7 The Fan in Washington D.C. yesterday morning and dredged up some good gossip from the early-2010s Skins teams. Moss played with Robert Griffin III for three seasons, two of which came under coach Mike Shanahan. In their...
Washington Ends Su'a Cravens's Season Before He Gets A Chance To Show Up
Roughly two weeks ago, Washington safety Su’a Cravens abruptly told management that he planned to retire from the NFL. He didn’t say why, but the team apparently convinced him to change his mind for a little while and placed him on the exempt/left squad list, which would give him a month to decide w...

Red Sox Security Remove "Racism Is As American As Baseball" Banner Unfurled Over Green Monster [UPDATED]
A banner reading “Racism Is As American As Baseball” was briefly unfurled over the Green Monster between the top and bottom of the fourth inning of the A’s-Red Sox game at Fenway Park tonight....
Dennis Eckersley Recalls The Time He Got Wrecked By The Yankees After Getting Wrecked At Studio 54<em></em>
Saturday’s Red Sox-Rays game turned one-sided quickly, which gave NESN commentators Jerry Remy and Dennis Eckersley a chance to drift away from their duties and instead talk about their visits to the star-studded New York City nightclub and ‘70s hotspot Studio 54....
Bryan Price And Umpires Pause Argument For "God Bless America"
Not much worth paying attention to in Redsland these days, with Cincinnati dead last in the NL Central despite Sunday’s 10-5 win over the Mets. The rare exception? Manager Bryan Price’s beef with umpires, and the question of whether he’d keep it up in the face of the impending rendition of “God Bles...
There Was Skins-On-Skins Fighting In The Washington Stands Today
Football’s not back until the fans are brawling, and thankfully, we didn’t have to wait long. The Eagles defeated Washington today, but some hot-blooded Skins fans really wanted to come home feeling a win (apologies for any neck pain caused by trying to watch this video):...
Fletcher Cox Thought His Own TD Would Be Overturned<em></em>
The Eagles beat Washington today, 30-17, but the scoreline was a little misleading: Philly scored two touchdowns in the first half, then only managed field goals until a late fumble return touchdown from defensive lineman Fletcher Cox....
Hell Yes, Now The Red Sox Are Accusing The Yankees Of Cheating
If this sign-stealing scandal is truly going to reignite the rivalry between the Yankees and Red Sox, it needs to hit a few more stages of escalation. Thankfully, the Red Sox have reportedly brought us to Stage Two, by running to the commissioner’s office and yelling, But, but, but! The Yankees are ...
Red Sox Bosses Don't Like It When You Call Them To Chat About The Team's Sign-Stealing Scheme<em></em>
This morning, a day after news broke that the Red Sox allegedly used technology to steal signs from the Yankees, I called up executives from both teams to ask about how the smartwatch-assisted, sign-stealing operation came to be and what they thought would and should happen next....
Red Sox Outlast Blue Jays With Hanley Ramírez Walk-Off<em></em> In Brutal 19-Inning Slog
There was a point tonight—this morning, actually—when the Red Sox made a mid-17th-inning pitching change so that Ezequiel Carrera could face Fernando Abad instead of Blaine Boyer. That is what this Boston-Toronto game was. That, and the Blue Jays’ franchise-record 23 strikeouts. That’s it....
Report: Red Sox Used Smartwatch To Steal Signs Against Yankees
The Red Sox-Yankees rivalry hasn’t been particularly contentious for a while, with the last waypoint being that time Boston called out Michael Pineda for the obvious pine tar on his hand. Maybe a good sign-stealing feud will bring it back....
Skins Safety Su'a Cravens Tells Team He Plans To Retire Before Week 1
Washington safety Su’a Cravens reportedly informed team president Bruce Allen Sunday morning that he is retiring from the NFL, before the start of his second season as a professional. Cravens started three games for Washington last season as a rookie, and recorded 23 tackles and an interception in 1...
Well, Here Are The Yankees And Red Sox Bickering Over The Integrity Of Bunting
The Yankees beat the Red Sox, 6-2, tonight. The game included a first-inning bunt by Boston second baseman Eduardo Nuñez, which greatly displeased Yankees starter C.C. Sabathia, and now we have another riveting chapter in the storied rivalry between these two franchises....
Chris Sale Made Some People Look Very Stupid
Chris Sale pitched against the Toronto Blue Jays last night, and he struck out 11 batters in seven innings in a 3-0 win. “Struck out 11 batters” doesn’t quite describe what happened on that field, though. It’s more accurate to say that Sale demoralized 11 batters....
Chris Sale Has A Cleveland Problem
Chris Sale’s night in Cleveland on Thursday was shockingly bad by the Cy Young frontrunner’s 2017 standards, but unsurprising given what the Indians have done to Sale in his career. In an eventual 13-6 loss for the Red Sox, Sale gave up six earned runs (seven total) on seven hits and three walks. It...
