The Pirates And Reds Hit All The Home Runs
The Bucs and Reds combined for 10 home runs in just six innings, before being suspended due to rain. Here are all 10 of them, hit to dwindling crowds, increasing rain, and—because it was Cincinnati's "Bark in the Park" promotion—presumably a growing stench of wet dog fur....

Michael Pineda Was Cheating And No One Cares
"It's just dirt, nothing to see here" was Michael Pineda's general reaction to being accused of glopping up the heel of his hand with some unknown substance in a strong pitching performance against Boston last night.

Here's Why You Should Be Excited About Billy Hamilton
Reds center fielder Billy Hamilton only played in 13 games with the big club after making his major-league debut in September last year, so you might not be very familiar with what kind of player he is.

Brayan Villarreal Threw Only Four Pitches To Get A World Series Ring
Reliever Brayan Villarreal didn't throw a strike for the Red Sox last season. In his only appearance with the team, he gave up a walkoff walk to Marco Scutaro for a 3-2 Giants win. But despite his forgettable appearance, Villarreal still received a World Series ring on Friday at Fenway Park....
Report: The Eagles Seriously Hated DeSean Jackson
Football fans are smarter than teams and media give them credit for. When the Eagles released DeSean Jackson, they could easily have said, "Jackson is a great player, but between his sometimes-spotty play and his occasional inability to get along with coaches and teammates, we don't believe he's wor...
Matt Adams Shoves Fan After Diving For Foul Ball; Fan Flips The Bird

At some point during the meal, their truck slipped out of park and rolled into the car in ...
Will DeSean Jackson Make Washington Better?

How Did Washington Get DeSean Jackson So Cheap?
The Philadelphia faithful will have their chance next season to tell DeSean Jackson exactly what they think of him, when he returns as the newest member of a divisional rival.
