Vin Scully Talks About Babies
Would you listen to 10 minutes of Vin Scully talking about happy babies? Of course you would. Unfortunately, we only have half a minute here, but listen to it anyway. It’s quite relaxing....
Kyle Seager Trolled Jered Weaver Into Getting Ejected
You probably won’t see a beanball more obviously deliberate than the one Jered Weaver laid on Kyle Seager in last night’s 3-1 Mariners win. Or one more nonchalant....
We Might Actually Get A Barry Zito Versus Tim Hudson Matchup
After rosters expanded on September 1st and the Oakland A’s didn’t bring up Barry Zito—who has been toiling away in Triple-A Nashville all year—it was reported that he wasn’t going to come up this season. But after starting pitcher Jesse Chavez fractured a rib the team reversed course, once again pr...
Slava Voynov, In Immigration Custody, Says He Will Voluntarily Return To Russia
Two weeks ago Los Angeles Kings defenseman Slava Voynov completed a 90-day sentence (though he ultimately served just under 60 days) after pleading no contest to domestic violence charges. Upon his release from jail, Voynov was immediately scooped into custody by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enf...
Alessandro Florenzi Shoots From Goddamn Mars, Draws Roma Level With Barcelona
Barcelona keeper Marc-André ter Stegen has already used his aggressive positioning to break up Roma attacks, but this is always a threat when your keeper stands so far off his line. But holy smokes, this is some hit....
Don't Laugh: Metta World Peace Can Help The Lakers
News surfaced last week that Metta World Peace had been working out at the Lakers practice facility and was getting close to a one-year deal with the team. Let Woj tell it. “Inching closer”/“an increasing expectation,” la di da. The important part is holy shit the Lakers might sign Metta World Peace...
This Is A Really Good Baseball Photo
I love this photo, taken by the AP’s Danny Moloshok during the fifth inning of last night’s game between the Rockies and Dodgers. That’s Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner taking a very hard slide into second while trying to break up a double play, sending Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado high i...
Video Shows 49ers Fans Beating Vikings Fan In Parking Lot
A video uploaded by Brandon Cosio after Monday night’s Vikings-49ers game appears to show a group of 49ers fans kicking and punching a Vikings fan in an Antoine Winfield jersey in a parking lot outside of Levi’s Stadium. As a warning, the video’s rough to watch....
Jim Tomsula Should Be Your Favorite Coach
We made a lot of jokes at Jim Tomsula’s expense after the 49ers tabbed him as their new head coach, because he exudes an appearance that screams “cautionary tale,” (or perhaps “hardware salesman”) but here’s the truth: the man’s undefeated. With his win as an interim coach in 2010, and last night’s ...
Australian Sportswriter Liveblogs 49ers Game, Discovers Just How Dumb Football Can Be
People in Australia are understandably excited about Jarryd Hayne, a former Australian rugby star who earned himself a roster spot on the San Francisco 49ers. Given that last night was his NFL debut, the Guardian had Australian sportswriter Matt Cleary liveblog the game for the folks in Hayne’s home...
Jackass Fights With Adrian Gonzalez For Foul Ball
So here’s some dickhead wearing a Red Sox cap fighting with Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez for a foul ball. Gonzalez won, but he was obviously pretty pissed off. And why shouldn’t he be? The Dodgers aren’t even playing the Red Sox!...
DeAndre Jordan Snapchatted Doc Rivers's Son (Not Austin) To Say He Wanted To Return
We know that after agreeing to join the Dallas Mavericks in free agency, DeAndre Jordan had second thoughts and eventually re-signed with the Clippers. What we didn’t know—until now—were the mechanics of how Jordan got back in contact with the Clippers, and they’re even funnier than you could have p...
Good Dodgers Fan Flips Off The Whole World
The Dodgers got themselves beat by the Angels last night, losing 3-2 after Kole Calhoun’s eighth-inning double set up the game-winning run. Here is how one Dodgers fan felt about that double:...
Jarryd Hayne Ruined A Cornerback's Night
Despite a 49ers offseason that featured chaos, abrupt retirements, and the installation of a retired barstool as head coach, there is at least one nice story on the team: Jarryd Hayne. The 27-year-old former rugby league player played well enough in the preseason to merit serious consideration for a...
The Mets Have A Matt Harvey Problem
It’s as if some higher power looked at the NL East standings, noticed the Mets’ six-game lead on the Nationals, said, “Things can’t possibly be going this perfectly for the goddamn Mets!” and then put CBS Sports’ Jon Heyman on the phone with Scott Boras and Mets GM Sandy Alderson....

The Dodgers Are Convinced They Got A Hit
Jake Arrieta’s no-hitter had one close call: Kike Hernandez’s hard-hit ball to Starlin Castro in the third inning that the Dodger Stadium official scorer ruled an error. At the time, no one figured it would matter, but after the game players insisted they deserved to be one-hit....
Frank Clark Keeps Punching People And This Time It's Philip Rivers
San Diego Chargers players are mad at Seattle Seahawks rookie Frank Clark today, after he punched Philip Rivers in a scrum during last night’s preseason game in San Diego. As you can see, Rivers holds onto Clark after the play, which looks like it angered him. King Dunlap emphatically pulled Clark o...
