John Farrell To Sassy Fan: "Why Don't You Shut Your Ass Up?"
Last night’s game between the Red Sox and Yankees, the final game the two will play against each other this season, was fairly uneventful. David Ortiz got some cheers from the New York crowd, C.C. Sabathia pitched well, and John Farrell kept most of his stars off the field....

Dellin Betances Chose A Bad Time To Unravel
There are few safer bets for a bullpen than Dellin Betances—which makes sense, seeing as how he strikes out more than 40 percent of the batters he faces. So when the Yankees handed Betances a 5-2 lead in the ninth inning of Thursday’s game against the Red Sox, a win seemed all but guaranteed....
Yankees-Red Sox Game Delayed By Stuck Fenway Door

MLB Owns Darren Rovell Online For Posting Erroneous Picture
Darren Rovell—a living, breathing blazer from Northwestern’s business school—is fond of tweeting out pictures.
