Edwin Encarnacion Hit The Crap Out Of A Baseball
See that big white billboard? That thing is on the top of a building that sits across the street from Fenway Park, on the other side of the green monster. Last night, Blue Jays slugger Edwin Encarnacion nailed that billboard with a home run ball....

Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley, Jr. undid his braids, and now he's got a fantastic afro....
Thank God For David Ortiz
Yu Darvish was perfect through the seventh inning against the Red Sox last night until David Ortiz hit a routine pop-up into shallow right field. It fell between Alex Rios and Rougned Odor and was officially ruled an error, thus preserving a no-hitter. For two innings the baseball world sat on the p...
Watch Rare Footage Of The Black Sox Throwing The 1919 World Series
What we have here is, to my knowledge, the best* surviving footage of the 1919 World Series. It's pretty amazing, not least because it allows you to watch the infamous Black Sox actually throwing a game....
Yankee Fan Wins $1.5M After City Wouldn't Let Him Open "Buck Foston" Bar

José Abreu Is The Game's Best Old-Fashioned Slugger
José Abreu had himself a damn weekend. On Friday night, he clubbed two home runs—including a walk-off grand slam that nearly led to old bastard Hawk Harrelson having an on-air joy-aneurysm—and drove in six runs against the Tampa Bay Rays. On Sunday, he came away with two more hits and four more RBI,...
Hawk Harrelson Takes To MLB Network To Complain About Hemorrhoids
Chicago White Sox announcer Hawk Harrelson turned up on Chris "Mad Dog" Russo's MLB Network show High Heat yesterday, and things went pretty much exactly as you'd expect, with lots of talk about Carl Yastrzemski, Tony La Russa, and this year's purportedly dangerous White Sox squad. There was also th...
Awful Man Snatches Souvenir Baseball Away From Little Kid
Perhaps there will come a day when adults will stop stealing baseballs away from kids, but this is not that day. This dude right here is shameless, and has obviously never consulted this handy chart. Behavior like this is only acceptable if you are stealing a ball from this awful Australian kid....
Meb's Yankees-Red Sox First Pitch Not Total Disaster
It can be tough for distance runners to use their emaciated upper bodies for most things other than ballast, but Boston Marathon winner Meb Keflezighi's first pitch at the Yankees-Red Sox game last night wasn't a total disaster. A little outside, sure, but just watch how the bottom drops out. ...
Michael Pineda Again Isn't Discreet About His Pine Tar, Gets Ejected
The last time Yankees pitcher Michael Pineda faced the Red Sox—on April 10—he clearly had pine tar on his hand. No one on the Red Sox brought it up, and the Yankees won. Tonight, Pineda again used pine tar, slapping on his neck before the second inning. Red Sox manager John Farrell spoke up this tim...
Here Comes The Pizza...Forever
April 16, 2007, the greatest moment that has ever—or could ever—grace the Red Sox's annual Patriots' Day morning game. If you haven't seen the entire Pizza Affair before, rectify that now. And if you have, let's give thanks for this perfect moment of baseball history....

Drunk Red Sox Fan Heckles Yankee Fans, Speaks In Tongues
This very confused young man, who seems to think that Dez Bryant has something to do with the Boston Red Sox and that people can actually understand the words that are coming out of his mouth, was spotted at Sunday's game between the Red Sox and Yankees. He probably had too much to drink....
Is MLB Replay Just Making Things More Complicated?
"It's extremely difficult to have any faith in the process that's being used," Red Sox manager John Farrell said of MLB's new replay review procedure, which went against Boston on consecutive days. "On the heels of yesterday, it's hard to have any faith in the system."...
Jose Abreu And Danny Salazar Make Meaningless Game Something Special
If you're the kind of person who lacks the requisite attention span to sit through all nine innings of a baseball game, last night's game between the White Sox and Indians was perfect for you. You only needed to stick around for five innings of baseball in order to catch all of the awesomeness packe...
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. It clearly wasn't dirt. But was it cheating? That depends on whether you listen to ...
Hawk Harrelson Should Probably Not Suggest "Asians" Are "Deceptive"
Chen-Chang Lee is a pitcher for the Indians. He's from Taiwan. During tonight's broadcast of Cleveland's bout in Chicago against the White Sox, horrible broadcaster Ken "Hawk" Harrelson painted Lee with some broad and ambiguously racist strokes....
