What The Hell Did The Mets Do To Steven Matz?
On Monday, the Mets announced that young starter Steven Matz was being shut down. Manager Terry Collins insisted that Matz was not hurt, telling reporters, “This is not an injury, this is not an injury ... If he had to pitch he could pitch tomorrow.” A few hours later, the Mets announced that Matz w...

Mets Manager Terry Collins Ejected After Umps Reverse Ball Boy Interference
Today, the Mets found themselves in minor drama that had nothing to do with a rebellious mascot.

<i>Denver Post</i> Columnist Fired After Racist Tweet About Indy 500 Winner

The Mets Bullpen Is A Confusing Wasteland
As the Mets rotation has increasingly become a desperate bunch of relatively interchangeable substitute scraps, their bullpen hasn’t fared any better. Over the past month, the team’s relief corps has been the worst in baseball—below replacement level as a unit, actively costing wins rather than doin...
John Terry's Questionable Substitution In His Last Chelsea Match Was Probably Fine But He Still Sucks
On Sunday, Chelsea captain and one of the most unlikeable men in sports John Terry bid farewell to his club of 22 years after he was subbed off in the 26th minute of the club’s 5-1 drubbing of Sunderland. It was an orchestrated tribute to his uniform number, and Sunderland keeper Jordan Pickford obl...
Terry Francona Won't Stop Owning Rays Manager Kevin Cash In Increasingly Public Ways
Rays manager Kevin Cash played for Terry Francona on the Red Sox for three seasons and coached alongside Francona with the Indians from 2012-2014. He took the Rays job after leaving the Indians, and since then, Francona has welcomed Cash back to Cleveland by messing with him. In 2015, he played some...

Terry Watson, an ex-NFL agent who represented Cortland Finnegan and a handful of other players, agreed to a plea deal in a North Carolina court this afternoon and was sentenced to a suspended jail sentence of six-to-eight months for providing three NFL-bound UNC players with money in 2010. Because h...

Terry Stotts Wishes George Karl Would Just Stop Talking
God bless George Karl, whose incendiary book and accelerant-spraying press tour have given the NBA community something to unite against this holiday season, and given us blogs some sweet, sweet content during these dark days on the sports calendar. As if blaming Carmelo Anthony and Kenyon Martin for...
Mike Tomlin Had A Pretty Good Comeback To Terry Bradshaw
Just in case you missed the fluffiest controversy of the holiday weekend, former Steelers legend Terry Bradshaw went on TV and gave a not-so-glowing endorsement of Mike Tomlin:...
Tim Tebow's Baseball Career May Be Resurrected This Spring
By pretty much any and every baseball metric, aspiring outfielder Timothy R. Tebow did not have a successful stint in the Arizona Fall League. His .194 batting average (.242 slugging) included 20 strikeouts in 70 plate appearances. But when it comes to attracting interest (guilty) in otherwise mean...
Maybe Not The Best Time To Dap Up Your Friend, J.R. Smith
Jason Terry is a nice guy and a great shooter. Who isn’t amused by his insane sock habits and propensity for bold tattoos? I’d love to chat with him. But the worst possible time for that chat would be right in the middle of a professional basketball game in which I was responsible for playing defens...
Terry Francona Eats Garbage Late At Night And I Get It
We all (and by “we all” I mean “I”) remember the tale of Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona eating 17 popsicles in one night. It was his second-greatest achievement after winning the 2004 World Series, and well ahead of winning the 2007 World Series. Over time, it’s clear that Tito has a prope...
Cleveland Didn't Even Need A Starter Last Night<em></em>
Losing your starting pitcher two outs into a playoff game is supposed to be a nightmare for any manager, but all it meant for Terry Francona last night was that he got to put the game into the hands of a bullpen that has yet to fail him....
Terry Francona Demonstrates How To Manage A Playoff Bullpen
“Nobody ever said you have to be conventional to win,” Indians manager Terry Francona said last night, but I’d argue there are few things in baseball more conventional than using your best reliever to face an opponent’s best hitters in a one-run game. And so what if it was the fifth inning? The next...
Terry Collins Had A Good Manager Rant
Yesterday, the Mets got smoked 9-0 by the Arizona Diamondbacks, a bad baseball team that somehow managed a three-game sweep against New York. Mets manager Terry Collins was not happy with his team’s effort level during the series, and expressed his displeasure in a postgame rant....
Terry Collins Got Sassy With The Mets' PR Director
The Mets had a stressful afternoon yesterday. In one inning against the Kansas City Royals, Noah Syndergaard and Yoenis Cespedes left the game with elbow discomfort and a wrist sprain, respectively. Things were looking pretty ominous for a bit:...
