Terry Francona Goes To The Mound To Tell Pitcher He Made The Team
Terry Francona seems like a pretty rad dude. During Monday's spring training game against the Reds, the Indians manager went to the mound to remove pitcher Blake Wood from the game. At the time, Wood still didn't know whether he had made the roster or not. Francona, however, knew that Wood had made ...

Terry Pendleton Roughed Up Chris Johnson For Sliding Into First Base
We've proven time and again that sliding into first base gets you there slower than if you run through it. Chris Johnson joined that Idiot Club of first-base-sliders and ended the Braves' rally tonight against the Phillies. His punishment was an enraged Terry Pendleton getting physical with him in ...
Cleveland Beat Enamored With Terry Francona, Being Nicer Than Boston
This is a fun little video of Terry Francona charmingly bullshitting with the Cleveland media in his office before today's game against the Twins. He talks about riding his scooter, high-fiving cops and run-ins with drunken youngsters. ...
Terry Bradshaw: "I Wouldn't Have Fucked His Old, Ugly-Ass Mother"
Maybe you're wondering, on this crisp Saturday morning, Deadspin, how could we possibly know if Terry Bradshaw would or would not fuck some unidentified person's old, ugly-ass mother?

Mets Utility Player Reportedly Calls His Manager A Cocksucker

Tony Randazzo Ejected Mike Aviles From A Game That Was Already Over
When we profiled umpire Tony Randazzo last year, we noted he had an "aggressive attitude." That aggression was on display tonight in New York, as the ump blew a call with two outs in the ninth inning, tossed Mike Aviles from the game after it was already over, then taunted Indians skipper Terry Fra...
The Latest Mets Scandal Is So Stupid Even By Mets Scandal Standards
Jordany "Took a Spring Training Fastball Right To The Dick" Valdespin doesn't do a whole lot on the Mets. He doesn't walk, he can't play much defense, and he's hitting .235. He pinch-hits, with a start in center or at second every so often. He'll steal a base or hit a home run on a special day. But ...
Jason Terry Prolongs Celtics-Knicks Series
At the end of the first half, Boston owned a 54-35 lead over the Knicks.
