Joe Nathan Goes All <i>Joe Nathan</i>
The Rays just came back to tie the Rangers at three in the 11th inning at the Trop thanks to this base-slap that just missed Joe Nathan's glove. Just one pitch after Freddy Guzmán stole second and one strike away from his 40th save, Nathan gave up the game-tying run to David DeJesus. We've seen thi...

Yu Darvish Is Just Toying With Batters Now
You might think this clip came straight out of a Gas-House Gorillas-Tea Totallers game, but it only looks like a cartoon. Yu Darvish so thoroughly confounded Trevor Plouffe with this lazy curveball that he began his swing on Thursday....

First it was Matt Holliday. Then it was Alex Gordon. Now it's A.J. Pierzynski. Moths are not just positively phototactic. They're also drawn to baseball players. It's science....
Here's The Controversial Call That Ruined Yu Darvish's Perfect Game
Yu Darvish had retired the first 17 batters he faced (that's like a 1-2-3 inning against non-Astros teams!). He got what he thought was strike three against Jonathan Villar to end the sixth, but home plate ump Ron Kulpa didn't see it that way....

Matt Garza Went On A Misogynistic Rant Because Of A Squeeze Play
Matt Garza often has issues throwing to first base and the Athletics—who attempted four bunts yesterday, including Coco Crisp's game-opening single and Eric Sogard's sacrifice immediately after—had an obvious plan to try to get in Garza's head. Turns out, it worked. Also turns out, Matt Garza has is...
The Phillies Might Have To Trade Michael Young For A Bag Of Balls
The Phillies are going to trade Michael Young by tomorrow's deadline; they have to. They're going nowhere, they just called up their third baseman of the future and Young, a free agent to be, could bring a midlevel prospect in return. There's only one problem: according to a report, Young just slit ...

Elvis Andrus Is Still Fucking With Adrian Beltre
Elvis Andrus just can’t help himself. We’ve watched him spend a good part of the last few seasons messing with teammate Adrian Beltre on and off the field, but somehow his routine never gets old. Andrus’s latest bit of shenanigans took place during last night’s Rangers-Orioles game. ...
Manny Ramirez Is Comin’ Back, Everyone
Manny Ramirez, the guy from all those cool Taiwanese home-run videos (he also once played major-league baseball), has signed a minor-league deal with the Texas Rangers. He will report to Triple-A Round Rock. He is 41 years old; he made his big-league debut nearly 20 years ago; he hasn't appeared in ...
The Toronto Blue Jays Are Out Of The AL East Basement, Barely
The Blue Jays were so far south of their preseason projections that even after a 10-game winning streak they're still the most disappointing team in baseball this season. But! After a wild 11-day charge, they've gone from 12 games back in the AL East to 6.5 back. They're now above .500 for the first...
David Ortiz Hit A Walk-Off Home Run That's Famous As Fuck
