O.C.P. Now Stands For 'Opening Crap Pitch'
RoboCop threw out the ceremonial first pitch in Detroit today, and it was only marginally better than his latest movie.

Yu Darvish Throws An Eephus Pitch, And Torii Hunter's Brain Breaks

Cleveland Fan Takes Baseball Square In The Face
This guy at the Tigers-Indians game tonight was really excited to get a baseball from Asdrubal Cabrera.

The Tigers Will Not Turn Down For Anything

Umpire Taps Torii Hunter In The Face After Benches Clear
Umpire Paul Nauert gently slapped, or tapped, Torii Hunter in the face tonight during Detroit's game against the Orioles and it's kind of a strange thing.

LSU Outfielder Makes One Of The Best Catches You'll Ever See
LSU entered the bottom of the 9th in College Station tonight up 4-0 on Texas A&M. A Tigers pitching meltdown, though, left the bases loaded and the game tied with two outs.

Phil Coke Serves Up A Home Run And A Fantastic Quote
