Blake Griffin Picked Up A Cool New Skill In The Offseason (Throwing Shoes At People)

They say the summer is a time to refine your game, learn new skills, and hone your craft. Blake Griffin took that to heart, apparently, and his new skill is cool as hell. It’s throwing shoes at opponents. Cory Joseph probably thought he was not going to catch Jamal Crawford’s size 17 to the mouth to...

Here's The Guy That Toronto Police Say Threw A Beer On The Field Last Night [Update]

It looks like a ghost was, in fact, not responsible for throwing that beer can at Hyun Soo Kim last night. This afternoon, the Toronto Police released a photo of the guy they say did it, and he looks like a henchman of ill repute. They released a short statement along with the photo:...

This Is The Closest We've Gotten To Finding The Beer-Throwing Blue Jays Fan

The police have not yet identified the shithead Blue Jays fan that tossed a beer at Hyun Soo Kim last night, who the team said was able to slink off into the night before security could apprehend them. This, despite the rigorous work done by certified expert internet investigators such as myself. Wh...

The Beer-Throwing Blue Jays Fan Got Away

There’s a pattern here. Four years ago at the Rogers Centre someone nailed an umpire with a beer. Three years ago a fan chucked a full beer can at the Orioles’ Nate McLouth. In last year’s ALDS, the crowd protested a bizarre play by littering the field with trash, a scene lowlighted by a baby being ...

Buck Showalter Fucked Up

I watched Buck Showalter neglect to use his lights-out closer in the ninth and tenth and eleventh innings of a tied, loser-goes-home baseball game, and I watched it work for two of those innings! All I can say is: I’ve seen people at the blackjack table hit on 17 and get 21, too. I’ve never seen any...

Edwin Encarnacion Hit A Walk-Off To Goddamn Mars To Put The Blue Jays Through

The Blue Jays beat the Orioles in the eleventh inning of tonight’s Wild Card game thanks to a huge three-run dinger from Edwin Encarnacion. Encarnacion was the third batter that Ubaldo Jimenez faced after he came into the game with one out in the eleventh. He allowed both baserunners to reach on sin...

Rude Jays Fan Throws A Beer At Hyun Soo Kim, Nearly Brains Him

An extremely rude Blue Jays fan tossed beer at Orioles left fielder Hyun Soo Kim as the Orioles closed out the seventh inning. It nearly hit him, and right after it hit the grass, Kim and Adam Jones immediately turned to the crowd and tried to identify the beer tosser....

Jose Bautista Kicks Off MLB Playoffs With Towering Dong

Hell yeah buddy, the MLB playoffs are back. Jose Bautista hit a tall dinger to score he first run of the postseason in the second inning. Bautista got way under this 3-1 pitch from Chris Tillman, but that didn’t matter, since he hit it to the dang moon....

Root For The Blue Jays In The Playoffs

The unruly Bat Flip Boys are at it again. A year after bashing their way through the AL East and into the hearts of scalawags everywhere, the Toronto Blue Jays have made the playoffs (or at least the watered down, expanded version of the playoffs) in consecutive years for the first time since winnin...

Blue Jays, Orioles, Giants Win; Disturbed Fans Who Anticipated Tiebreaker Games Lose<em></em>

Baseball’s postseason is set after a day that brought promises of excitement like we saw on the final day of 2011's regular season but delivered the most predictable and boring result as all three teams that controlled their own destiny won, shutting out the pretenders that hoped to force tiebreaker...

The Blue Jays Are Beefing With The Local Media

The Toronto Blue Jays are in a tight race for the American League wild card, and last night’s loss to the Orioles didn’t make things any easier. They are now facing a three-game series against the Red Sox, and need to hold off the Tigers and Mariners, who are 1.5 and two games back, respectively. It...

Beef! We've Got Yankees-Blue Jays Beef!

The Blue Jays appear comfortably in the playoffs, and the Yankees solidly out, so why not devote a late September divisional game almost entirely to beefing, and the settling of said beefs, and to setting up beefs to come?...

Jose Bautista Admires Huge Dinger With A Backwards Home Run Trot

The AL wild card-leading Blue Jays got shut down by King Felix Hernandez this afternoon, managing just pair of hits over seven innings. Fear not. Jose Bautista has a flair for situations like these. With one out in the ninth inning, Bautista sent an Edwin Diaz fastball to the dang moon, then trotted...

Ben Cherington Is Back In Baseball As Not-A-GM For The Blue Jays

Amanda Knox—aka Foxy Knoxy, the American student accused, convicted, and then acquitted (twice) of murdering her roommate Meredith Kercher in Italy in 2007—is in Toronto this weekend to promote a forthcoming Netflix documentary that reexamines the case. ...

The Yankees Are Not Dead

The Yankees are, impressively and unexpectedly, still relevant. Despite trading away or easing into retirement much of their high-priced veteran talent, New York has hung around. Here we are on Sept. 7, there’s a crispness to the air, the kids are heading back to school—and the Yankees are 4.5 games...
