Uruguay are in big trouble at the Copa America after dropping their opener to Mexico, 3-1 on Sunday, then falling 1-0 to Venezuela this evening.

Richard Sherman Is Fed Up With Publicly Funded Stadiums
Seahawks cornerback and all-around good-opinion-haver Richard Sherman was talking politics on the radio yesterday, in a mostly jokey interview where he said that if he were elected President, he’d tap Doug Baldwin as his Secretary of Defense because “he’s an angry guy.” But this part wasn’t jokey:...

Let's Check In On Tim Lincecum
Throughout his highly-publicized rehab from hip surgery this past offseason, former ace Tim Lincecum was clear on one thing: He was working hard to come back as a starter, despite the moderate success he’d found pitching out of the bullpen for the Giants in several stints since the 2012 playoffs....

U.S. Soccer Boss Hints Trump Presidency Could Cost U.S. The World Cup
Donald Trump—one of the gremlins from Gremlins, but racist—is most likely going to be the nominee of the Republican party. As outlandish as his political takes are, and as favored as his likely opponent is, there’s a legit shot he becomes the next president of the United States. One effect of a Trum...

The New Stadium For Hartford's Minor League Baseball Team Is A Total Mess
The Rockies’ AA affiliate Hartford Yard Goats are performing well enough in their first season, and sit in third place in the Eastern League, but the Connecticut club’s stadium situation is a different story. To make matters worse, the mayor and developers are blaming each other for the fiasco....

Cobb County Needs To Raise Taxes To Pay For Public Parks Because All The Park Money Already Went To The Braves' New Stadium

Donald Trump Doesn't Know Shit About The Bay Area
Vulgar olive loaf Donald Trump is hitting the campaign trail in California in advance of the state’s June 7 primary. A good way to appeal to your constituents is to show that you’re “one of them” by feigning nominal interest in their sports teams. If you do this, though, you should have a working se...

Madison Bumgarner Socked Another Madison Bumdinger
In the top of the fifth inning of today’s game against the Braves, Giants ace Madison Bumgarner came to the plate with no outs, a man on first, and the scored tied at zero.

Soft Serve Is The Best Thing About Summer
A soft serve swirl in a cone with rainbow sprinkles (not jimmies) might be the world’s most perfect confection on a hot day. Persuasive arguments could make a strong case for chocolate cake or even a really good pudding. However, a soft serve swirl—chocolate and vanilla, in a cone, with rainbow spri...

The Giants Are Asking San Francisco For Millions In Tax Breaks
The San Francisco Giants have long peddled a charming fiction about their ballpark, billing it as the “the first privately financed ballpark in Major League Baseball since 1962.” That would be a fact worth commending if it were at all true, but according to a study conducted by urban planner Judith ...
