Controversial Mayweather Judge Steps Down
Floyd Mayweather outclassed Saul "Canelo" Alvarez on Sunday, landing twice as many punches over a 12-round dismantling.

The Man Who Doesn't Exist: How Canelo Álvarez Became A Myth
Juanacatlán, Jalisco, sits on the slopes of lush foothills, 20 miles southeast of Guadalajara.

Cleveland Meteorologist Delivers Entire Forecast Without Word "Heat"
No, Clevelanders aren't bitter at all about LeBron James claiming his second straight NBA title. We're sure WEWS chief meteorologist Mark Johnson excised the word "heat" from last night's postgame late local news forecast for reasons entirely unrelated to basketball....
Both Chicago Teams Played In The Fog, And It Was Gorgeous
We noticed last night that Wrigley Field looked like it had been transported to Silent Hill. (This being the Cubs, maybe Superman 64 is the better analogy.) But the fog covered the South Side too, and the morning-after photos are equal parts eerie, quirky, and beautiful....
A New MLB Rule Forced Royals-Cardinals To Go 8 Soggy Hours
The listed time of game for the desperate Royals' 4-2 win over the Cardinals was a crisp 2:27. This is how box scores lie to you. The last out was recorded at 3:14 a.m. CDT, with maybe 100 fans left in the stadium. In baseball limbo, Mitchell Boggs is forever coming on to protect a lead....

MLB Should Probably Stop Scheduling April Games At Coors Field
Last week's four-game Mets-Rockies series featured two snow-outs, one of which was played as part of a supremely depressing doubleheader—a doubleheader, for that matter, which started two hours late because of an undermanned, overworked snow-clearing crew. The other game will probably be made up in ...
