Here's An Awesome, Fan-Shot Video Of David Ortiz's Grand Slam
Big Papi essentially gave birth to this genre of videos with his work in the 2004 playoffs, and they are still one of the best things about October baseball. This one is particularly satisfying, as it proves that Torii Hunter's tumble over the outfield wall is hilarious from any distance or angle....
Vince Young Is Trying To Get A Job By Sending Sad Tweets Again
We've been down this road before with Vince Young.

John Tavares Hit In Face With Puck, Pulls Out Own Tooth
Well this is disgusting. Early in the second period in Chicago Friday night, Islanders captain John Tavares got hit in the face trying to dig out a puck along the boards and must have knocked a tooth loose.

Carlos Beltran Beats The Dodgers, Takes One Game Lead In NLCS

Giants Have Too Many Questions For Teddy Bridgewater To Be The Answer
No quarterback receives more excuses for his interceptions than Eli Manning–which isn't at all to say those excuses don't have some validity. A few years ago, it did seem that an inordinate number of picks bounced off the hands of his receivers. This season, playing behind an offensive line composed...
So Many Manningfaces: Your Giants-Bears Roundup
Bears 27, Giants 21: A game on short rest was the least helpful thing to the Giants' 0-5 woes. New York actually held it together for the most part, though, and their defense gave the team a chance.

Why Your Cardinals Suck
The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Pittsburgh Pirates last night, because the Cardinals don't like it when another team like the Pirates or Nationals dares to threaten their self-appointed status as America's Baseball Sweethearts.
