Tony Gwynn Jr. lead off and played center field for the Phillies on Tuesday night. The Phillies were playing the Padres in San Diego at Petco Park. You can imagine what happened from there. Gwynn’s father, Baseball Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn, passed away in June following a battle with salivary cancer. This was his […]

Adam Jones celebrated the Orioles’ first AL East title since 1997 by taking the team’s tradition of pieing one another and applying it to the Orioles fanbase. I love the super slow motion that was used in these camera shots. And now for a closer look… It’s so dramatic. My hat is off to Jones […]

This is one of the most incredible, bizarre things I’ve ever seen. Ahn Sang Soo, mayor of the Korean city of Changwon, had a pair of eggs thrown at him during an assembly meeting. Furthermore, the egg thrower in question was assemblyman Kim Sung Il. Now, what got the assemblyman so upset? Well, mayor Ahn wants to move […]

The A’s stadium is known infamously for many reasons including sewage issues, too much foul ground, and electrical outages. You can now add a radar gun being the fritz to the list as tonight’s game showed pitches ranging from 1 mph (how long would that take to reach home plate) to 400 MPH. Could one […]

Orioles magic is heading into the Postseason. Baltimore defeated Toronto 8-2 on Tuesday night, clinching their first AL East title since 1997 and making their second Postseason in the last three seasons. The Orioles quickly emerged as the dominant team in the AL East, and first place was theirs for good at the beginning of July. […]

The Washington Nationals are heading back to October. By virtue of a 3-0 win in Atlanta over the Braves on Tuesday night, the Nationals clinched their second NL East championship in three seasons. Even sweeter for the team must be the fact that the clinched the title at Turner Field. A year ago, the Braves […]

During the Cubs-Pirates game on Sunday at PNC Park, Josh Harrison started an around the horn, 5-4-3 triple play for the Pirates in the fourth inning. This was the first triple play the Pirates have turned since April 12, 2009, which was a 6-4-3 triple play initiated by Jack Wilson on a sinking line drive. […]

Pete Rose is starring in a new Sketchers commercial, with plenty of tongue in cheek references about “the hall”. From the moment the commercial begins, you know exactly what’s going on, but that doesn’t make it any less effective. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYEGUzV-tOs Sure…the hall in Rose’s home. That’s exactly what we’re talking about here. Clever commercial, but […]

Sorry Orioles, it’s never easy. Chris Davis will miss the rest of the regular season and a good chunk of the playoffs after testing positive for amphetamines. The AL East-leading Orioles have 17 games left in the regular season. The suspension also covers the playoffs, so the earliest Davis would be able to play (assuming […]

Before Thursday’s Athletics-White Sox game at US Cellular Field, Joakim Noah of the Chicago Bulls threw out the first pitch…not once, but twice. While his first attempt sure was rough, I’m calling a foul on this one. You don’t get two tries – it just doesn’t work that way.

The good news (if you could call it that) about Giancarlo Stanton’s injuries from last night – they don’t immediately to be as serious as they looked at first. There will be further evaluation of Stanton in Miami today. But after Stanton was hit, chaos erupted in Milwaukee. Following the plunking, Mike Fiers then hit […]

If thought we wouldn’t see two players get hit in the head tonight, you were wrong. In the ninth inning of the Rays-Yankees game at Yankee Stadium, Jake McGee of the Rays hit Chase Headley in the chin with a pitch Hopefully Headley will be OK. He was able to walk off the field with […]
