The Triumphant Return of Tito. After a great video montage thanking him for his years in Boston, Cleveland thanked the Red Sox for helping him return to the club he grew up with. That is the only way that I can explain this 12-to-3 loss. Here are the four bases: First Base: When is it time to start worrying about Ryan Dempster ? I'd say...about now. Forget the fact that he's given up six, five, and four earned runs in his last three starts. Forget the fact that he has [...]
This weekend is not just any other Indians-Red Sox matchup. It may be the most significant matchup between these two clubs since the 2007 American League Championship Series. Why? After a firing, a TV Job, an invitation rejection to the 100th game, and a Dan Shaughnessy book, Terry Francona is coming back to Fenway Park. By the way, I have high odds for a standing ovation of the former Sox manager the minute he steps onto the warning track on the third base side. What is really worth an ovation is where he has the Cleveland Indians [...]
Via EmilioSparks : " Waddup scumbags! After a LOOONG hiatus, Emilio and Carg return to discuss what’s been going on while they’ve been away. Emilio discusses his romantic troubles and Carg tries to assure him that being written about on a website about “bad guys” isn’t so bad. They are joined by professional wrestler Chris Dickinson who discusses his life on the road, fitness, and general shenanigans. This is a great episode and we’re glad to be back. " [...]
Pic: Fat Shawn Kemp The Charlotte Hornets will indeed be back , which is great for '90s babies and jersey aficionados because there's a chance the old teal-and-purple uniforms will reappear. When? It could be 18 months from now, but who knows. But what is known is the interesting story behind the Charlotte Hornets' cartoonish mascot and regal colors. BuzzFeed Sports discovered that upscale men's fashion designer Alexander Julian created the colors and uniforms while Jim Henson's daughter Cheryl developed the mascot, Hugo [...]

So, LeBron James is pretty damn good or something. The Miami Heat defeated Indiana 103-102 in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, King James sinking the game's final dagger into the Pacers with an incredible game-winning layup with 2.2 seconds left on the clock. James was his typical legendary self, finishing with a stat line of 30 points (12-24 shooting), 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Just another triple-double. Nothing to see here, people. Since LeBron's excellence needs little more trumpeting, let's talk about the ineptitude of Indiana's coaching staff. Paul George (27 points, five [...]
This may have been a game that the Red Sox needed to salvage, but salvage did they ever. What started as a slow offensive output turned into a convincing win, their sixth win in their last eight. They are now an even .500 in the month of May, holding a striking position in the American League East. Here are the four bases: First Base: The Red Sox media were tweeting and tweeting and tweeting about Jacoby Ellsbury like they are teenage girls. Ellsbury is 3-for-6 [...]
No matter what, if you're picking in the Top 5 of the NBA Draft, everyone connected to the team - executives, coaches, players, fans - expects a future star. Which is why it blows my mind that Nerlens Noel seems is getting so much hype from pundits . Yes, this is one of the weakest drafts (at the top, at least) that we've seen in recent memory, a group of talented players without a bonafide superstar. From that perspective, it makes sense that a big man with so much bounce would [...]
Oooh buddy. You know what pisses racists off more than dominating them at a sport they feel is their born right to rule? Making them think they'd rid themselves of you only to have you come back and dominate the sport again. Tiger Woods has spent 2013 playing as well as he ever has while being treated worse than ever before. And the sourpuss leading the charge is none other than Mr. Taza De Lata himself, Sergio Garcia. Watching Serg totally blow the 17th and 18th holes a couple of weeks ago after [...]
Thank the high heavens for the Buffalo Wild Wings Button . For about six and a half quarters, the 2013 Western Conference finals was as exciting as the CSPAN channel. San Antonio jumped out to an early lead, culminating in a 46-31 lead at halftime. Then, the third quarter happened and the Grizzlies found their offensive stroke scoring 33 in the period. Chipping away the entire fourth quarter (Memphis out scored the Spurs 21-9), the fireworks arrived towards the end of regulation. [...]
What a hard game to watch, on so many levels. Jose Quintana was-unhittable through six, and then the Red Sox could not cash in on chances in the seventh and eighth innings. Here are the four bases: First Base: Surprisingly, the most efficient start for Félix Doubront this year. It was interesting that John Farrell pulled the lefty out after 84 pitches, which could mean that the Sox manager could be changing his role or saving him for something. Regardless, two walks over six innings was a good bounce [...]
Despite a terrific effort from Henrik Lundqvist the Bruins were able to come back with third period goals to beat the Rangers 2-1 and to take a 3-0 series lead. Daniel Paille got the game-winning goal and Johnny Boychuk scored his fourth playoff goal as the Bruins fourth line was the difference in a very tight game. Henrik Lundqvist made 32 saves, many of them sparkling early, in the losing effort. The Bruins did a good job early of taking the air our of the building with two [...]
@ kdtrey5 steps forward and gives $1mil matching gift to the ARC for disaster relief, text "REDCROSS" to 90999 for a $10 donation. — Red Cross Oklahoma (@redcrossokc) May 21, 2013 Per the Red Cross , Kevin Durant stepped up in a big way for residents of his adopted home. In the wake of yesterday's tornado that hit Moore, OK and surrounding areas, the Thunder forward donated one million dollars to the charity organization's disaster relief fund, matching the donation [...]
By all means, take the stance saying JJ Watt did this only for personal and selfish reasons. The guy at least gets the "glass half full" from these parts until proven otherwise. Last week, Houston's KHOU-TV aired a special about Cristian Beasley, a brave 12-year-old young man taking the fight to leukemia. Unable to attend sixth grade physically due to his condition, and as one of 34 kids nationwide, Beasley does so virtually with the help of a robot, "Watt." The 'bot was named after Cristian's favorite football player and reigning Defensive [...]
Well, after a five game winning streak that included two one run games and a comeback, the Red Sox seemed to have this one coming. They already fell behind in the first, and could not muster enough of a comeback to make the game any closer. Here are the four bases: First Base: The truth is, these kinds of starts almost have to happen to every pitcher, not just Jon Lester . Think about it; if he had not given up a three-run home run on a four-seem fastball to [...]
An older video (from 2010) courtesy of the European PGA Tour in which four golfers attempt to knock clay pigeons out of the sky with a golf ball. Including the missed shots makes the actually hits seem much more epic and worthy of celebration. [ Thanks, Tommy! ]
Despite getting outshot handedly and giving up the lead two separate times, the Bruins got stronger as the game went on and won 5-2 to take a 2-0 series lead to New York. Tuukka Rask had 35 saves, some sparkling and clutch ones, and all three of the rookie defensemen had points in the victory. Henrik Lundqvist let in five goals for the first time in two years and Rick Nash recorded his first goal of the playoffs in the loss. The Bruins started just like Game 1 ended, with [...]
