Nyjer Morgan Don’t Play

This is the footage from last nights Marlins vs Nationals game. Nyjer Morgan charges the mound after Marlins pitcher Chris Volstad threw behind him (this is after he already had hit him the inning before). Marlins were pissed that Morgan stole 2nd and 3rd in a 14-3 game and for knocking into their catcher the game before. You gotta watch the video and see the beat-down that ensues.

Manny Ramirez’s All-Spanish Press Conference

You gotta love Manny just being Manny.  Chicago White Sox fans better get used to his shenanigans because he has a bunch of them.  For his introductory press conference to the team, Manny decided to hold the presser in all spanish despite knowing how to fluently speak and understand English.  I really think he was just like “OK, today I’m going to fuck with the American reporters” haha.

Jay-Z x New York Yankees Apparel

The New York Yankees have created these exclusive Jay-Z x NYY themed apparel for the two epic Jay-Z x Eminem shows going down at New Yankee Stadium on September 13th and 14th.  The “4″ is paying homage to his December 4th birthday.  I might just have to cop one of those t-shirts…Hit the jump for a picture of the limited edition Blueprint 3 New Era fitted that’ll also be sold at the show.

Strasburg Out 12-18 Months

Washington Nationals rookie phenom Stephen Strasburg will be out 12-18 months after learning today he most likely will need Tommy John surgery.  Strasburg was put on the DL recently after feeling pain in his elbow, and after doctors did a MRI they noticed he has a torn ligament.  I bet the Nationals are kicking themselves in the head after rushing Strasburg up from the minors.  Even though they sold out every game he started, they now won’t sell out another game for 12-18 months.  Hopefully for the Nationals and the game of baseball he can make a speedy recover.  From everything I have read the guy is good guy who works hard so he would be good face for the game.

One Of The Best Baseball Catches Ever

I just saw Austin post this over at Dime and I must say that this is one of the best catches I’ve ever seen in baseball.  I don’t watch a lot of baseball but still…How long until MLB teams start looking into signing him?

Guy In LeBron Heat Jersey Gets Kicked Out Of Indians Game

This kid pictured above made the mistake of wearing his LeBron James Miami Heat jersey to a Cleveland Indians game last night against the Yankees. Apparently he started confrontation by heckling the crowd, but the Cleveland fans went right back at him with verbal abuse including chanting “throw him out” and their wish came true. He doesn’t seem too bothered about it, but it makes you feel bad for Cleveland fans (every sport). Oh, and the Indians lost 8-0!

DJ Steve Porter and ESPN’s Sportsnation just blessed the world with Press Hop 2 complete with cameos from LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Tiger Woods, Brett Favre, Ron Artest, Randy Moss, Allen Iverson, Deion Sanders, Mike Tyson, and more.  This one was pretty funny but nothing DJ Steve Porter makes will EVER top the original Press Hop.
