MLB ‏@MLB OFFICIAL: @Braves sign four-time All-Star RHP Ben Sheets to Minor League contract. --- Really no risk, so I don't mind. Just hope this isn't the only move though.

The 104 degree weather played to our advantage and got the best of Strasburg yesterday as the Braves finally managed to pull out a win against the damn Nationals. We're now a lowly 2-7 against them this year.

It appears the Rangers are scouting Cole Hamels as a potential trade candidate.

Will be rooting for Balotelli and Italy today. Really wasn't expecting them to get this far. Figured we'd be seeing a Germany-Spain final. Pretty hard to predict a score, especially considering how unpredictable Mario Balotelli is. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see a draw at the end of ninety minutes though, but I just hope for the sake of the game it doesn't go to penalties.

Looks like the MLS is set on bringing its 20th team to New York City after it released plans to build a soccer-specific stadium in Queens. So much for the South getting a team anytime soon.

Isaiah Crowell was arrested this morning on three weapons charges, two of which are felonies. Earlier this afternoon Mark Richt dismissed him from the team. Crazy to think that he was probably the most valuable recruit Mark Richt has landed at UGA, yet today he has to dismiss him. Quite sad to see young kids with so much talent get involved in things like this.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH DAN UGGLA!?

http://i.imgur.com/fvqJH.jpg Looks like he gained thirty pounds or so while he was hurt.

It's dead, but I'll send you an invite.

And there go the mock drafts.

Warren, stop browsing this thread and join wimp.

What happened to the German mast race this afternoon? Now Football ‏@Now__Football Balotelli: "When I score, I don't celebrate because it's my job. When a postman delivers letters, does he celebrate? Balotelli never fails to entertain.

That was to be expected considering how many touches he had on the ball in the Germany game back in the group stage.

You'll want to see this catch by Mike Trout: http://www.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=22643503&partnerId=aw-5988781732410696207-996

Not Ronaldo's fault Portugal lost, but he surely has to regret not being able to help his team win.

Great, on to PKs. -_-

Nice "catch" by Dewayne Wise today: http://deadspin.com/5921597/the-greatest-trick-dewayne-wise-ever-pulled-was-convincing-the-world-he-caught-this-ball?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_twitter&utm_source=deadspin_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow

Really has been living up to his hype. I'm also glad to see Heyward finally turn things around. Ever since the last game of the NYY series in New York he's been great. Really glad to see him hit in the #2 spot tonight as well. Poor guy has been buried deep in lineup all year.

Oh really? I honestly didn't know that.

Can't say I've ever seen that before.

Correct. So far, so good as he delivered the go-ahead RBI for the lowly Cubs tonight.

Diablo III for me, however, it's the only game I've bought this year.
