The stars were plentiful, and in the aftermath of the lunacy, one of them stood in the Dodgers' clubhouse, still trying to process what happened. Will Klein, the last man out of the Dodgers' bullpen, a reliever who had topped out this year at two innings and 36 pitches, threw four innings of one-hit ball and struck out five on 72 pitches. The last of them, an 86 mph curveball, induced a swing-and-miss from Tyler Heineman and a scream from Klein, who understood what had been asked of him and knew he'd delivered.

Games don't become classics without efforts like Klein's -- and he had an admirer who wanted to acknowledge that. Into the Dodgers' clubhouse strode Sandy Koufax, his eminence of Dodgers pitching, who, at 89 years old, looked no worse for the wear at 12:48 a.m. Koufax walked up to Klein, stuck out his hand, looked him in the eyes and said: "Nice going."

Can a Dodgers hitter just charge the mound to start a brawl and end the game for them?

A Dodgers batter charges the mound after the Blue Jays have used all their pinch hitters and pitchers. If they get enough people ejected  by starting a brawl the game is over and the Dodgers win.

Sometimes a Wrecking Ball Is Just a Wrecking Ball - Truthdig The demolition of the East Wing of the White House for construction of a ballroom is a monument to Trumpism that needs no guide.

One aspect of how much Trump's razing parts of the White House sucks is that it sucks really obviously. Sucks in a way that defies someone saying, "It's part of the Suck Plan." Or, "Sucking is the new masculinity. It's authentic to suck, and real men want to suck more than ever." It's just a wound.

Heartened by the return of one of the classic Trump bits, which is when he sways faintly and says "I'd like to see low IQ [person of color he saw on TV] try to pass the test that's regularly administered to me by medical professionals, the famous unbeatable Test To Determine Extent Of Brain Trauma,"

A source confirms to SI
that Brian Kelly is out at LSU. Am told AHC/RBs Frank Wilson will be interim coach for the rest of the season. Details on Kelly's separation are still being finalized but a team meeting has been called at the top of the hour.

Defense stones Tampa Bay 5 times at the goal line only for the QB to throw the ball directly to the opponent for a walk-in TD, I would be so fucking annoyed. Painting a masterpiece only for him to come in and take a shit on it one minute later.

obviously it is going to be difficult for LSU to pay Brian Kelly's $53 million buyout if they choose to fire him. however, if he were to be eaten by some sort of crocodile or oversized nutria...

This #Pelicans roster is like if you put together a living room with mostly normal furniture, but also one really nice Eames chair, one bespoke and insane-looking desk from an avant garde designer, and a couple of couches you found on a curb with a note that said “NO BEDBUGS” and it… kinda worked?
