MLB badly messed up the call during gametime, but is attempting to make up for it after the fact! Tonight MLB suspended LA Dodgers’ Chase Utley two games for the controversial ‘tackle’ slide that broke NY Mets’ Rubén Tejada right leg last night! During the controversial play, Utley sort of side-kicked (leg tackled) way out of the baseline at Mets’ second baseman Tejada legs to break up any chance at a double play. Utley slid very late, and directly at Tejada…

Saturday night after Memphis Grizzlies’ Matt Barnes FaceTime’d his 6-year old twin sons, Carter and Isaiah, he found out that former Laker teammate (2010-2012) and “friend” Derek Fisher was at his ex-wife’s house?! The kids were confused because the break up is still fresh, and they thought Fisher was Barnes’ friend , not playing house…

There is no silver lining to this story, and Spain is not allowing wealth to uphold impunity. Lionel Messi, one of the top paid athletes in the world, FC Barcelona forward, will stand trial with his father, Jorge, for intentionally not paying taxes from endorsement earnings (defrauding Spain) from 2007-2009 amounting to about $5 million dollars. The judge in the case rejected requests from prosecutors to drop the charges on the star soccer/futbal player and his father, and they will have to stand trial with no date set yet. Lawyers from the tax authority are lobbying for a 22-month sentence for both Lionel and his father. Lionel and his father are denying any knowledge of wrongdoing and intentional fraud.

The man who came through in the clutch last Thursday night (Oct. 1), and got the Yankees into the Wild-Card Playoffs is apparently checking himself into an alcohol rehab(ilitation) center today! Yankees’ C.C. Sabathia (6-10, 4.73ERA) made the announcement at 1pm today! His timing couldn’t be any worse as the Yankees prepare for a wild-card Playoff on Tuesday night in the Bronx, but hey you gotta do what you gotta do! I think it serves as an inspiration to…

As we prepare for Halloween I got a special treat on Derrick Rose’s behalf! I feel for the fellow only playing in 32% of the NBA games in the last four games, after being a warrior and playing 98% of the games the three seasons prior, but this pic is LOL funny! Check more after the gate…

#RiseOfTheUnderdogs The arch-rival Boston Red Sox were playing like it was the seventh game of the World Series, and the NY Yankees finally broke them; beating them 4-1 tonight, and clinching a playoff spot!

The NY Yankees paid tribute to Yogi Berra, who passed away on Sept. 22 at 90 years old, coincidentally exactly 69 years from his MLB debut. He lived beyond his years, and played beyond his peers; accomplishing 18 All-Star appearances, 15 consecutively. He was also an astounding 10-time World Series Champion with the NY Yankees, and even played and coached briefly crosstown for the NY Mets later in his career…

It seemed as if Summer was switching to Fall right when the NY Yankees took over the three-game Subway Series (against the NY Mets) at Citi-Field over the weekend! The fans put on their coats, as the Yankees put on a show tonight!

Lithuania served Serbia a crushing defeat, 67-64, on Friday to advance to the EuroBasket (FIBA) Finals to take on Spain! Lithuania (and Spain) have automatically clinched a spot at the 2016 Olympic games in Rio (Jogos Olímpicos de Verão de 2016) by advancing to the Finals! Serbia must now claw and nail through the Olympic qualifiers next July flirting with Greece, Italy, France, and the Czech Republic!

Some say age is defiant, some say Yahoo! Sports completely copied my style, but who is to say that 50-year old Rafael Palmeiro, a former Cubano MLB baseball star, is gonna play baseball again! Well, Palmeiro is set to join his 25-year old son, Patrick, in an independent Texas league for the three remaining games of the season… Rafael does not only get a chance to fulfill the “field of dreams” in real life, but can also re-hash his name, as he tested positive for steroids late in his career.
