Baseball is unknowable and nothing is real – Royals Review
Look, sports just don’t make any sense. Try explaining some of our society’s favorite team sports to someone who knows nothing about it and keep track of how often they give a blank stare. To try explaining baseball to a British man is like explaining Harambe memes to your great grandmother. Case in point: golf. Golf is ultimately about using a metal club to hit a very small ball…
Johnny Cueto tried one of the most hideous swings baseball will ever see – FOXSports.com
Johnny Cueto is having a great year on the mound. But he provided more proof in Wednesday night’s loss to the Dodgers that he’ll never be confused with rotation mate Madison Bumgarner in the batter’s box.

A Few Ghosts Are Still Haunting George Michael’s Sports Machine – Deadspin
Six years ago, the New York Times appended a correction to its obituary of George Michael, the sportscaster who pushed those big buttons on The Sports Machine, saying the original piece had “omitted three survivors.” The paper blamed the error on “information provided by a family member.” I’d seen obit corrections over a name misspelling or résumé omission before, but never anything that screamed “Dysfunction!” quite as loudly as this….
Wired’s Mark McClusky is going to run digital for Sports Illustrated – Recode
Mark McClusky, one of Wired’s top executives, is leaving to run digital for Sports Illustrated.
