Bryce Harper bravely stands up to baseball’s foolish unwritten rules – Washington Post
You know what should put Bryce Harper over the top for MVP this season? It’s not his National League-best batting average through Tuesday night. It’s not his NL-co-leading 41 home runs. It’s not even that his 2015 campaign is rivaling the greatest seasons ever produced from Barry Bonds, Ted Williams, Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth. What should put Harper over the top aren’t statistics of staggering proportions but, instead, what…

0 Shares Print CINCINNATI — Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon has a decision to make at second base come next Wednesday when his team plays the Pittsburgh Pirates in a winner-take-all wild-card game. With right-handed Gerrit Cole most likely on the mound for the Pirates, should Maddon start lefty Tommy La Stella or defensive whiz Javier Baez? Or maybe he shouldn’t overthink it and instead play the hottest hitter in…

Tony Stewart’s retirement costs NASCAR another iconic figure – SB Nation
Within the span of nine months, two of NASCAR’s all-time greats have announced their pending retirements. Jeff Gordon will step aside at the conclusion of the current season, while Tony Stewart will do so following the 2016 season.

Is Edinburgh’s cycling budget making the city better for bikes? – The Guardian (blog)
I’m chasing Kim Harding down a hill. We’re heading from the Royal Mile to Princes Street on the kind of descent one rarely encounters, living as I do in a very flat part of the country.“I love that hill,” he says as we regroup at the traffic lights. Like Athens and Rome, Edinburgh is built on seven hills, but perhaps more akin to a “lumpy” city like Bristol, those hills…

WATCH: One Baseball Fan’s Very Bad Day – NPR
So, maybe you’ve been having a bad day. We’re pretty sure that one guy — a baseball fan at Tuesday’s Yankees game — can one up you. The man was sitting along the third base line and got three chances to catch a ball. The guy fumbled all of them: The good news: He eventually did get a ball, and he — and the woman sitting next to him —…
