Christopher Morel ended a game, then lost his mind
A night after Luis Robert shushed Chicago Cubs fans after his seventh-inning home run gave the Chicago White Sox a one-run lead, Christopher Morel made sure he had those fans’ back.
Then lost his mind in the process.
The Cubs were down 3-1 in the ninth inning at Wrigley Field Wednesday night, and Morel was at the plate facing newly-minted closer Gregory Santos. Two runners were on, and Morel was in the hole 1-2, having swung and missed twice to begin the at-bat.

The Browns and Eagles are holding joint practices in training camp this week, and as such, reporters are observing the sessions, trying to glean as much information as they can ahead of the new season.
Eagles reporter Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94WIP.com posted a picture of Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson on Wednesday, and went into detail about his mixed performance against Philadelphia.
“Deshaun Watson Training Camp Stats vs. Eagles defense,” Shorr-Parks posted on X. “The Eagles defense definitely got the better of Watson during the joint practices.
Rays star shortstop Wander Franco is under investigation in the Dominican Republic for an alleged relationship with a minor.
The investigation began earlier this week following social media rumors surrounding the shortstop that alleged that Franco was engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a minor. MLB subsequently opened its own investigation into the allegations on Sunday.
Now, just days into the investigation, a new report casts doubt on the future of Franco’s baseball career.
Back again by popular demand—or force of habit—we present the annual college football Most Intriguing Lists. We started with the Most Intriguing Coaches. Then the Most Intriguing Quarterbacks. This week: the Most Intriguing Non-Quarterbacks for 2023:
1. Brock Bowers, Georgia tight end
Bowers has played a key role in transforming the Bulldogs offense from mundanely effective to creatively devastating. He can line up anywhere and do just about anything: catch, run, block.
Pedro Martinez is bringing the insults to add to the Yankees injuries.
While speaking on TBS postgame baseball show on Tuesday night, the former Red Sox and Mets pitcher that was right in the middle during the heated Yankees and Sox rivalry of the mid 2000’s, went right at the Yanks with his assessment of how just how bad they are this year.

Two balls, one strike.
It was a rough night for Lars Nootbaar and Cardinals. Not only did St. Louis lose to the hapless A’s, but in the bottom of the fifth ball met balls in the worst way.

You know it’s bad when you’ve been hit in the nuts so hard that you do that weird circular Three Stooges walk around home plate. This feat of ball-busting physics occurred as Nootbaar tried to drive the ball into right field, cannoning it right into the ground, and then up into his danger zone.
Many aspects of the Michael Oher – Tuohy family situation have felt off from the get-go of this now nearly week-old saga. The timing of it all has undoubtedly been the most-fishy part of the entire thing.
Oher is alleging the Tuohys never legally adopted him. He claims he was tricked him into signing a document making them his conservators shortly after he turned 18. This allegedly resulted in him losing power over his finances and missing out on millions of dollars from “The Blind Side.
Welcome to Week 2 of the NFL preseason. Last week, we were treated to a host of rookie quarterback debuts, some of which were consequential. Anthony Richardson played well enough to earn the starting job outright. Bryce Young took some big hits and impressed in the process with his decision-making. C.J. Stroud looked like a quarterback taking his first NFL snaps.
While we could make precious few sweeping conclusions, I feel like the truncated nature of NFL training camps and practice time in general allows these games to be something of a guide. Just a guide.
Wherever Noelle Quinn went, wherever basketball took her, from UCLA to WNBA stops in Minnesota, Los Angeles, Washington and Phoenix, she always came back home. No, not to Torrance, Calif., where she grew up. But to Seattle, her adopted base, where she played for the Storm in 2013 and ’14, left, came back for part of ’16, all of ’17 and all of ’18, retired, and returned once more, the next season, as an assistant coach.
In all those stops, Quinn immersed in the Tao of a distinct WNBA franchise.
We are inching closer to the start of the 2023 NFL season, so it’s time for the mad dash of fantasy football drafts to begin. That makes it more important than ever to put your players into positional “tiers.” Unlike my player rankings, tiers group players of similar value. So, if you miss out on a particular player, you can see others on the same tier as an alternative. And if that tier has been cleared, it might be a good idea to wait a round or two on players who fall into the next tier at the position.
