Jamie SquireThough there's certainly been stiff competition across baseball, in the wake of this winter's interminable, ongoing sing-stealing scandal there has been no more ardent critic of the Houston Astros than Cincinnati Reds pitcher Trevor Bauer. To be fair, Bauer HATES almost everything. The man's default setting is suburban dad road rage. But still, it's hard to imagine anything he hates more than the Houston Astros . . .

But don't worry, folks. Bauer isn't just raging against the machine for the sake of it. He's actually out there trying to promote real, actionable change in baseball. So how does he plan to do that? How does he plan to evict the sign-stealing scourge currently squatting on the MLB's doorstep? By letting them steal signs, of course.
Confused? You should be.
On Monday, Bauer took to the bump against the Dodg..

Welcome to another edition of The Grind where we were a (small) part of some big sports news last week. Vanity Fair’s shoot with Maria Sharapova, who was announcing her retirement from tennis, took place in the very spot where I do my silly weekly videos! Well, sort of. They used the room to do her hair and makeup. But that’s still quite the brush with celebrity, huh? Get it? OK, so it’s bad jokes like that which keep me so low on the totem pole in my own building. In any event, we eventually got to use the room, and in the meantime, there was also a lot happening in the world of golf.

Congrats to Im on picking up his first PGA Tour title at the Honda Classic. And the Presidents Cupper did it in rather impressive fashion by firing at the flagstick on both of the vaunted Bear Trap’s par 3s. Those shots that set up two clutch bi..

While the Bear Trap claimed a new set victims this weekend, it was an off-week for Dustin Johnson. And as we all know, an off-week for DJ can only mean thing: A new grip of Instagram content from other half Paulina Gretzky, usually from some far flung locale, often not wearing much in the way of fabric. Such was the case once again on Saturday, when golf's first couple attended Paulina's brother Ty's wedding and DJ was found donning matching cowboy hats with the bride. Yes, we said cowboy hats. Saddle up, folks.
FacebookPinterestPlease note the “Save a horse, ride a cowboy” caption in the bottom left. A little awkward given that's the bride and the groom's sister's boyfriend, but hey, maybe they're just big Big & Rich fans??
10-gallon Stetsons and double entendres aside, Paulina and DJ also enjoyed some dancing (nice dip DJ!) . . .
