Nothing will get you fired up for the MLB Playoffs like this Atlanta Braves-themed club banger

America, stop what you're doing. The MLB Postseason is here! [GRABS HAIR AND RUNS INTO SLIDING GLASS DOOR SCREAMING]. That means flame-throwing aces and frosty nights warming your hands beside the hot dog lamps. That means dingers that go dong and bullpens that get turned to ground beef. That means hope and despair and memories of Derek Jeter diving headfirst into giant leaf piles dancing like the Philly Phanatic through our heads. It's the sweet, sweet release the last 162 excruciating, interminable extra-inning, Pacific time zone games have been building toward and baseball fans are already partying like it's 1903.
Case in point: Aaron Chewning, do-it-all digital personality/comedian-musician-cum-former-Vine-star-turned-filmaker hybrid, who took his love of the Atlanta Braves viral on Monday with this five-alarm fire (all the kids are saying it!) gangster rap tribute to the 2019 NL East Champs. Grab those headphones, your Bentley, a Sable fur cape, several strippers an..

Ranking every MLB Wild Card Game, worst to first

Mark BlinchThe leaves are beginning to change color, the air is feeling a bit crisper, and the Christmas music (for some reason) is starting to show up on the radio. It's October.
What this month also brings is the thrill of postseason baseball and there's no better way to start it all off than with two single-game elimination matchups. Starting in 2012, the MLB implemented a pair of Wild Card play-in games, adding an extra layer to the playoffs, with the winner taking on on the best squad in their respective league.

Helping to add a touch of March Madness to October this year are the Milwaukee Brewers, Washington Nationals, Tampa Bay Rays, and Oakland Athletics. Each hope to use the Wild Card as a springboard to the World Series, and although it's tough to win this game and then three straight series, it has been done before. The San Francisco Giants ..

It’s clear Rory McIlroy is defecting from Europe to play for the United States at the 2020 Ryder Cup

Mark Runnacles(Photo by Mark Runnacles/Getty Images)Rory McIlroy and George Costanza are characters not often associated. Conversely, 2019 has already bestowed a curious set of consortiums: Matt Kuchar and caddies, Bryson DeChambeau and clocks, Brooks Koepka and nudity. Against this backdrop, the McIlroy-Costanza pairing makes too much sense.
Which explains why the Ulsterman has been doing a spot-on Costanza impersonation, trying his best to get fired from one team in order to join another.
It is clear, is it not? The passive-aggressiveness, the pot shots, the wavering commitment … Rory McIlroy wants to renounce his European ties in order to play for the United States at the 2020 Ryder Cup.
We can hear the gravy-muffled guffawing from the British press on this side of the Atlantic. Sure, ascribe McIlroy's latest round of haymakers—announcing his disappointment with European Tour's course setups—as post-round frustrations. That is failing to see the forest for the trees. Well,..

Jerry Seinfeld says the key to rebooting ‘Seinfeld’ is . . . Pete Alonso?

Alex TrautwigBend the knee to your new [rookie home run] king, baseball peasants. On Saturday night, Mets slugger and 2019 Home Run Derby champ Pete Alonso crushed his 53rd home run of the season, breaking Aaron Judge's rook record, which stood for all of two years before being one-upped just down the BQE. It was the highlight of a wild second half for the Mets, helping to ease the pain for the Mets faithful who watched their team rally from 11 games below .500 at the All-Star Game only to come up just short of the postseason yet again. Lay your eyes on this beautiful monstrosity.

One such maladjusted Mets nut is an average Joe named Jerry Seinfeld, who took to Twitter following Alonso's record-breaking bomb to lay out the conditions for a long-rumored, longer-mooted 'Seinfeld reboot. Say Pete, it might be time to get that SAG card…
