There's a lot of bad stuff on social media—we don't need to get into any of that right now—but we can always fall back on pictures of dogs. Thankfully on Wednesday, in a Twitter treat, Max Homa alerted us all that his pup, Scotty, was celebrating her fourth birthday.

As a professional, let me just say that this is a cute dog that deserves a treat on her special day. As a non-professional, let me just say th…LOOK AT THOSE BIG EYES. WHO'S A GOOD GIRL? WHO'S A GOOD PUPPY?

Since Scotty's birthday is September 25th, we all know that she is, of course, a Libra. For a Libra breakdown, I checked in over at Allure to see how the stars (or whatever astrology uses for prognostications) depict Scotty.

Icon SportswireAs much as it pains me, a Mets fan, to say this, on Tuesday night the Nationals clinched a Wild Card berth with a 6-5 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Despite Bryce Harper signing with said Phillies in the offseason (adding sweetness to the already sugary clincher) and starting the season 19-31, the Nats, led by the MVP-worthy bat of Anthony Rendon, have given themselves YET ANOTHER chance to let the city of D.C. down in the playoffs…
Sorry, that was a low blow. At least they'll be playing October baseball. That's more than the dysfunctional Mets and big-budget Phils can say…not to mention the Cubs, who dropped their 7th straight on Wednesday night to complete their dying-star of a collapse, much to the delight of the Nats.

Suffice to say, the celebratory Bud was flowing in the locker room after the game. Brian Dozier twerked. A rousing rendition of “Baby Shark” was enjoyed by all. It was the kind ..

One of the best events on the European Tour schedule takes place this week in Scotland, the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. It's contested on three iconic courses: the Old Course at St Andrew, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns. The other cool part about the event is that it is a Pro-Am, and just like the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, there are celebrities in the field. This year's field includes Bill Murray playing with a bum wing, Justin Timberlake, who is playing alongside Justin Rose, actor Luke Wilson, who is playing with Andrew “Beef” Johnston, and two-time world heavyweight champion Vladimir Klitschko, who is partnered up with Matthias Schwab.
Rory McIlroy, as he's done in the past, brought his dad Gerry, who has become somewhat of a celebrity himself over the years, especially at Seminole, his home club in Florida. Bringing pops is pretty cool if you ask us, but it wasn't so cool for Rory on Tuesday. Apparently, he had to give his dad four shots a side, which doesn&#0..

Bill Freakin' Murray doesn't let anything get between him and a round of golf. Not age, not weather, not vermin, not a bucket hat shortage. Hell, not even a zombie apocalypse can stop him…
But you know what they say, the proof is in the puddin', and thankfully they have all kinds of puddin'—black puddin', bread puddin', banana puddin'—over in Scotland, where Murray is spending his week hacking it around the Home of Golf as part of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship's celebrity team event. Murray showed up for his practice round on Tuesday with a bum wing, but not willing to let his stunt double have all the fun, he buckled down and played with one arm, much to the delight of the Scottish galleries, many of whom took a sick day just to head down to the course and shout “WHAT AN INCREDIBLE CINDERELLA STORY” at Murray from across the fairway.
P.S. Love the ol' dress-tie-as-a-sling look. The man really is smoother than a Gibson martini.
