Aaron Judge has more pop than an RC Cola factory. This we know. This we've seen time and time again as he's smashed rookie home run records, conquered the Home Run Derby, and miss-hit countless homers to opposite field. In other words, it takes one hell of a Judge dinger to move the needle these days (get your mind out the gutter, sickos), but on Wednesday night, he delivered exactly that in BP at The Trop, turning on a pitch and giving it a ride all the way into the Rays' 2008 AL East Championship banner in left. HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT THE HOME OF BASEBALL LIKE THAT, AARON.

Honestly, given both the state of Judge and The Trop, we're surprised (and thankful) the whole structure didn't come crumbling down.
Despite an injury curtailed 2019, Judge is getting healthy at just the right time for the Yankees, who are currently vying for the best overall record in baseball, sitting 2.5 back of the Astros with th..

Once you hit a certain age as a sports fan, some things are just not okay. Among them: wearing a jersey, putting on face paint/wearing a costume or bringing your baseball glove to a game. Sure, there are exceptions, like if you bring your son and he wants to bring his glove too, or if you're Foul Ball Guy, who is obviously a little bit of a weird dude but snagging balls at baseball games is his thing. Other than those two exceptions though, you cannot be wearing a baseball mitt to a game as a 35-year-old.

But hey, to each their own. This is America after all. If you want to bring your glove and sit there for nine innings waiting for a baseball that will never, ever come in your direction, go for it. That said, if by some miracle one does come to you, you better freaking catch it.

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.

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..
