The dog days of summer are now long gone for many MLB teams, but now comes the final stretch of September, when your club is well aware if it's still in the hunt or completely out of it. Texas Rangers pitcher Lance Lynn sounds like a guy who knows exactly where his team is going, which, at 68-73, is nowhere, and he's not afraid to be very up front about it.
On Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium, where Lynn started the rubber game against the Bronx Bombers, the pitcher had one of the more peculiar exchanges you'll see with an umpire all season. Apparently, the home-plate ump kept taking balls out of play, which irked both Lynn and Rangers manager Chris Woodward. After Woodward questioned the move, Lynn could be heard on the broadcast yelling at the ump. Here's what he had to say, courtesy of @Jomboy (as always):

Alex Caruso is not what you call ripped. Athletic? Maybe. Lanky? Absolutely. But ripped? No, definitely not ripped. Just try telling that to the internet at large, however, who were reeled in like Jaws on a cheat day when INSANELY jacked photos of the Lakers point guard surfaced online last week. As it turns out, the photos were Photoshopped, but because we all want to believe good things are still possible in this world, we ignored the little voice of reason in the back our heads telling us that something wasn't quite right. For example, this is what Caruso looked like last season…

Tuesday night was a bad night to be a New York Mets fan. Aren't they all, you'll guffaw from beneath your $500 Dolce & Gabbana Yankees cap, blissfully unaware of things like pain, self-doubt and something called “budgets” (there you go, sound it out), but trust us when we say this one was not like the others. It was much, much worse. Up 10-4 headed into the bottom of the ninth with Nationals Park still reeling from a Pete Alonso-punctuated Metropolitans five-spot in the top of the inning, the Mets' expired cottage cheese tub of a bullpen proceeded to throw away the surest of sure things, culminating with a three-run Kurt Suzuki homer off, you guessed it, Edwin Diaz to complete the least likely comeback in the majors this season and probably a few before that as well.
If you thought the night was bad, however, the dawn offered little respite, with Mets fans waking up to one of their most time-honored pity parties: The New York backpage teardown, a tradition as old as the ..

Golf Digest Podcast: Four-time PGA Tour winner Xander Schauffele stops by to talk about a tense Tour Championship, his biggest payday, and his first hole-in-one.

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong has shown some serious power in the early part of his career, hitting 25 homers in just 108 games in his rookie year, 19 in his second year and already reaching 24 in his third year with 24 games to go. Here's the question: unless you're a Cardinals fan or an avid watcher of MLB Network's A++++ program “Quick Pitch,” have you ever seen one of DeJong's homers? I watch “Quick Pitch” on the reg and can't remember seeing a DeJong highlight, though I likely have and just wasn't paying attention.
But it'll be impossible to forget this single DeJong hit on Tuesday night at Busch Stadium, because it will be replayed over and over on MLB highlight reels until the end of time. A single, you say? No, not just any single, a single straight out of the 1994 classic “Angels in the Outfield,” one that a young Joseph Gordon-Levitt couldn't have dreamed up if he tried:

Andrew Redington/Getty ImagesPatrick Reed celebrates with the trophy during the green jacket ceremony after winning the 2018 Masters.To the victor of the Masters, go the spoils. And keep going the spoils, apparently.
Patrick Reed won the green jacket nearly 18 months ago and yet on Tuesday, he showed off a shiny new Masters-themed Porsche in his driveway. Let's just say, Ian Poulter is going to be jealous.

Must. Be. Nice.
As you can tell by Reed's caption, the seven-time PGA Tour winner is headed to this week's PORSCHE European Open. Just a hunch, but that's probably not a coincidence!
Anyway, good for Patrick. Now all he has to do to shush his haters is drive this bad boy around.
