- September 12, 2016
Arrieta was almost as good, surrendering three runs (two earned), four hits and two walks. The Cubs have won five straight to improve to 87-47. He hit a one-out single and stole second base despite hitting the dirt with all the grace of a pencil eraser rubbing against a sheet of loose leaf. (more...)

Truex Jr. outlasts Harvick for Darlington win
- September 12, 2016

CM Punk's Face Gets Busted Up in UFC 203 Debut
- September 12, 2016
Punk was asked about her first words to him after the fight was over and it took him a few moments to answer while fighting back the tears. "He wanted to give it a shot, I gave him a shot". "I'm for real, and I'm not going f--ing anywhere". "I wasn't surprised he got through those early chokes because I was only half committing, nearly playing a game with it in a way". (more...)

Angels pitcher Matt Shoemaker suffers skull fracture from line drive
- September 12, 2016
It's very bad Shoemaker's brain was bleeding from the hit, but encouraging doctors found the issue and performed emergency surgery to stop it. Shoemaker likely isn't going to pitch anytime soon, but considering what he's gone through, I'd bet he's happy he'll eventually be able to walk away from the hit. (more...)

Mourinho green light for new Lingard Man Utd deal
- September 12, 2016
In the first half United failed to get the ball out of their own half but in the second half United started asking questions questions to the City defence but the damage was down in the first 45 minutes. And the contest saw the Blues, particularly in the first half, once again produce the sort of slick, passing football with which their new manager has for so always been associated. (more...)

Mourinho points finger after Man Utd derby loss
- September 12, 2016
Twenty minutes later, De Bruyne hit the post of United's gates, but his partner Iheanacho was in the right place and in the right time, which allowed City to make the score 2-0. Yet, increasingly, after his superb post-Chelsea exploits at Wolfsburg and now City, it seems even more mysterious that such a fine man manager as Mourinho could not recognise that here was a special talent worth nurturing.

Motorcycling: Pedrosa denies Rossi a home win at Misano
- September 12, 2016
Especially Dani had a better pace and Rossi had one tenth on some laps. With ten laps to go, the race was a story of two duels at the front, with Bastianini all over Binder as fast-starting Mir wrestled with Bulega behind. In addition, at the beginning, it was tough to get past Aleix because his bike seemed to have the upper hand, but I pushed onwards and passed him on the 8th lap because he made a slight mistake whilst entering the last corner, which I rode perfectly.

- September 12, 2016
The trio's season does not start on Sunday. The Patriots were already trying to plug gaps on the offensive line after allowing 38 sacks in 2015, but Solder had been a steady presence over the past six years.

US Open: I didn't give Grigor Dimitrov a chance, says Andy Murray

Murray produced a flawless display against the Bulgarian to win 6-1 6-2 6-2 and next faces Japan's Kei Nishikori at Flushing Meadows for a place in the semi-finals. As it happens, the last such opponent to defeat him was Dimitrov. Ivan Lendl had rejected a coaching return from the Bulgarian past year, and on this evidence it was easy to see why. (more...)

"A"™s release DH Billy Butler
- September 12, 2016
When Butler was signed, the contract was considered of high risk for the get-go. The A's had already begun making plans to move away from Butler, as they stated he would not be back in 2017. He was involved in a clubhouse altercation with Danny Valencia last month, though general manager David Forst said Sunday that the fight had nothing to do with today's release. (more...)
