Sports Buzz Home run derby competitions have been pretty boring dating back to roughly 1960. The Reading Phillies, of the Eastern League, have a deranged plan for how to fix that during this summer's All-Star festivities. Woe for the poor intern that ends up suspended from that center field crane.
Politics Buzz Finally, a picture that perfectly captures his leathery inhumanity.
I don't know what's more impressive: the dog's fetching skills, or the kid's batting skills.

Every sport has its share of liars, cheaters and players with bad attitude. And while what constitutes a “dirty” teammate varies, there a few universal hallmarks.
Earlier today we brought you last night's dramatic World Series game in amazing photos. But what we didn't talk about was Joe Buck's awesome Home Run call that referenced one of his father's finest moments as a broadcaster. Here is a video of both calls.
This groundkeeper stole the show at the 2011 Rangers Vs. Cardinals World Series. And our hearts.
I haven't followed the Texas Rangers since I was 14 and have no idea what ranking or record they have right now. But it's nice to be reminded that people from my hometown act like total idiots. (via guyism.com)
In the bottom of the fourth inning during a Phillies/Cardinals game this week, a squirrel interrupted a pitch. Apparently, it caused a stir during at another Cards' game earlier this week too. Major replay and multi-camera coverage happening here, 'cause they just can't catch the little critter. (via newslite.tv)
Sports Buzz The Diamondbacks and Tigers are undeniably the young upstarts of this season's MLB Postseason. But is either team destined for possible World Series greatness? Alice Cooper gives his take…
Red Sox is super hot on the BuzzFeed Network right now. Here's all the best viral buzz on Red Sox.
Culture Buzz If you don't mist up a little bit, you're a Gorgon. Sergeant Chris Weichman gave his family a wonderful shock when he walked on the field of a minor league baseball game in Spokane, Washington, returning home from his third tour of duty in Afghanistan.
Remember this when your kid says he/she wants to be a Major League pitcher when they grow up. Colorado Rockies rookie Juan Nicasio took a line drive to the side of the head when pitching against the Washington Nationals on Friday night. That resulted in a broken neck, for which he underwent surgery on Saturday. Scary stuff.
Outfielder Justin Ruggiano's routine tumble over the bullpen mound gets epically dramatic with the help of some SUPER slow-motion video replay and a pinch of Richard Strauss. (via sportsgrid.com)
A baseball from Josh Beckett brings this young Red Sox fan to tears. Only the innocence of youth could elicit such a strong reaction from a simple act of kindness. (Ed. Note: Hahahahaha! Let's all laugh at the crybaby! That's what you get for expressing genuine human emotions and allowing yourself an unguarded moment of exultant joy, you big fat crybaby!) (via lastangryfan.com)
Like a boss. Logan Morrison of the Florida Marlins goes from big, burly athlete to frightened little girl after being attacked by a praying mantis. (via)
Take heed mascots - cheating at musical chairs can have painful consequences. Bonus points for doing it happening on “Blue Balls” night. (via)
All that sulking deserves a reward. What kind of lesson is that? (via guyism.com)
This is entirely too sad. Fireman Shannon Stone was attempting to catch a ball at a Texas Rangers game when he lost his balance and fell over the railing. As his young son looked on, he dropped nearly 20 feet to the pavement below. Stone appeared to be fine as he was taken out of the park by paramedics, but died suddenly in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. Although he did not pass away on camera, some may find this video disturbing.
Bunny bathtime is the new hot thing. All the bunnies are doing it…
It's a veritable “Breaking Bad” buffet. Okay, technically, these…
