It was simply glorious to watch last night. The night that the New York Mets finally clinched the National League East title. Yes it took them four tries at clinching it - after having been swept by the lowly Pirates over the weekend in Pittsburgh. But for those of you that remember the 1986 Mets, [...]

In case you didn’t realize it and you’re still wondering how Italy beat France in the World Cup - today was the Home Run Derby contest over at the Major League Baseball All Star Game in PNC Stadium Pittsburgh.
