Share this: Well that didn’t take long. Three at-bats into his major league career, Andrew Benintendi has collected his first big league hit. The Boston Red Sox’s 22-year-old outfielder took an 83 mph 0-1 splitter from Seattle Mariners starter Hisashi Iwakuma the opposite way for a clean base hit to left field. Several members of Benintendi’s family, including his parents, two sisters, several aunts and uncles and a bunch of friends all were in attendance. They all were pretty excited.

Gisele Wishes Tom Brady Happy Birthday With Another Adorable Instagram Post
Share this: All things considered, Tom Brady’s life is still pretty good. Sure, there’s that whole Deflategate thing and the four-game suspension that comes with it, but when the chips are down, Brady’s still doing OK for himself. The New England Patriots quarterback turns 39 on Wednesday. And while he might soon be “over the hill,” there’s no denying the former MVP is still on top of his game. He still excels as one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks, has roughly a bajillion dollars and he’s got a supermodel for a wife and an adorable family. While Patriots fans serenaded the signal-caller with “Happy Birthday,” Mrs. Brady — aka world-famous supermodel Gisele Bundchen — also gave her QB husband public birthday wishes with this
Hanley Ramirez Injures Left Wrist; Update Reportedly Coming Wednesday
Share this: The bad news kept coming for the Boston Red Sox late Tuesday night. After the Seattle Mariners came back to beat the Sox in a dramatic 5-4 win, first baseman Hanley Ramirez slipped down the dugout stairs and injured his left wrist. He later was seen on a cart heading for tests by reporters, and manager John Farrell gave an update on the freak accident afterward. “After the game, he was walking down the dugout — there’s two or three steps at the bottom of the dugout coming into the clubhouse — and lost his footing,” Farrell said. “He caught himself behind and jammed his left wrist.

Team USA Hoops Avoiding Lovely (LOL) Olympic Village By Staying On Cruise Ship
Share this: The buildup to the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janiero couldn’t be going any better (sarcasm alert). If the political unrest in Brazil, Zika virus, major safety concerns and toxic water wasn’t enough, add a less than ideal Olympic village to the list of problems. But the United States men’s and women’s basketball teams won’t have to worry about the exposed wired and blocked toilets in the village, as they will stay aboard “The Silver Cloud” luxury cruise ship in Rio’s Maua port terminal instead. (Just stay out of the water and avoid banana boats, please.) Other athletes won’t be as lucky, though, as Dallas Mavericks center and Team Australia member Andrew Bogut pointed out on Twitter on Tuesday. relaxar meus amigos brasileiros. ele estava tirando
Bears Didn’t Want JoJo To Pick Jordan Rodgers On ‘The Bachelorette’ Finale
Share this: *Warning: the following post contains spoilers for “The Bachelorette” season finale that aired Monday. It seems divisional rivalries extend beyond the playing field and into personal lives in the NFC North. Aaron Rodgers’ little brother, Jordan Rodgers, won JoJo Fletcher’s heart and this season of “The Bachelorette” on Monday, and the Chicago Bears — like a lot of America — just couldn’t handle it. Of course, Aaron plays for the Green Bay Packers and regularly beats up on the Bears. Guess we can’t blame them. It was Aaron who’s been beaten up in the media lately, though, as Jordan revealed during “The Bachelorette” that he and his brother currently don’t have much of a relationship. Because it’s been the topic of every tabloid
