- Brett Gardner and Aaron Boone are going to be facing suspension pretty soon, as the umpires have had more than enough of their shit.
In a move which indicate the balance of power heading to Houston for another world championship, Gardner, after another rigged third strike to another Yankee batter, starting his now-famous banging of the bat against the roof of the dugout this afternoon.
In a protracted argument, this resulted in his ejection (at least the second since the infamous "Savages In The Box" argument), as the umpires, thanks to an increasingly-popular baseball meme YouTuber named Jomboy (whose videos I occasionally view -- and he was featured in ESPN yesterday!) for that act, which has been deemed showing up the umpires in that situation.
By the end of it, Gardner, manager Aaron Boone, and injury-list pitcher CC Sabathia were all tossed. The Yankees won, 6-5.
- Dodger pitcher Julio Urias has been banned 20 games for a violence incident against a woman back in May. (Deadspin)
- Ezekiel Elliot will be cleared of all potential charges regarding an assault on an EDM staffer in Las Vegas in May. (Deadspin)
Maybe, idiot, you should last about five minutes without getting in potential trouble with the law or your league before you go demanding that fat contract of yours. Another wasted year coming up for the Cowboys, their thug organization, and their thug fans.
- Also possibly facing suspension, or at least we hope so, NASCAR Truck Series crew members of the #88 Matt Crafton team for homophobic slurs. (Jalopnik)
Stay tuned on this one, this is NECK-CAR after all. Members of Crafton's team were reacting to on-track incidents between Crafton and fellow playoff driver Stewart Freisen, when one of them called Friesen (with apologies to anyone offended) a "fucking queer".
