THIS is why I come here. Pun intended.

"But it wasn't until Sports Illustrated sent reporters to uncover birth records in his native Dominican that the scam was revealed."

From what I understand, it certainly isn't uncommon for kids who find success in Little League (specifically winning the LLWS) to go on without having comparable success in their adult/pro careers. I feel like ESPN did a short piece on it during last year or the year before's LLWS.

Yeah, they won fair and square. Can't take that away from them. Doesn't mean I can't say "Fuck New England."

Maybe I read the quote wrong but it sounds like they were trying to get a non-K ball into the rotation.

+1 Kirsten Dunst's awkward rack

I love that comment by the anchor at the end there.

"As just about everybody else has pointed out, Tim Duncan has been around for 929 of those wins . . ."

Not exactly a "You win the Internet," but it's my first endorsement of this type. Thank you for sharing this special moment with me. You're gonna call, right? Maybe?

+1 I don't quite get it, but I feel like this is funny.

"Update: He got caught."

Anyone foolish enough to challenge Boner Dog's gangsta reaches the same conclusion after getting dealt with... So that's probably for the best.
