In baseball, there are great plays, great pitches, great runs and great hits, but there are no “great bat flips.” When a batter hits a home run, he either tosses the bat away in an unpretentious way, because he is obligated to, or he showboats, to show up the opposing pitcher, which I don’t believe Jeff McNeil did today, when he homered in the bottom of the ninth on his 29th birthday, to tie the Mets’ home opener, on the way to their winning on a bases loaded hit-by-pitch to Michael Conforto, which sports geniuses dubbed a “walk-off.”
(Were they being ironic? Are they capable of irony?)
You don’t “unleash” a bat flip, but you do unleash a home run.
I wish I could say that was the dumbest sports headline of the year.
The offender is named Matt Monagan, and works for baseball, inc. Remember that name!

NOW...THE REST OF THE STORY ABOUT TIGER WOODS(IT MAY INVOLVE DRUGS)
GRA:No shocker there.
(Breitbart)
According to a police report of the investigation into Tiger Woods’ February 23 wreck, officers found him somewhat combative during questioning. Officers also said they found an unlabeled pill bottle in the wrecked vehicle.
The report collected by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department noted that an “empty plastic pharmaceutical container” was found in a backpack found in the bushes outside the car after the accident.
“The container had no label, and there was no indication as to what, if anything, had been inside,” the report says, according to TMZ.
Officials noted that surveillance video showed Woods toting a similar backpack at the five-star Terranea Resort on the morning of the accident.
However, the report also says that investigators did not find any drugs or alcohol in the car or crash scene.
GRA:Two options:Drug usage and an unintentional accident,or drug usage(he took all the pills) and a suicide attempt.When he got a prescription for those pills is the key question.
