    • (AP)A little over a year after city police tased an out-of-control fan during a Pittsburgh Pirates game, another violent arrest occurred at PNC Park. Security didn't break out the tasers this time, but they probably could have.

      The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that a PNC Park security supervisor lost a finger and a police officer injured his shoulder Saturday trying to subdue three raging fans, including a 21-year-old woman. Rachel George and her 50-year-old father, Christopher George, face charges that include aggravated assault, conspiracy, harassment, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness. A criminal complaint filed by Det. Frank Rende states that "tensions flared" after Ms. George was taken to the security office because she was smoking at her seat.

      As Pirates security supervisor Joseph Risher was escorting her out of the right field gate, Ms. George's unidentified boyfriend assaulted him and ran off. Ms. George jumped on the guard's back and started to pull him backward, the complaint says.

      Her father joined in the attack, pushing him up against a fence.

      "While defending himself, Mr. Risher got his left hand caught on the fence, and when he was pulled by both (defendants) his left middle finger was ripped off at the second knuckle and was hanging by a piece of skin," Detective Rende wrote in the complaint.

      Mr. Risher, he added, was screaming in pain.

      Ow, ow, ow. But the fight wasn't over.

    • Create-a-Caption: Partying like it’s 1988

      (AP)

      The Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks just split a two-game set, which means the boys in blue still hold a big 8 1/2-game lead over the defending NL West champions. Considering that margin, D-backs manager Kirk Gibson probably didn't have much in the way of the comeback department in his conversation with Orel Hershiser and Tommy Lasorda on Tuesday night.

      As an aside, seeing this picture just reminded me that next year will mark the 25th anniversary of the Dodgers' title team. Time really isn't messing around any more, is it?

      So have at it, amateur Internet copy editors of the world. How should this caption read?

    • I'm not saying that this Ron Washington puppet is inherently evil (though if it has a voice that sounds like the ghost of Nipsey Russell I probably have no other choice).

      What I am saying is that the Texas Rangers are 0-2 since this fan turned the stands of Rangers Ballpark into an episode of the "Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour."

      _

      By the way, this isn't the first time that Ron Washington has been portrayed in puppet form. During the last World Series, a woman showed up with dueling Wash and Tony La Russa puppets.

    • Say what you will about the new caps of the Miami Marlins, but one actually ended up a hero during Tuesday night's game against the Astros. Well, maybe the guy who used the cap to stop a foul ball from hitting a small baby was the actual hero, but I wouldn't miss this opportunity if I were in the team's merchandising department. ("Baby-saving caps for sale!")

      Here's the video of the catch. It's a little hard to see, but you can hear Marlins team president David Samson doing a little play-by-play as it unfolds. And there's no way he'd ever intentionally deceive us.

      Right?

    • David Wright was more than willing to take the chance of becoming a fat target at the plate in the seventh inning of Tuesday night's 8-0 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers.

      Terry Collins, however, was not willing to put his best player in that position. With the possibility of retaliation hanging in the air after Ryan Braun was hit by a D.J. Carrasco pitch in the top half of the inning — a plunking that came directly after a Rickie Weeks homer and resulted in Carrasco's ejection — Collins made the decision to lift Wright from the game.

      "(Wright) said, 'If somebody should be hit, I want it to be me,''' Collins told reporters after the game. ''I said it's not going to be you.''

      As you can see in this video, Collins and Wright had a pretty good go at it when their two viewpoints were revealed:

      But things soon settled down in the Mets universe with Collins apparently getting his point across and Wright telling the media that he's "loved playing for [Collins], the short amount of time we've had together."  So all's well that ends well?

      Not quite.
