The hype machine is out of service.

Disappointment has surpassed hope as the overwhelming emotion. 

A scapegoat has already been unfairly blamed because it was the easiest, most predictable target.

The San Diego Padres, losers of six of their last eight games, begin a three-game series against the San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park in the worst possible way—by facing reigning World Series MVP Madison Bumgarner.

The game is tied 0-0 through three innings, and Bumgarner has been dominant so far.

The air horn prank, as a means of terrifying people, is one of the more reliable scare tactics in the anarchist playbook.

The target is alarmed, no one is punched in the neck (usually) and everyone goes home with a fun, dull ringing in their ears.

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant reached 10 home runs and 42 RBI for the season with a big night against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday, becoming the first player in franchise history to record 10 or more homers and 40 or more RBI before the All-Star break in his debut season, per MLB Stat of the Day.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Freddy Galvis laid down a masterful bunt in the fourth inning of Monday's 11-8 win over the New York Yankees.

And we mean masterful.
