Well, this is awkward.

According to Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com, a staff member of the New York Mets accidentally sent out general manager Sandy Alderson's credit card information to the New York press. The staff member intended to send the information to get tickets for a Broadway show.

Fortunately, the mistake was quickly caught and the information didn't spread to anyone except the media members.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are set to take on the New York Yankees this weekend for the first time since the 2008 regular season.  

Pittsburgh crushed New York by a score of 12-5 in the first game of the two-game series before being shut out 10-0 in the second game six years ago.    

This is an old rivalry that will be renewed when the Pirates play in their first series at the new Yankee Stadium in the Bronx.  

Fans attending St. Louis Cardinals games at Busch Stadium have to be on their best behavior, or they might feel the wrath of the team's superhero.

A man named Charlie Chartland, who identifies himself as the St. Louis Superman, breaks up fights around the stadium in a full costume, sometimes even laying on offending fans to prevent the fight from continuing.

Few if any would’ve envisioned the St. Louis Cardinals to be hovering around .500 a month-and-a-half into the regular season. The Cardinals are the reigning National League champions, the team many picked to run away with the Central Division.

Yes, the season is young, but the Cardinals’ unexpected slump to begin 2014 is reason enough to believe general manager John Mozeliak could make a few moves at the trade deadline.

Getting a big raise can change the way people act, but for Milwaukee Brewers star Carlos Gomez, it changed the way he talked to some people.

Last spring, Gomez received a three-year, $24 million extension from the Brewers. That amount of money is enough to change one's lifestyle.

ESPN.com's Darren Rovell stepped into a batting cage against New York Yankees legend Mariano Rivera. You can pretty much guess how that went.

The best hitters in baseball had a tough time hitting against the retired closer for 19 years. That means Rovell had very little chance of having success.

Zack Greinke has registered a 3-0 record and 1.72 ERA in five starts against the Arizona Diamondbacks since joining the Los Angeles Dodgers, which is important to consider when making your MLB picks Friday, as the two teams face off at Dodger Stadium.

New England Sports Network's Jenny Dell may be dating Boston Red Sox third baseman Will Middlebrooks, but she has no problem rewarding a kid for a strong effort.

Updates from Saturday, May 17

ESPN's Jerry Crasnick has an update on Votto's status:

The darkest timeline has arrived with Community reaching its inevitable end after five incredibly bizarre seasons of television.

The unconventional NBC cult comedy managed to survive through five seasons, a solid run run for a show with poor ratings that constantly defied typical sitcom conventions and expectations. Unfortunately, Dan Harmon's show fell one season shy of its "six seasons and a movie" rallying cry.
