You knew this was coming.

In his first game back in New York after his infamous slide in Game 2 of the National League Division Series, Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Chase Utley was booed by the Big Apple faithful.

Thunderously.

The Chicago Cubs aren’t playing around.

After St. Louis Cardinals pinch hitter Randal Grichuk hit a fifth-inning home run in Game 2 of the National League Division Series Friday night, he came out for a curtain call.

It was strange. The dinger cut Chicago's lead to 6-3, the eventual final score. It was big, but certainly not a heroic walk-off in extra innings.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was trying to do something nice for a local team.

The Houston Astros were leading the Kansas City Royals 6-2 heading into the eighth inning Monday, just six outs away from advancing to the American League Championship Series.

Abbott, ever the opportunist, tweeted out a congratulatory message. But he jumped the gun.

This young Chicago Cubs fan went above and beyond with a crazy real haircut bearing the image of star pitcher Jake Arrieta this week.

Endless props to that barber.

A night after chucking a complete-game shutout against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the National League Wild Card Game, the 29-year-old caught wind of the ‘do:

The rain was coming down during Thursday’s opening contest of the American League Division Series between the Houston Astros and Kansas City Royals.

Seriously, it was pouring:

There was a rain delay in the top of the third, so the Royals grounds crew had to roll out the tarp. One guy almost got eaten alive.

Baseball children: still the undefeated featherweight champions of the sports children world.

I've covered it before, so I won't elaborate further on the stranglehold of awesomeness baseball children have on the sector of youth/sports fandom.

Somewhere in Pittsburgh, a cooler lays battered and bruised—possibly impaled on spikes due to a special "fatality" button-mashing.

And its killer was Sean Rodriguez, who transformed into some kind of Jack Sparrow/Rocky Marciano hybrid after being ejected from Wednesday night's National League Wild Card Game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs.

During the Chicago Cubs-Pittsburgh Pirates NL Wild Card Game on Wednesday night, Chi-Town rookie Kyle Schwarber crushed a home run literally out of PNC Park.

It was his third RBI of the game and left Pirates pitcher Gerrit Cole visibly frustrated. 

The blast made some Cubs history. Schwarber became the youngest player to homer in the postseason for Chicago in 83 years:

With the Pittsburgh Pirates hosting the Chicago Cubs in the NL Wild Card Game, Pittsburgh saw an opportunity. Capitalizing on home-field advantage is key to a successful playoff run, so why not give the players a little (legal) help?

We're not talking instructing fans to cheer or yell "charge." We're talking full-fledged instructions.

If you live in the Atlanta metropolitan area and hear a loud, prolonged steak-fart coming over your radio Wednesday, don't be alarmed.

That's just Mike Bell explaining his tweets.
