Welcome!

TheSportingSnarf  is a website dedicated to the enjoyable, humorous, and nuanced aspects of the sporting and (to a lesser extent) pop-culture world.  We attempt to touch upon (in varying degrees of print/video length) engaging topics which are not discussed nearly enough. We’d love for you to give us your perspective, network, and participate regularly. But if you’d just like to join in on the mob-mentality and get all sanctimonious on a particular sports figure — head on over to ESPN.com. (Mickey Mouse welcomes you.) Or you can keep it real with us.

Hanging Us Out to Dry

Hanging Us Out to Dry

It’s the same, same old song: Brad doesn’t bunt. There was none more glaring than today’s 4-0 shutout, where three Tigers double plays cost us any run support. Shane “The Crane” gave up all four in one inning. Otherwise, we kept Oakland’s lineup in check. They tried to offer us some help behind three errors, […]

Brad Breaking Hearts

The Tigers just played the game of the year. But, thanks again, to improper management, the hearts in Detroit will silently weep. And this is for real. We scored eight fucking runs and lost 10-8. Here comes the breakdown: The Astros did some nice snarfing out the gate, hitting a triple with two on and […]

Fuck the Police

“All I know is that I don’t trust police no more. No police. None,” said Malissa Williams’ brother Alfredo Williams. “I can’t recover from this. …This verdict isn’t real. This verdict is fake.” Source: Cleveland officer not guilty in unarmed pair’s killing – CNN.com

Where You At, Small Ball?

Beautiful sunny day in Michigan. Kyle Lobstein gave us a chance to win, nearly reaching six innings on three runs. He gave up one run early, but we responded the bottom half of the inning on an Anthony Gose double. It’s pretty much a dead horse now. But we’ll beat it one more time for […]

Handling Business

Big Pasta pitched quite well, going seven solid innings on his highest pitch total of the season and not allowing one earned run. Houston struck first with a pair of unearned runs to lead 2-0. Then, J.D. Martinez decided to even things up. After barely fouling one off to left, he annihilated the next pitch […]

Eleven Inning Affair

What a game. Detroit used eleven innings against the Houston Astros on a day game. Dave Price pitched quite well, striking out 12 free-swinging Astros along the way. He ran into some trouble, though, in the seventh, to create the drama. While Houston looked abysmal, the Tigers threatened often. However, the fruits of our labor […]

Trending Trash

If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t even believe it. South Park didn’t drop the hammer hard enough on PewDeePie: holy shit are you mother fuckers a lame ass generation. Fresh air. Trees. Wind. Sky. Forgot what they looked like? Felt like? Smelled like? I went into a chat room with the […]

Hell of a Ride

It was a low-scoring turnover affair to begin. Everybody had those game seven jitters. Luckily for Houston, they were at home. The shots didn’t click for LA in the first half. We trailed ten at halftime, even though the Rockets looked terrible. I’m just gonna say it right now: we ran out of gas. Every […]

Miguel Cabrera Steals the Show

Detroit led off with consecutive quick at-bats, and the rain was pouring on a warm day in St. Louis. Miguel Cabrera, #24 of the Tigers, stepped up to bat. He worked a full count after fouling off an array of pitches, then crushed one right back to dead center (like last night). Welcome to the […]
