Before Sunday Night Baseball's game between the Cardinals and Pirates, the last before the All Star break, Andrew McCutchen did an interview.

During the interview the Pirates centerfielder did a spot on impression of ESPN baseball weasel, Tim Kirkjian.  On top of being accurate it's also very funny.

There was a rain delay during the Pirates game last night that required the tarp.  That was easier said than done.

The wind picked up as the grounds crew was putting the tarp down and a member of the grounds crew was swallowed by the tarp.  Lucky for him Andrew McCutchen and Sean Rodriguez witnessed the whole thing.

The two Pirates came to his rescue as did their teammates.  They not only rescued the grounds crew member, but they assisted with getting the tarp under control and laid out.

Andrew McCutchen's pay stub ended up online.  The story is a guy came across it during a Wrigley Field tour after the Pirates outfielder left it.  The two week pay stub is unreal to look at considering how much McCutchen took home for the two weeks.

Also eye opening is how much money he was taxed.  No wonder so many athletes go bankrupt when their playing days are over.  Uncle Sam is taxing them silly, via SB Nation:

The Arizona Diamondbacks don't know when you should retaliate.  Sure Paul Goldschmidt was hit with a pitch and will likely be done for the season after suffering a broken bone in his hand.  But anyone who saw the pitch that hit Goldschmidt can tell it was inadvertent and required no retaliation.

Everyone that is except for Randall Delgado and the Arizona Diamondbacks.  Delgado exacted his revenge on Andrew McCutchen in the 9th inning of a 5-1 loss.  McCutchen and the Pirates are in an intense playoff push a game and a half back in the NL Central and now McCutchen is expected to go on the DL.

There are times when retaliation, like it or not, is appropriate but this is not one of those times and this action is indefensible.

Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen was on the The Ellen DeGeneres Show and the National League MVP proposed to his girlfriend Maria Hansloven.  The Pirates star got down on one knee and pulled out a ring in the middle of the show, while explaining:

"I didn't do any of this for the publicity...I didn't do any of this for the recognition...I did this to show you that if I could tell the whole world how much that I love you, I would do that."
