TSN is going BarDown, covering sports far beyond typical hard news, stats, and analysis. Launching Tuesday, BarDown.com brings Canadians fun, original, and buzz-worthy sports content with a pop culture twist. BarDown takes the hottest headlines, viral videos, GIFs, and more from the worlds of sports and pop culture and packages it all in one place - from the best of @Biznasty to where Drake and Jermain Defoe have dinner. Helmed by Managing Editor Dave Krikst, BarDown also features original video, news, and features from a team of talented young writers and sports fans. "Sports and pop culture stopped being two separate categories a long time ago," said Dave Krikst, Managing Editor of BarDown. "BarDown brings them together, like a double rainbow of Strombone tweets and LeBron facemask memes. Its the online equivalent of hanging out with your buddies, except better, because you know that guy who always shows up but no one really likes? Hes not there." If you like what we post on our Facebook page and Instagram account, youll want to check out BarDown. Its just as awesome. Here are the Top 4 things to expect from BarDown: 4. The most essential viral sports content - Theres a camera on pretty much everyone these days, and while we agree thats incredibly creepy, it also means that even more amazing sports moments are captured every day. If theres something amazing, whether its a crazy deke from a peewee practice or an awesome diving catch from a senior softball league, youll find it on BarDown. 3. Original videos - Youll see more from Cabbie, because frankly were getting tired of his constant "production shoots" in L.A. and then seeing all his "work" on Instagram. So were reeling him in, sticking him in a man cave with Jeff ONeill and capturing it all on video. Were sure theyll discuss vital information like who from NHL on TSN listens to Michael Bolton to get himself in "the zone" before going on-air (hint: its Mike Johnson). 2. Classic Clips - Think Michael Landsbergs mullet and Gino Redas mustache circa the 1980s. Both are thick and glorious in their own right and, oh boy, do we have the evidence to prove it. Along with featuring slightly embarrassing archival footage, BarDown will also throw back to classic sports calls, like Gord Millers signature "Can You Believe It?" from the World Juniors gold medal game in 2010. 1. New content, every day - BarDown is constantly being updated with stuff youll want to pawn off to your buddies as your own. Were banking on that sweet, sweet virtual recognition that everyone craves as a reason for you to go BarDown every day... or 10 times a day. To visit BarDown, click over to

Louis and Ryan Kesler have demanded to be traded.Mark Buehrle goes after his major league-leading 11th win of the season on Thursday when the Toronto Blue Jays open a four-game series with the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. Buehrle lost for the first time in seven decisions on Saturday to St. Louis, but it was through no fault of his own, as he was again tremendous, surrendering one run and five hits in seven innings. However, he did walk five batters and fell to 10-2, despite lowering his ERA a tick to 2.04. The 35-year-old left-handers resurgence has been a big reason why the Blue Jays sit atop the American League East standings. "We go out there and win a few games, try to win a series, thats how we have to go from here on out," said Buehrle. "Not really a scoreboard watcher or look at what other teams are doing, just go out there and try to take care of yourself. Hopefully were at first place at the end of the year, but we have a long way to go." Buehrle is a perfect 5-0 with a stingy 1.47 ERA away from home this season. One of those wins came in Baltimore back on April 13, but hes 8-8 with a 3.31 ERA in 20 career starts against the Os. Toronto will be looking to get itself right on Thursday, as it enters this series on the heels of dropping four of five after a 7-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday. Jose Bautista had two hits, drove in a run and scored a run for the Blue Jays, who had won 15 of 17 before this rough patch. Toronto, though, still holds a 4 1/2-game edge on the Orioles and Yankees in the division. "I thinkk weve cooled off pretty good, pretty much top to bottom in the lineup .dddddddddddd.. but thats the way it goes," manager John Gibbons said. "The key is you cant prolong the struggles. Youve got to put an end to them. The bats will heat up again, hopefully sooner than later." Baltimore will try to make up some ground behind young righty Kevin Gausman, who is coming off the best showing of his career. The 23-year-old former first round pick earned his first win as a starter on Saturday, as he held the Oakland Athletics to a run and four hits over seven innings to even his record at 1-1, while, lowering his ERA almost seven runs to 4.91. "If he pitches next time like he pitched last time, I view him as a starter," Showalter said. Baltimore comes into this series after taking two of three from the Boston Red Sox. In Wednesdays rubber match, Chris Davis hit a two-run homer to back seven scoreless innings from Wei-Yin Chen, as Baltimore rolled, 6-0. Chen (7-2) gave up four hits while striking out a season-high seven batters for the Orioles, who bounced back from a 1-0 loss on Tuesday. Adam Jones, Nick Hundley, Jonathan Schoop and Nick Markakis each knocked in a run. "I came out here early today and worked on a few things that have really be helpful for me in the past and was able to swing the bat the way I wanted to tonight so it was definitely a good night for me," Davis said. Baltimore has split six matchups with the Blue Jays this season. ' ' 'Team Eliminated: Ivory CoastWorst Team Remaining: Greece @WheelerTSNgareth.wheeler@bellmedia.ca ' ' '
