The British are whining, the British are whining — about some Minnesota Twins fans stealing the anthem of one of England's professional soccer clubs, Leeds United.

The Yorkshire Evening Post reports (hopefully in half-joking fashion) that Leeds fans have "cried foul" about the "cheeky hijacking" of "Marching On Together," a spirited and catchy tune released 40 years ago that became Leeds' anthem and reportedly a top 10 hit in England in 2010.

The umbrage is directed at songwriters Andy Sturdevant (and someone humorously called "Chairman Mauer"), who adapted the song to fit Twins themes, and at the Minnesota Culture Club, which released a YouTube video assembled via Skype of fans singing the retooled tune. The newspaper bases the supposed resentment on two fan tweets, along with some fairly non-confrontational comments made by the original authors, pop songwriters Les Reed and Barry Mason. (The pair also wrote "Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes.")

The Post writes :

In it, they replace the original's line of 'Leeds, Leeds, Leeds' with 'Twins, Twins, Twins'.

Its exhilarating opening blast of 'Here we go with Leeds United' has also been changed to 'Here we go with Minnesota'.

Bollocks! (Can we say "Bollocks!"?)

With Cliff Lee currently on the disabled list since April 22, Philadelphia Phillies fans haven't been able to watch their star lefty take the mound for their team every five days.

But depending on where they live, some Phillies fans have been lucky enough to see Lee once a week at the bottom of their driveways. Lee's move into the world of waste management sponsorship last year has resulted in his likeness recently being placed on the side of J.P. Mascaro & Sons garbage trucks in the Philadelphia area.

I don't think I've ever seen a professional athlete endorse a waste services company, but you can't blame Cliff for jumping at the chance to throw a few cans of Benjamins in his own hauler.

I mean, easy bread for giving the old thumbs up to the garbage man? Fuhgeddaboutit!

From J.P. Mascaro & Sons:

Truth: Detroit Tigers games would be 427 percent funnier if Miguel Cabrera played third base while wearing an eye patch.

Not to sound like Carol Brady warning the Bunch about playing ball in the house, but video of a Tampa Bay Rays fan falling head over heels, over a railing and out of the grandstand at Tropicana Field on Wednesday in pursuit of a foul ball gives me mixed emotions. In the end, he was OK. He lost his beer (though he surely replaced it and might have been full of them already), and someone rewarded him with a ball after the fan managed to stick his landing like Mary Lou Retton in the '84 Olympics. Watch for yourself:

Whoa, dude. The unidentified fan later talked to MLB.com in an interview on his way to the beer concession:

The Atlanta Braves were careful not to injure Chipper Jones after the over-the-hill third baseman rounded the bases after his walk-off homer in Wednesday's wild 15-13 win over the Philadelphia Phillies in 11 innings. No, seriously: Chipper was carefully ushered into home plate like he was a newly arrived dolphin at an aquarium or something.

Catcher Brian McCann, however, did not walk away from his own home run unscathed. After hitting a grand slam off Roy Halladay in the fifth inning, McCann was greeted at home plate by Michael Bourn, who unintentionally stuck one of his fingers into his teammate's eye.

I recently made a half-joking comment on Twitter that this blog would publish a post about 19-year-old Bryce Harper at least once a day for the rest of the season, because ever since the Washington Nationals said they were calling him up, that's what we've done. Well, if Harper keeps getting key hits and making unreal plays and playing softball with strangers in the park on days off, the joke might be on us.

On Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, Harper turned in his best game so far at the plate — 3 for 4 with two doubles, including one leading off the bottom of the ninth to set up Ian Desmond for a game-ending two-run home run.

But Harper's top moment came on Jason Kubel's fly ball to center in the sixth when Harper made a tumbling barehanded grab with just three fingers before landing in the grass. Harper seemed to misjudge the trajectory a little bit, but he was saved because — it appears — he always tries to catch fly balls using both hands. Just like you (should) tell your 8-year-old. It's one of the best examples a professional baseball player can set. Harper has shown a natural ability in making some amazing throws so far, but his barehanded catch can be attributed in part to good practice habits.

"I was wondering if anybody saw that,'' Harper said. ''It went underneath my glove, and I caught it with my bare hand on the back side of it.''

And here's video of Harper's day the plate:

Larry Wayne's magical mystery trip: Chipper Jones may not appear in every game on this year's retirement tour, but it appears he's going to do something special on the occasions that he does. The 40-year-old third baseman hit a two-run walk-off homer in the bottom of the 11th inning on Wednesday night to end a wild 15-13 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.

''When I am in there, I want to make a splash,'' Jones said. ''I did it tonight.''

The walk-off was the eighth of Chipper's career and the scaled-back celebration at home plate signaled that he'd been there before. Actually, check that, because we know the Braves took age and injury history into consideration while lightly slapping him on the back.

Well, that's one way to shut everyone up about Albert Pujols and his lack of homers.

A good way to start erasing the memory of the Angels' lackluster April, too.

Jered Weaver became the latest member of the no-hitter club by turning in nine dominating innings in a 9-o win  against the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night. In doing so, he helped the team complete a sweep of the Twins while authoring a special moment in front of the Southern California fans that he grew up among. Weaver is the second pitcher to throw a no-hitter in the major leagues this season. He joins Phil Humber of the White Sox, a fellow 2004 first-round draft pick who threw a perfect game against the Mariners on April 2o.
