PITTSBURGH -- A season thats spiraled away from the Pittsburgh Pirates spilled into frustration Sunday.On the edge of elimination from the playoff race with a 10-7 loss to Washington, the Pirates got into a bench-clearing skirmish after Nationals star Bryce Harper injured his left thumb trying to avoid a fake tag by third baseman Jung Ho Kang.The Pirates are five games behind in the NL wild-card race with a week left.When Kang came up for the first time after Harper was hurt in the third inning, he saw a fastball sail behind him from Washington starter A.J. Cole.Thats when the fracas began.I was just calmly sitting there watching some people come out of their dugout like, as if they were in the right, Im just trying to understand how, said Pirates left fielder Sean Rodriguez, who was ejected during the fray.How could you defend throwing the ball behind someones head for whatever reason? I guess thats what got me going a little bit, he said.Cole also was tossed.I was very surprised I was the only one ejected considering, Rodriguez said. I got blamed for being the one that instigated, but you can watch the film yourself.Harpers thumb was sore and the reigning NL MVP will have X-rays Monday.Harper led off the third inning with a triple for the NL East champions. As Harper neared third, Kang acted as if a throw was coming and faked a tag.Harper went down, was checked by a trainer and stayed in. He scored on Anthony Rendons double and was replaced in the field in the bottom half by Chris Heisey.Jayson Werth, who was in the middle of the ruckus, had a pinch-hit, two-run homer and Heisey had a go-ahead single during a five-run burst in the eighth. The Nationals rally came against former teammate Felipe Rivero (1-5).Rivero had allowed just four earned runs in his previous 25 innings since being traded from Washington to the Pirates.Kang hit a two-run homer off Koda Glover to give the Pirates the lead in the seventh.Shawn Kelley (3-2) wound up with the win. Former Pirates closer Mark Melancon pitched a scoreless ninth for his 43rd save.TRAINERS ROOMPirates: C Francisco Cervelli did not play after taking a foul ball off his wrist Saturday. ...

A cardboard Burger King crown, a wide-eyed surprised expression and a kiss. This is known as the most viral Super Smash Bros. moment to spread on the internet.The photo has become the default nerdy gamer guy reaction for many forums and websites. Even today, seven years after the photo was taken, it regularly resurfaces on Reddit and Facebook. Having been edited with various different captions riffing on nerd and gaming culture, the picture has entered annals of the internet. Most people who have no prior knowledge of the Smash scene may just assume its just a photo of a person in shock after being kissed. But theres more to the story.Jason Mew2King Zimmerman, one of the most well-known competitors in Super Smash Bros., is the boy with the shocked expression.Amber Scheurer is the girl kissing him. Nowadays, she works as an electrical engineer in digital light processing at Texas Instruments. But back in 2009, she was just a 20-year-old college student following her boyfriend John Rx- Vastola around to Smash tournaments. At the time, she didnt know shed become a permanent internet fixture in the Smash Bros. community.The story begins at Tipped Off 5, a regional tournament in Lawrenceville, Georgia, where Mew2King came in secondd to Juan Hungrybox Debiedma.dddddddddddd. Scheurer remembers he was sulking after the loss. The crowd that was standing around was like oh, you should give him a kiss on the cheek to cheer him up, so I did, she told ESPN.com.I was the one who made it happen, claims Hendrick DJ Nintendo William?Pilar, a professional Melee competitor who also attended the event. I told [Scheurer] to kiss M2K and she did it without hesitation.While many fans online have speculated that it was a staged interaction, Scheurer contests that. She says, It was definitely very candid and I dont think it was like Ambers going to give you a kiss and you should make a weird face.But considering Mew2Kings style of humor, maybe it wasnt as candid as Scheurer thinks it was.Mew2King admitted to ESPN.com that he wanted the picture to be funny prior to taking it. He says he wanted that anime-esque surprised expression: Over-exaggerated wide eyes and cartoony features. In the end, it mightve been a combination of spontaneity and Mew2Kings crafty sense of humor. Regardless, it made for one of the most memorable memes in Smash history.
