Thursday's A.M. Hot Clicks
Busted!
Michael Pineda was ejected from last night's Yankees-Red Sox game after being caught with pine tar on his neck (here's a GIF of the actual ejection). GM Brian Cashman said the team was embarrassed by the incident while former players George Brett (who knows a thing or two about pine tar) and Gabe Kaplercouldn't believe how obvious Pineda was about it. Our friends at MLB Memes had the best reaction to the incident as Ed Harris was the first person I thought of.

But the fan had a change of heart and gave the stick to the kid. This Red Sox supporter, however, had no problem stealing the ball shortstop Xander Bogaerts was tossing to a young fan in the first row.

It's Too Easy
Duke University is the butt of many jokes. Members of the school's track and field team lip-syncing to a One Direction song isn't helping matters.
