The Upton brothers got a little too close for comfort on Tuesday night.B.J. Upton and Justin Upton collided in left-centerfield on Tuesday night as the Atlanta Braves took on the New York Mets.You can clearly see B.J. waving off his younger brother, but Justin didn't hear him and the two collided right as B.J. makes the catch and hangs on.The two were obviously just fine, as B.J. shoves his younger bro as the two walk off the field together, but I'm not sure Mrs. Upton will be so happy.It's one thing to see two players collide and joke about it, but how often do we see brothers do it?Twitter had a bit of fun with the collision too: Upton brothers fall down, go boom. http://t.co/vsI6LSttVw— Erik Malinowski (@erikmal) June 19, 2013 VIDEO: Upton brothers collide in outfield, but no one's hurt, so it's funny. http://t.co/gtP8l4ZzEP— Deadspin (@Deadspin) June 19, 2013 Too many syllables for a "Prince" parody song, alas RT @sbnation: This is what happens when Uptons collide: http://t.co/9sIloJGjua— dianagram (@dianagram) June 19, 2013 Let's just hope that the two can learn how to share better in the future.Follow @JoshSchoch

*VH1′s “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta” features a cast full of oddballs, attention whores, drag queens, trollops, and wannabe performers. The reality series is cable television’s premiere three-ringed circus, and two of its biggest clowns recently tied the knot in Puerto Rico. Professional two-timing record-producer Stevie J and his new wifey Joseline Hernandez, the fiery, talentless chica from the block, recently exchanged nuptials, reports show. Fans of the hit VH1 reality series are well aware of the bizarre love and affection that Stevie and Joseline have for one another, but surely, reports of them getting married have likely caught people off guard. No word yet on whether the happy couple was intoxicated, or held at gun point, before fleeing “Hotlanta.” So at least for now, it’s probably safe to assume that yet another 60-second marriage is underway. According to Media Take Out, the minister who presided over the ceremony has been ex-communicated from the church for making a mockery of God. Also, the judge who approved their marriage license is under investigation for drinking on the job and snorting blow between court cases. In other words, if the sanctity of marriage wasn’t already dead, Steve J and Joseline’s union has made it official. That’s right guys, the jig is up. Take those engagement rings back to the “jeweler” (wink, wink) and save your money. And ladies, you might as well scrap that 10 year, Vera Wang layaway plan. According to a family friend, Stevie flew Joseline and her entire family to the island so that the pair could earn their stripes. Apparently, producers of “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta” had everyone in attendance sign a confidentiality agreement so that details of the wedding wouldn’t be leaked to the public. However an insider had the following to say. “They wedding was nice, but there were cameras everywhere and it was staged,” added the source. At one point, producers reportedly had the minister hold off on the vows so that cameras could get a better view of Joseline. Expect a lot of drama to come from this latest piece of news.

Scott Atchison, who was activated from the disabled list this morning after spending a few weeks there, exited the Mets' game in Atlanta this evening after suffering an injury while warming up to pitch the seventh inning. Atchison's stint on the disabled list was the result of arm problems, including numbness in his fingers of his throwing hand, but he appeared to hurt his leg as he warmed up after Zack Wheeler's six-inning start. Before he hit the disabled list, Atchison threw 18.0 innings for the Mets with a 4.50 ERA and 4.11 FIP. His strikeout and walk rates were both 3.00 per nine innings in that span, both considerably worse than the numbers he put up with the Red Sox over the past three seasons. Sandy Alderson said this afternoon that the Mets would option Zack Wheeler back to the minors after his start, a technicality that would allow the team to carry an extra player until Wheeler's next start because of a loophole in Major League Baseball's collective bargaining agreement. It's hard to imagine that won't still be the case if Atchison goes back to the disabled list.

The Phillies and the Washington Nationals have more than Jayson Werth in common these days. The teams went into Tuesday night separated by one game in the standings. Both arrived at Citizens Bank Park more than a week's worth of games behind the first-place Atlanta Braves in the National League East. Both have dealt with a litany of injuries that have turned them into offensively challenged clubs.

Steve Gleason thanked his fans for support on Tuesday, one day after three former Atlanta radio hosts were fired for a skit in which they mocked the former New Orleans Saints' medical condition. More...
