Player Grades: Lakers vs. Thunder

In the playoffs, rotations shrink, but perhaps Lakers head coach JJ Redick will have to open his up a bit. The Lakers had only eight players who logged at least 10 minutes and with so many subpar performances, someone else needed to be called upon. The Thunder had 10 players play more than 10 minutes […]

Another shutout

For a Major League leading seventh time, the San Francisco Giants have been shutout, 22% of the 32 games played in the 2026 season.  To put this dismal display in perspective, the 2019 Miami Marlins were shutout 22 times, the most in the Wild Card Era, which is roughly 14% of the 162 games in […]

Anonymous NFL execs reportedly weigh in on Colts 2026 NFL Draft class

According to The Athletic’s Mike Sando, anonymous NFL executives recently weighed in on the Indianapolis Colts 2026 draft class, which even without a first round pick, saw the Horseshoe potentially land two immediate defensive starters on ‘Day 2’: “They would not have gotten a Sauce Gardner picking where they were going to pick, whether that […]

Canadiens vs. Lightning Top Six Minutes: The series gets pushed to Game 7

First period Two early icings by the Lightning and they’re already diving trying to draw a call on the race to the puck. I expect that to be a theme of this game. A very nice cycling shift for the usual top line of Juraj Slafkovskš, Nick Suzuki, and Cole Caufield to create a scoring chance. Darren Raddysh wins up a slapshot that hits Jakub Dobeš in the mask, but it falls right into his pads where he can freeze it. Dobeš gives the puck away behind the net, but Yanni Gourde...

Yankees beat Orioles with ease on Friday behind Ben Rice, Will Warren

Spearheaded by a fantastic effort from Will Warren, the Yankees took early command of their first regular-season matchup against the Orioles in 2026, ultimately winning it 7-2. Specifically on Warren, seeing the front-level starters dominating is all well and good, but the built-in expectations may work against the excitement of it in certain instances. Although […]

After a road trip full of late heartbreaks and near-misses, it was time for a little home-cookin’ with a three-game weekend series on tap with the Texas Rangers. Well, the near-misses and heartbreak didn’t stop tonight, as a comeback ended up all for naught with a 5-4 loss on Friday night. Jack Flaherty, who has […]

Arizona baseball drops series opener at Big 12 leader Kansas

Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, not in losses. Arizona lost 4-2 at Big 12 leader Kansas on Friday night to open a weekend series, dropping to 6-12 this season in games decided by two or fewer runs. That includes the last two contests during what’s now a 4-game losing streak. The Wildcats […]

16-16 – Rangers welcome May with runs in 5-4 win over Tigers

The Texas Rangers scored five runs while the Detroit Tigers scored four runs. The Rangers escaped the dank, musty confines of The Shed and immediately started scoring some runs. That included a real first inning, lead-grabbing unicorn with Josh Jung plating the game’s first tally with a two-out RBI single to show that his torrid […]

Mizzou WBB brings in transfer Tanyuel Welch

After a dormant period, Kellie Harper is making noise in the portal again with the addition of Arizona guard Tanyuel Welch. This is Mizzou’s third transfer portal grab this offseason, all of which have come from fellow power programs. Welch transferred to Arizona from Memphis this past season.

Few Upsets in First Round of NCAA D-I Championships; ELC Rolls Out for All USTA Pro Circuit Hard Court Events This Summer; Hance Reaches M15 Orange Park Semifinals; Lee and Ayrault Claim ITF J200 Titles in Sumter SC

The first day of the Division I NCAA Team Championships produced several minor upsets, with No. 3 seeds beating No. 2 seeds and a few 4-3 battles, but the host, the No. 1 seeds in their regionals cruised through their first round matches. The only exception was the San Diego men, who are hosting the consensus choice for the toughest field in the regionals. The No. 15 seeds defeated No. 4 seed

Game Thread: White Sox (14-17) at Padres (19-11)

Welcome to Noah Schultz Night! And quite a late night it is, with the White Sox back on the West Coast, taking on the high-flying Padres. Basically beyond his first inning in the major leagues, Schultz has been spectacular, certainly better than advertised for a 22-year-old whose 2025 wasn’t terribly impressive/marred by injury. A new […]

Game thread XXXII – Royals at Mariners

The Royals obviously had a very rough month of April, finishing 12-19. They’re still only 3.5 games back of their division leader, though, so if April showers bring May Flowers and the Royals’ talent that many expected would carry them to a competitive season started blossoming, now would be a great time for that to […]
