Today’s roster move: Here Sunday notes… Cubs lineup: Diamondbacks lineup: Matthew Boyd, LHP vs. Merrill Kelly, RHP Matthew Boyd’s numbers aren’t good (7.00 ERA, 1.444 WHIP) but I can’t help thinking he’s pitched better than that record. For one thing, in his two bad starts a run scored in each after he left the game. […]
This was the first season for the Edmonton Oilers under coach Kris Knoblauch that they didn’t go to the Stanley Cup Final. But a first-round playoff loss, considering the team’s expectations, and their inconsistent play all season, has many wondering whether Knoblauch will get another opportunity.

During my tenure at Pinstripe Alley—hell, during my entire time as a baseball fan—I’ve never been shy about delving into the team’s history and exploring the lives of its long roll call of players, both incredible and regrettable. We provide plenty of other coverage on the current-day activities of the teams, so I like having […]
Could it get any better? I bet it couldn’t. New York Knicks. Philadelphia Numbers. Bring it on. Mike Brown On the Game 6 scuffle and his glasses: “When I got in the middle of it, [those thoughts] all went out the window for some reason. And the only thing I could think of was [the […]

Columbus Clippers 5, Toledo Mud Hens 3 (box) Zach McKinstry hit a home run in his Triple-A debut on Saturday, but Toledo’s offense didn’t do much else in a 5-3 loss to Columbus. McKinstry hit his bomb in the fourth with Max Burt on base. It was the only extra-base hit of the day, but […]
Last season, the Los Angeles Rams made expansive use of two and three tight end formations. By drafting Max Klare in Round 2 and signing two promising tight ends from the undrafted ranks, Dan Villari and Rohan Jones, it appears as if these multi-tight end sets are the plan of attack going forward. As the […]
The first thing to understand about the Ohio State Buckeyes 2026 secondary is that the conversation is being framed against an almost unreasonable benchmark. Last season’s Buckeyes did not simply field a good pass defense, they fielded one of the best defenses in recent college football memory, finishing the year allowing just 9.3 points per […]
Oof. I need a minute to unfold myself and get some air back in my bruised lungs. That one hurt. I think the reason it hurt so much is because it was so unexpected. I predicted a sweep for the Celtics. I dismissed the Sixers as first round fodder. I did not expect MVP Joel […]
Tuesday, May 5th TrillerTV+, 10:00 pm ET, CountryBox: Where Music Meets Boxing. From the Plaza Mariachi in Nashville, Tennessee.

It's Game 7 for the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday night, and both teams are hoping to have all hands on deck, if at all possible. For the Habs, top-pairing defenseman Noah Dobson hasn't played in the entire first-round series, recovering from an injury to his thumb suffered while blocking a shot on April 11th. But a significant development on Sunday morning as Dobson took warmup with the team, and head coach Martin St. Louis says he is "confident" that the blueline...
We’re back. The New York Liberty opened the preseason on April 25 against the Indiana Fever. They lost 109-91, but put some good tape together that they can build on.

Thanks to the bullpen’s efforts, the RailRiders have nine wins in games where they were trailing at […]
It didn’t take long for Chelsea Women to start dominating Leicester City at their home turf. This is after all a team that recorded only nine points in 20 Women’s Super League matches before today, and the way in which we took over the pitch showed why. They did try to put up some resistance […]

Jonas Brodin’s injury is a real problem for the Minnesota Wild. They will be without one of the league's most reliable shutdown defensemen at exactly the wrong time.
