Latest blog entries from Los Angeles teams across every league
A good all around win. Dylan Cease was effectively wild, as they say, the bullpen was terrific, and while the offence wasn’t explosive the did enough in key moments (very much out of character). Toronto loaded the bases with two outs in the first, on singles by Vladimir Guerrero jr. and Eloy Jimenez and a […]
The Houston Rockets will look to bounce back tonight against the Los Angeles Lakers. In Game 1, Houston was definitely off their game without Kevin Durant. The injury clearly happened late in the week and threw the Rockets off their game. It added immediate pressure to a series in which Houston is favored thanks to […]
Three fielding errors, a balk and a wild pitch by the Rockies — along with a shutdown performance from L.A.‘s reliever-turned-starter Justin Wrobleski — helped the Dodgers (16-6) defeat Colorado on Monday night and settle for a series split. Max Muncy hit two homers, making it four in the series, and Colorado fans will not […]
A dozen runs was more than enough with the way Justin Wrobleski pitched, but the Dodgers decided to err on the side of caution with one of their most complete offensive efforts of the year, running away with a 12-3 win in Colorado. It’s been an unusually productive early start to the season against left-handed […]
The Los Angeles Rams are once again operating with urgency—and at the center of it all is Matthew Stafford, whose future in Los Angeles appears increasingly secure. After months of speculation, recent reports indicate that the Rams and their veteran quarterback are closing in on a new contract extension, signaling that both sides remain fully […]
The first of three games at Angel Stadium. I figured it would be Angels Stadium. I was there a number of years ago and really enjoyed the park (which means we must have won). One of the games we sat in an area where they had waiters to bring us food and drink so we […]
Leon is back! The Edmonton Oilers are getting a massive boost to their lineup, as centre Leon Draisaitl will be returning for Game 1 of their first-round series against the Anaheim Ducks on Monday. LEON = ACTIVATED‼️ #LetsGoOilers pic.twitter.com/1vHIPPlMoN — Edmonton Oilers (@EdmontonOilers) April 20, 2026 Draisaitl had missed the final 14 games of the…
With Alex Call batting second, the Dodgers face José Quintana in Coors Field. Monday’s game info
The early-season struggles of Edwin Díaz reached its logical conclusion on Monday, with the Dodgers closer placed on the 15-day injured list ahead of the team’s series finale against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field in Denver. The team says Díaz has loose bodies in his right elbow, and will undergo arthroscopic surgery. Díaz’s surgery […]
CLEVELAND — Telling someone back in 2015 that a Cleveland Cavaliers head coach would compare his point guard, James Harden, to Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James would probably break their brain. We live in a weird world. The Cavs have been rolling offensively since adding Harden in February. The speed at which he processes […]
It’s difficult to make sense of the rumors flying around ahead of the NFL Draft’s opening round on Thursday night and the biggest one of all for the Rams: Are the Los Angeles Rams in the sweepstakes for Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson? This is a summary of the reports on Monday: One complication of LA’s […]
The Tampa Bay Lightning played in three consecutive Stanley Cup Finals in 2020-2022. The Florida Panthers followed that up with three appearances of their own in 2023-25 and the Edmonton Oilers’ quest for a third consecutive Stanley Cup Final appearance begins tonight against a young, fast, and inexperienced Anaheim Ducks club. The 82-game regular season…
With the Los Angeles Rams defensive interior coming off a stellar year and the whole group returning intact, identifying early round defensive tackles could be on the L.A. braintrust’s back burner. All but Kobie Turner are also contracted through 2027. Since the pairing of Les Snead and Sean McVay, the Rams have had success, particularly […]
So, will Leon Draisaitl or Jason Dickinson be in the Edmonton Oilers Game 1 lineup? We won’t know right until warmups. Lineups will be more closely guarded now that the playoffs have begun, as the Oilers face the Anaheim Ducks for the first time since 2016-17. “We’re not going to announce who’s playing and exactly…
One thing I can guarantee is that the Edmonton Oilers coaching staff will be prepared for their opponent. The same goes for Joel Quenneville and the Anaheim Ducks. They’ve likely been holed up in their offices since the moment the regular season ended, balancing their approach between tweaks made specifically for the matchup and improvements…
In an unusual road game on Monday that wraps up a four-game series, the Dodgers try to avoid a third straight defeat at the hands of the Colorado Rockies, twice done in by the bullpen late in games. They’ll do so against a familiar face in José Quintana, a starter they’ve bullied in the NLCS […]
NFL Draft weekend always brings a different kind of energy and for the Los Angeles Rams that buzz feels especially familiar this year. Under general manager Les Snead, the Rams have built a reputation for being one of the league’s most unpredictable—and aggressive—teams when the clock starts ticking. Whether it’s trading up for a targeted […]
Jimmy Garoppolo could choose to retire this year rather than return for a third season as the Rams backup quarterback, according to Ian Rapoport. If the Rams were dragging their heels to make a decision about the backup quarterback position because they had been assuming Garoppolo would re-sign, L.A. could be left scrambling for an […]
Puka Nacua checked into rehab earlier this year and his lawyer said at the time that he had no plans to leave until he was ready to go and Monday’s report that the star receiver is present at the Rams facility implies that he’s ready. Gary Klein of The LA Times reported on Monday that […]
For four years, the Edmonton Oilers have spent the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs navigating the Los Angeles Kings and their trap hockey. The Kings used their passive style to prevent clean entries and turn each series into a tight-checking slog. This year will be different. Edmonton’s first post-season opponent, the Anaheim Ducks,…
Going into his 19th playoff run, it’s remarkable that LeBron James is still capable of breaking records. And yet, on Saturday, the league’s greatest scorer and all-time leader in games played collected eight assists in the first quarter in the Lakers’ Game 1 win over the Rockets, a career high for any quarter of a […]
Playoff hockey is back. On Monday evening, the Edmonton Oilers started their postseason, the final team to do so, taking down the Anaheim Ducks in the final two minutes of the game in a 4-3 victory. Let’s take a look at what went on in this one. The first 17 minutes of the opening frame…
For the third time in franchise history, and the first time in nearly a decade, the Oilers and Ducks will meet in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The first meeting came during Edmonton’s run to the Stanley Cup Final in 2006. After taking down the Presidents’ Trophy-winning Red Wings in the first round and the Sharks…
If the Los Angeles Rams want to leave day one of the draft with a quarterback to develop behind Matthew Stafford, rarely do we ever have such a clear consensus of the single option on the board: Alabama’s Ty Simpson. After Fernando Mendoza goes first, the Simpson watch begins at 2 and possibly lasts all […]
He said on Friday he would go if asked and it looks like he'll be heading to Switzerland as per his head coach.
