There is a new No. 1 team in our weekly MLB power rankings for the first time in eight weeks after the Atlanta Braves went 1-4 against the Chicago White Sox and New York Mets last week.
Toronto Maple Leafs fans on social media rejoiced as Mitch Marner and the Vegas Golden Knights were defeated by the Carolina Hurricanes in the Stanley Cup Final.
Logan Shaw scored in overtime on Sunday night to give the Toronto Marlies a 5-4 victory over the Chicago Wolves, and a 2-0 series lead in the AHL’s Calder Cup Finals. Shaw poked home a Vinni Lettieri centring attempt for his second goal of the game, and ninth of the postseason. Chicago rallied from 3-2…
A strong weekend in Toronto left the Yankees back where they want to be, alone in first place in the AL East, and with the best record in the American League for good measure. Despite falling behind the Rays by as many as five games last month, New York has surged to put themselves back […]

The Knicks answered pent-up dreams of half a century, and the World Cup is off to an entertaining start for its 5 billion or so followers, but you can’t sleep on the drama of North Carolina and Las Vegas facing off for the Stanley Cup. Expansion and relocation and sunbelt and other jokes aside, a […]
Hall had been around the block, and it took him a long time to finally reach the top of the mountain.
Toronto Marlies head coach John Gruden discusses his team’s 5-4 overtime win over the Chicago Wolves in Game 2 of the Calder Cup Final. On the team overcoming a slow start: Obviously, on the first two shifts, they came out ready to go. It is not like we weren’t ready; it’s just a team with […]

The Lakers are still trying to find the right balance of players to put around star Luka Doncic, and they have an important offseason ahead of them, with Austin Reaves and LeBron James both on track unrestricted free agency. Signs seem to be pointing to the Lakers retaining Reaves, according to Marc Stein of the […]
Logan Shaw’s goal 3:46 into overtime gave the Toronto Marlies a 5-4 win over the Chicago Wolves in Game 2 of the Calder Cup Finals on Sunday afternoon at Allstate Arena.
Yankees 8 Blue Jays 3 This one had everything, other than a Jays’ win, of course. John Schneider got ejected. It kind of pissed me off, because the Yankees José Caballero complained for a long time about a pitch clock thing (I guess) and the umpire let him complain and complain. John comes out on […]
The New York Yankees continue to get strong production from slugger Ben Rice. Rice hit a massive two-run homer on Sunday to help his Yankees take the lead, in the ninth inning of a game against the Toronto Blue Jays. BEN RICE SMASHES A 2-RUN HOMER TO GIVE THE YANKEES THE LEAD IN THE 9TH […]

Yesterday we had a classic pitchers’ duel that was ultimately settled by a big two-run home run in the ninth for a Yankee victory. I wouldn’t exactly call today a pitchers’ duel — Patrick Corbin went 3.2 innings and Will Warren managed just one more out than that — but the end result was the […]
The Toronto Maple Leafs team of the early 2000s was one of the most beloved by Leafs Nation. With names like Mats Sundin, Gary Roberts, Darcy Tucker, Bryan McCabe, Alexander…
Jazz Chisholm Jr. just cannot seem to figure out MLB’s new ABS system. During Saturday’s 3-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays, the Yankees’ second baseman made another blunder at the plate. This led the team’s broadcasters to absolutely let him have it. “Why would you challenge that? It makes no sense. It was 3-1, […]

The New York Yankees have been playing some improved baseball of late, winners of five out of their last six games ahead of Sunday’s series finale against the Toronto Blue Jays. The Yankees have been trying to hold down the fort in the injury absence of Aaron Judge, who has been out of the lineup […]

If momentum is a real thing, the Yankees should have a lot of it on their side today after stealing a win behind Paul Goldschmidt’s ninth-inning dinger. Of course, momentum is also only as good as the next day’s starting pitcher, but at least on paper the Yankees seem to have the edge in Sunday’s […]
Friday brought another getting-to-know-you night for the Toronto Marlies. They have had a lot of those this spring – but so have their opponents.
There isn’t much for Blue Jays news today. Vladimir Guerrero (back) and Andrés Giménez (wrist) both are out of the lineup today. The team isn’t saying how long either will be out. Bob Nightingale says that ‘teams’ expect Bo Bichette to opt out of his contract with the Mets after this season. I’m finding it […]

The 2026 NHL Draft is fast approaching, and the Toronto Maple Leafs have plenty of things that need to be done in the lead-up to them making the first overall pick. They obviously have to figure out who their next coach will be and change the roster to give them a chance at returning to…
One Yankee rival lost early on Saturday as the Yanks took down the Blue Jays 3-1, with Paul Goldschmidt providing a clutch game-winning, two-run bomb in the ninth. Goldy’s heroics meant that Cam Schlittler’s start, wherein he held the Jays down outside of a Kazuma Okamoto solo home run, didn’t go to waste. All told, […]
Breathe easy Leafs Nation, Auston Matthews isn't going anywhere. After months of speculation brewed about the future of the Maple Leafs' captain, he has told general manager John Chayka that he's all in moving forward, and is aligned with Chayka's offseason, and long-term direction of the team. Whether he signs another contract extension next summer remains unknown at this time, but Matthews won't be traded this summer. The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun commented recently on Matthews' future, and h...
