Past summaries: How did the Braves do recently? The Braves went 10-3 since we last checked in. No team did better; the Yankees and Cubs matched this pace from April 16 through the end of the month. That’s a 125-win pace over a full season, which is absurd… but that’s what the Braves managed. The […]
We’ve turned the calendar to May, which means it’s time for postseason lacrosse with semifinal day at the ACC Tournament from American Legion Memorial Stadium in Charlotte. The No. 3 seed Syracuse Orange are coming off a bad second half last weekend, and got beaten up in the regular season when they played today’s opponent, […]
Another week, another Baseball America staff draft to cover. Why not? I love the draft, probably because it was the only chance for hope for much of the Al Avila years; even now, with the Detroit Tigers in first place, I can’t shake the habit. So here we are yet again. A ‘Staff Draft’ is […]
For much of his professional career, Cade Cavalli was somewhat of a myth to Nationals fans. A 2020 1st round pick with loads of upside, blazing his way through the minor leagues with electrifying stuff. He got a taste of the bigs in 2022, but an elbow injury during 2023 Spring Training kept him out […]
Stubborn Newcastle manager Eddie Howe insists he expects to remain the head coach of the Magpies next season after his meeting with the club’s board and PIF on Thursday, despite mounting pressure after a disastrous season in Tyneside. The meeting with the Public Investment Fund arrived after a poor stretch that has left Newcastle 14th […]
If college football truly shifts to a full-scale Week 0 model for every FBS team, it would be one of the biggest structural changes since the College Football Playoff expansion. And like most NCAA decisions, the ripple effects would stretch far beyond simply kicking off a week earlier. College football leaders have discussed moving all […]
Over the last month, players for Arizona football were able to take steps forward in their development with spring ball. While some players sat out for recovery and health purposes, the mix of newcomers and young players got a chance to showcase their skills and football I.Q. The team gets a month off in May […]
Editor’s note: Everyone’s excited about the Commanders’ NFL Draft haul. Rightfully so. That doesn’t mean each selection will slot into a prominent role as a rookie. We’ll discuss realistic expectations for each player over the next few days, leading into Commanders rookie minicamp. In this installment, we evaluate the Clemson receiver getting a lot of love from the fan base: WR Antonio Williams, Clemson Selection: No. 71 overall Height/Weight: 5-foot-11.5/187 pounds What Adam […]
Most Knicks fans are younger than 65, meaning most have never seen this team win a championship. If you’re 40 or under, you missed Patrick Ewing. Any fan not yet old enough to vote wasn’t following Linsanity. But any Knick fan of any age who tuned in to last night’s rare bird of a Game […]
April offered an early snapshot of who the Royals are – for better and worse. Mostly worse. The Royals ended the month tied for the fourth-worst record in baseball. While they’re not an expensive flaming dumpster fire like the Mets, Phillies, or Red Sox, the start is a huge disappointment for a team that had […]
Another disappointing effort from the Celtics. Too much hero ball. Too little effort on defense and rebounds. Sixers fans are still awful. They really hate their own team almost more than they do the Celtics. Hopefully the Celtics wake up and come to play on Saturday. They are definitely the more talented team but are allowing the 76ers to play harder. All is not lost though. The 2008 team went to Game 7 in both of the first 2 rounds and st...
We are now in May, and we already looked at pitching highlights of April, so let’s shift the focus to the offense. Andy Pages got off to a scorching start, won National League player of the week, and during the month hit .321/.366/.518 with a 145 wRC+. He leads the team in hits (36) and […]
We kick off the final month of the season this weekend, leagues have just a handful of matches to play and there are still real implications to sort out including promotion, relegation, and tournament qualifications. There are also chances to impact the EPL title race and the possibility of head-to-head matchups in Germany and England. […]
As Detroit Lions fans continue to get to know the newest athletes to don the Honolulu bBlue, some analysts are already identifying potential standout rookies. In a recent article, NFL.com’s Gennaro Filice named Keith Abney II a sleeper for Detroit. The Arizona State cornerback was drafted in the fifth round this year at pick No. […]
Brian Cashman was ready for a change. A 36-year-old Robin Ventura was showing signs of wear, slashing just .251/.344/.392. On a star-studded Yankees roster, his spot at third base seemed the most plausible position to upgrade. It just so happened that the Reds were in the midst of a fire sale and were looking to […]
The hope the NFL Draft provides fans for an entire weekend can be euphoric, making us believe anything is possible. Then reality settles in. The picks made can only fill so many holes in the roster, and there are football games to be played around the corner. After being relatively active in the first wave […]
The Athletics are out to a better-than-expected start as they sit atop the division with a 17-14 record and a one-and-a-half game lead over the Seattle Mariners. It’s only the first month of the season but April went about as good as you could hope for the A’s as they have the third-best record in […]
It seems that Mo Salah has joined the ever-growing injury list for Liverpool, and Sunday’s game likely comes a bit too soon for Alisson as well. Speaking to the press, Arne Slot outlined the challenges: “For us it’s a bonus every player that comes back because now if you add Mo [Salah] to the injury […]
Brandon Ingram has been downgraded to doubtful ahead of Game 6 between the Toronto Raptors and the Cleveland Cavaliers, according to Sportsnet’s Michael Grange. The forward has reportedly been dealing with heel inflammation since March 23, during which he missed the 143-127 win over the Utah Jazz. It was the second game of a back-to-back. […]

Not one, but two games on Monday night for the next round of the English Premier League.

City manager Pep Guardiola gave an update on the trio […]

The Big 10 Tournament takes place starting next week, but before that can happen, there’s the matter of the 24-game Big 10 regular season title. The Cornhuskers find themselves in the position of being able to wrap that up at Penn State this weekend, while Oregon and UCLA, the only two teams with a mathematical […]
