Robert Lewandowski confirmed he was leaving Barcelona ahead of Sunday’s La Liga win over Real Betis at Camp Nou and enjoyed an emotional farewell after the game. The veteran’s team-mates have been quick to pay tribute to the 37-year-old and tell the world how he’s been a huge asset in the dressing room over the […]
With Kris Bubic out with some elbow discomfort, the Kansas City Royals turned to ye olde “bullpen game” against the Boston Red Sox. While the bullpen held for most of the game, the Royals offense stayed sleepy and the Red Sox eventually did their damage, beating the Royals in a 7-1 slog. Kansas City turned […]
Notre Dame kept its season alive with a 5-4 win over the Clemson Tigers in the first round of the ACC Tournament. Jayce Lee was an absolute villain against the Tigers with a 3-3 performance that included two doubles and a home run. The Irish will now take on Virginia Tech in the next round. […]
The Texas Rangers scored a girthy ten runs while the Colorado Rockies scored no runs at all. This one’ll do wonders for the ol’ Pythagorean W-L. Maybe last night’s loss was the kick in the butt moment the Rangers needed as they came out tonight and immediately scored a couple of runs before turning to […]
Jays 4 Yankees 5 I don’t know….. Dylan Cease was pitching great and the Jays got three runs in the fourth. All seemed good in the world. In that fourth: The long break seemed to affect Cease, he wasn’t great in the bottom of the fourth, giving up a couple of walks and a Ryan […]
The Virginia Tech Hokies added another valuable piece to their 2027 recruiting class on Wednesday, when three-star running back Javian Jones–Priest revealed his decision. Jones-Priest is the third running back to commit to Virginia Tech’s 2027 class, following Kelvin Morrison (Hermitage, PA) and Stanley Smart (Savannah, GA). The 5-foot-10, 194-pound Jones-Priest plays at Martin High […]
Just when you think the Cleveland Cavaliers have finally put things together, they find a new way to disappoint you. After pushing their lead to 22 points at the start of the fourth quarter, they collapsed over the final eight minutes, as they allowed the New York Knicks to close the fourth on a 30-8 […]
Joan Garcia has been talking about Barcelona’s Champions League hopes and how the team must improve if they are to finally land the European Cup once more. Hansi Flick’s side were knocked out in the quarter-finals this season by Atletico Madrid and Garcia says the team must find the right balance in European competition. “We […]
The Dallas Mavericks made a major shake-up on Tuesday night, agreeing to part ways with now former head coach Jason Kidd. That move truly closes the book on everything even tangentially related to the Luka Doncic trade and gives Cooper Flagg a truly fresh start after only his rookie year. Further, the move demonstrates that […]
Matthew Liberatore had another strong start, but another not strong ending as he pitched 4 solid innings, but he would not finish the 5th inning as the game got away from him. Fortunately, the Cardinals offense lead by JJ Wetherholt, Nolan Gorman, Alec Burleson and eventually Ivan Herrera picked him up beating the Pittsburgh Pirates […]
Box Score Jacob Misiorowski hasn’t allowed a run since April 25. The Miz extended his scoreless streak to four straight starts and 24 1/3 innings this evening, and this time the Brewers were able to hold the slim lead that he left the game with. A good thing, too, as the Brewers had plenty of […]
New Los Angeles Rams QB Ty Simpson was a college starter for a good time instead of a long time. Simpson was arguably the best signal caller in all of college football through the first nine weeks of last season before a late downturn that can reasonably be explained by a rash of injuries. His […]

This game got off to an inauspicious start with a leadoff home run by Taylor Ward, but this was otherwise yet another persistent team effort to lead to the club’s 32nd win of the season as well as their eighth consecutive series win. Ward’s homer was no cheapy as it was a no-doubter that would […]
Yesterday was such a nailbiter that even though tonight’s game was just about as close, the cadence of the evening felt very different — until it didn’t. Both teams reserved almost all their scoring for the middle innings, with an emphasis on a very stressful “almost.” The most charitable reading of the ninth inning would […]
The Mets were coming into the second game of the Nationals series on fire. Between a five game winning streak, back-to-back extra inning wins, and a ten run twelfth inning the night before, they were riding high. And their de facto ace and rookie sensation Nolan McLean was getting the start, which was a good […]
After bringing the team back to .500 with its 92-69 win over the Washington Mystics, Dallas begins a three-game road trip that starts with playing the Chicago Sky on Wednesday. Tipoff is at 8 p.m. at Wintrust Arena. Both Dallas and Chicago finished last season with a 10-34 record. Dallas made changes to its roster […]
Two rounds are finally done so it’s time to make your selections for round three. There are fewer teams to choose from now! I’m sorry, I do not have the results yet for round two but hope to have them soon and will post them when I have them. Here is a link to the […]
Zebby Matthews got off to a shaky start tonight, with a Jeremy Pena single and Isaac Paredes 2-run homer. However, after that, he settled into things and was able to go 6 innings, scattering 5 hits and striking out 6 along the way. All he needed was the Twins lineup to give him a modicum […]
There has been ample to lament about the Cincinnati Reds of late. They endured that brutal 8-game losing streak, one that featured record walk rates, bullpen meltdowns, and even a trio of consecutive walk-off defeats. They came back up for air briefly, but rode into Tuesday evening’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies once again on […]
One night after the Orioles lost to the Rays because their pitching staff imploded, they lost again to the Rays because their offense failed to show up. Gotta hand it to the O’s — they might always lose, but they’re always keeping it fresh! The O’s suffered a 4-1 defeat at Tropicana Field in game […]
Dodgers objectives in the second game in San Diego: (a) score at least once; (b) make sure the Padres don’t score as many. Tuesday game info
Postgame update: After the game, Warren Schaeffer provided an update. “Left side contusion on that diving play out there,” Schaeffer said. “We’ll know more tomorrow, but that was painful.” Colorado Rockies center fielder Brenton Doyle left today’s game against the Texas Rangers after making a spectacular diving attempt on a ball in the first inning, […]
The San Francisco Giants continue this three-game road series against the Arizona Diamondbacks tonight. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Landen Roupp, who enters tonight’s game with at 3.49 ERA, 2.68 FIP, with 58 strikeouts to 21 walks in 49 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants 5-2 loss to […]
The Mariners defeated the White Sox yesterday thanks largely to a strong performance from Bryan Woo and just enough offense against White Sox lefty starter Noah Schultz before Colt Emerson broke the game wide open, but they’ll face another challenge today with Anthony Kay on the mound. Last time these two teams faced off, the […]
There’s a Simpsons joke for every occasion. If the Phillies had tasted victory against Chase Burns, I would’ve had a great opportunity to break out one of my favorite quotes from the character with whom he shares a surname—“Honestly, Smithers, I don’t know why Harvard even bothers to show up— they barely even won!”. Except […]
