It was more of the same for Gian Piero Gasperini’s group yesterday in Sassuolo.

However, Roma’s penchant for missing chances was on full […]

The World Series shifts to Los Angeles today and I have to say: been a pretty good series thus far. Watching the Dodgers get their doors blown off is always fun, but I’m also one of those pitching duel aficionados that actually prefers those types of games to a 12-10 homer fest. I enjoyed Game […]
