The Oklahoma City Comets, the Dodgers’ Triple-A affiliate, unveiled their initial roster on Thursday, with opening day set for Friday night in Oklahoma City against the Albuquerque Isotopes, a Rockies’ farm team. Among the 43 players on the Dodgers 40-man roster, 10 are on the injured list (three on the 60-day IL, which expands this […]
Recap of the game.
Sitting and feeling the vibe and energy of the Sweet 16 / Elite 8 at SAP Center in San Jose Thursday night; somehow this longtime Mountain West writer felt a bit detached. So detached watching Arizona run away with a powerful 109-88 win over Arkansas that the daydreamer side crept into full imagination mode at […]
HOUSTON – Facing KenPom’s No. 4-ranked defense, one that only gives up 62 points-per-game, Illinois simply had to want it more to come out victorious in an arena filled with Cougar red. It was clear that they did indeed want it more. The Illini walked into Houston and fought for a 65-55 win in a […]
Connor McDavid continues to hit milestones at a rapid pace. After recording his 400th goal and 1,200th point on Tuesday, the Edmonton Oilers captain completed the trifecta with his 800th assist during Thursday’s matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights. What A Shot Matt Savoie! 1-0 Oilers!
Happy Opening Day, Braves Country! During Thursday’s presser, Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss informed the media that Drake Baldwin would be in the Opening Day lineup, but not behind the dish. Instead, Baldwin will be in the DH role while Jonah Heim is behind the plate. It’s a pretty interesting way to roll things out. […]
I hate to be the “I told you so” guy (he said, lying), but this was my last line for the Minnesota preview. It all adds up to a crushing loss to an undermanned team on national television tonight. It’s the death knell for this iteration of the Houston Rockets. Again, that was before Houston […]
Apologies for the late thread, I went out to say hi to staffers John and Isabelle who are in attendance at the game tonight. Luke Raley hit that game-tying nuke just as I got up so maybe now that I’m sitting down again we can have another, this time a go-ahead one.
I want to start this recap by saying how grateful I am to be back for another season of Arizona Diamondbacks baseball with all of you. Today brought back all those familiar feelings from my childhood. Opening Day is always the best day of the year—a fresh wave of hope and optimism, the first sign […]
Watching tonight’s game between the New Jersey Devils and the Nashville Predators made something very clear to me: top-end talent matters a lot. This isn’t anything new, every hockey fan (or sports fan in general) knows this. But watching tonight’s contest made that sentiment crystal clear, as top-end talent was the difference in the Devils’ […]
©Colette Lewis 2026--Indian Wells CA--The temperature hit the century mark at the USTA Level 1 Easter Bowl Thursday, as three of the four top seeds claimed gold balls at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. No. 1 seed Chloe Anthony completed her straight-sets stroll to the title by defeating No. 4 seed Lindy Zhou 6-3, 6-3 to earn her first gold ball. Down 3-1 in the second set, Anthony took
In a sloppy, turnover-filled mess from start to finish, the Chicago Blackhawks fell 5-1 to the Philadelphia Flyers Thursday. The Flyers opened the scoring just 48 seconds into the game. Spencer Knight tried to play the puck to Artyom Levshunov, but Christian Dvorak hustled to intercept the pass and fed Alex Bump in front for an easy tap-in, giving the Flyers a 1-0 lead. Knight misplays it and the Flyers capitalize to open the scoring: pic.twitter.com/iiLIP7m9nm — BHF (@Blackhaw...
Every win is beautiful, epecially in the tournament. I have been staring at the flashing cursor for the last few minutes thinking about what I should write. The entire second half was about as intense of a basketball game as you can ask for, right to the very end. It was a game where Texas […]
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers offense proved too much to handle, putting up a pair of four-run innings to overwhelm the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-2 on Thursday night at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers have won 16 times in their last 19 opening days, including the last five in a row. Arizona starter Zac Gallen was cruising […]
The Portland Trail Blazers are starting to accumulate a decent roster full of young talent in preparation for making a serious run at playoffs contention in years to come. The staff at The Ringer have started to notice as well. Four Trail Blazers players broke into the Ringer Top 100 List this year, with one […]

Philip Larsen, 36, played just one season for the Oilers in 2013-14, scoring three goals and 12 points. He had joined the team in July 2013 in a trade from the Dallas Stars, with…

Good job, everyone. We technically got to 615 comments on the first thread before the first pitch was thrown in inning number two. Take that, Pinstripe Alley. Now on with more Opening Day!
The scoreboard said Iowa 77, Nebraska 71. The Nebraska Cornhuskers’ 2024 NCAA Tournament run is over, stopped in the Sweet 16 by an Iowa Hawkeyes team that simply didn’t go cold when Nebraska did. And if you’ve spent the hours since that final buzzer stewing about Iowa, about the officiating, about the 14-to-3 run that […]
The Iowa Hawkeyes (24-12) are heading to the Elite 8 after a 9-0 run with under 5:00 left to get their first lead of the game and keep it against the rival Nebraska Cornhuskers, winning 77-71. It’s the first time they’ve made the Elite 8 since the 1987 team in Tom Davis’ first season. They’re […]

The Basics First period: 0:48 – Alex Bump (Christian Dvorak), 2:33 – Sean Couturier (Luke Glendening) Second period: 5:14 – Denver Barkey (Trevor Zegras, Owen Tippett), 11:11 – Connor Bedard (Anton Frontell, Louis Crevier), 12:41 –...
The New York Islanders needed this one after an extremely disappointing game against the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday night. There was some bad blood between the Islanders and the Stars after Mikko Rantanen knocked out Alexander Romanov for the season the last time these two teams played, but with Rantanen dealing with an injury of […]
