Cam Schlittler made a one-run lead feel enormous on Thursday night. The Yankees right-hander gave the Phillies nothing to chase, […]
It is tempting to grumble about how this game was such a microcosm of the Yankee season. The starter was phenomenal, truly elite stuff, and the offense had three hitters that looked like they belonged in the majors. I’m gonna choose the optimism; Cam Schlittler is the best pitcher in the American League and he […]

Philadelphia has been the center of the sports world this summer, and the 76ers signing LeBron James on Friday put an exclamation mark on that. The City of Brotherly Love has once again landed a top free agent. It all started in 2019 when the Phillies signed Bryce Harper, the Eagles then dipped into the free agency pool to steal Saquon Barkley from the Giants in 2024, and now LeBron will call Philadelphia home for the next two seasons.
