The Colorado Avalanche wrapped up their last back-to-back of the regular season today as they took on the Calgary Flames. Ultimately, the Avs would win this one by a final score of 3-1, and close out their final back-to-back of the year with two wins in a sweep of Alberta. Let’s look back at the […]

It might not have been the perfect performance he hoped for, but Noah Schultz pushed through a rough first frame of his major league debut to finish his 4 1/3-inning outing strongly, despite the White Sox (6 -11) dropping the first game of the series to the Rays (9-7), 8-5. Schultz needed 33 pitches to […]
Box Score The Milwaukee Brewers were in dire need of a win on Tuesday night to end a five-game losing streak, and the reincarnated Home Run Race of 1998 has hit the Brewers with Jake Bauers and Gary Sánchez continuing to go tit-for-tat in their bid to be the Crew’s home run leader. It started […]
Kenley Jansen needed little introduction when the Detroit Tigers signed the 38-year-old closer to a free agent deal back in December. He’s one of the truly great relievers in the game’s long history. The one year, $9 million deal was a pretty reasonably price for an all-time great even on the downside of his career. […]
The Colorado Rockies rolled into Daikin Park hoping to end a four-game losing streak by winning their fourth consecutive game against the Houston Astros in two weeks. While they chipped away at an Astros lead amassed in the third inning, the Rockies could never quite get there, losing the series opener 7-6. Innings 1-3: The […]
Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 3, Charlotte Knights 0’Twas the series opener against the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, not a run was scored — hardly any hits! Charlotte’s lackadaisical stat line tells the whole story. Three hits, three RBIs, and a whopping 13 strikeouts sprinkled throughout the lineup. Somehow, Jarred Kelenic, who’s barely hanging onto his professional career, […]
Come on, man. The greedy, points-munching, perennially-falling-just-short Carolina Hurricanes couldn’t even concede us a little fun in a meaningless season finale. And the April walking ghost New York Islanders couldn’t even give us something frivolous to celebrate in the same. Sound Beach native (and feel-good story, to be honest) Brandon Bussi was stingy in making […]
The Carolina Hurricanes closed out their season with a 2-1 win over the New York Islanders on Tuesday night at USB Arena. After clinching the Eastern Conference title by earning a point in Philadelphia last night for the first time in franchise history, they finished with 113 points which is good enough for second place […]
Big Blue Nation is on the edge of their seats waiting to hear announcements from Tyran Stokes and Robert Wright III. Banners are being hung up on campus, websites, including ours, are being refreshed, and notifications are turned on in hopes of a big announcement… or two. Or three? Maybe, because Donnie Freeman is another […]
The Portland Trail Blazers and Phoenix Suns are battling for a place in the NBA Playoffs tonight. The first half of the game has completed. The second half is on the way! You can talk about the action with your fellow fans right here. For those who aren’t sure what’s at stake, here’s how it […]
Well that was dramatic. Two teams in deep skids early in what were supposed to be their years. Whoever lost was going to have serious questions about their season, while whoever won would have to wonder if this represented turning the corner. It was about as dramatic a game as it gets, too, with multiple […]
The Miami Heat were good, just not good enough to keep their season alive. In what was a sloppy, chaotic start that turned into perhaps one of the best play-in games we’ll ever see, the Heat came up a hair shy in overtime to the Charlotte Hornets inside Spectrum Center, 127-126. LaMelo Ball gave the […]
The post Heat lose overtime thriller to Hornets in play-in, 127-126 appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
After committing a blunder on the previous possession, LaMelo Ball more than made up for it by converting a leaning lay-in with seconds to go, and Miles Bridges swatted away Davion Mitchell’s floater at the other end. The unbelievable game-winning sequence came after Tyler Herro executed a personal 6-0 run in the waning seconds to […]
Well, so much for Magoon Gwath. Despite drawing interest from the Kentucky Wildcats and planning a visit to Lexington sometime this week, Gwath has opted instead to commit to DePaul. News broke on Tuesday that the San Diego State center was set to visit Kentucky, but with this development, one has to think the Wildcats’ […]
The Rays took the first game of this series against the White Sox, with Shane McClanahan picking up his first win in well over a year while his teammates gathered twelve hits and six walks. Every player was on base at least once. This game received national attention because of the White Sox starter: Noah […]
Tuesday night’s game at Busch Stadium was a parade of solo home runs for both the St. Louis Cardinals and the Cleveland Guardians. JJ Wetherholt homered twice and made some epic plays in the field as the Cardinals showed their come-from-behind heart yet again to walk off the Guardians in extra innings. Michael McGreevy gave […]
Looking to get back in the win column and the fact that the rival Creighton Bluejays were coming to town provided all of the motivation Nebraska needed in the second game of their three-game season series at Haymarket Park. Pryce Bender got the start against the boys from Omaha, but his night ended up being […]
It was tenuous and I was convinced the Pirates were going to win until that Nick Yorke pop up landed in Curtis Mead’s glove, but the Nats got the job done. They just barely made their early 5-1 lead stick thanks to some solid work by the bullpen. Tonight, the bullpen and CJ Abrams were […]
The Twins struck first in this game with a Luke Keaschall single scoring Byron Buxton from 2nd. There was a tag play at the plate and he was initially called out but replay overturned it, putting the Twins up 1-0. In the 3rd, Buxton would make it 2-0 with a solo shot to left. In […]
After giving the media a chance to speak to head coach Greg Schiano, offensive coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca, and defensive coordinator Travis Johansen, the program has started the press conferences where members of the media can ask questions to position coaches. This time, it was Studs Coach Charlie Noonan’s turn at the podium, having the chance […]
Monday night was a kind of heavyweight prize fight, with each team trading blow after blow after big home run. Tonight was much more like a heavyweight prize fighter fighting me, with the Angels playing the former role and battering the Yankees all over their home ballpark. LA took off almost immediately, hitting the same […]
As the Eagles prepare for the NFL Draft, general manager Howie Roseman spoke to reporters about their approach to roster building on Tuesday. Among the many questions asked during the 27 minute press conference was one about their starting quarterback. Specifically, Roseman was asked about the recent report out of ESPN suggesting this is a […]
