Milwaukee Brewers at Los Angeles Dodges/Toronto Blue Jays Seattle Mariners – A LCS Game thread for October 16, 2025
The Spurs are doing some housekeeping before the season starts. On Thursday, they picked up the third-year team option on Stephon Castle’s contract and the fourth-year team option on Victor Wembanyama’s contract, securing the services of two of their best players for the 2026-27 season. In the recent past, San Antonio faced some tough decisions […]
It's hard to emphasize just how weird this feels to type: The Minnesota Wild have the best power play in the NHL.
If that's ever been true before, it's never been for long. Since the Wild's inception in 2000-01, their power play percentage has been 18.0%, 24th of 32 teams. (I refuse to split up...
It’s a two-game day! First up are the Dodgers and Brewers coming to you from Los Angeles. The Dodgers lead the series 2-0 after winning both games in Milwaukee. That’s not the way to get to your first World Series since 1982, Brewers. The nightcap will be the Mariners and Blue Jays in game four […]
The road domination continued with the Blue Jays demolition of the Mariners in Seattle, meaning away teams are 5-0 in the Championship Series so far.

The Heat are a world away from the team that made the NBA Finals just three seasons ago. Their 2025 was defined by disappointment and reality, as they came to terms with the fact that Jimmy Butler no longer was the engine that could drive them to playoff success. Last year was the first season […]
It’s a quick trip to middle America for the Colorado Avalanche for a showdown with the Columbus Blue Jackets, who are in search of their first victory on home ice during this 2025-26 campaign. The Avalanche, on the other hand, have gotten off to a blazing start this season, collecting at least a point in […]
A 10 PM Eastern start?! In this economy?! Yes, it’ll be the Bruins vs. the Golden Knights, far, far past my bedtime as the B’s begin a three-game trip through the western United States. While we’ve all been impressed by the Bruins’ spirited start to the season, including the fight back-ability (just go with it, […]
All things considered, it was a solid year for the Yankees even if it didn’t live up to the perennial World-Series-or-bust expectations of their fans. Despite Gerrit Cole not throwing a single pitch for the team this year and Juan Soto signing elsewhere last winter, they managed to win 94 games thanks to a few…
Today, the championship series for both the AL and the NL continue as four teams continue the fight for a World Series appearance. The Dodgers will look to continue their sweep of the Brewers to return to the World Series yet again, and the Blue Jays look to even the series tonight against the Mariners […]

Letters… we get letters… we get stacks and stacks of letters… Question from Ofermod: How much of the poor performance was due to just not being truly ready/comfortable with a high-visiblity game in a high-pressure environment with high expectations, and how much of it was actual issues that need to be adddressed? And does this […]

Initially, the team’s game planning coordinator, he later added catching coach to his duties. When the Red Sox hired…

Earlier this year, Turki Alalshikh vowed that all Riyadh Season and The Ring shows after Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte would be “free to DAZN subscribers,” starting with David Benavidez vs Anthony Yarde on November 22nd. Turns out he just straight-up lied, as DAZN has officially listed the event as a $59.99 US/£24.99 UK PPV. […]
Brooklyn Nets Head Coach Jordi Fernández spoke with reporters over Zoom on Thursday afternoon, as his well-traveled team hasn’t had quite enough rest since returning from Macau to hold an official practice just yet. “You guys were not as aggressive on Zoom, by the way.
