Latest blog entries from Los Angeles teams across every league
After an uneven .500 road trip, the Dodgers return home to Chavez Ravine to welcome one of the best teams in MLB, the Atlanta Braves. The Braves are tied with the surging Chicago Cubs and the New York Yankees for the best record in baseball. The Dodgers offense, who has been hot and cold, will […]
The Cubs met up with an AL West team in their second series of 2026 and took two of three from an Angels club that has fallen into the basement in their division. This weekend they’ll visit another AL West team, the Rangers. For more on the Rangers, here’s Adam Morris, manager of our SB […]
Two games in four days in Oklahoma City have the Lakers quickly trailing 2-0 in the series, a daunting deficit, considering the opponent they are facing and the fact that history is not on their side. The team that wins the first two of a series advances 92% of the time. The purple and gold […]
When a team loses in blowout fashion like the Lakers did in Game 2 against the Thunder, there isn’t just one reason. There are plenty of things that didn’t go LA’s way in this contest. The Lakers had far too many turnovers with 21, multiple bench players didn’t give the team much, and Deandre Ayton […]
Happy Friday. The Jays are back home for a series against the Angels. It almost can’t be worse than the last series. I think the team has let Tropicana Field get into their heads. Maybe all the batters should move back in the batter’s box: Petriello talks about it here. There is talk about having […]
The Chargers are making fourth-round selection Travis Burke their first 2026 draft pick to sign their rookie contract. Per Sports Illustrated’s Justin Melo, Burke is signing his four-year, $5.5 million contract that includes a signing bonus of $1.1 million. Burke was squarely in the sights of the Bolts from seemingly early in the process. He […]
Every NFL draft season brings excitement, optimism, and one tradition that football fans cannot resist — rookie comparisons. From Hall of Fame projections to stylistic similarities, analysts and fans spend months searching for the perfect NFL counterpart for incoming prospects. The Los Angeles Rams grabbed five prospects in the 2026 draft and fans are dying […]
I definitely have much more negative feelings reserved for the feelings. I don’t really even have strong feelings, including negative feelings, for the Dodgers — but I know a lot of others do. So, let’s hear it.
Orion Kerkering was probably the biggest story from the end of the 2025 season. His gaffe that sealed the Phillies’ elimination at the hands of the Dodgers in the NLDS loomed like a specter over the entire offseason. But as we sit in May 2026, Kerkering has been in the background amid the team’s early […]
While the Dodgers offense experienced both highs and lows on their most previous road trip, the pitching mostly held up their end, with four starting pitchers tossing quality starts. The only scoreless performance the Dodgers got from their rotation came from Justin Wrobleski on Sunday, as he continues to prove himself as a viable big […]
In Thursday’s Brotherhood Playoff Action, Trajan Langdon’s Detroit Pistons took a 2-0 lead against Tyrese Proctor’s Cleveland Cavaliers, with a 107-97 win. Proctor got a DNP again. It’s not surprising for a rookie, but it must be frustrating for him. In the nightcap, Jared McCain’s Oklahoma City Thunder knocked off Luke Kennnard’s Los Angeles Lakers, […]
Before he became one the best two GMs in NBA history (along with Red Auerbach), Jerry West had a brilliant career with the Los Angeles Lakers. He was a lean 6-4 guard who punished his body constantly by driving to the lane against massive defenders. Do a search on his injuries sometime. His ankles and […]
The Lakers came into their series against the Thunder aware that fouls and officiating would be a talking point. Before the series even started, head coach JJ Redick made sarcastic comments about how little OKC fouls. There was no laughing at the final whistle of Thursday’s Game 2 loss, though. Following a night when LA […]
One of the things that separates good teams from great teams is depth. Look back to the 2020 Lakers. They had 10 realistic options they could turn to in the playoffs and all had moments. They could pull in an Alex Caruso for a Game 6 to seal the series, a move that made them […]
Winning on the road is tough, but beating the Thunder in OKC feels impossible. The Lakers did a lot right in their Game 2 loss. They got a much better offensive game from Austin Reaves, won the points-in-the-paint battle 52-46 and Rui Hachimura remained elite, scoring 16 points on 60% shooting. But the Thunder outscored […]
The Lakers once again saw a tight game turn into a double-digit loss on Thursday. LA held a lead midway through the third but again saw the Thunder pull away in the fourth to win by double digits, 125-107. The purple and gold had one of its best quarters of the postseason in the second, […]
It has been said that it is difficult to play down in Mexico and LAFC and Nashville found that out the hard way. Both MLS teams lost their games against Liga MX as they found it difficult to compete against teams when the playing field is even. Now Tigres and Toluca will face off against […]
People are getting it wrong on the Los Angeles Rams, Ty Simpson, and Matthew Stafford. Partly this is because LA’s selection of Simpson with the 13th overall selection in last month’s NFL Draft was unexpected and jarring to many fans of the team. But NFL history is littered with examples of franchises futureproofing football’s most […]
There is one certainty after the Los Angeles Rams’ 2026 NFL Draft: Ty Simpson is the future at quarterback. When exactly the future starts is entirely uncertain. Matthew Stafford is the face of the franchise for at least the upcoming season. Stafford could return in 2027 and even beyond. But the Rams must hold one […]

Rams fans can watch their team’s Week 1 game against the 49ers on the same service that brought them Squid Game and Love is Blind: Netflix. According to the AP, someone with knowledge of the scheduling has reported to them that Netflix will air L.A.’s week 1 matchup against San Francisco from Melbourne, Australia on […]
The NFL schedule release will take place sometime this month, and the Los Angeles Rams should be in primetime plenty this season. With the Rams established as a heavy Super Bowl favorite, they should be given the most primetime games in 2026. That shouldn’t be much to ask from the league, even if the defending […]
The Dodgers and Braves had a nice little October tradition going recently, having met in three playoff series in a four-year span. But the last four seasons they haven’t been able to recreate the matchup. This year, Atlanta owns the best record in baseball heading into this weekend’s matchup at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers beat […]
The Lakers’ offense has been struggling all postseason long, and Game 1 against the Thunder was no exception. Los Angeles failed to crack 100 points, losing on the road to OKC. In fact, in their last five playoff games, LA has only scored above the century mark once. Despite the inability to put the ball […]
