On the brink of elimination, the Lakers went down swinging. LA overcame its second-half woes and took OKC all the way to the final minute before losing late, 115-110, as the Thunder completed the sweep. In the most hotly-contested game of the series, the two teams battled throughout the fourth quarter. The Lakers had the […]
As Roki Sasaki and Trevor McDonald took different paths to deliver extremely similar results—Sasaki navigating through far less traffic than McDonald—it was up to the bullpens to decide this game, and the Giants’ one proved superior on the evening, securing a 9-3 win to open up this four-game set at Dodger Stadium. Hanging splitters and […]

Yoshinobu Yamamoto takes the mound on Tuesday night for the Dodgers against the Giants, looking to avenge one of his two losses this season.

If Ryan Borucki strikes out Shohei Ohtani at any point in this upcoming Giants-Dodgers series, I’ll email “Ryan Borucki is as cold as the Bo-Rockies” with zero explanation to the department head at the middle school I work at.

It’s not breaking news when you hear that a major publication thinks the Los Angeles Rams will be very good again in 2026. After all, they were arguably the best team in the NFL for much of the 2025 season, and more than a few fans and analysts considered the NFC Championship Game to be […]

Colton Parayko didn't want to join the Buffalo Sabres, what about the Ottawa Senators. Reports have surfaced that both teams have been in contact to discuss the parameters of a Parayko trade, but as we know, his no-trade protection could be a big hurdle. Parayko, 32, is signed through the 2030 season at $6.5 million AAV, and holds a no-trade clause that doesn't go down to just 15 teams for two more summers. Bruce Garrioch: The Citizen reported that the Senators kicked tires on Colton Parayko; ...

Before I left for St. Louis and Houston, Eric Stephen posed a question that we as a staff had previously asked at the beginning of the season: How many games will the Dodgers win this season? At the conclusion of play on April 28th, the day of the follow-up question, the Dodgers dropped to 20-10 […]
The San Francisco Giants took two out of three from their longtime rivals just about three weeks ago and it was one of those things where the team, having embarrassed itself across multiple games and a couple weeks, walked away from the wins as a sign that they’d turned a corner. We’ve all been so […]
The Lakers’ pursuit of Giannis Antetokounmpo at the trade deadline this year was rather mundane. Without any real firepower to offer in a deal, they were quite far away from a competitive offer. LA was limited to just one first and a host of expiring salaries they could offer. Even if one of those included […]
In the first round, it was the Lakers who were up 3-0 over the Rockets, looking to complete a sweep. Now, in the second round, they are on the other side, looking to avoid going out in four games against the Thunder. So far, the odds don’t look so good. Not only have the Lakers […]
The Celtics joined the Lakers, Knicks, Cavaliers and Timberwolves in pursuing Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo before the NBA trade deadline in February, according to Shams Charania. ESPN also indicated that disappointing postseason finishes for some of those teams — Boston the only one eliminated already — could dictate pursuits this summer. The Bucks will listen […]
Another Monday, another post wondering when the Dodgers offense will find itself. After grinding out three runs in a win against Chris Sale, he who had only allowed that many in his last four starts combined, they only mustered exactly two runs in the last two games of the series with the Braves. Both runs […]
The Chargers needed to get better along the interior of the offensive line after a horrendous performance by the 2025 group. In response to Justin Herbert being sacked 54 times, they completely blew up the interior trio and signed/drafted a number of new faces. After signing new starting center Tyler Biadasz and right guard Cole […]
