2025 World Series, Dodgers vs Blue Jays — The Toronto Blue Jays trounced the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the 2025 World Series last night, plating NINE runs in the bottom of the sixth inning, alone. But tonight is another night, and the Dodgers have another ace, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, to send to the mound.
That said, the Blue Jays have a pretty good counter in Kevin Gausman, who has a 2.00 ERA through four postseason appearances already this October.
Offensively, the Dodgers did sc...
An explosion of runs led the Blue Jays to an early series lead. Will they extend that lead, or will the Dodgers strike back? Here’s an open thread for game 2.
For a moment in the second period, the Tampa Bay Lightning had shook off the shackles of their slow start and appeared to be on their way to a comfortable win against the Anaheim Ducks. Back-to-back milestone goals gave them a 3-1 lead and it seemed like they were headed to victory against a plucky Anaheim squad. The Ducks rocked the faith of the Lightning fans as they scored twice within a minute in the third period to tie things up. However, Anthony Cirelli, aka Tony Two Goals, lived up to h...

Winning a World Series title is hard, irrespective of how much better you might be than most, if not all of the competition.

If the Jaguars are open to trading Brian Thomas Jr., as has been alleged on Saturday, then the Los Angeles Rams are the usual suspects to make an offer that Jacksonville couldn’t refuse. The Rams need a player like Thomas to take the pressure off of Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, and they have often […]
The bye week seemed to come at just the right time for the Los Angeles Rams. Puka Nacua missed one game with an ankle injury and it’s within the realm of possibility that he returns in Week 9.

The script for how a particular game could go south for the Los Angeles Dodgers was followed to a tee in this blowout Blue Jays win to open the World Series.
