Latest blog entries from Los Angeles teams across every league
The Mavericks played in their preseason finale late Wednesday night in Las Vegas against the Los Angeles Lakers, marking the final game for the Mavs this preseason. The Mavericks, led by Anthony Davis and Cooper Flagg playing point guard, ended up cruising past the Lakers, 121-94 in what Jason Kidd called “full dress rehearsal” pre-game. […]
The Seattle Mariners have never won more than two games in an ALCS. They lost both the 1995 and 2000 ALCS in six games. If they win Game 3 tonight, it will be the farthest the 49-year-old franchise has ever gotten in the postseason. Also : No team has ever won an LCS (best-of-5 or best-of-7) after losing the first two games at home. We will see if the Blue Jays and/or Brewers can pull it off. While Shohei Ohtani (1-for-7) and Mookie Betts (0-for-7) have been quiet atop Los Angeles' lineup (the...
The North Carolina State Fair opens up their gates on Thursday, Billie Eilish will take up residency in Lenovo Center for two nights, and thus the Carolina Hurricanes will continue their extended absence from Raleigh by facing off against the Anaheim Ducks. The game will face off from the Honda Center at 10 PM Eastern […]
It’s not rocket science to see why the Dodgers and Mariners are on a collision course to face off in the World Series. Not that the Brewers or Blue Jays have thrown in the towel yet, but both find themselves behind the proverbial eight ball going into game 3. Hitting is important and defense is […]
Dodger pitching has utterly dominated a Brewer offense that has looked jumpy, unprepared, and not ready for the big moment in the first two games of the National League Championship Series. If Milwaukee is going to get this series back to Milwaukee, that offense will need to find itself in a hurry. But let’s put […]
The Detroit Tigers were eliminated from the postseason just five days ago, but MLB news piles up quickly in October. There’s enough to fill a weeks worth of posts. While the Brewers-Dodgers and the Mariners-Blue Jays continue to battle it out for trips to the World Series, let’s run through some of the biggest news […]
Box Score For a brief moment, it felt like things were going to go the Brewers’ way on Tuesday night in Milwaukee. Milwaukee had their ace, Freddy Peralta, on the mound, and he put up a zero in the top of the first against the high-powered Dodger offense. In the bottom of the inning, Los […]
The Dodgers, of course, dodged disaster with the back end of their bullpen, navigating a nervous ninth to strand the tying run on third for the Brewers. Today, we’ll see if Milwaukee can claw their way back, or if the weird lack of home-field advantage which 1AZfan1 noted in today’s Bytes. It’s quite the change […]
Last night’s Game 1 between the reigning champion Los Angeles Dodgers and the Milwaukee Brewers was a light-scoring affair but still had plenty of drama throughout the night. From the pitching duel we had early on, to future Hall of Famer Freddie Freeman hitting a solo homer in the sixth to break the tie and […]
What should have been a feeding frenzy against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6 turned into another embarrassing loss by the Miami Dolphins.
The Ravens’ rookies played the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday in what might have been their second-best defensive performance of the season. The two rookies on special teams probably had the best days of the entire class. Malaki Starks Starks has taken a lot of heat this season, and rightfully so: the first-round pick hasn’t […]
When Marco Rossi scored a goal to put the Minnesota Wild ahead 1-0 in the fourth round of the shootout, all eyes went back to the other end of the ice. How would Jesper Wallstedt -- who'd already turned away Adrian Kempe, Trevor Moore, and Kevin Fiala -- hold up in a huge-pressure situation? If...
That's Wild The Minnesota Wild are back to their winning ways. After dominating the St. Louis Blues and following up that season-opening win with a floundering loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Wild were able to survive a late-game comeback against the Los Angeles Kings on Monday night...
League Championship baseball dominates the sports landscape this fine Monday, as it’s definitely the only major professional sport in North America with two feature games on the docket. Trust me! The Seattle Mariners will look to take a commanding 2-0 series lead over the Toronto Blue Jays first, as those two clubs are set to […]
A look at the winners and losers from the Miami Dolphins' Week 6 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers to fall to 1-5.
This is not a thoughtful and incisive overview of the ALCS and NLCS. I was looking up some things yesterday and figured I'd share them rather than not. First of all, I was extremely pleased to watch the Blue Jays hardly break a sweat while humiliating the Yankees. But then I thought . . . shit, the Blue Jays are now really close to going to the World Series. . . . which means they could actually win the World Series. . . . But then I thought, I no longer live outside To...
When the Miami Dolphins needed Tua Tagovailoa to step up and take over in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Chargers, he failed (again).
There are many different things to write about in the World of Baseballs, or, in bigger terms, the World of Sports. There’s the fact that the boring mega-payroll Dodgers just ousted the fun, also mega-payroll Phillies from the playoffs. (Ben has you covered.) Personally, I think the entire playoff structure is wack, and it should […]
Miami Dolphins edge rusher Jaelan Phillips could dominate a depleted Los Angeles Chargers O-line, exploiting backup tackles to pressure QB Justin Herbert.
The Winnipeg Jets ( 0-1-0 ) will be looking for their first win on the season when the Los Angeles Kings ( 1-1-0 ) visit the Canada Life Centre on Saturday afternoon. On a day where all 32 National Hockey League franchises are in action, our club will get the opportunity to kick off the day’s first match. The Jets clearly missed defensive stalwart Dylan Samberg in the opener, as they allowed the Dallas Stars so many scoring chances in the opening match. Despite that fact, coaches Scott Ar...
The Miami Dolphins' pass rush has been almost nonexistent in the 2025 season, but key injuries to the Chargers' OL could give them the advantage.
Welcome to Phillies Town, Twinkie Town’s Philadelphia Phillies playoff coverage because I like watching Jhoan Duran play baseball and don’t handle change well. Let’s go Phillies! While I didn’t anticipate this going into this feckless experiment, it turns out that rooting for the Phillies was fairly similar to rooting for the Twins. Maybe there’s some […]
Welcome to Phillies Town, Twinkie Town’s Philadelphia Phillies playoff coverage because I like watching Jhoan Duran play baseball and don’t handle change well. Let’s go Phillies! After saving all their runs for late in game two, it appears our beloved Phillies were really saving all their runs for late in the series. With their backs […]

Alex Call was the last domino to fall - over to the Dodgers for a couple arms. As noted before Call was actually turning out to be good but if there was one place the Nats didn't have space for a player like Call it was OF where they want to play Wood and Crews and cycle through whoever else they want to look at. Keeping a 4th OF is a luxury on a team like that. Sean Paul Liñan was a solid looking arm for High A that the Dodgers pushed to AAA to see if they had somethi...
