Schadenfreude 362 (A Continuing Series)
Since May 29, the MFY have the worst record in the AL East: 13-19. Blue Jays 21 10 Rays 19 12 Orioles 18 13 Red Sox 16 14 Yankees 13 19 They were just swept by the now-in-first-place Blue Jays, who scored 36 runs in the four games. Toronto has not been in first place this "late" in a season since 2016 . OH SHIT . . . BUFFY GOT THE BROOM OUT !

Nashville Predators draft D Cameron Reid 21st overall
The Preds traded the 23rd and 67th picks to the Ottawa Senators to move up and draft 21st, where they selected defender Cameron Reid, who may have fallen a little to get there — many scouting reports had him ranked a few places higher. Reid spent the last two seasons with the Kitchener Rangers, scoring 21 points (2G/21A) in 43 games in the first of those seasons and 54 points (14G/40A) in 67 games this year, where he was also awarded an A for the team. The scouting report at ElitePro...

Confessions of a Polluted Mindset - No Laundering Needed
My source inside the Vikings organization tell me the Vikings saved some money this week by not needing to have Sam Darnold's jersey laundered. Look, I watched a lot of Sam Darnold when he played for the Jets. I liked him coming out of college and would always tell my Giants fans friends that he would be a better quarterback than Daniel Jones. He has a strong and accurate arm when he can comfortably step into throws, When he's under pressure is when it all falls apart and the interceptions and...
Building the Nest
The Anaheim Ducks may boast the most consistent elite goalie play in NHL history. With the trade deadline past, multiple contending teams have a clear hole in net, and almost none of them filled it. Whether you want to look at how Carolina is an extremely well rounded team except goaltending, how the LA Kings haven’t won a playoff series since prime Johnathan Quick graced them, or how the Devils quite literally took themselves out of playoff contention by not addressing goaltending. Goalies ma...
5-year Marliniversary: Marlins score two in ninth to rally past Mets
Getty Images A Marlins memory from this day in 2018. Despite being one of the top perennial pitchers in baseball during his time with the New York Mets, Jacob deGrom has lost eight of his last 14 decisions against the Miami Marlins. Against Miami, deGrom also holds a sub-three ERA for his career. On this day five years ago, the right-hander was as good as advertised, but the Mets’ bullpen let him down. After being shut out for eight innings, the Marlins scored two runs in the ninth to s...

This week the schedule does get a bit softer, but as we’ve already learned, Buffalo cannot really take any opponents for granted with how they’ve been playing recently. It...
Escape from Dull Island
Wendell Cruz-USA TODAY Sports Sabres score two crucial points in a goaltender’s duel Score: Sabres 2 | Islanders 0 Shots: BUF 35 | NYI 27 Buffalo Sabres Goals: 1) Okposo (Lyubushkin) 2) Skinner (Cozens, Mittelstadt) New York Islanders Goals: … Minus 1: Goaltending - The Miracle Cure There are few things that change a hockey game like stellar goaltending.

30-year Orlandoversary: Magic outlast Knicks in first-ever triple-overtime game
Photo credit should read DAVID MILLS/AFP via Getty Images For the Orlando Magic, Valentine’s Day has had its quirks over the years. In 1990, Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan was infamously forced to wear a nameless No. 12 jersey after his came up missing at Orlando Arena. On this day 30 years ago, the Magic played their first triple-overtime game. Shaquille O’Neal bounced back from a poor offensive start with several key defensive plays down the stretch as the Magic topped the New York...
