When I'd rather watch 'Schitt's Creek' than ANOTHER no-hitter, you know baseball has a problem
Last night, I was scrolling Twitter as the dulcet tones of Schitt’s Creek provided a backdrop to my evening. In short, I was doing nothing. As the late night baseball game out west between the Seattle Mariners and and the Detroit Tigers wore on, I started seeing familiar tweets in my timeline — we w...
The East Play-Ins sucked, but Warriors/Lakers was really all we cared about here, right?
Tonight is when we will see if the Play-Ins were worth it....
Joe West’s 'record' is a testament to inertia
I wasn’t aware that the Major League Baseball Umpires’ union had a Twitter feed. I mean, why wouldn’t they? You also might, for a very brief moment, ask if it’s an outlet where the union might help explain some controversial calls or the like. But then you’ll quickly remind yourself that this these ...
Warriors-Lakers shows just how much fans miss Warriors-Cavs
The NBA’s first-ever play-in tournament starts tomorrow — eight teams, six games, four playoff spots up for grabs. But if you turned on SportsCenter at any point in the last two days, you’d think only one game was happening tomorrow — Warriors at Lakers. ...
Albert Pujols is the latest Hall of Famer you’ll forget played for the Dodgers
The possibility of Albert Pujols returning to St. Louis to finish his career where he started it, this time as a bench bat for a Cardinals team that has title aspirations and Paul Goldschmidt at first base, was too good to be true....
Why are the Twins such a bad team in non-9-inning games? Like, 0-11 bad
The Minnesota Twins probably weren’t expecting to be where they currently sit heading into this season. Minnesota reached the playoffs in three of the last four seasons, and were looking to return once again in 2021 in the hopes of actually winning a playoff series for the first time since 2003. So ...
LeBron’s out again, so the Lakers need another awesome Anthony Davis game tonight

Don’t expect the upcoming Lakers docuseries to be the next <em>Last Dance</em>
2022 will be the “Year of the Lakers.” Not on the court, necessarily, but definitely on our television screens....
Blazers welcome back fans just in time to stick it to L.A.
I don’t think anyone will argue that the NBA playoff intensity was alive and well in the bubble last year. There were fantastic games that came down to clutch moments, and there were underdog teams like Miami making a run all the way to the Finals. It was everything on the court you could hope for. ...
Anthony Davis got injured again, and it’s getting late early for the Lakers
The league leader in heading to the locker room during games has to be either Anthony Davis or Kristaps Porzingis....
In case you forgot, Justin Herbert had a historic rookie season
A lot of people are aware of the fact that Justin Herbert is what we in the sports word like to call “good,” but it doesn’t seem like the brilliant start to his career is being talked about enough....
The teams and matchups we most wanna see for the NBA’s Play-in Tournament
Contrary to what LeBron James says, the NBA Play-In Tournament was a great idea. Because of the strange circumstances the NBA found itself in after COVID-19 wrecked 2020, the league had an opportunity to try out some goofy new ideas to make up for the fact that the fans were only getting a 72-game s...

The Broncos got the best running back in the NFL Draft
The best running back in the 2021 NFL Draft wasn’t Najee Harris. And it wasn’t Travis Etienne. It wasn’t a running back that played at Georgia, or Ohio State, or Alabama, or LSU. It wasn’t a running back that played in the national championship, or was recruited out of one of the hot-beds for high s...
Manchester City shows PSG the steel they lack
It was hard to not notice the symbolism or statement about two teams in a Champions League final that are owned by entities so rich as to be unbothered by The Super League. PSG never joined, and Manchester City were the first ones out after joining with not much more than a shrug. But that’s to be s...
Dustin May’s injury highlights a bigger problem in Major League Baseball
Major League Baseball gets a lot of flack for its unwritten rules, inaction against cheaters, television blackouts, and inability to market top players. Yet, what MLB gets the most hate for is its unwillingness to change....
The Lakers could fall into the play-in and matchups could get crazy
This could get really interesting. The Lakers have played like hot garbage over their last few games, even with LeBron James and Anthony Davis returning to their lineup....
A Lakers/Nets Finals would do wonders for the NBA, too bad injuries keep getting in the way
The recipe is a simple one to follow: add a dash of the Los Angeles Lakers or a pinch of LeBron James as a substitute. Those are the ingredients for a NBA Finals ratings hit....
