Dusty Baker Panicked
Dusty Baker had a choice to make heading into the seventh inning of last night’s NLDS finale, and both options would have been defensible.

The Nationals Are Stuck With Danny Espinosa Tonight, Unless They Opt For The Only Thing Worse

Auston Matthews Is Ready
It’s appropriate that the happiest and most hopeful Maple Leafs fans have been in exactly three seasons and 15 minutes is after a game they lost. But though the Senators prevailed 5-4 in overtime of the season opener, it’s obvious that Toronto—and, hell, the rest of us—should be very, very excited. ...

Over the weekend, USA Today published a two-part interview with Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadivé, a look back on his three-and-a-half years in charge of the struggling team.
