Dave Roberts still thinks he’s playing Strat-O-Matic
I have to credit Joe Sheehan, who has been using that metaphor for a long while now. Anyway, one of the problems with Dave Roberts as manager, at least in the playoffs, is he just assumes he’ll get production from the back of the baseball card simply because. Mostly, if not solely, this has been the...
Maybe the Rays needed to use the itchier trigger finger in Game 1
The Tampa Bay Rays don’t wait around. They are even less likely to wait around when their bullpen has had two full days off and all their starters will be on regular rest. For a few years they’ve had an organizational plan, which means they go to the pen when they want, which is usually quickly. And...

For sure, a legacy hangs in the balance of this World Series....
Dodgers and Rays are like mirror images of each other ... sorta
It’s tired as shit, and if you’ve spent more than six consecutive minutes on Twitter you’ve already seen the two Spider-men pointing at each other at least 14 times. And yet, these types of things tend to be borne out of truth before they approach and then surpass the saturation point....
Braves run and stumble their way out of the NLCS
Even a make-believe or mutated season can make for memories that will haunt for years. As the Braves and their fans stew over yet another playoff flameout (the Braves may have to join the A’s and Twins on the playoff-banned list), they’ll look back at the 2nd inning of Game 6 and the 4th inning of G...
An Astros dynasty would be the perfect end to this dumpster of a season
In Greek mythology, before the gods of Olympus, there were the Titans, a group of siblings who came to power by overthrowing their dad, Uranus, and chopping off his dick. The Titan Cronus, who took the throne from his castrated father, was then himself defeated and imprisoned by his own son, Zeus....
Cristiano Ronaldo tests positive for COVID-19
Cristiano Ronaldo has been able to dodge the multiple sexual assault allegations that have been lodged against him, but 2020 caught up with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner on Tuesday as he was diagnosed with coronavirus....

Weston McKennie’s Move To Juventus Could Be Huge Boon To USMNT...If He Plays
It kind of came out of nowhere. While rumors of Weston McKennie wanting to move on from Schalke in the Bundesliga were running pretty wild, the mentioned destinations were more mid-tier Premier League clubs. Southampton was the main one, which made all the sense in the world. Certainly McKennie woul...
In Game 7, Jason Heyward Rose to the Occasion, Last Night His Cubs Teammates Failed to Return the Favor
When Game 7 of the 2016 World Series went to a rain delay in Cleveland, after the Chicago Cubs, trying to end their 108-year championship drought, had let the lead slip away on Rajai Davis’ tying homer, they needed to pick up the pieces and figure out how to mentally get back into things for extra i...

While they’ve pretty much been a plague their entire existence, never have the New York Mets come across being an actual incubus themselves. At least of an actual virus. ...
Sarri’s Not Enough: Juventus Boots Manager as Champions League Drought Continues
It is strange for a club to fire its manager after winning the league. It’s not unheard of, as Real Madrid once fired Vicente Del Bosque after he’d won both the Champions League and La Liga twice, but it’s still strange. To do it in two consecutive years however suggests a nutty desperation, a flail...

July 1 in baseball is Bobby Bonilla Day, when the Mets pay $1,193,248.20 to their former third baseman, who hasn’t set foot on a major league diamond since 2001, as part of a deferred payment plan. It’s a check the Mets have been cutting annually since 2011, and they will send a seven-figure sum to ...
