Nothing has looked good for Noah Syndergaard since he abruptly exited in the first inning of his last start—the news that he’d refused an MRI before the game because he “felt fine,” the news that the Mets had let him do that, and the news that he was suffering from a partial tear of his lat muscle w...

In Praise Of A Perfect Helper
The Rangers’s 4-1 pummeling of the Senators in Game 3 was maybe the most expected thing in the world.
