Of all the ways the Dodgers demonstrated their invulnerability through the first nine games of the postseason, perhaps none was more disheartening to their opponents than the strength of the bullpen. Last night, the Astros found some heart....

Joyous Baseball Is Great Baseball

Game 2 was delirious. It made me feel drunk and insane, even though I was barely either. In the 7-6, 11-inning Astros win to tie the series, enough weird shit happened for an entire postseason. Where do you start?...

What The Hell Was That?

Idiot On The Field Jumps Into Astros Bullpen, Is Caught Before Even Landing

A heart-stopping World Series classic took a slight delay in the heat of the 10th inning when an idiot not-quite on the field wearing Dodgers gear decided that, after back-to-back Astros home runs, it was the perfect time to hop into the visitors’ bullpen....

Vin Scully Returns To Dodger Stadium For First-Pitch Ceremony

If there’s been anything wrong with the Dodgers’ otherwise near-flawless season so far, it’s only that Vin Scully hasn’t been in the booth to call it. While the legendary announcer is hopefully enjoying his long-deserved retirement, the crowd at Dodger Stadium was understandably thrilled to see him ...

Let's Check In On The Knicks

With a 110-89 loss to the Celtics tonight, the Knicks dropped to 0-3. Here are some selected highlights....

Clayton Kershaw Delivered Game 1 For The Dodgers

The narrative of Clayton Kershaw’s inability to handle the postseason has always been bigger than it has been real. There have always been far too many other factors at play—namely, poor managerial decisions and a shaky bullpen behind him—for that idea to be true. (Not to mention a number of perfect...

Steaming Pile Of Shit

Have You Seen JuJu Smith-Schuster's Bike? [Update]

It’s been a rough week for Steelers rookie JuJu Smith-Schuster. Martavis Bryant is talking shit online about him, he’s landed in the concussion protocol, and now some rapscallion has made off with Smith-Schuster’s prized bicycle. This is bullshit! Give it back!...

Seahawks Do That Goddamn Double Catch Again<em></em><em></em>

In the box score, this play that gave the Seahawks some breathing room against the Giants is simply a 38-yard touchdown from Russell Wilson to Paul Richardson, but live, it’s a lot to unpack....

Yankees Fail To Win 41st American League Pennant; Astros Win First

The Houston Astros are headed to their second World Series after claiming the American League pennant for the first time, downing the Yankees in the ALCS’s deciding seventh game 4-0 thanks to five shutdown innings from starter Charlie Morton, some well-timed defense, and Lance McCullers Jr. shreddin...

At Least There's Kristaps

The Thunder look like they’ll be fun, and good. The Knicks are of course neither, but in last night’s 105-84 loss they were bad on a level that still managed to surprise. If you are a team with a hopeless season ahead of you but a small gaggle of bright young players, you might just invest in their ...

The NFL's Players Won

Wherever this goes from here—continued player protests during the national anthem; actual reform-oriented initiatives sponsored by the NFL; more diaper-filling from the president of the United States—one obvious takeaway from this week’s league meetings here in Manhattan is that the players showed h...

This Is Clayton Kershaw's Time To Shine

The Dodgers are going to the World Series for the first time in nearly 30 years and we already know who will be on the mound for Game 1 in Los Angeles. It will be the face of the franchise, Clayton Kershaw. It couldn’t be anyone else....

This Was Kiké Hernandez's Night

The list of players with three home runs in a postseason game is fairly short. There’s Babe Ruth, twice. There’s Mr. October, Albert Pujols, George Brett. José Altuve, who did it two weeks ago, and Pablo Sandoval, who did it five years ago, and Adrián Beltré and Bob Robertson. Weirdly, there is Adam...
