Stephen Strasburg gave up a single run over his six innings, and the Washington Nationals knocked around the St. Louis Cardinals bullpen late, combining to send the Cardinals to a 10-2 road loss Sunday. → Read More
Presumably a couple of goatherds in the Eurasian Steppe and perhaps deep-water oil platform welders in the North Sea are still unaware, so let’s start with the obvious: Klay Thompson had himself a night Saturday. The other Golden State guard took over the elimination Game 6 for the Warriors to such a degree that Steph Curry, one assist shy of a 31-point triple-double, looked like a klutz in… → Read More
Not often you see a dude round first and get mobbed under a pig-pile of teammates in the Majors, even when that’s a walk-off single. But there was Brett Eibner at the bottom of a heap of blue laundry in Kansas City this afternoon, after he capped the biggest ninth-inning comeback in the Royals’ 7,596-game history. → Read More
Bryce Dejean-Jones, a 23-year-old shooting guard for the New Orleans Pelicans, is dead in Dallas County, Texas, according to a report in the Ames Tribune. The cause is being reported as a gunshot to the abdomen. → Read More
Joe Breschi was the head coach of Ohio State’s lacrosse team in 2004, when his 3-year-old, Michael, was fatally struck by an SUV in the parking lot of his preschool. Now the eighth-year head coach at North Carolina, Breschi was back in Columbus today for a national quarterfinal game against national No. 3 seed Notre Dame, vying for the Tar Heels’ first Final Four berth since 1993. → Read More
If you’re a Padres fan, these are the moments you live for: Self-immolation by a Dodgers pitcher that leads to a walk-off 11th-inning win. This canny piece of non-hitting came late Saturday and includes all the drama of a game-winning hit but with the hold-yer-breath matador’s flourish that Yangervis Solarte offered the final pitch. → Read More
Exaggerator this afternoon became the first Kentucky Derby runner-up since 1993 to win the Preakness, angled out wide from the rail on the final turn to chase down Nyquist, the Derby winner and heavy favorite. → Read More
This fine animal, name of Homeboykris, won the first race at Pimlico today, hit the winner’s circle, and then flat-out died on the way back the barn, probably of a heart attack. He was 9 years old, and has won 15 races in his career. Three races later, in the final turn, a 4-year-old named Pramedya broke her left-front cannon bone and had to be euthanized on the track. Her jockey, Daniel… → Read More
This blurry, cargo-shorted gentleman striking a come at me, bro pose amid a crowd of soccer fans and police outside Yankee Stadium? He’s your mascot for a bunch of chest-puffery and general ass-showing before the Red Bulls and New York City FC played in the Bronx today. → Read More
There was a full two minutes back there—three, practically—when Crystal Palace looked as if it might pull off the greatest victory in its 110-year history. Having been outplayed till then in the FA Cup, Joel Ward put in a sort of cross just as midfielder Jason Puncheon sprinted beyond the pack. Puncheon gathered it and in a blink snuck it into the goal. → Read More
The janitor finally poured sawdust on the ugliest series in the NBA playoffs Sunday, as Toronto won the biggest game in the history of pro basketball in Canada. The Raptors beat the Heat 116-89, advancing to the Eastern Conference finals, first time for everything. Cleveland, which might lose a game in that series, awaits. Miami today looked like the trickle of grey dairy-clot water that… → Read More
Look how chill that dude is right there. Twenty-seven years old, a Super Bowl winner, wearing a hoodie to a graduation ceremony at which he gave a funny, inspirational, self-effacing speech that also settled some scores with an old coach. This weekend in Madison, Russell Wilson—Seahawks QB, former Wisconsin Badger, non-asshat—put on a clinic in gracious public speaking. He was the converse… → Read More
Who ya got in Game 7 today? If you don’t live in Miami or Toronto, the answer seems utterly moot: The amply rested Cavaliers, having backstroked through the first two rounds of the NBA playoffs, are going to be the overwhelming favorites in the conference finals. Meanwhile the Heat and the Raptors are about to finish their second seven-game series, and having played three OTs in this series… → Read More
Fearful that a self-promoting TV star billionaire without an iota of political experience could become president, GOP elder statesmen apparently reached out to, um, Mark Cuban to run against Donald Trump, the Washington Post reports. → Read More
George Springer grew up in Connecticut, played ball at UConn, and has been going to Red Sox games since he was 3, so naturally the 26-year-old Houston rightfielder has a soft spot for Fenway Park. Last year, two days before he would’ve made his Fenway debut, an Edinson Volquez fastball broke his wrist. Springer thus didn’t get to play in Boston until this week. Wait be damned, he’s burning the… → Read More
The person with the most necessary job in the world, FIFA’s chairman of audit and compliance, has resigned, because FIFA’s top officials on Friday passed a measure that allows them to fire auditing, finance, and ethics officers at will. → Read More
