Somewhere, Wilmer Flores feels Yandy Diaz’ pain.

Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Stephen Curry aren’t available. Game 7 of the NBA Finals. You’re down 1 with 5 seconds left. Name a player you’re trusting to take the last shot.

Free advice for Hart Trophy voters. Save the video from tonight’s San Jose-Dallas game. Watch it in April when you ask how valuable Macklin Celebrini is to the Sharks.

The tabloid headline writers in New York are salivating as they warm up in their respective bullpens.

Just wow!
Justin Verlander's daughter running out to the mound to walk her dad off the field in his final MLB game was awesome.

Congratulations, @EHigueros!
Erwin Higueros has spent his career bridging baseball, culture, language and community, giving Spanish-speaking fans an authentic connection to the team through his broadcasts. And today, he became officially inducted into the Hispanic Heritage Baseball Museum Hall of Fame. 👏 @EHigueros

Age yourself by naming the starting shortstop for your favorite MLB team when you were 10. I’ll start: Derek Jeter.

Used to be that college football broadcasters would occasionally mention a player’s hometown. Now it’s a constant harangue of the school(s) he formerly attended. Seemingly every player. What in the world are we doing here?

For a guy who spent only five months in an #SFGiants uniform, Luis Arraez ranks remarkably high on my personal list of all-time favorite Giants. Will be rooting for him in Philly.

Exactly.
“Anyone could have matched the prospect package the Dodgers gave up for Skubal.” Sure, but not everyone can replace what they gave up for Skubal after he goes somewhere else in FA next year as easily as the Dodgers can. They won’t be hurt by the players they lost, not even a little bit. TBR, MIL, etc. would have been.

Either way, Ducks and Flyers need to play opening night, no?
The #NHL will release the full 2026-27 season schedule on July 16. We’re rapidly approaching the league’s first 84-game regular season since 1993-94.
