WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE NBA TONIGHT?!?!?!

had to be done

This was the Giants' 4th loss of the season with a blown lead of 10+ points The rest of the NFL has 12

Link for the Clase/Ortiz indictment: www.justice.gov/usao-edny/me...

That Ortiz and Clase reportedly received the EXACT same dollar amount from fixers — in 2025! — as Shoeless Joe Jackson and Lefty Williams did in 1919 is … completely absurd. And another reason why player salaries have very little to do with why these gambling scandals happen.

PassanBomb [derogatory]: "Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz have been indicted by prosecutors in Brooklyn on a host of charges related to a scheme to rig bets on pitches thrown in MLB games. Ortiz was arrested in Boston earlier today. Clase is not currently in custody."

INCREDIBLE.

1959 was the beginning of the end for Bob Turley at age 28. Bumped to the bullpen that August, then injuries, and he pitched his last big league game at 33. Bob Friend was the same age, but at least he bounced back in 1960 and still had a few more good seasons.

here's the first video on the new channel, it's about the team that ACTUALLY invented the Tush Push years before the Eagles, so you can appropriately thank them or yell at them depending on whether you think the Tush Push is good (correct) or bad (wrong)

“Possibly the greatest #ThiccSix of all time” @mikegolicjr.bsky.social HE WOULD NOT BE DENIED

Not surprising that Aaron Judge also won a Silver Slugger His 5th career win (2017, 2021, 2022, 2024, 2025) ties the Yankees team record (Dave Winfield, Jorge Posada, Derek Jeter & Robinson Canó) (award started in 1980)

Yankees 2B to Win Silver Slugger Willie Randolph 1980 Alfonso Soriano 2002 Robinson Canó 5x (2006, 2010-13) DJ LeMahieu 2x (2019 & 2020) Jazz Chisholm Jr. 2025

COLSTON LOVELAND TD FOR THE BEARS

A first...last night was only the 3rd World Series-ending double play 1921 Game 8 Giants 1 Yankees 0 Home Run Baker 4-3-5 vs Art Nehf (Aaron Ward was thrown out trying to go 1st-to-3rd! Imagine if that happened today) 1947 Game 7 Yankees 5 Dodgers 2 Bruce Edwards 6-4-3 vs Joe Page

Three of the 12 most pivotal plays in baseball history by cWPA occurred last night

For @theguardian.com: If this is what a broken sport feels like, don’t fix it. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/n...

Yoshinobu Yamamoto is the 14th pitcher to win 3 games in a World Series but the FIRST to win all 3 games on the road

For the 6th year in a row, a player named Will Smith has won the World Series 2020 - Will Smith (C), Dodgers 2021 - Will Smith (RP), Braves 2022 - Will Smith (RP), Astros 2023 - Will Smith (RP), Rangers 2024 - Will Smith (C), Dodgers 2025 - Will Smith (C), Dodgers

We’re 13 months removed from ”the Dodgers can’t win in the postseason.”

Dodgers are the first team to repeat as World Series champions since the 1998-2000 Yankees Ends a streak of 24 straight seasons without a back-to-back champ, the longest stretch that any of the four major sports leagues (MLB/NFL/NBA/NHL) have ever had without one

Tell me the devil doesn't exist. Watch this baseball game and tell me the devil doesn't exist.

World Series winner-take-all game goes to extra innings (6th time) 1912 Red Sox 3 Giants 2 in 10 (Gm 8) 1924 Senators 4 Giants 3 in 12 1991 Twins 1 Braves 0 in 10 1997 Marlins 3 Indians 2 in 11 2016 Cubs 8 Indians 7 in 10 2025 Dodgers & Blue Jays to the 10th!

11 Walk-Off World Series Clinchers 1912 BOS v NYG Gm 8 (G2 was a tie) 1924 WAS v NYG Gm 7 1927 NYY v PIT Gm 4 1929 PHA v CHC Gm 5 1935 DET v CHC Gm 6 1953 NYY v BKN Gm 6 1960 PIT v NYY Gm 7 1991 MIN v ATL Gm 7 1993 TOR v LAD Gm 6 1997 FLA v CLE Gm 7 2001 ARZ v NYY Gm 7

Miguel Rojas (?!) hits the 2nd tying or go-ahead home run in the 9th inning or later in Game 7 of the World Series, joining Bill Mazeroski’s walk-off for the 1960 Pirates

We can’t be surprised by Jeff Hoffman giving up a backbreaking home run, but we can be surprised by Miguel Rojas

Andrés Giménez had the American League's lowest OPS & OPS+ among all players with 350+ PA this season (.598 and 66). Of course he gets them this run right back with a booming double off Glasnow.

Louis Varland pitching for the 15th time in 18 Blue Jays playoff games New MLB record for appearances in one postseason, breaking a tie with: Paul Assenmacher 1997 CLE (14 of 18 team games) Brandon Morrow 2017 LAD (14 of 15)

That shot of Scherzer walking off the field

And now the comebacker sets up 1st & 2nd with 1 out

this game has it all lol

Some diving catch by Varsho on the sac fly. His 82 Defensive Runs Saved since 2022 are the most for any MLB player at any position.

Bo Bichette hits a 3 run HR

Recent pitcher usage for the Dodgers & Blue Jays heading into Game 7

great hot mic moment on Chicago Fire radio heading into halftime

We live in a tumultuous world. But I take solace in the fact that the 2010 University of Alaska Fairbanks hockey intro video remains the most unhinged thing I’ve ever seen.

7th time NBA Finals & World Series went 7 games in same year 1952 Lakers beat Knicks Yankees beat Dodgers 1955 Nationals/Pistons Dodgers/Yankees 1957 Celtics/Hawks Braves/Yankees 1960 Celtics/Hawks Pirates/Yankees 1962 Celtics/Lakers Yankees d Giants 2016 Cavaliers/Warriors Cubs/Indians

Pennock 3 shutout innings in relief of Hoyt Alexander came in for Haines with the bases loaded and 2 outs in the 7th up 3-2 and struck out Tony Lazzeri. Then he retired the next 5 batters before walking Babe Ruth with 2 outs in the 9th, then Babe was thrown out trying to steal 2B to end the series

Safe to say Shohei Ohtani/Max Scherzer joins this list someday World Series winner-take-all games Two Hall of Fame starting pitchers 1926 Cardinals/Yankees Jesse Haines/Waite Hoyt 3-2 STL 1965 Dodgers/Twins Sandy Koufax/Jim Kaat 2-0 LAD 1991 Braves/Twins John Smoltz/Jack Morris 1-0 MIN in 10 inn

Dodgers make it official: Shohei Ohtani will start Game 7 of the World Series on 3 days rest
