No Luka, no Reaves, still no LeBron, second night of a back-to-back, on the road in Portland against a Blazers team playing well ... no problem. Lakers are 6-2. JJ and co. may have something here

Doubt either team is trying to win much a few months from now, but for now, the Celts and Jazz play HARD, man

Beautiful stuff from Giannis to win it in a hostile environment

Shorthanded Cavs and Ja-less Grizzlies far from a murderer's row, but you can only beat who's in front of you, and banking multiple wins without Poeltl - given how this roster is constructed - is nothing to sneeze at. Solid weekend for the Raptors to steady the ship a bit

If Embiid deserved to be fined for anything, it wasn't the DX crotch-chop, it was that flop when White grazed him

Yeah 2011 Rangers and 1986 Buckner'd Sox are the two that come to my mind as teams that can relate. Just pure devastation in Toronto right now. I know it CAN happen, but in the moment, feels like how/when will we ever get this close again?

Fair enough, the Buckner game. Alright then, in my lifetime it's 2011 Rangers & 2025 Jays. And that fucking sucks for me

Too far off 2nd base last night for Barger, too close to 3rd tonight for IKF. Devastating

The wedged ball, Barger getting doubled up, Smith's toe getting back on the plate, Pages play on Clement deep fly, the batters before and after Ohtani delivering the daggers, Kirk doing the one thing he couldn't/we were worried he would ... I'm sick

You can't get closer to winning it all without actually winning it than that. Maybe the 2011 Rangers or something, but Jesus, I can't imagine ever getting over this one. This team was a joy to root for, but they left the biggest one out there. So so soo painful

Scherzer's great middle of the season run helped get the Jays to October, but consider the bad thumb, the brutal September, not being on the DS roster, & then the dude gives em 14.1 IP in three starts between the LCS & the World Series. Unbelievable. The man is an all-time GAMER

Awesome moment between Scherzer and the fans there. Salute to a legend. Gave us everything he had 🫡🥲

"Fuck, guess I have to do this ..."

That's baseball

Hitting one OFF the pitcher in response to a HBP is wild

The dugouts and bullpens emptying in Game 7 just another chapter in this absolute CLASSIC of a Fall Classic. Can't imagine anyone's actually trying to hit anyone in a two-run Game 7 so I can understand the Dodgers being like 'WTF,' but F it, let's brawl

The angels were with him today. And by angels, I mean Daulton Varsho, Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Nathan Lukes, and the Blue Jays' defence

THE GHOST OF KIRK GIBSON (who is still alive) HAUNTS HIS BELOVED DODGERS THROUGH ONE-LEGGED BO BICHETTE

Max Scherzer is about to start Game 7 of the World Series.

For the Blue Jays.

In Toronto.

Before we start living and dying with every pitch and inching towards unfathomable sports euphoria or heartbreak ... let's appreciate it.

Now let's gooooooooooooooooo

Ummmmm ....

Gas Man is here. Electric

Oh I hear that - In a piece I did on offence finally plateauing a couple years ago, I included a quote from a 1970s WaPo column ... that complained scoring was getting out of hand, defence had gone soft, etc. etc. haha

I usually agree with that haha, but in this case, I can see why both generations feel the way they do

"I'm not so sure it's desire that's lacking in modern players. It's that the goalposts have moved when it comes to what constitutes being physically fit to play, and it wasn't the players who moved them. The multibillion-dollar industry they're part of did."

Bane's 3P% will obviously stabilize, but his 3Prate sinking - whether due to his own decisions or ORL's inability to create the looks for him - is very concerning, given how much Magic need him to unlock things and price paid for him (which I supported)

Koufax dumbfounded by Yesavage is one of the shots of the year

Magic O not looking much better yet (and the defense sliding) is big part of why they made my early-season panic meter
