World Series Notes: Dave Roberts Declines First-pitch Honor At Fenway

Unconventional? Unusual? Atypical? You bet, but the Rockies will take victories by any means necessary. Thursday night at Busch Stadium, they used a ragged but effective start by Cal Quantrill, a starring turn by Michael Toglia, and a hefty dose of small ball to beat the Cardinals 3-2. The Rockies had just four hits, marking just the third time in their last 82 games (since 2019) they won a game with four or fewer hits. And, for a nice change of pace, Colorado’s bullpen didn’t melt down late, enabling the Rockies to snap their five-game losing streak. “Every game is different, but this win feels good, especially after yesterday’s game,” manager Bud Black told reporters in St.

Former Broncos pass-rusher Randy Gregory has filed a lawsuit against the NFL and team claiming discrimination for being fined more than $500,000 in the past year-plus for taking medications for disabilities that include THC.

It is whine o’clock somewhere. This was the impression left by the Los Angeles Lakers after the Denver Nuggets vanquished them in the first round of the playoffs. The Lakers teased with greatness, avoided a sweep with resilience, but more than anything complained about everything. Even their own head coach. “We have stretches where we just don’t know what we are doing on both ends of the floor,” star Anthony Davis said in a direct salvo at Darvin Ham following the Game 2 loss. The Lakers fired Ham after two seasons as it became increasingly clear he’d lost the respect of Davis and LeBron James. Now, the Lakers are targeting UConn coach Dan Hurley.
