Javier Baez electrifies Wrigley crowd with steal of home
- October 17, 2016
Baez was largely considered to be the Cubs' best player in the first round of the postseason, and he's already well on his way to making a name for himself in the National League Championship Series as well. You might say, we've seen Baez notch big hits and make slick defensive plays - what more could he do? In a total of 70 major-league games in the 2014 and 2015 seasons, Baez struck out 119 times across 309 plate appearances for a strikeout rate of a much-too-high 38.5 percent. (more...)

Kohli leads India chase in routine win vs NZ in 1st ODI
- October 17, 2016
Mobile phones were whipped out in attempts to compress the scenic landscape of the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium into mere megabytes of information. When it comes to making use of the sub-continent conditions, spinners Mitchell Santner and Ish Sodhi, who impressed in this year's World Twenty20, will give the visitors a huge boost. (more...)

NOWACKI: Beckham should let his play do the talking
- October 17, 2016
Asiata has played in 18 of them, and scored 14 touchdowns. Quarterbacks Sam Bradford and Shaun Hill have played well, but it is the defense that has carried the Vikings to their 3-0 start. Beckham took exception to Vikings cornerback Xavier Rhodes hit and immediately ran towards him and got in his face. He even appeared to bump the official a bit. (more...)

LeBron James: Trump's comments 'trash talk,' not 'locker room talk'
- October 17, 2016
Donald Trump has dismissed his lewd comments about groping women as "locker room talk " but that was enough to get a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice fired. Ragsdale added this to the Morning News : "Just because it might've been said as a joke, it doesn't meet our standards". Sen. Jeff Sessions, a Trump supporter who was U.S. (more...)

Ware, Smith help lead Chiefs to 26-10 over Raiders
- October 17, 2016
Schwartz is not an unbelievable right tackle so there is a chance, but if he continues to struggle then the Chiefs will be able to get to the less than stellar Raiders secondary and we might see the Raiders involved in yet another shootout. (more...)

Newton too agitated by Panthers loss to enjoy return to form
- October 17, 2016
He's officially been listed as questionable, but he has been saying for days that he is ready to play and plans on it. But he had to watch from the sideline as Drew Brees, who threw for 465 yards, guided the Saints to a winning 52-yard field goal with 11 seconds left. (more...)

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Andrew Miller throws against the Toronto Blue Jays during the seventh inning in Game 2 of baseball's American League Championship Series in Cleveland, Saturday . Francisco Lindor has come up big for the Indians in the first two games in the series accounting for three of the four RBIs that they have gotten.

Cowboys take 7-3 lead over Packers after one
- October 17, 2016
The drive was capped by a 43-yard Mason Crosby field goal - making the score 7-6, Dallas. Asked if Prescott would remain the starter against the Eagles even if Romo was ready, Jones only said, "I wouldn't say unequivocally anything other than we just beat the Green Bay Packers in Green Bay".

What job will David Ortiz have with Red Sox post-retirement?
- October 17, 2016
David Ortiz would end up adding two more World Series wins to his resume in 2007 and 2013. Of course, many moments within the three World Series may change the opinion and the narrative about him. Coco Crisp hit a two-run homer and Allen escaped jams in the eighth and ninth for the AL Central champions. "If you're a pitcher you can't take a hitter off or you're going to pay for it". (more...)

As of this report, the Turkish team is the leader of group A, while the British crew is in the 3rd position. "Seriously, though, I would imagine that if United start putting their tall players in the box they will be fighting for the result, and for that to happen it must mean that something we did must have worked pretty well".

No offense: Blue Jays' bats disappear so far in ALCS
- October 17, 2016
He's more than capable of throwing two innings in relief. He has developed better command of his fastball, working the outer half of the plate but moving the ball up and down, while mixing in four-seamers and two-seamers. He got a good secondary lead from second base and reacted quickly when Happ's pitch to Jason Kipnis went in the dirt and skittered away from Russell Martin . (more...)

Post Match delight for Chelsea featuring Conte, Chalobah and Cahill
- October 17, 2016
One of those three defenders, it should be noted, is the notoriously error-prone David Luiz while the other is Gary Cahill, a man whose mistakes have cost Chelsea dearly in recent games. His education is fantastic. It is a different Leicester and we have to understand why. Marc Albrighton has called for Leicester to rediscover their Premier League-winning characteristics. (more...)

Dolphins stop Big Ben and beat Steelers 30-15
- October 17, 2016
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was taken to the locker room in the middle of the second quarter with a left-knee injury. After the game, Roethlisberger said he would get an MRI on the knee. The Miami Dolphins vs Pittsburgh Steelers game kicks off at 1:00 P.M. Eastern Time . With how minor the hit was that left him ailing, though, you have to be anxious about this one-especially if a player as tough as him had to go to the locker room. (more...)

Blue Jays beat Rangers 7-6 to sweep series
- October 17, 2016
As much as the club would like to keep the momentum and hot streak going, rest will go a long way to helping the Blue Jays' chances of a World Series ticket, especially in the back end of the bullpen. Corey Seager, who will be the NL Rookie of the Year, became the youngest position player to start a playoff game in Dodgers history last year. Sanchez's teammates had his back, immediately erasing the tender Texas edge on a double-blast of homers - trio of runs - in the bottom half of the ... (more...)
