Tomlin, Indians advance to World Series
- October 20, 2016
Francisco Lindor scored from first on the play. Terry Francona led the 2004 Boston Red Sox to their first Major League Baseball title since 1918. With all of 11 major league innings under his belt - and only one start, on September 30 - Merritt took the mound and looked just like a seasoned vet. (more...)

Costa warned to show more respect to Conte
- October 20, 2016
Chelsea are out of European competition this year, but have already chalked up a couple of crucial losses. Retaining the title was always likely to be a bridge too far for Leicester, but the depth of their struggles - they have won only twice in eight matches - is still a surprise. (more...)

Cubs offence comes up empty as Dodgers take NLCS lead
- October 20, 2016
Turner led off the sixth with a solo home run to chase Chicago Cy Young victor Jake Arrieta and provide the Dodgers with a four-run cushion. "When you get to see it on TV, it's pretty obvious", Maddon said. It was so loud at Wrigley Field that Cubs second baseman Javier Baez said it felt like the home dugout ceiling was going to collapse. We can talk billy goats or black cats, but the only Chicago-based curses should be directed toward the Dodgers' lefty-leaning pitching staff, which ... (more...)

Cardinals cruise over Jets in Monday Night Football
- October 20, 2016
Despite the Arizona Cardinals' Patrick Peterson , 26, doing all he could to block, Brandon still managed to make the catch! "I mean, he barely had time to throw". SAINTS 41, PANTHERS 38 Wil Lutz kicked a 52-yard field goal with 11 seconds left and quarterback Drew Brees riddled a young Carolina secondary for 465 yards and four touchdowns to power the New Orleans Saints to a 41-38 victory over the Panthers.

Cardinals' Carson Palmer: Cramps root of hamstring issue
- October 20, 2016
Cardinals RB David Johnson (25 touches, 138 total yards, 3 rushing touchdowns) - On the first play of the Cardinals second drive of the game, Johnson took a handoff 58 yards for a touchdown . The offense ran through Johnson and he rewarded the team scoring three times. That's remarkable efficiency, and exactly what Arizona needed from its signal-caller against a defense that opted to bring more pressure last night than it had throughout the season. (more...)

Gary Kubiak issues statement after hospital visit
- October 20, 2016
I believe Siemian starts and the defense gets back on track. That was a bit of an understatement, but Sanders also defended the Broncos' rough game by pointing out that sometimes the other team just plays better. Without Kubiak around the team right now, preparations have to be accelerated and the team needs to figure out who will take over should he not be available. (more...)

Southampton 3-1 Burnley: The Saints go marching past sorry Burnley
- October 20, 2016
After Steven Davis saw a goalbound effort blocked by Michael Keane , Burnley found themselves dead and buried when Gudmundsson hauled down Targett's replacement Sam McQueen in the box. "After the injury, we came back with a good intention and situation". Formerly a defender, Sean Dyche would have hoped that Burnley would learn their lesson from leaving van Dijk and Austin unmarked in the penalty area. (more...)

Nick Kyrgios fined £13500 for 'tanking' during Shanghai Masters match
- October 20, 2016
After the game, Kyrgios lashed out at the crowd who booed him on several occasions during the second-round match and as he left the court. "I didn't ask you to come". "But there are things going on in the background of people's lives too and if you think that you haven't got the wherewithal to give your best effort it's probably best not to go on to the court because I think you do a lot of damage to yourself".

Jose Mourinho confirms Henrikh Mkhitaryan is no longer injured
- October 20, 2016
Klopp's men had conceded in all of their Premier League appearances to date, prior to Monday night's result, and it appears Liverpool may have finally found a way in which to stop the opposition. The Frenchman insisted last week that he wanted to play in a more advanced position for the Red Devils rather than the holding midfield role he had been given since his world record move from Juventus.

See Josh Donaldson's home run in Tuesday's ALCS Game 4
- October 20, 2016
Francona was manager of the Red Sox in 2004 when Boston went down 3-0 to the New York Yankees but stormed back to take the ALCS and go on to win the club's first World Series in 86 years to end the "Curse of the Bambino". You could get mesmerized watching playback of Merritt's Game 5 pitches. Surely, the Indians' bullpen, as good as it has been, couldn't be expected to get 25 outs against Toronto . (more...)

Los Angeles jury rejects lawsuit accusing National Basketball Association star Derrick Rose of rape
- October 20, 2016
The woman who filed the lawsuit - a 30-year-old ex- girlfriend of Rose - claimed the athlete and his friends conspired to sexually assault her in the pre-dawn hours of August 27, 2013, as she lay passed out. Rose said he was thankful the jury "understood and agreed with me". Jurors in the case must reach a unanimous verdict. "Race also became an issue, with Baute insisting Rose's accuser was using racial stereotypes with words like" sexual deviants" to win her case. (more...)

Bucs' Gerald McCoy returns to practice, should play vs 49ers
- October 20, 2016
Martin suffered a setback to his hamstring injury over the weekend of the team's bye week and has no apparent timetable for a return. Rodgers is a plug-and-play RB2 in a dream spot. McCoy, who was sidelined from the Bucs' win against Carolina with a calf injury, would be a major boost for the Bucs' defensive line, which could still be without two starters in McDonald (hamstring) and Ayers (ankle).

Seattle still unsure of Kam Chancellor's status for Arizona
- October 20, 2016
Arizona sports the league's No. 5 defense entering Sunday, but previous year, it did not successfully handle the Seahawks' transformation to a more wide-open attack based on the throwing of quarterback Russell Wilson. Richard Sherman's ability to get away with pass interference is elite. "An offensive player can stop a turnover and it's a 10-yard penalty and they might still get the first down", Sherman said of the NFL. (more...)

Cubs rally in ninth to win NLDS, knock out Giants
- October 20, 2016
Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn loves Hillary Clinton and is doing all he can to get her elected, but he says she's dead wrong in opposing the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal. In comes closer Sergio Romo . "That's the big blow". "We've done it before and the guys, we don't quit", Cubs centre fielder Dexter Fowler said. With the Giants on their heels, this is when Cubs manager Joe Maddon began tinkering, and nobody tinkers better than Maddon. (more...)

Madison Bumgarner and Noah Syndergaard's Wild Card Pitching Duel an All-Time Great
- October 20, 2016
Bumgarner pitched a complete-game shutout, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out six opposing batters in what was another terrific postseason performance for the 27-year-old. While it would be wrong to knock the Mets for not scoring against Bumgarner - look at the countless other teams that have not - perhaps they could have driven up his pitch count and forced an earlier exit.

Kalis wasn't ashamed to admit he watched Ohio State's overtime win at Wisconsin on Saturday night, as MI had the day off due to a bye week.

Dodgers blank Cubs, tie NLCS
- October 20, 2016
The three-time Cy Young Award victor hurled 4.2 innings of ideal ball before allowing hits to Javier Baez and Willson Contreras. He was 15-2 with an AL-low 3.00 ERA this season. Addison Russell , dropped from fifth to seventh, is 1 for 24. Baez flied to right, and lefty swinging Chris Coghlan hit for righty David Ross, and Roberts chose to intentionally walk him to load the bases - bringing up Chapman's spot in the batting order.
