Buyout worries? USC hasn’t historically been called the “University of Spoiled Children” for nothing…

7 straight two-out hits? 8 straight two-out runs? 5 runs in a span of 8 pitches? Six runs in a span of 13 pitches? The Brewers' 5th inning in Game 3 was what you call Weird & Wild column material. So ... How historic was it? You're welcome! www.nytimes.com/athletic/772...

nytimes.comBrewers’ 8-run explosion was an inning unlike any other in World Series history (Gift Article)Seven straight two-out hits! … Eight straight two-out runs! And to think it all happened after replay overturned an inning-ending out.

via @stathead.com, throughout 122 years of world series history there have been two games in which a team scored 10+ runs and allowed 3 or fewer hits. both were the brewers (tonight and 1982 game 1)

“emasculation” dawg, they lost. losing is very masculine too

Jeff Passan Bot@jeffpassanbot.bsky.social

FINAL: Brewers 10, Rays 1 A complete emasculation. Brewers batters swatted seven consecutive hits and scored eight runs with two outs in the fifth. Brewers pitchers shut down Tampa Bay hitters all night. Milwaukee is up 3-0 and can clinch its first World Series title on Tuesday.

Most hits in first 3 games of a World Series: 1990 Billy Hatcher: 9 2026 Jackson Chourio: 8

Jackson Chourio’s 7 hits are tied for second-most in the first 3 games of a World Series behind 1990 Billy Hatcher’s 9 7 are tied for most in the first 3 games of a World Series at 22 or younger … with 1908 Ty Cobb

Teams to open a World Series at 3-0 are 25-0 in winning the series. But if you need a reason to stay locked in, consider Game 3 of the 2004 ALCS.

Jackson Chourio entered tonight tied with 15 other players for 351st all-time in playoff hits. He’s now tied for 306th. Among the players he’s passed already tonight: Dave Parker, Allen Craig, Ichiro, and Craig Counsell.

Freddy Peralta lasted 4 2/3 innings against his old team. Not bad, but not great. He leaves with the bases loaded and two outs.

Jackson Chourio is the 26th player with multiple hits in each of the first 3 games of a World Series At 22 years old, he’s the youngest to do it

Jaelan Phillips was spotted on the stationary bike during Monday's walkthrough, per Joe Person. The Panthers defense will already have to play the Packers without Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, and Nic Scourton. Green Bay could catch another break if Carolina's top edge rusher is also unavailable.

Older progressives remember what can happen when a mass movement stands down. The grassroots machine that propelled Obama into office was shut down, and his most ardent supporters were let down. The young'uns won't make that mistake.

Leaders of the No Kings movement are already gearing up for the next major grassroots campaign: Making sure congressional Democrats don’t wimp out. My first piece at @newrepublic.com! (Reposted to update link card) newrepublic.com/article/2168...

I have circled the ball and the closest player on each of these two pictures. Picture 1: No penalty Picture 2: Intentional Grounding Same game. Same team. This isn't a "Packers v Lions" thing. This is about consistency in calls.

big failure from the NBA to not get two of its teams to move one (1) regular season game. the NBA owns 42% of the WNBA (functionally more, since a lot of NBA owners own teams) and should be invested in wanting the league to grow, even at minor expense to its more popular product

BREAKING: Game 6 of the WNBA Finals will be held Thursday at 12:30pm ET at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena, sources told ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne. It will be a double-header with the Atlanta Hawks’ game, which will be moved to 8pm.

The NBA has reached deals with Kalshi and Polymarket to make them the league's preferred prediction markets partners. The companies can now use NBA IP on their platforms, while the NBA gets right of approval on markets that they offer. That and more: www.nytimes.com/athletic/772...
