The Milwaukee Brewers came from behind with a three-run sixth inning and went on to defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6 to 2 and take a 3-0 NLCS lead. Tonight’s game literally started with a bang. Jackson Chourio led off the top of the first by hitting the first pitch he saw over the center field fence. 1-0 Brewers. And that was all the scoring until the bottom of the sixth. Robert Gasser started the game for the Brewers. He pitched five innings of shutout baseball giving up thr

Holy Molie‼️ There was some fantastic finishes week 5 in the NFL The Eagles / Jaguar's finish in London was unbelievable-- 10 pts scored in the last 8 seconds (19-17 Jags win) -- The SNF game between the Ravens / Falcons was cookoo‼️ as the Ravens scored the Last 14 points to win in Overtime 30-23‼️ --The Rams / Bills game was truly a SLOBBERKNOCKER with 2 Td's scored in the last minute of regulation and overtime was insane with the game ending with a walk off winning Field g

Tampa pretty much had to have this game tonight. They certainly didn’t want to head to Ohio down two games with the next three in Cleveland. Good pitching and an unfortunate error led them to victory. We had a pitching duel this evening until the bottom of the fourth. Junior Caminero led off with a walk for the Rays and was forced out at second on a grounder by Victor Mesa. With two outs Chandler Simpson beat out an infield single with Mesa making it to third base. Ben Wiliam

There was a little more scoring this afternoon than in yesterday’s 2-1 Brewers’ win. Milwaukee got the bats going and scored seven runs on twelve hits in game two of the National League Championship Series. Los Angeles actually started the scoring in the top of the first. Mookie Betts led off with a walk, went to second on a fielder’s choice, stole third, and scored on Teoscar Hernandez’ sac fly. 1-0 LA. The Brewers tied it up in the bottom of the first as Brice Turang double

Weekend Review Saturday, October 10th The Cleveland Guardians’ pitching staff totally dominated the Chicago White Sox in clinching their Division Series 3 games to 2. The final score: Guardians 2 – White Sox 0. Cleveland starting pitcher, Gavin Williams, had a no-hitter going into the top of the sixth before Kyle Teel managed a single to right field. The White Sox actually loaded the bases in the inning but were unable to score. The only score for the Guardians came in the bo

The Cleveland Guardians staved off elimination for the second day in a row with a dramatic six-run top of the sixth, and then kept the White Sox in check for a 9-5 victory. The White Sox took the early lead in the bottom of the third. Colson Montogomery led off with an infield single. Chase Meidroth doubled to left sending Montgomery to third. Miguel Vargas walked, loading the bases. Munetaka Murakami also walked scoring Montgomery. Sam Antonacci hit a sac fly to right filed

The Cleveland Guardians finally broke out the lumber by scoring nine runs on eleven hits in defeating the Chicago White Sox. This was the Sox first loss in the playoffs after sweeping two games in the Wild Card Round and winning the first two in this Division Series in Cleveland. I guess playing on the road calmed Cleveland down a little and allowed them to concentrate on what they knew they had to do. The White Sox took an early one run lead in the bottom of the first. Sam A

There were two National League game threes on tonight’s schedule. Here are the highlights: Dodger’s ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s masterful seven inning performance, and home runs by Freddie Freeman and Kike Hernandez led LA to a 3-1 victory in tonight’s game. Yamamoto went seven innings allowing four hits and one run while striking out ten Braves. The Braves started an ace of their own, Chris Sale, who lasted five innings giving up seven hits and three runs while striking out sev

The Washington Commanders lost a bizarre game to the Indianapolis Colts in London 30- 13. The team statistics at the end of the game would lead you to believe this game was close; The Commanders out-gained the Colts 317 to 257 in total yards but had only 12 first downs (Colts had 17), both teams possessed the Football for approximately 30 minutes (1/2 the game each). Both place kickers were perfect on their attempts, Stephens 2-2 and Shrader 3-3 for the Colts. Early in the fi

There were four MLB playoff games today as the Division Series kicked off with the first games a best-of-five format. Here’s a little summary of the action: The Chicago White Sox used the highly efficient Relief-Pitcher strategy in shutting out the home team Cleveland Guardians in this afternoon’s game. Five White Sox hurlers surrendered only three hits while striking out twelve batters. Hagen Smith threw the first two and two-third innings, Bryan Hudson went just a third o

Tuesday, September 29th Tonight is the first night of Major League Baseball’s Wild Card series. The contestants are the three wild card teams from each league and the division winner with the fewest number of victories. In the National League the Atlanta Braves won the East Division but had the “worst” record out of the three division winners. So, the Braves host the wild card team with the lowest winning percentage, which in this case is the Philadelphia Phillies. The best p

The Washington Commanders broke their six-game home losing streak, defeating the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks 33 to 31 behind an inspirational effort by quarterback Marcus Marietta, who extended his personal winning streak over the Seahawks to three wins without a loss The Seahawks had won 12 consecutive games, including Super Bowl 60 last season, and dominated the game statistically. They had an 86th percentile offensive success rate –and 89th percentile de

The Washington Nationals relied on their bullpen this afternoon, sending a total of six pitchers to the mound in a 4-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers. The Nats won four and lost two in their six-game road trip to St. Louis and Detroit. They’ll finish the year at home starting Friday with a three-game series against the Mets. Today’s game was scoreless through the first five innings before Washington pushed a few runs across in the top of the sixth. Andrews Chaparro led off w

Underdogs made their appearance in week 2 of the National Football League‼️ Seven visiting teams came away with victories and five of them were not expected to win. It took just 2 weeks for the madness to surface this season and I expect it to continue throughout the rest of this season. Heading into Week 3, eight teams have yet to win a game and eight teams have not lost a game. Five games this week feature those teams head on head; Texans (0-2) @ Colts (0-2) Chargers (0-2)

I recently read somewhere that CJ Abrams wasn’t having that great of a second half of the season. If you agree with that statement then just keep on reading and see if this changes your mind. The Nationals struck first in tonight’s contest as CJ Abrams led off the top of the second inning with his 32nd home run of the year. 1-0 Washington. That’s the way it stayed until the Tigers tied it up in the bottom of the 6th. Kevin McGonigle led off the inning by striking out but

Coming off their three-game series with National League rival St. Louis, the Nats looked a little downtrodden while starting another three-game series in Detroit, Michigan. Just as an aside…why are we playing the Tigers in the last week of the season? Who okayed that schedule? Detroit started fast and then activated the cruise control. Gleyber Torres led off the bottom of the first with a walk. Hao-Yu Lee then doubled to right field scoring Torres. Eduardo Valencia sing

Weekend in review… Friday, September 18th The current ace of the Washington Nationals’ pitching staff, Cade Cavalli, won his 13th game of the season tonight with five shutout innings. Cade gave up four hits while striking out six Cardinals. He was probably taken out of the game a little early due to the Nationals having a big lead. Three relievers finished it off while only surrendering a single run. The Nationals got off to a fast start tonight in St. Louis. With one out in

Sydney Sweeney is once again discovering that modern celebrity culture has an unusual rule: women are encouraged to celebrate their independence, confidence and control over their own image — until they make a choice that certain corners of the internet dislike. The 29-year-old actress has become the center of another social-media storm after appearing in a provocative advertising campaign for sports prediction platform Novig. The campaign features Sweeney posing with footbal

This Season is off to a GREAT start‼️ we had it all in week 1-- Major upsets ( Cardinals - 49ers - Giants ) amazing comebacks (Vikings - Saints -- Commanders) exciting finishes ( Seahawks - Lions - Bills - Eagles ) Blow outs ( 49ers - Bears - Jaguars - Chiefs) Horrible performances (Rams - Chargers - Browns - Broncos) and the season has just started ‼️ The 'Game of the week' between the Bills and the Texans lived up to it’s billing. In a seesaw battle between two teams favore

Friday, September 11th Finally…the Washington Nationals scored some late inning runs and then held on for a 4-3 victory over the visiting Los Angeles Angels. Staff ace Cade Cavalli started for the Nationals. He pitched six complete innings, giving up two runs on three hits while striking out nine Angels. The Angels started the scoring in the top of the first. With one out, Mike Trout smacked his 21st home run to center field. 1-0 Los Angeles. The Nationals tied it up in the b

For the third game of the three-game series, the Nationals had a lead. But this time that lead came early and only lasted half an inning. No late-inning meltdown. Still a disappointing loss, but not as heartbreaking. The Nationals jumped out to that lead in the top of the third. Keibert Ruiz led off with a home run to right field, his 10th of the year. Nasim Nunez drew a base on balls and advanced to third when Jacob Young singled to center. James Wood walked, loading the bas

Believe it or not, the Washington Nationals did it again. Going into the bottom of the eighth with a 4-1 lead, the San Diego Padres pushed across four runs and held on for a 5-4 victory. I kid you not. Tonight’s game started out as a pitcher’s duel. The score was 1-0 Nationals through the first five innings. The lone run for the Nats was scored in the top of the second inning courtesy of Yohandy Morales’ home run, his second of the season. Washington added a couple runs in th

Six grueling weeks of training camp, which included three exhibition games, has led to this-- the start of the 2026–27 NFL regular season. Week one kicks off on Wednesday, September 9th, at 8:15 pm EST, featuring a rematch of Super Bowl LX with the defending Champion Seattle Seahawks, hosting the New England Patriots. The Seahawks defeated the Patriots 29 – 13 on February 8th earlier this year in Levi Stadium. Only 12 teams in NFL history have gone back to the Super Bowl in c

After a tough three-game series against the evil Los Angeles Dodgers, the Nationals were looking for an easier time tonight in San Diego. But the road-losing streak continues. The Padres started the scoring in the bottom of the first. With two outs, Manny Machado doubled to right field. Ty France followed with a base on balls. Jackson Merrill then singled to right, scoring Machado. 1-0 Padres. San Diego got a couple more in the bottom of the third. Fernando Tatis singled to r

Friday, August 4th There are just those games you see on your schedule at the beginning of the year and say maybe a couple of things. Number one…I hope we’re still in the running for a playoff spot so this game or series will mean something….and number two… These are going to be some difficult games for us because this is a great team, and we never play that well against them. So that’s where we stand this weekend with our three-game series against the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

A couple of newcomers made auspicious debuts in tonight’s game against the division leading Atlanta Braves. And we loved every minute of it. The Braves started the scoring in the top of the 2nd as Ozzie Albies hit his 21st home run to center field. 1-0 Atlanta. The Nats took the lead in the bottom of the 2nd. With one out, Harry Ford walked and advanced to 3rd base on a double by Jorbit Vivas. With two outs, CJ Abrams singled in Ford and Vivas. Dylan Crews walked, advancing A

One of the many things I love about baseball is its inconsistency. You just never really know what’s going to happen from one game to the next. You may think you know and maybe place a bet or two on that supposed knowledge acquired through pod casts and tip lines and prediction markets, or whatever you may call them. But no one is right every time. Everyone ends up losing more than they win. That’s what keeps these sites in business. The only people getting rich in Vegas are

RAVENS RAVAGE COMMANDERS 41-3 IN FINAL EXHIBITION GAME Let’s hope the last two exhibition games are not an indication of how this season is going to play out for the Washington Commanders. From the opening kickoff until the game clock struck 00:00, the Baltimore Ravens dominated our home town boys. For the 2nd consecutive week the Commanders lost both sides of the line of scrimmage. It took the Ravens just 8 plays to score a touchdown on their first possession. Backup Quarter

The Washington Nationals have been quite inconsistent lately. A blown ninth inning lead in yesterday’s game; and five innings of scoreless relief today. But that’s what happens when you have a team trying to find its way. Tonight’s game was scoreless until the top of the fourth. Heriberto Hernandez started off the inning with a base on balls. Singles by Agustin Ramirez and Javier Sanoja loaded the bases. A wild pitch sent Hernandez home. Kyle Stowers then stroked a two-run si

Weekend Review: Jackson Kent Earns First Career Win in Victory over the Marlins Friday, August 28th Washington’s Jackson Kent picked up his first career victory tonight while pitching the Nationals to a 9 to 2 victory over the visiting Miami Marlins. The Marlins, however, did score first in the top of the 2nd. Javier Sanoja led off with a double to right field. Xavier Edwards followed with a single to right, scoring Sanoja. 1-0 Miami. The Nationals came back in the bottom of

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham is refusing to retreat from one of the most politically charged debates in American sports, standing by her position that transgender women should not compete in women’s athletics even as criticism, protests and an increasingly bitter WNBA culture fight surround her. Cunningham’s argument has been straightforward: she wants women’s sports protected on the basis of biological sex while maintaining that transgender people des

The Washington Nationals relied on some great relief pitching and timely hits to defeat the visiting Colorado Rockies 7 to 1. The two teams ended up splitting their four-game series. Washington starting pitcher Jake Irwin had a little trouble in the top of the 1st. He managed to walk the bases loaded, but the defense helped him out and the Rockies failed to score. The Nationals, however, did score a couple in the bottom of the inning. CJ Abrams and Dyland Crews started it off

In their first preseason game with the Dolphins, the Commanders controlled the line of scrimmage; that was not the case in their 17 - 13 loss to the Detroit Lions on Saturday August 22, in Detroit. The exhibition game could not have started any better for the Commanders. On the Lions’ initial series following the Kick off, Commanders Linebacker, Amik Robertson, forced a fumble when he came untouched on a blitz off the Left side and found a clear path to the Lions’ Quarterback

It’s getting kind of tough to watch… The Washington Nationals fell to the lowly Colorado Rockies 13 to 1 this evening in an obvious total blow out. The Nationals recorded their only run in tonight’s game when Andres Chaparro led off the bottom of the 2nd with his 9th home run. 1-0 Nats. The rest of the evening was all Colorado… The Rockies took the lead in the top of the 5th. Connor Norby led off the inning with a walk and came home courtesy of Troy Johnston’s 4th homer to ri

After yesterday’s thirteen-run outburst, things got back to normal in tonight’s game against the Colorado Rockies, as the Washington Nationals could only muster a single run on four hits, while striking out ten times. Colorado snapped their seven-game losing streak with tonight’s victory. The Rockies started the scoring in the top of the 4th as Hunter Goodman led off with a 432 ft. home run, his 35th, to center field. Goodman returned to the Rockies’ lineup tonight after spen

The Washington Nationals broke out of their offensive slump in a big way with a 13-3 victory over the visiting Colorado Rockies. We had a scoreless tie in tonight’s game until the top of the 4th inning. The Rockies’ Willi Castro broke that tie with his 15th home run to right field. 1-0 Colorado. The Rockies got another run in the top of the 5th when Ezequiel Tovar hit his 10th home run to center field. 2-0 Colorado. But the Nationals came back with a vengeance. They led off t

LOS ANGELES — The NBA is pushing back forcefully against an ESPN report claiming investigators found no evidence that Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer used team sponsors to funnel money to Kawhi Leonard in an effort to evade the league’s salary cap. The unusually public disagreement between the NBA and its biggest sports-media partner has injected fresh uncertainty into an investigation that has followed the Clippers and Leonard for nearly a year. ESPN reported on Aug

Friday, August 21st After leading most of the game, then losing the late lead, the Washington Nationals used a clutch hit in the ninth off the bat of Daylen Lile to tie the game with the Marlins. Then Miami closed it out in the bottom of the inning. Another tough loss for the Nats, but that’s just the way it’s been these past few weeks. Both teams started off slow, as neither ballclub scored during the first five innings. Brad Lord, Wil Dion, and Orlando Ribalta combined to s

Jacob deGrom pitched 6 scoreless innings for the Texas Rangers, surrendering only a single to Brady House in the second inning. deGrom walked just 1 batter and struck out 11. The Rangers scored the first run of the game in the bottom of the 3rd, as Corey Seager hit his 13th home run to center field. 1-0 Texas. Andrew Alvarez went 5 innings for the Nationals, given up 1 run on 5 hits and striking out 5. The Rangers added their second run in the bottom of the 8th. Ezequiel Dura

The Washington Nationals came back with a vengeance tonight with a 6-0 shutout of the Texas Rangers. Cade Cavalli pitched another gem, leading the way for the Nats. Andres Chaparro went 3 for 4 with a home run and 3 RBIs. Washington started tonight’s scoring in the top of the 3rd as Jose Tena smacked his 7th home run to center field. 1-0 Nats. The Nationals added a run in the top of the 4th. Andres Chaparro led off the inning with a double and came around to score after Keibe

The Washington Commanders played an outstanding game giving up just 7 points in their first exhibition game of the season, defeating the Dolphins on Friday, August 14, 20 – 7. The Dolphins scored their only points in the game on their opening drive, as they marched down the field, aided by 2 penalties and a spectacular one handed catch by Wide Receiver Caleb Douglas, on a pass from newly acquired Quarterback Malik Willis, to score a touchdown and their only points of the game

The Washington Nationals fell flat in the series opener tonight in Arlington, Texas. Three Ranger pitchers combined to shut down the Nats, 5-0. The Nats started off the top of the 1st with a double from CJ Abrams. That broke Abrams’ three-game hitless streak. But the next three batters didn’t deliver. The Rangers scored in the bottom of the inning as Wyatt Langford singled to center and went to 3rd on Corey Seager’s single to right. Jake Burger then scored Langford with a

Friday, August 14th After an encouraging showing against the Cubs last night, our Washington Nationals looked anything but encouraging tonight against the Mets. The Nationals managed only 5 hits and their 1 run was courtesy of a Mets’ error. Robert Stock started for the Mets. He performed quite well considering his 0-2 record and 10.12 ERA at the beginning of the night. Stack lasted 4 1/3 innings giving up 3 hits and 0 earned runs with 3 walks and 5 strike outs. Four reliever

Cade Cavalli pitched a masterpiece in this afternoon’s game, going 8 innings and giving up a single hit, while walking 2 and striking out 10. Cavalli surrendered only a bloop single to left field in the 7th inning off the bat of Cubs’ first baseman, Michael Busch. Chicago’s starter Kevin Gausman pitched into the 5th inning before the Nationals finally got their offense going. Neither team had a base runner through the first 3 innings. Only the second time that had happened in

The road to the NFL regular season begins under the lights as teams take the field for their first exhibition test of the season. After 2 weeks of training camp the teams in the National Football League begin playing the first of their 3 exhibition games this week in preparation for the 2026 -27 regular season that begins on Wednesday September 9th . The excitement commences when the New England Patriots take on the Seattle Seahawks in a rematch of Super Bowl LX won by the

Well, that little bit of momentum the Nationals thought they had after a three-game sweep of the Reds has come to a screeching halt with their second straight loss to the visiting Chicago Cubs. The Nationals actually started off the scoring in the bottom of the 2nd. Harry Ford singled to right and was followed by another single off the bat of Andrew Pinckney. Jacob Young hit into a force out that moved the runners up a base. Daylen Lile then ran out an infield single scoring

The Washington Nationals’ 3-game winning streak came to an end courtesy of the visiting Chicago Cubs. Each team slugged 3 home runs but the Cubs scored more total runs and went on to win the game 8 to 6. The game turned into a contest between their relief pitchers and ours. Each team used 4 hurlers from the bull pen. There’s were just a little better. The Nationals started fast in the bottom of the 1st. With 2 outs, Brady House singled to right field. CJ Abrams followed with

Friday, August 7th The Washington Nationals combined good fielding, hitting, and pitching for a 5-3 victory over the visiting Cincinnati Reds. Cade Cavalli got the win for the Nats, going 6 innings and giving up 7 hits and 3 runs with 8 strike outs. All the scoring for the Reds was courtesy of 3 solo home runs. Washington had a great performance from three relievers. A welcomed change. Yovanny Cruz, Orlando Ribalta, and Clayton Beeter shut out Cincinnati over the last 3 innin

The Washington Nationals finished a disastrous road trip through Atlanta and Philadelphia winning only yesterday’s game and losing the other seven. The journey started with an outside chance of making the playoffs, and ended with two starting infielders and their ace pitcher playing for different teams, and one of their All-Star outfielders on the injured list. Miles Mikolas took the mound tonight for the Nationals. He’s 3 and 9 for the year with a 5.89 ERA. Christopher Sanch

There are very few professional sports that created an infrastructure which by it’s very nature allows a team to go worst to first in a single season. Last season the New England Patriots did just that by winning their Division and the American Football Conference before losing 29-13 in Super Bowl LX to the Seattle Seahawks. Since 2002 with the new format, (8 - four team Divisions) twenty-seven teams have risen from last place to win their Division the following year. You mig
