A Losing Streak is About to End: The Yeshiva University baseball team is pitting its 99-game losing streak against Lehman College and its 42-game losing streak this afternoon. The loser will still have a long way to go to break the collegiate record of 228 games, set by Caltech in 2013. Yeshiva's coach, athletic director and players all refused to comment.

NBA Pickem Week 22: All the Marbles: There are nine games to pick in the final five days of the NBA season, beginning with Kings/Pistons Monday night on NBA TV. My lead in the standings has shrunk by 25. Ufez is only nine back. Locking the Magic to beat the Mavericks out of bitterness led to a 15-point swing against me. Make your picks.

Not the Same Bat Time or the Same Bat Channel: The New York Yankees opened the 2025 season by hitting a record 15 home runs in their first three games. Nine were hit by players using a new bat design dubbed the bowling pin or torpedo bat. "This bat is just trying to say: What if we put the mass where the ball is going to hit so that we have an optimized equation of mass and velocity?" said bat whisperer Scott Drake.

I didn't expect this news. If you get Canada's dander up they will spare no expense to keep what's theirs.

I'm watching basketball all day because I'm in a fantasy basketball championship on Yahoo. Is Luke Kornet always this much fun?

Gonna root for Oklahoma City and Indiana in the playoffs. Even if I was rooting for Dallas they won't make it out of the play-in.

Can't believe he got kicked out for that.
Can't believe that hat is necessary.

I turned off the ads that display atop the page you requested when you click a link (Google calls them "vignettes"). Let me know if you still see them.

That's a ginormous amount of money. I wonder how many years it will take for that to seem like a great deal financially.

If all goes according to plan I'll be in the stands at the Thunder vs. Nuggets game on Sunday.
Didn't expect a blowout in that one.

I was at that game in 1999. It was the first Jags game I'd ever attended. Half the crowd was Dolphins fans, even among the locals because many had followed them for decades. At the tailgate we booed bus after bus of their fans driving past.
I haven't seen a pro team come up bigger in a big game in person. The rout sent both Johnson and Marino into retirement.
Johnson was alright as a TV guy but I would've liked to see him give coaching some more time. The Dolphins made the playoffs in his final three years and went 11-5 the first two years after he left.

Before wishing for that I need to know if there's another rickety pal of Nico's in his thirties on the trading block in the offseason.

Feels like Boston is going to rest a bunch of players tonight.
