Here are some of the big takeaways from the week. Big auction action Prior to Monterey Car Week,… Source link

You can never have too many friends. You can never have too much pizza. You can never have too many guitars. You can never have enough pitching, either. That goes for real-life baseball and the fake-stat-grab baseball we love so much. So count me in on Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin, with a high level of excitement. He’s coming back from a shoulder injury and has been fine in three short rehab outings (10.1 IP, 6 H, 4 ER, 3 BB, 9 K). The real selling point is what he’s done in 86.2… Source link

Has the Ian Happ breakout finally arrived? There’s been a respectable level of hype following Ian Happ ever since he was selected in the first round of the 2015 Amateur Draft. Considered a top prospect by many pundits with explosive speed and power, Happ rose quickly through the Cubs system and got promoted to the Majors in 2017. Since then, however, his story has been mired in minor flashes of greatness, but with mostly just acceptable production. Happ was drafted in the 14th round of Yahoo… Source link

Acquire Jack Eichel while his value is as low as it’s going to get. (Getty) This weekend the NHL will host two games at beautiful Lake Tahoe. The first game on Saturday will feature the Vegas Golden Knights and the Colorado Avalanche while Sunday’s matinee will see the Boston Bruins battle the Philadelphia Flyers. Obviously outdoor games are nothing new for the NHL and, at times, they’ve been overdone. The idea to host games at this type of venue, however, is pure genius. There’s… Source link

The Pittsburgh Steelers fell to 11-3 on Monday night after their 27-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Pittsburgh had a chance to lock up the AFC North with a win but instead will go into the final two games of the regular season in a race with the Cleveland Browns for what will likely end up the No. 3 seed in the AFC. Here are our big takeaways from the loss. The defense can’t stay out of its own way Joseph Maiorana-USA TODAY Sports All night long the Steelers would take one step forward on… Source link

Apple CEO Tim Cook, on the other hand, got off pretty lightly. Despite some early… Source link
