Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker had a lot to say after umpire Jerry Layne got in Jeremy Pena’s face for no good reason. Jerry Layne was on one Tuesday night. While most would think fans at Minute Maid Park came out to watch the Houston Astros face the Minnesota Twins, apparently it was all about the ump show.

When Shohei Ohtani reaches free agency — should he not be traded by the Los Angeles Angels first, which seems very unlikely at the moment — he’ll receive a contract north of $500 million, in all likelihood. Ohtani has earned that deal considering he’s a two-way talent, and a former MVP. Ohtani is essentially two players in one, and even if he has a down year in one department, can still hit like a home run king, or pitch like a Cy Young winner on any given night.

The 2022 NFL Offensive Player of the Year is apparently getting ready to make some kind of headlines, at least according to one source. Minnesota Vikings’ All-Pro wide receiver Justin Jefferson is coming off a career year. However, the 23-year-old performer has been a no-show when it comes to the club’s OTAs to date.

Game 1 of the 2023 NBA Finals starts on Thursday, June 1. Here is how fans can win a free burrito from Chipotle throughout the series. The 2023 NBA Finals have finally arrived, and just two teams remain. The Miami Heat made it out of the Eastern Conference after clinching the No. 8 seed in the play-in tournament and getting past the Milwaukee Bucks, New York Knicks, and Boston Celtics. Representing the Western Conference are the Denver Nuggets, who sent the Minnesota Timberwolves, Phoenix Suns, and Los Angeles Lakers home to make it to the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history.

Boston, MA

The Miami Heat ran the Boston Celtics out of the gym in Game 7, in part due to Jaylen Brown’s struggles. Caleb Martin piled on Brown after the game. Caleb Martin was one vote away from winning Eastern Conference Finals MVP. There hasn’t been a more improbable individual postseason run in a minute. Martin, who averaged 9.6 points in the regular season, averaged 19.3 points against the Celtics. His red-hot shooting from distance (48.9 percent) was a central factor in multiple Heat victories.

Caleb Martin and the Heat aren’t done trolling Jaylen Brown and the Celtics

The Boston Celtics season ended far sooner than they were hoping and another postseason disappointment may be setting up an offseason of big changes. As the Miami Heat knocked off the Milwaukee Bucks and New York Knicks, it appeared a path was opening for the Celtics to return to the NBA Finals and finish what they started last year. But it turns out, like New York and Milwaukee before them, they didn’t have any answers for Jimmy Butler or the Heat either.

Kentucky basketball may boast one of the top recruiting classes in 2023, but their transfer portal class stinks. What’s John Calipari’s game plan for fixing this one?.

Augusta, GA

A 36-year-old man from Augusta was recently arrested in Coffee County after a drug detective reportedly witnessed him strike a woman in a vehicle. The altercation, according to the victim, stemmed from her forgetting money to purchase drinks. Detectives also reported discovering suspected methamphetamine on the suspect, Brandon Durden, and other drug-related objects inside the vehicle, leading to additional charges.

Buffalo, NY

The Buffalo Sabres latest signee, Ryan Johnson, appeared to be heading straight for free agency, but he shocked us and signed with the Blue and Gold. While 2022 first round picks Matt Savoie, Noah Ostlund, and Jiri Kulich signed mere weeks after the Buffalo Sabres drafted them, 2019 first round pick Ryan Johnson waited until just last week before signing. And while Johnson opted to play four seasons in college, he concerned many fans by waiting for a few weeks before he put pen to paper.

A 39-year-old Douglas man was recently charged after he allegedly managed to sneak suspected cocaine into a patrol car by stuffing the substance in his pants. At the time of his arrest, the suspect, Bobby Sharon Marshall, had only been out of prison for 18 days.

The St. Louis Cardinals decided to bring back one player who brought excitement to the team earlier in the season. The St. Louis Cardinals had a rough start to the season, with the team looking to figure out some solutions to turn things around. There was the benching of Willson Contreras, only to return as the team’s starting catcher a week later. But after the Cardinals’ series win over the Los Angeles Dodgers in mid-May, they have not won a series since (vs. Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Guardians, and Kansas City Royals).

It was not surprising that some George Mason University graduates walked out during Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin's commencement speech on Thursday, May 18, 2023. That's because Mason's College Democrats appear to have organized the walkout and petitioned against him being their speaker.
