The Los Angeles Dodgers announced starting pitcher Emmet Sheehan underwent season-ending UCL surgery on his right elbow. The surgery was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache. Sheehan has been on the injured list all season after experiencing shoulder soreness. He was favored to be the fifth starter in the rotation but went on the shelf on March 9 and hasn’t pitched since. The 24-year-old was a major contributor to the starting rotation last year. In his rookie year, Sheehan appeared in 13 games and started 11. He had a 4.92 ERA and 64 strikeouts in 60.1 innings. Sheehan’s setback makes the Dodgers list of injured pitchers even longer. Los Angeles is still waiting on Clayton Kershaw, Tony Gonsolin, and Dustin May to come back from injuries. Walker Buehler just returned for the first time in two years, and Shohei Ohtani won’t pitch for the Dodgers until next season. While there is no timeline for his return, it’s safe to assume Sheehan will miss the start of next season as well.

Queens, NY

On Thursday, New York Mets owner Steve Cohen clarified that he isn't yet thinking about a second-straight summer fire sale despite the club's on-the-field struggles over the past week. Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns echoed Cohen's words ahead of New York's 6-5 extra-innings win at the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. "We’re not anywhere close to having discussions like that," Stearns said about the club's possible trade-deadline strategy, per Robert Sanchez of SNY. "We’re in mid-May. We’re focused every single day on trying to win baseball games. From a trade deadline strategy discussion, that’s something that we’ve got months to figure...

Detroit, MI

Javier Baez, what would you say...you do here?That's the question Detroit Tigers owner Christopher Ilitch should be asking the man once known as "El Mago."Either that, or "where's my $25 million?"It was no secret that former general manager Al Avila strapped Detroit to a terrible contract when he signed Baez to a six-year, $140 million contract in 2021. Baez was once arguably the hottest player in the game who earned the nickname comparing him to a magician, but his first two years in Detroit were more trick than treat. Now that he's fully settled into his new digs, "El Mago"...

Javier Baez still being on the Tigers is an inditement against team owner

Green Bay, WI

A year ago, it felt like the Green Bay Packers were heading into a bit of a rebuilding season for the first time in a while.The Packers had moved on from Aaron Rodgers as their longtime starting quarterback and replaced him with an unproven young passer in Jordan Love. Most assumed Green Bay was going to take a step back in 2023 with Love leading the offense.But then the actual games were played, and after only winning two of their first seven matchups, the Packers got things on track and finished the 2023 regular season with a 7-3 record in...

I first encountered a rat one evening in a Target parking lot. When my daughter told me it was a rat, I went straight to the car and she went to get a photo of it since she's never seen one before. I assure you it wasn't little.

Many people have lost faith in the news and question truth from all comers. The idea of a universal truth, outside of the sky being blue and that one plus one equals two, seems to be more and more elusive. One thing that everyone can agree on, however, is that cats are the world's greatest pets. Dogs are fine, sure, but they aren't cats. Fish are kind of fun to look at...for like five minutes. Cats though? No fact check needed. They're the best.

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

With the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Washington Commanders selected LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels.It was a decision that was expected by most and one that third-year wide receiver Jahan Dotson was hoping for."I don't know if I can say this, but that's the quarterback that I wanted," Dotson said, via Grant Gordon of NFL.com. "I was happy when we drafted him, I'm really looking forward to building a relationship with him, furthering our relationship, as I've known him in the past, but he's been good so far. He's only been here a couple days now,...
