The Yankees returned home Thursday night and proceeded to have one of their worst games of the season, as they gave up nine runs to the Twins in the first inning and went on to lose the game, 11–2.
They did make some franchise history in the ugly performance, but it wasn’t the kind of history you want to make.
Isiah Kiner-Falefa, a utility player who has played both the infield and outfield this season, came in to pitch in the ninth inning of a 10-run game. His second pitch of his first-ever appearance on the mound was the slowest pitch ever recorded by the team.

The NFL dominates television ratings with its games during the season and its made-for-television events in the offseason. And among the league’s biggest offseason events is the draft.
Well, this year the draft will get plenty of intended and unintended attention, as it is televised on NFL Network, ABC, ESPN and ESPN Deportes. It can also be heard nationwide on Westwood One Radio, SiriusXM NFL Radio and ESPN Radio.
And all of it — all seven rounds over three days on April 27-29 — will be sponsored by Bud Light.
Yes, that Bud Light.

LSU’s BJ Olujari is a stand-up rush linebacker defenses covet in the 2023 NFL Draft
One of the strongest position groups in the 2023 NFL Draft is edge rusher. You’ve heard all the names at the top by now: Alabama’s Will Anderson Jr., Texas Tech’s Tyree Wilson, Clemson’s Myles Murphy, and more. But what about the tier of prospects behind them? It’s a big group with a lot of talent, and one of the most interesting players of all is LSU’s BJ Ojulari.
The second inning of the Tigers – Blue Jays game on Thursday night was none too kind to Detroit shortstop Javier Baez.
The 30-year-old was benched after not one, but two boneheaded mistakes during back-to-back at-bats.
Baez hit a rope during his first plate appearance on Thursday night and decided to admire his hit thinking that it was a home run. He was slow out of the batter’s box and only made his way to second after the ball ultimately hit the top of the wall.
Standing on second, Akil Baddoo came to the plate and lined out to center field.
While the Kentucky Derby is the most well-known horse race in the world, the Grand National race that takes place in England each year has nearly 40 more years of history and is far more dangerous. One animal rights group appears to have finally seen enough out of the Grand National and is planning a massive disruption during this weekend’s race.
The Grand National consists of nearly 40 horses running 4.3 miles and jumping 30 fences along the way. The Derby is run at just 1.25 miles at Churchill Downs each year.

Here’s what you need to know about the new Commanders owners.
Our long national nightmare is finally coming to a close: Dan Snyder’s ass is on the way out of the NFL. Months of drawn out “will he or won’t he?” regarding the sale of the Washington Commanders came to a close on Thursday with the news that a $6 billion deal had been reached to sell the Commanders to an ownership group led by Josh Harris.
This is cause for mammoth celebration across the DC metro area.
The NFL has changed dramatically over the past five years.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes went from an unknown to unstoppable. Tom Brady—finally—retired. The Bengals are an annual force. It’s a world upside down.
So how did everything change, and where is the league going? We attempted to gauge answers for both of those questions.
We wanted to look at which teams not only have found quality players in the draft over the past five seasons, but which teams have turned those talents into wins.
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney believes preseason games make a lot of sense in college football.
There’s been some growing momentum to shake things up ahead of the regular season. One of the interesting plans floated by Hugh Freeze is for teams to play other in-state teams in a preseason game.
Dabo Swinney is all for putting the pads on against other teams for preseason matchups.

“I’d love it. I’ve said that a million years. I’d love to play somebody in the fall.
Colorado athletic director Rick George denied a vote will happen in the coming days to leave the PAC-12.
There’s been reporting and speculation the Buffaloes could be getting ready to cut ties with the PAC-12 and split for the Big 12 amid the lack of a new media deal for George Kliavkoff’s conference. Colorado was previously in the Big 12 before joining the west coast conference.
If Colorado does leave for the PAC-12, it could kick off a massive exodus. One of the PAC-12’s biggest fears is the first domino falling.
Could it be Colorado in the coming days? It doesn’t sound likely.
President Joe Biden seems to think rugby is a superior sport to football.
As anyone reading this knows, football is hardwired into the DNA of this beautiful country we call home. Winning Super Bowls and college football national titles is what separates us from the soulless communists around the world.
In this country, we celebrate and defend football at all costs….well, unless you’re the man who runs the White House. Then, you go overseas and endorse rugby over America’s most popular sport.
