    Blue Jays' Kevin Pillar suspended two games for anti-gay slur
    Toronto Blue Jays center fielder Kevin Pillar was suspended two games for yelling an anti-gay slur at an Atlanta Braves pitcher. The Blue Jays suspended Pillar without pay shortly after he apologized in a statement, saying he was ‘‘completely and utterly embarrassed’’ by the word he directed at Jason Motte. Pillar was angry at Motte for allegedly quick-pitching him to get a strikeout that ended the seventh inning in Atlanta’s 8-4 victory Wednesday night. Replays appeared to show Pillar using th..

    Ducks need to do a better job of staying out of the box in crucial moments
    “I do feel like we’re paying the price for running relatively lean in our scouting department.” The above quote (per Fox Sports Arizona) was from former Coyotes GM Don Maloney back in 2014, talking about how the club’s ownership issues — and, subsequently, his limited budget — resulted in a patchwork, skeleton scouting staff, and bad draft results. Two years later, Maloney was fired. His replacement, John Chayka, has since set about correcting one of the major issues that plagued his predecesso..

    5 teams that need to nail the NBA Draft, ranked
    The Lakers could survive drafting a bust in June. The purple and gold are likely going to acquire Paul George's services next summer, and they already have quite a few promising young players on the roster. Plus, things always seem to work out for the Lakers one way or the other. If they take Lonzo Ball and he flops, so be it. Los Angeles will move on to the next big thing hardly worse for the wear. But if the oldest Ball brother is the star LaVar says he is, then the Lakers are about to embark..

    "Now, I’ve gotta remind you Kevin Love didn’t play that night, and J.R. Smith didn’t play that night -- just for the record, I got it -- but you have to get LeBron James … forgive me for bringing this back up … but you have to get him in a late-game freeze-up situation where you’re going to make him make a choice. I’m not sure they’re good enough to get him where they got him on March 1. Remember that night? He turned down a 3-point shot and then he turned down a freight train drive shot when J..

    It seems bloody hard to name a horse, to work within the stingy limit of 18 characters, to forge something original and evocative. In that vein, the name of Kentucky Derby champion Always Dreaming has snared some fancy, especially in a sport rife with dreaming that is both statistically unrealistic and occasionally prescient.Just after the Kentucky Derby, then, the microphone at the news conference microphone went to the side of the room to Mary Ellen Bonomo, who is among Always Dreaming's owne..
