The New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers are playing at Dodger Stadium for the first time since 2019, and the historic rivalry is renewed with two of the three games due to be national broadcasts.Limited tickets remain available for the highly-anticipated series, and the Dodgers are also offering unique All-Access experiences to Saturday's matchup.

I've lost track of the amount of times we've written about how an upcoming game or stretch of games is critical for the Toronto Raptors this season.Since the end of December, we've all been waiting for the team to make a push, and time and again, they've fallen short.After going 1-4 on their recent road trip, well, the Raptors are pretty much out of time.

Eight days later, Denver and Toronto meet again after the most talked about matchup last week due to a ref screwjob (or if you want to get specific, Scott Foster).If you missed that, I wrote about it here.Foster won't be doing this game.The Raptors play seven over their next eight games at home, hosting three West opponents in a row.

Despite rumors of potential deals, veteran guard Derrick Rose was not dealt during the trade deadline and remains a Knick.That being said, that doesn't necessarily mean that the former MVP will stay here.Sources closes to the situation revealed that, while Rose hasn't asked the team for one, a buyout is still possible.

Russell Westbrook is staying in Los Angeles but switching teams, going from the Lakers to the Clippers by way of Utah.So what does that mean for the other players on the Clippers?Who will be most impacted, and which players will see their role change the most?Here are André Snellings, Eric Moody, Eric Karabell, Jim McCormick, John Cregan and Steve Alexander to explain.

1968
The White Sox sell slugger Rocky Colavito to the Dodgers.Colavito had been acquired from Cleveland for help in the 1967 pennant race, but finished his career-worst full season adding little to the thin South Side offense - an 85 OPS+ over 60 games.Los Angeles would end up releasing him on July 11.

After finalizing a contract buyout with the Utah Jazz, 11-year veteran Russell Westbrook is joining the Los Angeles Clippers, according to Adrian Wojnarowski.Prior to the end of the trade deadline, the nine-time All-Star guard was dealt from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Utah Jazz and will now suit up for the Lakers' crosstown counterparts.

Perhaps someone should alert the Wizards: It's permissible under the rules of basketball to play well on both offense and defense in the same game.So far this season, they've had stretches where the defense was good and the offense was bad, stretches where offense was good and the defense bad, and stretches where they were bad on both ends.

Rams fans should be ashamed of themselves.At least 60% of the stadium in the 49ers game was red.Shameful.:: As a lifelong Rams fan, and season-ticket holder since they returned to L.A., recent showings by so-called Rams fans who sell their tickets to opposing teams fans such as the 49ers, Cowboys and very likely Raiders fans, is mostly for greed.

The trade deadline came and went without any Miami Heat move.The OG Anunoby pipe dream didn't materialize.Rumors about a breakdown in the Kyle Lowry/Heat relationship grew so loud that Jimmy Butler addressed them last night.After all that, Lowry is still with the Heat today.Jimmy Butler on Kyle Lowry rumors: I told Kyle you got to control what you can control.

Ahead of the season, Paul George selflessly said, "Kawhi is the No. 1.And I am totally fine with that.I think I try to complement him with being able to take the load off of him."And for most of the early season, he was wrong.Kawhi Leonard, to many's dislike, missed more games than anticipated and, even in the games that he did play, looked abysmal.

The Los Angeles Clippers showed what it should look like when it all comes together, as they downed the Los Angeles Lakers 133-115 on their own floor.Ty Lue's squad had 77 points by half time and, though the home team made a late LeBron James-inspired run to keep themselves within touching distance, this game was only ever going one way - same as it ever was.

Behind 61 combined points from Terance Mann and Kawhi Leonard, the Los Angeles Clippers took down the Houston Rockets 121-100.With just over a month until the All-Star Game, The Crypt saw the same levels of defense we'll likely be seeing in Salt Lake City, as both teams scored over 60 points in the first half.

During a training camp that now feels much longer than two months ago, the Clippers, at that time fully healthy, believed the sheer depth of their loaded roster could forestall the ups and downs that come with a long season's inevitable injuries.Yet the absences of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George and last season's leading three-point shooter, Luke Kennard, create no mere dent in a lineup.

Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, John Wall, Reggie Jackson, Norman Powell, Marcus Morris Sr. - ahead of the 2022-23 NBA season, the Los Angeles Clippers looked unstoppable.But as the clichéd saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover.Despite having two superstars and arguably the deepest roster in the league, they weren't devoid of flaws - if anything, it was clear that they were full of deficiencies.

The Los Angeles Clippers sit at 6-5 on the season, while the Lakers sit at 2-8, but if you thought that told the whole story, you'd be sorely mistaken.Tyronn Lue and Darvin Ham have both had their fair share of disappointment to deal with to start the season, though the former's problems will seem insignificant compared to the latter.

Tyronne Lue eased to his seat, plopped down to do his pregame news conference before Monday night's game against the Houston Rockets and smiled.Before taking any questions, the Clippers coach offered this:
"Starters tonight - Reggie Jackson, Luke Kennard, Paul George, Marcus Morris [Sr.] and [Ivica] Zubac," Lue said.

2008 For the first time, the White Sox played an extra game to get into the postseason.2016 White Sox lefthander Carlos Rodón tied the franchise and the American League record by striking out the first seven Twins hitters in a game at U.S. Cellular Field.Hitting home runs from both sides of the plate in the same game has only happened six times in franchise history, and Valentínis responsible for three of them!1956 In the season-ending game at Kansas City, pitcher Jim Derrington became the youngest person to ever appear in a game wearing a White Sox uniform.
