The Vegas Golden Knights took home the 2023 Stanley Cup on Tuesday night.That means that no competitive advantage remains to be gained and all of the playoff injury horror stories can now be made public.Perhaps the biggest of all those stories pertains to Florida Panthers superstar Matthew Tkachuk.Tkachuk played sparingly in Florida's Game Four loss to Vegas and missed Game Five altogether and now we know why.

White Flight Stadium has been a house of horrors for the Mets for some time now, but the home of the Braves outdid itself Tuesday night, first with a rain delay that didn't actually feature rain - they watered the goddamn infield when guys could have been playing on it - and then with horrible things happening to the Mets, who lost 6-4 in a game that felt more like 60-4 when it was mercifully over.

The White Sox embark on a six-game road trip against the Dodgers and Mariners starting Tuesday night, and they're going to need that good bullpen of theirs.You know, the good one they've featured in the last four-plus weeks, not the one that blew leads to the Marlins on consecutive days, sending the Sox (29-38) out of town on a down note but trailing the first-place Twins by only 4 ½ games in the sad-sacked AL Central.
