Juan Soto’s clutch hit and a ‘big boy’ performance power Mets past Dodgers
NEW YORK — On the way to the dugout after crossing home plate, New York Mets catcher Luis Torrens tapped Juan Soto, the next batter, on the chest and told him, “Let’s go.”Bases loaded. Two outs. Tie score. All in a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, enders of the Mets’ magical run last year, winners of the World Series.Advertisement“It was the perfect moment,” Torrens said, “so I just wanted to give him a little something extra.”Soto took it from there. On the fifth pitch of an at-bat against Tony Gonsolin, Soto struck a splitter loudly for a two-run double off the center-field wall. After that key hit in the fourth inning, the Mets never looked back on Saturday night at Citi Field and beat the Dodgers 5-2. They recovered from a grueling, 13-inning loss the night before with a […]
Is Angel Reese soft? Her latest action has sparked criticism from everyone around the league
WNBA star Angel Reese has sparked discussion after declining a one-on-one basketball challenge from sports commentator Clay Travis, who proposed a televised pay-per-view match with $100,000 at stake. The contest, according to Travis, was intended to raise millions for charity, but Reese opted not to engage, instead blocking Travis on X on Friday night. Her decision has fueled debate online, with some calling it a missed opportunity while others see it as a way to avoid unnecessary controversy.Travis issued the challenge earlier in the week, suggesting the winner would take home $100,000-a figure higher than Reese's current WNBA salary. The game was pitched as an entertainment spectacle with charitable benefits, but Reese made it clear she wasn't interested. Her decision came after a rough on-court performance where she struggled offensively, going 0-for-8 from the field and scoring just two points.Caitlin […]

Why are some Premier League teams wearing next season’s kit?
Memories of trophy-winning sides are often tied to the shirts they wore.Before every World Cup, orders for replicas of England’s 1966 World Cup-winning shirt skyrocket. Its relationship with the national team’s greatest success ensures it remains relevant, even if most of the fans buying it were born long after Bobby Moore lifted the trophy.Even designs from 1990, England’s best World Cup performance between 1966 and 2018, are fondly remembered for their association with the relative success of reaching a semi-final, despite the team being knocked out by West Germany.
