Mets run out of playoff magic as Dodgers send them packing
LOS ANGELES — Thank you for the memories. On Sunday night, OMG, Grimace, and Playoff Pumpkin were all in the past tense. That's because a Mets team that defied expectations for much of the season couldn't find another miracle. Sean Manaea was hit early, and the Mets didn't have much to do after losing 10-5 […]
Rangers’ playoff tunnel vision is already showing
MONTREAL — The Rangers have a natural one-track attitude ever since they fell two wins short of reaching the Stanley Cup Final for the second time in three years. That makes everything about this 4-0-1 start seem inconsequential, both good and bad. Even though nothing important happens until April, it's easy to get chilly in […]
Tennessee upsets Alabama in SEC thriller; second loss of season puts Crimson Tide’s playoff hopes in jeopardy
The showdown between No. 7 Alabama and No. 11 Tennessee in the Southeastern Conference was one of the most anticipated college football games in Week 8.

Giancarlo Stanton building historic Yankees playoff résumé
CLEVELAND — Giancarlo Stanton beat out Orlando Hernandez to become the late starter. He's been good in the regular season, very good at times, but always leaves a feeling that he could have done more. Then October comes and there's more to come. Stanton showed during this period that he was ready to compete with […]
Steve Cohen, David Stearns appear ready to meet Mets playoff challenge they still face
The key is persistence. That was also a trick. Since 1962, the Mets have qualified for the playoffs only twice. Their 2015 World Series appearance helped them stay one game out of the 2016 wild-card play-in. They were also participants in the 1999 NLCS and are backed by the 2000 World Series runner-up. They have […]

Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce attend Yankees playoff game in New York
Taylor Swift's entrance into Arrowhead Stadium to watch Travis Kelce usually brings a lot of fanfare before, during and after a Kansas City Chiefs game.

Jets’ playoff chase a historic task after coaching change
Jets guard John Simpson had flashbacks last Tuesday when he heard the news that the team had waived Robert Saleh. Simpson was with the Raiders in 2021, a team that lost head coach Jon Gruden after the first five games of that season. Gruden was not fired, but resigned after leaked emails contained racist, misogynistic […]
