The biggest sporting event on the planet is not the Olympics - it's not even close. It's the World Cup, specifically the men's World Cup. (While the women's World Cup has grown dramatically in the past two decades and regularly bests the men's World Cup in American television ratings, in terms of revenue and scope I'm sad to say it's also not even close.) There is no sporting event like the World Cup.

On Tuesday, the Athletics, Pirates and Red Sox became the first three teams to play their 81st games of the season. Every other club will reach that point by the end of the week.

The superstar always has some sort of drama happening. At the end of this month, it will be nine years since he made his notorious decision to join the Golden State Warriors in free agency, and we’ve been talking about him nonstop since.

El resto de la División Oeste de la Liga Nacional estaba empezando a acercarse sigilosamente a los Dodgers en las últimas dos semanas. Pero incluso con su habitual racha de lesiones de lanzadores, están empezando a parecerse a sí mismos de nuevo, como dejó ver Shohei Ohtani el domingo, cuando brilló en la loma y con el bate en una actuación que nos recordó a sus tiempos gloriosos en Anaheim. ¿Podrán los Tigres, que han ocupado el puesto número 1 durante cuatro semanas, contenerlos?
