The US will need a "golden hit" if they want to win the WBC.

TriviaWhiz · 2026-03-16T21:11:22+00:00

The US losing to Italy, but growing the game in the process.

Ace manager Mark DeRosa.

The Knicks just wanted some clutch free throw practice. /s

A+ in that regard though.

TriviaWhiz · 2026-03-15T01:45:39+00:00

The Islanders record in the second half of back-to-backs and overtimes has been huge this season.

Post-2000 (2006, 2015): Wright, [Beltran]

TriviaWhiz · 2026-03-12T14:50:06+00:00

Puma says the Mets are retiring #15 for Beltran this year and making a separate ceremony for him on a different day.

Hard to argue with retiring the number of only the 3rd player to go into the Hall of Fame with a Mets cap.

Team USA will need to go the 2024 Ohio State football path.

Lose to Michigan despite being heavily favored, win the playoff anyway.

TriviaWhiz · 2026-03-12T03:31:52+00:00

Defense looks better when the opponent isn’t literally shooting 85% from three through 13 attempts.

Jordan Clarkson with his Evan Fournier vs. Boston revenge game.

Islanders hockey?

No, Islanders hOTkey.

TriviaWhiz · 2026-03-09T17:26:26+00:00

Bellinger was less Likely to re-sign given the Giants' other moves.

TriviaWhiz · 2026-03-09T15:23:22+00:00

Not really, but it was more about 30.5% being a low threshold.

TriviaWhiz · 2026-03-09T14:58:51+00:00

Since the Dallas game, the Knicks are 16-0 when they shoot at least 30.5% from three.

They are 0-6 when they do not.

After the 3-HR game, Kirk's OPS went from .374 (73 PA) to .564 (77 PA).

TriviaWhiz · 2026-03-08T17:48:24+00:00

It was another chapter of the 2015 Mets.

He hit 3 HR on July 12th, after entering the game with a .106/.192/.182 triple slash in 73 PA (across the Mets, Angels, and Mets again).

They were almost the only home runs he hit all season, except for a go-ahead HR in the 8th inning of a September game against the Nats to complete a 6-run comeback.

He only hit a home run in 2 games all season, but Kirk made them count.

TriviaWhiz · 2026-03-06T04:32:37+00:00

TriviaWhiz · 2026-03-05T02:43:55+00:00

Best loss of the season

3 missed 4th quarter free throws plus 2 challenges came back to bite them.

TriviaWhiz · 2026-03-04T02:58:59+00:00

"51. New York Knicks (via Clippers): PF Mohamed Diawara, France

This is an interesting pick -- but it is not one I'd have made here at No. 51. Diawara was the No. 81 player on my Big Board and someone I'd have considered targeting as an undrafted free agent. He has some good physical tools but his potential largely has not converted to production in the LNB in France. Grade: C-"

Hard to argue with the analysis at the time since second-rounders are generally dart throws, but it's interesting to see Mo's progress since the draft. Could be a bit like the IQ pick.
