Tinkering with the Yankees' ALCS Roster
After an impressive win in the American League Division Series against the Indians, Joe Girardi is a good manager again! Like many baseball fans were last Friday after Game 2, we will be playing “manager” as the Yankees set themselves up for the American League Championship Series against the Houston Astros. There are a quite a few things to consider, but before we do, let’s have New York’s ALDS roster on hand for reference:

Why Al Horford Could Be the Key to the Celtics' Offense
After last season's first-place Eastern Conference regular-season finish, the Celtics somehow still gave their roster a complete and utter makeover. This team made so many moves that last year's first-round pick Jaylen Brown is the fifth-longest tenured Celtic on the team. Despite the team's new look, they're still expected to get better and possibly take down the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Conference Finals. Those high expectations may hinge on Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward both living up to the hype on their new team, but it could be Al Horford that helps Boston reach their full potential on the offensive side of the ball.

It's Time To Talk About Fenway
Fenway Park is quite the odd beast. The Pesky Pole sits only 302 feet from home plate with about a four-foot high wall separating the fans from the field, and the Green Monster is, well, the Green Monster. The strange dimensions of Fenway have led to some memorable moments — Fisk waving it fair, Ortiz's incredible grand slam, etc. And now, we have Fenway to thank for possibly drastically changing the outcome of the ALDS.

The USMNT Won't Be in the 2018 World Cup
The USMNT was eliminated from making the 2018 World Cup after losing to Trinidad 2-1. The last time the U.S. Men’s soccer team didn’t make the World Cup was ten years before I was born in 1986. The 1990 World Cup ended a drought of 40 years, and if the U.S. is headed in that direction with soccer, Lord help us all.

One More Big Hit from Carlos Beltran
The Houston Astros and Boston Red Sox just wrapped up the end of their American League Division Series, with Houston coming on top by winning three games to one. The fact that the series did not go the distance will suggest, in hindsight, that there wasn’t much to it in terms of drama. This would be an oversight, as anyone who watched the whole series would tell you.
