The New York Yankees have locked in their twenty-six man Division Series roster, and the Bronx is buzzing heading into October baseball. With Ben Rice earning his spot after a strong showing in the Wild Card round against Boston, New York looks loaded and dangerous as the postseason field tightens up.
Shifting to the college gridiron, Mississippi State took a serious blow early against Alabama when running back Fluff Bothwell, second in the SEC in rushing yards, went down after just one carry with a lower-body injury. Losing your ground game against the Crimson Tide before it even gets started is about as rough a start as you can draw up.
And in women's basketball, Indiana Fever general manager Amber Cox came out swinging during her exit interview Saturday, pushing back hard against critics targeting the Fever fanbase. Cox was direct and unambiguous, saying the attacks have no basis in reality and need to stop. It's a strong public stance, and she clearly wasn't leaving that room without making it heard.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
