Dave Roberts has made history in Los Angeles. The Dodgers manager became the fastest skipper in Major League Baseball history to reach one thousand career wins after his club dismantled the Athletics nine to three on Tuesday night. It is a milestone that speaks to just how dominant that franchise has been under his watch.
Shifting to the global stage, Mexico is rolling at the World Cup and they are doing it at home. El Tri have won all four of their group stage matches without conceding a single goal, and they are doing it at the Azteca, one of the most intimidating venues in world football. England could be their next opponent in the round of sixteen, and the Mexican fans are already dreaming about it.
And back stateside, the LeBron James sweepstakes took a genuinely wild turn this week. After news broke of his departure from the Lakers, several NFL franchises, yes, football teams, jumped into the conversation on social media. The Buffalo Bills, New York Jets, Houston Texans, and Green Bay Packers all made their pitches. It is the internet doing what it does, but the underlying story of where LeBron lands next is very real.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
