Gerrit Cole pushes Yankees’ pitching to unreal level in rout of White Sox
NY Post
The Yankees’ starting pitchers put the team on their backs while spinning 23 straight scoreless innings through Friday.
Saturday, the bats finally joined the party — and Gerrit Cole, though not at his sharpest early, also took the pitching dominance to historic levels. Cole delivered another seven shutout innings and Gleyber Torres led the offense once again as the Yankees breezed to their fifth straight win, 7-0, over the White Sox at Yankee Stadium.
It was only a three-second glimpse, but Matt Rempe, finally, showcased offensive strides. The ones he started talking about in the preseason — after a summer’s worth of work — and kept doubling down on, even when he fluctuated in and out of the Rangers lineup and shuttled back and forth to AHL Hartford.

I’d never quite seen anything like the 19-game stretch bridging November and December in which the Rangers won four and lost 15 in regulation.
In a different time, in a season to come, we may be inclined to wax poetic about the way this one played out. In a different time, in a season to come, the Nets will be seeking to stack wins and not losses, will be fighting for playoff seeding and not for a few extra ping-pong balls in the draft lottery this spring.
The Jets spent Tuesday huddling with their top choices for their head coach and general manager openings but still had not closed a deal with them as of Tuesday night.

The NBA has an All-Star Game problem. Despite Adam Silver’s efforts to inject juice into the February showcase — including a format alteration to the 2025 game that is too confusing to attempt to understand before it’s inevitably changed again — there’s little interest in watching teams eschew defense for a series of layup line highlights. That also means the most entertaining part of the NBA All-Star Game is just like the Pro Bowl — debating over who should get a spot.
