ESPN’s Bob Baffert-Alex Rodriguez cheating contradiction
NY Post
Hardly matters what you order, it now will be served with a topping of preposterous and a side of ridiculous.
Sunday night, as the Phillies played the Braves, ESPN’s ceaseless, repetitive, attention-diverting scroll ensured that every few minutes we read that Bob Baffert had been charged with scandalizing the Kentucky Derby as the Baffert-trained winner, Medina Spirit, tested drug-dirty. Shame-shame on Baffert — again. Another horse-racing calamity, this time in its most prestigious event.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
