COMMERCE CITY — On a night with so much angst inside Dick’s Sporting Goods Park from the fans, it was the players who kept their cool.Colorado Rapids interim head coach Chris Little made his debut and got a win out of it, as the Rapids offense broke free from a goal-less drought in which the group was shut out in nine of its last 10 MLS games with a 2-1 win over New England Revolution Saturday night.In the 20th minute, Centennial 38, the largest independent supporters group of the team, walked out en masse and left a message: “The badge, The Players, The fans deserve better.”Still, Colorado (4-13-10, 22 points) erupted with a pair of second-half goals from Cole Bassett in the 48th minute and Calvin Harris in the 62nd minute as he cut inside and curled a left-footed shot into the left-hand corner.

Pac-12 rewind: Colorado survives, UW and Oregon roll as epic non-conference performance continues

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 03:17:48 GMT

Recapping the best and worst of Week 3 action across the Pac-12 …Theme of the week: BlowoutsOf the nine wins collected by Pac-12 teams on Saturday, only one (Colorado over Colorado State) was closer than two touchdowns. The average margin of victory? Try 28.7 points. And in several cases, the margin could have been vastly worse. UCLA scored 45 points in the first half against North Carolina Central; Washington State scored 43 in the first against Northern Colorado; Washington slammed Michigan State with 35 in the first; and Oregon posted 34 in 30 minutes on Hawaii.Theme of next week: The AP pollThe dearth of upsets in Week 3 means the Pac-12 will begin round-robin play on Sept. 23 with eight teams ranked in the AP top-25 poll (for the second consecutive week). That should ensure a barrage of ranked-against-ranked matchups throughout October and loads of primetime TV slots for the conference. Only the SEC has ever placed eight teams in the AP rankings.Theme of the month: September su...

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 03:17:48 GMT

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Slumping rookie outfielder Joey Wiemer was optioned to Triple-A Nashville by the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday to make room for outfielder Blake Perkins, who was activated from the injured list.The 24-year-old Wiemer was the Brewers’ starting center fielder for much of the season. He played quality defense and helped the Brewers withstand the loss of fellow rookie Garrett Mitchell, who opened the year as the primary center fielder but has been out with a shoulder injury since mid-April. Mitchell began a rehabilitation assignment with Nashville on Friday.Wiemer has struggled over the last month, and his playing time dipped after the NL Central-leading Brewers promoted rookie Sal Frelick and acquired Mark Canha at the trade deadline. Wiemer is 2 for 28 with 12 strikeouts over his last 14 games.“When Sal got here, Joey’s playing situation changed, and that’s been different for him,” Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell said before the Brewers’ 9-5 Saturday night victory over...
