Unless the Red Sox and Yankees face each other in the playoffs, CC Sabathia won’t face Boston again this season. There’s little doubt he would like to.

When the White Sox’s Alen Hanson launched a ninth-inning, tie-breaking home run Thursday afternoon, off Twins reliever Matt Belisle, it made a sound at Yankee Stadium.

Here’s a shocker. On Wednesday morning President Trump tweeted something that was mostly true: “The US has been talking to North Korea, and paying them extortion money, for 25 years.
