The GIST: The Phillies swept the Atlanta Braves in their opening series, and the return of All-Star center Joel Embiid reminded us how crucial he is to the Sixers. Philly is so back.

The GIST: From a homerun in the snow to a caturday appearance to a marriage proposal, the MLB’s long-awaited Opening Weekend did not disappoint. And to think people say baseball is boring, pfft.

There was only one Red Sox winner from opening weekend and that was pitcher Tanner Houck’s mom.

Nats have yet to open their season

Today is the day we’ve all been waiting for: the NCAA women’s basketball championship. So before the 6 p.m. ET tip-off between Stanford and Arizona, here’s a look at how we got here, what this means for both teams and who will be the difference makers tonight.

The GIST: The C’s lost their second straight last night, but nothing can stop us from smiling today because it’s officially the most wonderful time of the year: Red Sox season! Good times never seemed so good.

The GIST: Seahawk wide receiver Tyler Lockett’s making the big bucks after signing a contract extension yesterday. Happy for Tyler, but today we’re focusing on capital B-balls: basketball and baseball.

The GIST: Wizard Russell Westbrook is a champion in our hearts, the Mystics brought in offseason reinforcements and the Washington Football Team is now entirely owned by the Snyder family. With that whirlwind of activity, let’s add the Nationals into the mix, shall we?

The GIST: For the first time in NCAA women’s basketball history, a freshman is the AP Player of the Year and two Black women will be head coaches in the Final Four. Oh yeah, and there are two thrilling games on deck for tomorrow night. More herstory, please.

The pinstripes are back, and so is pitcher Gerrit Cole.

It’s Opening Day, and our Phils are kicking off the season against (one of) our favorite teams to hate, the Atlanta Braves.
