The Rockies finally made a change after an abysmal start to the season. 

Colorado announced the firing of manager Bud Black and bench coach Mike Redmond, with the team off to a 7-33 start after beating the Padres 9-3 on Sunday. They were coming off a 21-0 loss to San Diego on Saturday.

“Our play so far this season, especially coming off the last two seasons, has been unacceptable. Our fans deserve better, and we are capable of better,” said a Rockies spokesperson.

“While we all share responsibility in how this season has played out, these changes are necessary. We will use the remainder of 2025 to improve where we can on the field and to evaluate all areas of our operation so we can properly turn the page into the next chapter of Rockies Baseball.” 

Third base coach Waren Schaeffer has been named interim manager and hitting coach Clint Hurdle will take over as interim bench coach.

Baseball fans call it the Subway Series—the New York Mets will play the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, May 16, 17 and 18. 

Vivid Cabaret New York, the high-energy adult club known for its sexy girls and party atmosphere, will host viewing and “decidedly unofficial” After-Parties for both games at the tri-level club in midtown Manhattan (61 West 37 Street).

Baseball fans will be greeted by the beautiful Vivid girls who perform on the city’s tallest stripper pole (28 feet) and also up close and personal.     

“We really know how to throw a party,” said Vivid girl Carly. “Expect VIP treatment whether you are a Yankee or Met fan. With all the hot girls showing off their perfect bodies, no matter who wins the game, it’s sure to be exciting.” 

Vivid Cabaret provides the ultimate in VIP treatment, featuring private suites and the VIP Ultra Lounge: a discreet hideaway for celebrities and power brokers. Vivid Cabaret is the sister club to the world famous Rick’s Cabaret New York.

Basketball Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal has accepted the men’s basketball general manager role at Sacramento State.

O’Neal will be joining in a voluntary role with the program, where his son, Shaqir, recently transferred from Florida A&M following the hiring of former NBA point guard Mike Bibby as head coach.

O’Neal is the latest high-profile athlete to take on a college general manager position following Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, who was named as an assistant general manager at his alma mater, Davidson.

Sacramento State went 7-25 under interim head coach Michael Czepol during the 2024-25 season following a combined 28-42 record under former head coach David Patrick, who took the associate head coach position at LSU last year.

The Hornets have never made an NCAA Tournament appearance since being promoted to Division I during the 1991-92 season and have only finished with a winning record twice in that span.
