Anyone know? If some software issue, weird that it would last for three days. I don't get it.

what previews?
what games?Comment -
ALL of them. You know how you click on "preview" for a game, MLB, NBA, whatever? They give a nice, general summation of the game, nothing too hardcore but occasionally some useful head-to-head stats and stuff.
For the past three days, there's not even an option to click on on the site, and in their Score center app, when you click you get "preview not available."Comment -
ESPN garbage ever since they updated their site. Just use theScore app. Same previews are on there.Comment -
I use these all sports...Wash game tonight
WASHINGTON -- Nationals manager Dusty Baker said this weekend that his team can't look too much ahead to an upcoming west coast trip, which begins Thursday with a game in San Diego.
"We have not played the west (coast teams). You want to get some momentum before you go there," Baker said.
The Nationals, who have won six of the last seven, will certainly get a chance to do that when they begin a three-game series at home Monday with the Chicago Cubs in a showdown of first-place teams.
Last year, manager Matt Williams took some heat when he did not set up his rotation to have Max Scherzer pitch in a series against the New York Mets.
Baker won't make that mistake this year, as Scherzer (7-4, 3.57) is slated to start Monday against the Cubs, who will send Kyle Hendricks (4-5, 2.90) to the mound.
"You want to get some steam, get a bit of cushion" before heading west, Baker said.
The Nationals (39-24) are a season-high 15 games over .500 and have more than a cushion. They also have some luck as Jack Arrieta is not slated to pitch in the series for the Cubs, nor is Jon Lester.
"We haven't played a lot of teams in the Central," said Washington shortstop Danny Espinosa, who scored the game-winning run Sunday as the Nationals scored two in the ninth to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-4.
When the teams met May 5-8 in the Windy City, the Cubs won all four games by a combined score of 22-16.
Scherzer got the loss May 6 by a score of 8-6 as he was hit hard, while John Lackey picked up the win in that game.
Will the Cubs refuse to pitch to Harper in this series, just like they did in Chicago when he drew a ton of walks?
"I don't know," Baker said Sunday. "I haven't really thought about it. I'm thinking about the Phillies now. And then tomorrow I probably still won't think about it. Because thanks to the Cubs, they're the ones that changed my lineup."
Harper struggled after that series but has started to hit better the past week. He was given a rest day on Sunday by Baker, though he did reach on a pinch-hit single in the ninth to aid a winning rally.
A sweep may be asking too much for the Nationals against the Cubs.
Washington got its first home sweep since late April with three wins over the Phillies this weekend.
Chicago is 43-18 -- the best mark in the majors -- after an easy 13-2 win on Sunday over the Atlanta Braves. The Cubs had made three errors on Saturday but the Nationals shouldn't count on Chicago beating themselves.
"It was uncharacteristic," Cubs manager Joe Maddon said of the errors in Atlanta.
Said Washington's Espinosa: "The Cubs are really good."
The Nationals and their fans are about to find out just how good the Cubs are.
Baker said Sunday his next goal is to get the Nationals to 20 games over .500. Maddon also has goals.
"I have goals -- that was 25 over today," Maddon said Sunday to mlb.com. "If I have any short-term goals, it's to increase increments of five, and that's what I focus on more than anything."Comment -
JJ, what site did that come from?Comment -
been there forever...hoops they do every game on boardComment -
I believe CBS Sports had the same previews as ESPN, and they do now have the same as in the link JJ posted. I remember them being much better before they disappeared from ESPN though.Comment -
probably isisComment -
They get them from something called STATS LCC. Perhaps ESPN's license expired and they forgot to renew, lol. Or possibly gonna go with another provider.Comment -
The Espen is turning into garbage. Are they out of money, or something?Comment -
Game previews are very helpful and a lot of them do not have a gambling bias to them which makes it betterComment
