Pitt vs. Syracuse, 7:30 p.m.

Heintschel throws 7 TDs in rout

The Minnesota Twins Breakfast Club

Two days ago, I turned 40 years old. On one hand, my body is feeling it. Year #39 has been challenging from a health perspective. A severe noro-virus wiped me out at the beginning of the year, my 6’8” frame finally proved too much for my lower back (though strengthening PT has helped a lot!), […]

2025 MVBrewers #5: Christian Yelich

After a close vote for No. 4 (if you’ll recall, Sal Frelick won with nine votes to Christian Yelich’s eight votes), Yelich blew the competition out of the water in this week’s voting to slot in at No. 5 on our 2025 MVBrewers list. The BCB community voted for Yelich with 16 votes in The […]

Yankees Potential Free Agent Target: Zac Gallen

With Gerrit Cole and Clarke Schmidt both recovering from Tommy John surgery to various degrees, Carlos Rodón out for at least the start of 2026, and the rest of the rotation bar Max Fried talented but inconsistent or still unproven, the Yankees could very well take a shot at a starting pitcher acquisition this winter. […]

Of prospect runways and when they take-off

I’m going to tell you a story about a young prospect.  An outfielder, no less.  Tall and rangy.  His most noticeable tool is his power, but he is not one-dimensional.  He isn’t the greatest right-fielder anyone has seen, but he is playable.  He was what the Cardinals needed, really had since Matt Holliday aged out.  […]

As Miami fans focus on the path to the ACC title game and comparisons on the national stage – specifically why the Canes belong ahead of Notre Dame, Alabama, and others as the playoff rankings have already incited drama – the real focus should be on winning convincingly at Virginia Tech and at Pitt. This […]

What if opposing pitchers actually feared Rockies hitters again?

Maybe it’s Blake Street Bomber nostalgia.  Maybe it’s missing power hitters like Todd Helton, Carlos Gozález, prime Charlie Blackmon, Nolan Arenado and Trevor Story. Maybe it’s just wanting to have a fun, competitive baseball team again. But after each season, especially as Arenado and Story left town, I feel like it’s become my after-season tradition […]

Colts pass rusher Laiatu Latu is quietly coming into his own

Indianapolis, IN — The Indianapolis Colts‘ 2024 first-round pick is quietly emerging. Laiatu Latu was his draft class’s first defender selected at 15th overall; therefore, expectations were set by fans and analysts alike — he simply must be the best defender, and no grace period for acclimation is allowed. This, of course, is how casual […]

The Daily Bee: Dortmund Interested in Promising 16-Year-Old Striker

A week ago, I wrote a droning, melodramatic screed about how boring the international break is and how international football is a waste of time and should be abolished. Well, the universe instantly proved me wrong with one of the most entertaining and iconic weeks of international football in recent memory. I’ll accept your thanks […]

Friday Headlines: Loyola Maryland Gameday Edition

Kentucky basketball returns to the court tonight where they’ll host Loyola Maryland at Rupp Arena.
