From clutch overtime heroes to unexpected breakouts, ex-Rangers are making noise where it matters most.
You’ve probably heard the story by now, in the fact that what was first appearing to be a seamless Vanderbilt victory on Friday night turned into possibly the most chaotic Southeastern Conference baseball game of the 2026 season in the span of two half innings. Down 6-1, Mizzou baseball fought its way back from a […]
All money isn’t good money. It’s a life lesson that must be learned by those with a hunger for increasing their income. Typically, the refrain is used in rags-to-riches style films, where one must confront the reality that desperation leaves them vulnerable to overlooking a trap or taking a dumb risk. In other film styles, […]
With the Toronto Maple Leafs having won the lottery, if they don't move the pick, they'll be adding a legit top-six winger to their roster next season. Whether it's presumed No. 1 pick Gavin McKenna, or perhaps Swedish forward Ivar Stenberg, they'll be adding an excellent future star. But one of the biggest trouble spots for the Buds has been their center depth. After Auston Matthews (assuming he stays) and veteran John Tavares (he'll be 36 next season), it's a pretty precarious situatio...
Oh whoops hey there’s baseball today isn’t there. Logan Gilbert gets the start for the Mariners. Davis Martin gets the start for the White Sox. Martin is a righty which means the Mariners will send their good lineup, with Brendan Donovan leading off in his second start back from injury. It’s a beautiful day for […]
They say college football has become a big business and its true. One well-known business technique is called a SWOT analysis. Inspired by the Talkin’ Yanks podcast, I will bring you a SWOT analysis for Clemson football. In this edition we take the Weaknesses and Opportunities portion for the 2026 Clemson Tiger defense. Weakness: There […]
This WNBA offseason was a whirlwind, featuring a lengthy negotiation over a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) followed by a massive free agency pool and a draft. The dust has settled and the Sparks have created a roster that’s built to win right now. They’ve brought back the best parts of last year’s team, including […]
Jules Koundé knows exactly who he’s up against this Sunday at the Camp Nou, and he isn’t pulling any punches regarding the difficulty of the task in a potentially league-clinching Clásico against Real Madrid. In a recent Q&A on FC Barcelona’s official YouTube channel, the French defender singled out his primary rival on the flank […]
Introduction Not too long ago, I asked the question of ‘Is it time for the D’Backs to call up these top prospects from AAA?’ On Friday, we got a partial answer to that question. Top prospect Ryan Waldschmidt was called up while struggling CF Alek Thomas was Designated For Assignment (DFA’d). It still remains to […]
For a while, the bullpen was, shockingly, the only part of the San Francisco Giants that was competent. But lately that hasn’t been the case. San Francisco’s bullpen has fallen apart recently: since the start of the month, Giants relievers are 24th in ERA (6.33), 26th in FIP (4.98), 28th in fWAR (-0.4), 28th in […]
The White Sox are finally having a shred of success after being absolutely barren for three straight years. What does that mean? It means it’s time to start complaining about the disrespect shown to the South Side by [insert national media apparatus here]. Legal sports gambling is an absolute and utter plague upon humanity and […]
It’s been a tough weekend for the Yankees. We were firsthand witnesses to just how overpowering Jacob Misiorowski can be on Friday, and yesterday was one of those annoying extra innings games on the road that the club just hasn’t been able to handle since the Manfred Man rule change. They’ve got one chance to […]
The illustrious NCAA tournament is officially underway, as No. 1 Northwestern squares off against No. 22 James Madison in a second round matchup at Northwestern Medicine Field at Martin Stadium. JMU defeated Notre Dame women’s lacrosse 13-12 on Friday afternoon and now face a date with the ‘Cats, who are looking to extend their streak […]
Happy Mother’s Day! 16 years ago yesterday, former Athletics pitcher and current television broadcaster Dallas Braden threw his historic perfect game on Mother’s Day. Today, the Athletics look to have more success on this annual occasion by finishing the road trip with a victory and completing a three-game sweep of the Baltimore Orioles. Right-hander Luis […]
Barcelona walks into tonight’s El Clásico at the Spotify Camp Nou with a clear path to the trophy. If they avoid defeat, the league title is officially theirs. It is a grim outlook for the visitors, who confirmed just before traveling that Kylian Mbappé will not be on the plane. The French forward had participated […]

A childhood American Idol crush had him worried.
The Orioles season is once again in danger of spiraling out of control, sinking close to a point beyond which one cannot reasonably hope that they will revive their fortunes even if they improved their play. Last year’s Orioles did manage that revival, of sorts, since they ended up being just about .500 under interim […]
On this Mother’s Day (call your mom!), the second round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs continues with the Knicks looking to sweep the 76ers in Philly and the Spurs and Wolves dueling in Minnesota. Let’s discuss here! As with all of our game threads (and every post), be cool, be reasonable, and don’t say anything […]
Passing the quarter post on the racetrack of the season. And Addison Barger, is out of the lineup with a ‘sore elbow’. That was an amazing throw, but maybe not the best move in his first day back. Addison was to lead off today, but now it is Ernie Clement. I’m a fan of lead […]
Real Madrid have published their starting lineup for the upcoming match against Barcelona in LaLiga. Barça have a golden opportunity to secure the title, but both teams will be missing big stars like Kylian Mbappé, Lamine Yamal or Fede Valverde tonight. Who will win the last El Clásico of the 2025-26 season? STARTING LINEUPS Barcelona […]
The Philadelphia Flyers just got kicked out of the playoffs thanks to being swept by the Carolina Hurricanes in the second round. But, there are still some things to take away from that series. They may have lost four straight games, but they were not all stinkers and complete blowouts to a team who feels destined to finally break through and finish the season on a high note. There are things to learn from this series and let’s go over them — the good and the bad. Flyers’ power play ...
Having already clinched the Women’s Super League title and interrupted Chelsea Women’s six-fold-consecutive run of lifting that very trophy, Manchester City wanted to inflict more harm upon the only team that managed to beat them more than once this season. They were high in confidence as they did beat us to a pulp last time […]
On3’s Nick Kosko offered his assessment of the top coaching hires of this off-season. In that post, Kosko put Anthony Ashnault’s return to Rutgers at the number 5 hire across the country. Per the post, now that he’s back in Piscataway, Ashnault “should aid the elite New Jersey recruiting efforts and be quite the training […]

Welcome to the 2026 Transfer Portal season. The portal is officially open and the information is about to start flowing. We’ve got an amended roster count, and it’s a lot lighter than it was just a few days ago. That isn’t a surprise, the portal is easy to get into. For players, coaches, and fans. […]
