Joe Morgan goes 6-for-6 at the plate

Joe Morgan goes 6-for-6 at the plate kkundahl Wed, 2026-07-08 10:54 A record-tying performance during his first full season proved “Little Joe” could produce in big ways. Abbey Dempsey Joe Morgan’s words during his 1990 Hall of Fame induction ring charmingly ironic for a man responsible for one of Houston’s most historic days at the plate. “For me, the game has never been about numbers,” Morgan said on Aug. 6, 1990, in Cooperstown. “It’s only been about winning.” Morga...

TNF Week 10 live chat: Raiders at Broncos

I’ve had a running joke this year that you cannot trust “Thursday Night Football” games between divisional opponents. Get together two teams who know each other well and put them on a short week, and anything can happen. Look no further than the 49ers’ upset of the Rams, the Giants’ upset of the Eagles, and […]

Marquette Volleyball Preview: vs St. John’s & vs Seton Hall

Four matches to go. This weekend’s opponents will not be helping Marquette’s RPI all that much, especially because they’re home contests. Things may be getting dicey for MU’s inclusion in the NCAA tournament, but they will absolutely get very bad if the Golden Eagles let either of these two matches slip away from them. To […]

Thursday Night Football: Raiders vs. Broncos

Week 10 of the 2025 NFL season will feature a matchup between the Las Vegas Raiders (2-6) and the Denver Broncos (7-2).

Flyers activate Samuel Ersson from IR, return Jacob Gaucher to Phantoms

It’s been a relatively quiet week for the Flyers up to this point, but just as it was beginning to feel a little bit too quiet around here, the Flyers dropped a little bit of news on us, down to the wire before they rolling for tonight’s game in Nashville. Ahead of tonight’s game against the Predators, the Flyers announced that they’ve activated goaltender Samuel Ersson from IR, and loaned forward Jacob Gaucher back to Lehigh Valley to make room for that. Transaction: We've activated goal...

It Was An Amazing Season

My wife is treating me like I had a serious illness I’m recovering from and a relapse is imminent. Honestly, it’s not that bad. I saw My Boys play an amazing season. They had an epic, life affirming run through The Godless Yankees, then crushed The WaterBoarMen beneath their sandalled feet. Man, did we hear […]

No Brewers among NL Silver Slugger winners

The Milwaukee Brewers had three finalists up for Silver Slugger awards as the best hitter at their respective positions this year, but when the awards were announced on Thursday, they were shut out. It wasn’t especially surprising, when considering the players that Milwaukee’s three finalists were up against. The first of the Brewers’ finalists was […]

Rays cut Closer Pete Fairbanks, four others

For many Rays fans, one hope for the new ownership group was that the indignities of the Stuart Sternberg era would be a thing of the past. That the team would no decline pay player contracts at or near market rates, particularly for fan favorites. Well, if that was you, today’s 40-man roster deadline is […]

Kyle Tucker Wins a Silver Slugger Award!

A final plaudit to add to his resume before free agency, Kyle Tucker wins his second career Silver Slugger Award. On the season, Tucker hit .266/.377/.464/139 wRC+ (third highest in the NL among qualified outfielders), with 22 homers, 91 runs scored, 73 RBI, and 25 stolen bases. The Cubs acquired Kyle Tucker for his bat, and, outside of a particularly notable dip, he produced when he was healthy enough to play. It’s a bummer things didn’t work out better overall for the Cubs, but it’s har...
