Morning A’s fans. Yesterday’s off day allowed the Athletics to travel back home to Sacramento and prepare for their next series, a three-game matchup against the Kansas City Royals. This’ll be the first time these two teams face each other this year. Kansas City is off to a slow start at just 11-17 so far […]
It wasn’t a surprise to see former San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings not sign during the first wave of free agency. He felt like a player who would sign toward the end of the week, if not over the weekend. Here we are, more than a month and a half since the start […]
Good morning, baseball fans! On Saturday, the San Francisco Giants held a ceremony to honor their former first baseman/All Star/Captain/Baby Giraffe, Brandon Belt. Belt played for the Giants for 12 years and was a part of two of the three World Series Championship teams. During that time, he was somehow both severely underrated and a […]

Hey, 13-15… that’s… not so bad, right? The past decade or so of Giants Baseball has — except for that one time — basically conditioned us to expect and embrace mediocrity and here we are, paired again with a familiar friend. That’s actually preferrable to the vibes — nay, the objective reality — that followed […]
The San Jose Sharks need to look to improve their defense during the offseason. With the Sharks having multiple pending UFA defensemen and simply needing to upgrade their blueline, it would not be surprising if they add more than one solid defender during the summer. Due to this, let's look at three defensemen who the Sharks should strongly consider bringing in during the summer. Braden Schneider, New York Rangers Schneider was connected to the Sharks leading up to the 2026 NHL tra...

There was a lot of discussion this weekend on the San Francisco 49ers and their 2025 draft class, as the organization deviated quite a bit from the consensus draft boards with a couple of selections. Overall, San Francisco ended up being quite busy with the trade market, moving down a couple of times while also […]
We may have jumped the shark when it comes to talking about reaches in the NFL Draft. For the 12th year in a row, the Raiders, Browns, and Giants “won” the draft. Perhaps 2026 is the year those drafts come to fruition in the win column. We shall see. When you watch the San Francisco […]
The topics surrounding the San Francisco 49ers have been less about the players they selected and more about whether those players would have been available at their next picks. On the one hand, we say the draft is a crapshoot, and you never know what to expect. On the other hand, based on mock drafts, […]
The San Francisco 49ers signed former Miami Dolphins safety Patrick McMorris to a one-year deal.

Many figured the San Francisco 49ers would draft a running back at some point after losing Brian Robinson Jr. in free agency. Christian McCaffrey was the bell cow last season. After leading the NFL in touches in 2023 and 2025, the odds are against McCaffrey to make it through another season fully healthy. The 49ers […]

The 2026 NFL Draft is in the books. We’ll spend the next couple of weeks breaking down the San Francisco 49ers’ selections. Before we do that, let’s look at one last mock draft round-up. This one is for next season. As usual, most projections believed the 49ers would select a replacement for Trent Williams. One […]
A’s 2, Rangers 1
Good morning, baseball fans! It’s a new week of San Francisco Giants baseball, so let’s see what’s on deck. The Giants continue their recent trend of having a day off today, before they hit the road again and head for the East Coast. First up will be a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies, before […]
Divisional battles highlighted the week in the National League West.

Dalton Rushing was […]
Nguyen: NFL Draft’s 10 best scheme fits: Giants, Cowboys, Bucs among teams picking perfect pieces (paywall)“I thought Stribling would be a perfect fit for the 49ers because of his ability to run after the catch, and he’s the best blocking receiver in the draft, both skills that former 49er Jauan Jennings was adept at. Stribling […]
Last time the Athletics played the Texas Rangers, the teams split a four-game series in Sacramento. This time, the A’s emerged victorious in a best-of-three battle in Arlington.

The Texas Rangers scored a run but the Orion Arm Athletics scored two runs. No doubt about it, the Rangers made some mistakes today. First of all, they played a baseball game while up only one game above .500. As we know, that’s a guaranteed loss. If you’re asking me, given the circumstances, they probably […]
