Of the non-CFP bowls so far, the staff is 10-8. We were 8-16 in the CFP games. The standings also got shaken up as Andrew got a game up on the field and Cole jumped into a tie for 2nd with Import. Tom is making a last gasp towards .500 while I missed the chance […]

Paratici could be the first sign of a Fiorentina sale

We’re still waiting for Fabio Paratici’s confirmation as Fiorentina’s new sporting director despite reporting that the deal’s pretty much done, with his contract at Tottenham Hotspur being the only remaining holdup. The question is if he’ll get his stuff moved into the RBCVPFPWCKGAWTLTDOSGT before the January transfer window opens (unlikely), but everyone agrees that he’ll […]

2025 Arizona Diamondbacks Player Reviews: #10 James McCann

Overview 2025 Review James McCann joined the Diamondbacks later in the seasons, on June 25th. Gabi Moreno was out with a broken finger, and a battery of Herrera and ADC was a terrifying proposition.

Gay NHL exec brings lifelong sports passion to growing the league

Growing up much of his days were spent outside, watching and playing baseball.  His passion for sports manifested into a continuing run with the New York Gay Flag Football League, which began over 15 years ago.  Now for his day-to-day job, Peña serves as […] The post Gay NHL exec brings lifelong sports passion to growing the league appeared first on Outsports .

Cubs position player pitchers: Ian Happ

I touched on this appearance briefly in yesterday’s post in this series, about Victor Caratini. Ian Happ’s lone pitching appearance in the major leagues came in a game where Joe Maddon used three position players to finish up after the Cubs were hopelessly behind. Happ threw the top of the ninth inning July 20, 2018 […]

What do the Diamondbacks currently look for in pitcher acquisitions? Mike Hazen talked about his acquisition of Michael Soroka.  What resonated with me, although it’s far from everything he said, is that there were five things that carried weight.  Although some people might see it differently, here are the five things they looked for: How […]

State of the Yankees’ System: Catcher

Elite catchers are as valuable […]

Tuesday Bantering: Jays Stuff

Sorry, there was nothing posted yesterday. We hit the day between Christmas and New Year’s when friends and I had finished family time and had a friend’s time, which was very nice.
