As the Milwaukee Brewers’ season retreats further into the rearview mirror, we are naturally starting to think about the offseason, which will begin in earnest at the Winter Meetings the week of December 7. The Brewers should have money to spend this offseason, and they certainly have the chips to make a trade if they […]
Three of the four NFC West Division teams had a bye this weekend: Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Rams, and Seattle Seahawks. The Rams, Seahawks, and San Francisco 49ers were in a three-way tie with identical 5-2-0 records going into Week 8. The Cardinals brought up the rear with a 2-5-0 record.

Mizzou suffered their second loss of the season on the road by the final score of 17-10 to Vanderbilt. It was close, but no cigar (just like the loss to Alabama). In a competitive game on the road against a top-10 opponent, Mizzou had some contributors step up but couldn’t quite finish the deal. Let’s […]
The World Series is fully underway. While the rest of the baseball world focuses on the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays trading blows, fans of the Colorado Rockies are waiting for something else. The Rockies will hopefully hire their new head of baseball operations within the next two weeks. The two known finalists […]
1876 Some 24 years before the White Sox were even founded, a key member of the later-1900s Pale Hose was born on this day. Patrick “Patsy” Doughtery of Andover, N.Y. came to the White Sox during their 1906 World Series-winning season. The club purchased Doughterty from the New York Highlanders on June 6, when the […]

Good morning, Camden Chatters. We have major Orioles news! This is not a drill. The O’s apparently have made their decision on a new manager, reportedly finalizing a deal with Craig Albernaz to be their new skipper, per ESPN’s Jeff Passan. The Orioles have not yet made an announcement.’ This was kind of an unexpected […]
The World Series shifts to Los Angeles today and I have to say: been a pretty good series thus far. Watching the Dodgers get their doors blown off is always fun, but I’m also one of those pitching duel aficionados that actually prefers those types of games to a 12-10 homer fest. I enjoyed Game […]
Rabbit Maranville arrives in Chicago, and other stories. Happy birthday to Ralph Kiner* and other former Cubs. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, Bleed Cubbie Blue is pleased to present a light-hearted, Cubs-centric look at baseball’s colorful past. Here’s a handy Cubs timeline, to help you follow the various narrative paths. “Maybe I called it wrong, but it’s official.” — Tom […]
It’s a strange October: Montreal and Detroit lead the Atlantic, Utah leads the West, and the Rangers are last in the East. Their four-game winning streak stopped via shootout, the Islanders (currently still in the second wild card) are now preparing for tomorrow night in Boston. That’s before the road trip continues with a tough […]
Barcelona’s Clasico clash with Real Madrid on Sunday brought about plenty of chaos and controversy as is the norm when the two bitter rivals meet. VAR played its role in the game and the audios have now been released. Let’s take a look: The first audio relates to the early decision to rule out a […]
The Leafs likely will practice, though.
The offday is over and the World Series will be back on tonight, this time from the West Coast with the Dodgers and Blue Jays even, and the series now a best-of-five. Hopefully there’s some good baseball in store. Today on the site, we’re beginning our annual Yankees Roster Report Cards series! I’ll have an […]

Before the Boston Red Sox won the 2004 World Series, they had a long and pretty amazing history of futility known as the curse, or, more fully, the Curse of the Bambino, so-called because the Red Sox traded Babe Ruth to New York in 1919 (it was formally announced shortly after New Year’s Day). The […]
In the lead up to Week 8, I felt like the Philadelphia Eagles needed to make a statement against the New York Giants. The Birds needed to get back at the team that embarrassed them on a national stage in Week 6. My stance on the Eagles needing to score style points softened once we […]
Last week, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett said that Green Bay Packers fans making the trip out west forced the Cardinals’ offense to have to use their silent count at home. This isn’t anything new for the Packers, one of the bigger fan bases in the league, but it does seem to be a recurring […]

After four years of experimentation in the minor leagues, MLB will allow teams to challenge umpires’ ball-strike calls based on the results of an automated system. The challenges are limited in number, but presumably this will allow teams to overturn the most egregious errors by the plate umpire. The exact format has not been specified, […]
MLB Trade Rumors | Mark Polishuk: While it’s not the kind of staff change that a lot of people probably want, the Yankees reportedly did make one personnel move on Sunday. Desi Druschel is reportedly set to return to the Yankees, joining the team as an assistant pitching coach. Druschel spent time in a similar […]
LOS ANGELES — The 2025 World Series is now a best-of-five series, with the next three games at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, beginning with Game 3 on Monday night. Tyler Glasnow makes the start for the Dodgers, having allowed one run over 13 1/3 innings in his three postseason starts to date — one […]
Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Jr sent a message to the fans at the Santiago Bernabeu after the win over Barcelona, talking about what transpired during the match on Sunday. He said: “A message to all Madridistas, especially those who came to the Bernabeu and supported us passionately: This is how El Clásico is, there are […]
Another slow start and costly mistakes doomed the Rangers as their Western Canada trip began with a rough loss to the Flames.
The Eagles pulled off another impressive victory in Week 8 over the Giants, and Jalen Hurts had another exemplary performance throwing for 179 yards and four touchdowns. As the team heads into the bye week 6-2, Hurts spoke to reporters about what he sees for the offense the rest of the season. The last question […]
