It is… close? The Arizona Cardinals offense looks fine but I guess between playing a good defense and having a backup quarterback it is pretty good to be winning 13-6 at halftime. The run game continues to be an issue, while the passing attack is getting yards when it matters. I got a text from […]

Being at the helm of a Major League Baseball franchise for an eternity is a special honor for an exclusive group of team executives. The average lifespan for a front office member is five-and-a-half years. A.J. Preller has outlasted some of the top business leaders in the United States, as he completed his 11th season […]

The qualifying offer is one of the key mechanisms of free agent season, as teams have until five days after the end of the World Series to decide whether or not to issue the one-year contract (this winter worth $22.025MM) to eligible free agents. If a player has played with his team throughout the entire…

It is an 8:00 Easter start time. Just win Jays. The good news is George Springer is playing. Hopefully he’ll be able to swing the bat and run the bases. I wouldn’t look for any stolen bases. But a home run or two would be a good thing. Tonight’s lineup: And, of course, Trey Yesavage […]

I’ve been thinking about how to start this article for two days, but all of my thoughts can succinctly be distilled into two words. That sucked. The 2025 regular season was filled with excitement and hope that the Brewers would finally return to the World Series for the first time since 1982. Those aspirations were […]

It was less than a year ago that the Cardinals made the decision to move three-time All-Star Willson Contreras to first base after the veteran slugger indicated he wasn’t interested in waiving his no-trade clause to leave St. Louis ahead of their impending rebuild. That decision was intended to open up the catcher position so…

Though they all count equally, not all losses are the same. That can be seen by how Arizona has graded out the past two weeks in back-to-back heartbreaking defeats. The Wildcats (4-3, 1-3 Big 12) earned an overall grade of 72.8 for the 31-28 loss at Houston, per Pro Football Focus. That’s slightly behind the […]

The Indianapolis Colts are on the road to take on the Los Angeles Chargers in week 7 of the 2025 season, kickoff is at 4:05 p.m. EST. Last week our Colts squeaked by a Cardinals team that was led by Jacoby Brissett. Losing Mooney Ward before the game severely limited the secondary and Brissett seized the opportunity […]

On September 19, 2024, I had the luck and privilege to see what was easily the greatest offensive day in the history of the sport. Shohei Ohtani created the first 50/50 club with such aplomb, we were unlikely to ever see its like ever again. Never mind that he made another 50/50 club in 2025. […]

It is here. Well, after the game it is here, as the Arizona Cardinals have a two lane road heading into the bye week. On one side a playoff spot is virtually impossible as 2-5 would mean they would likely need to go 8-2 down the stretch. On the other side, it would be really […]

It breaks our hearts to pass along the news of a tragedy in the New York Yankees’ family on this sunny Sunday. Jesús Montero was one of the best prospects in baseball in the early 2010s and debuted with the Yankees in September 2011 at age-21. He really shined in his first cup of coffee […]

We’re not too far from awards season, which means the usual worthy nominees, head-scratching selections, and outright upsets have started to populate the Gold Glove discussion for 2025 . Dillon Dingler is one of the catching finalists for the Detroit Tigers; Carlos Santana earns another nom for the Cleveland Guardians after winning the 1B award last season. Bobby Witt, Jr. represents shortstop, with division foes Maikel Garcia (Royals) and Jose Ramirez (Guardians) both nominated at third base....

The Rams beat down the Jaguars across the pond in a game that was never close. They inch closer to the 49ers, who hope the Cardinals drop a game to the Packers later this afternoon. We’ll have to wait until Monday to see if the Seahawks drop a game. This morning doesn’t have any marquee […]

This year’s NLCS series between Milwaukee and Los Angeles elicited plenty of attention, but not only because the Dodgers were in it. While casual fans and international viewers love Shohei Ohtani, everyone outside the Dodgers fanbase cheered for David to defeat Goliath, another issue came to light: The salary mismatch between these two teams, and […]

1909 Hugh Duffy took over as the fifth White Sox manager of all time, after Billy Sullivan had a disappointing 78-74 year in his one year at the player-manager helm. Just as Sullivan’s defensive genius didn’t serve him particularly well as a skipper, Duffy was a Hall of Fame player who ended up a lousy […]

In case you missed it, Mookie Betts turned himself into one of the best defensive shortstops in baseball this year, and he did it in a history-making fashion, becoming the first player in baseball history to start at least 140 games at shortstop at age-32 or older after having made fewer than 100 career appearances […]

Ahead of his final year under team control, Tigers ace Tarik Skubal has gotten plenty of attention as fans and clubs alike have begun to turn their attention towards the offseason. Detroit’s reported extension offer of less than $100MM over four years last offseason does not inspire confidence that the club will be able to…

A real Canadian flavour to the Sunday Scramble this week (Go Blue Jays), and after giving my thoughts about our Edmonton Oilers in my column on Saturday, let’s capitalize on the neighbourly doom permeating provincial borders… This will be a big test for Calgary Flames general manager Craig Conroy.
