Jose Bautista turns 45 today. From 2008 to 2017, those years would have been so much different without Jost. He gave us so many great moments over the years, but of course, the best was the home run and bat flip in Game 5. When we traded for him in August of 2008, the trade […]

Down 2–0 early in Montreal, the Rangers showed the kind of resolve that defines good teams—and the kind of response last year’s group couldn’t find.

According to The Athletic, the Twins have talked to famed SLUGGGRRR Nick Punto about the Twins’ open managerial position. Among various other folks. Punto’s currently an infield coach for the Padres; he’s originally from Southern California. (Oddly, his career OBP and SLG are both .323). Now, in a way, I don’t really care who they […]

The Seattle Mariners lead the ALCS three games to two over Toronto. They’ve also out-homered the Blue Jays 11-7 so far in the series. A total of 18 balls have left the field in five games, but you wouldn’t really know that if you listened to the broadcast. It seems the only thing the Jays […]

The article title may upset some of you who feel that Willson Contreras has been treated exactly as he should. I will say that I am probably one of the biggest Contreras and supporters of him on the Cardinals, but it was not always that way. As a Cardinals fan in the Chicagoland area, anything […]

Meet the Mets It is possible that the Detroit Tigers may make ace Tarik Skubal available in trade this winter and if they do, the Mets would be among the chief suitors.

The Green Bay Packers defense has been great this year. They traded for maybe the best defensive player in the NFL in Micah Parsons, and over the last five years have infused youth along their defense and now have one of the youngest, and most talented defenses in the NFL.

Tonight marks Game 6 of the ALCS, a series that has been interesting. The first two games were relatively uncompetitive, one somewhat close, the other a blowout. The next two games were rather large blowouts going the other direction, knotting the series at two. Friday’s grand slam by Eugenio Suarez broke open a tight game […]
