A much better second quarter at Wrigley. Koi Perich flew through a perfect tunnel block for a 95 yard return to set up first and goal at the end of the first quarter. The Gophers punched it in on a nice counter pitch to Darius Taylor to start the second. The defense continued a maddening […]
Happy Saturday one and all. The Arizona Cardinals take on the Jacksonville Jaguars at home tomorrow, but before we dive into that, let’s take a look back at last Sunday’s debacle of a game between the Cardinals and the San Francisco 49ers. Jess and I take a look at the loss, what went wrong, and […]
There are currently four players from Japan’s NPB league that have been posted for MLB teams to bid on. Could any of them be a fit for the Houston Astros? (Note: NPB consists of Pacific League (JPPL) and Central League (JPCL). JPPL has DH, JPCL does not) 1) SP Tatsuya Imai (27 years old, 5’ […]
On Sunday in week 11 against the Giants, safety Evan Williams caught the game-ending interception to send the Packers to 6-3-1. It was a welcome relief after a game spent dropping what felt like a half dozen interceptions in their hands (it was only four by my count). The game is funny that way. Less […]

Last night, I was able to break the news that the Cubs had added righty reliever Phil Maton , a legitimate, late-inning arm, to a multi-year contract. And while most Cubs fans seemed appropriately excited about that deal, I could sense some apprehension that Maton would be the ONLY reliever like that they’d sign this offseason. And to be fair, that’s an understandable reaction as the Cubs very rarely sign established relievers to multi-year pacts. But I’m here to tell you today that they aren’...
The next A’s player in our “Season in Review” series is left fielder Tyler Soderstrom. Soderstrom is knocking on the door of stardom and we’re all excited to see how he will build on his breakout 2025 season. How was he acquired? Tyler’s dad is Steve Soderstrom, the sixth overall pick by the San Francisco […]
When the famed first Elvis Presley Christmas Album came out in October 1957, White Sox fans already had plenty to cheer about. The team had just finished its seventh straight winning season, part of a streak that would continue for another decade. The 90-win total wasn’t enough to challenge the dreaded Yankees, but the Sox […]
Barcelona are back on top of the La Liga table for at least 24 hours thanks to a 4-0 win over Athletic Club on their historic return to the Spotify Camp Nou on Saturday afternoon. The Catalans weren’t exactly at their best but still played well enough and were clinical in front of goal it […]
We’re in a baseball stadium. Can Minnesota put up more points than a baseball team? Will they be as disappointing as the Twins ownership? Come find out together.
The Seattle Seahawks’ loss against the Los Angeles Rams needs to generate lessons learned, but it can’t reverberate forever. The focus needs to be on the Tennessee Titans. The Tennessee team has only one win this season, against the Arizona Cardinals, in a bizarre game. The last 8 Seahawks-Tennessee games have been decided by one […]
It is no secret that the Atlanta Braves struggled at the shortstop position for most of the season. Nick Allen had an elite glove but could not hit. They also struggled with health in the infield, with Austin Riley and Ozzie Albies both missing chunks of time with injuries. The Braves needed some depth, and […]
No idea how this is going to go. Let’s let it rip. Go Cards.
Barry Bonds is on the Contemporary Baseball Era ballot (or some title much like that).Barry was on the Writers’ ballot 10 times, reaching as high as 66.0% of the vote (he started at 36.2% his first time and steadily increased). And he was on the Veterans’ Committee ballot in 2023 (the year they voted Fred […]
The Arizona Cardinals have their work cut out for them this weekend in the Sunday afternoon game against a good Jacksonville Jaguars club. The Jags are 6-4-0 and are sitting in second place in the AFC South Division, and currently own the #7 seed in the playoff picture. RELATED: CARDINALS OPEN AS HOME UNDERDOGS AGAINST […]
In Week 12 (Sunday at 1 p.m. ET), wideout Darius Slayton and the New York Giants will meet the Detroit Lions, who have the eighth-ranked pass defense in the league (192.1 yards allowed per game). Should Slayton be someone that you plug into your fantasy football lineup this week for his matchup against the Lions? Prior to making that choice, here’s a look at the stats and trends you need to know. Sign up for Fubo to watch the NFL, live sports and entertainment without cable! Darius Slayt...
Brusdar Graterol has been a high-leverage reliever for the bulk of his time with the Dodgers, but he did not pitch at all this year after shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum last November. Among the 324 pitchers with at least 150 innings from 2020-23, Graterol ranked 18th in ERA (2.69) and 25th in […]
Friday was the deadline for teams to tender a contract for the 2026 season to players on their roster that were arbitration eligible. Whenever this deadline hits, there are several surprise players that are cut loose, but most of the time, it’s a chance for teams to move on from players that are projected to […]
The Lions have now dropped three of their last five games—more than they lost in the entire 2024 regular season—after hitting an unwelcome offensive rock bottom against the Eagles, producing their first single-digit performance (9 points) since that forgettable Week 7, 2023 loss to the Ravens. Sitting third in the NFC North, Detroit once again […]
This is an early photo of Cubs Hall of Fame outfielder Billy Williams, and with the scoreboard matchups here it was pretty easy to sleuth this one. This was taken at the original Busch Stadium, formerly called Sportsman’s Park, home of the Cardinals from 1909 to 1966, when they moved into the second Busch Stadium […]

There have been all sorts of rumors making the rounds about where this year's top pending unrestricted free agent could be headed. Artemi Panarin and the New York Rangers are nowhere close to considering an extension, and with all the other pending UFAs locking in with their incumbent teams over the past few weeks, Panarin would be No. 1 on the open market next summer, despite his age (34). But according to another former All-Star Russian player, Alexei Kovalev, Panarin may actually...
He's spent time in the NHL and the AHL, but what is the best move for the kid and the organization?
The Washington Nationals new regime is continuing their youth movement. While no hitting coach has been named yet, the Nats have hired an assistant hitting coach. That would be Andrew Aydt, formerly of Driveline Baseball. He is not even 30 years old yet, but he is already well known as a bright hitting mind. Like […]
