I didn’t realize that when we bought our house that we were moving into the Chainsaw District of town. This part of town is all about their chainsaws and lawn mowers and leaf blowers and weed eaters. And prime time for all of that is Saturday morning from 730-930am. It’s like the leaf blowers are […]

At long last, it’s finally over. Well, almost over. The Cowboys’ 2025 season went from promising to discouraging to hopeful and then nightmarish. They’re out of the playoffs now and face a Giants team with no playoff hopes of their own to spoil. All that’s left, as they say, is the shouting, and it has […]

It is officially 2026 and the two most necessary players for the St. Louis Cardinals to trade remain in the organization as Spring Training is five short weeks away. In my opinion, both Nolan Arenado and Brendan Donovan should be dealt before March in order to get this Chaim Bloom-led rebuild headed in the right […]

Well, it looks like Alex Bregman or bust now. It’s easy to be discouraged by the lack of progress on the team-building front. These are not good times. I remember when the ballboy (actually clubhouse attendant Francisco “Chico” Herrera) played left field for the Dodgers. The Cubs might want to field Fabian De Hoyos. He’s […]
