The Cowboys’ defense is bad. It’s been really bad. And the loss of Micah Parsons was far more impactful that owner Jerry Jones will ever care to admit. As Jones sat in his box for Dallas’ Monday Night Football game, he watched his team get embarrassed by a bad Cardinals team that put up 27 […]

The Cubs acquired Andrew Kittredge from the Orioles at last July’s trade deadline for minor leaguer Wilfri De La Cruz, who has yet to play in North America (he was with the Cubs’ Dominican Summer League team). Kittredge played well for the Cubs in his two months on the North Side, posting a 3.32 ERA […]

The San Francisco 49ers sit at 6-3 after a convincing win over the New York Giants. Following a thorough beating from the Houston Texans, the 49ers played bully on Sunday and ran the football right at the Giants and their defense. The 49ers’ offensive line did a much better job protecting Mac Jones, even against […]

Gabby Hartnett’s famous “Homer In The Gloamin’” is not just the most famous walkoff home run in Cubs history — maybe the most famous Cubs homer, period — it’s one of the top walkoff home runs in all of MLB history, at least in a regular-season game. The BilL Mazeroski homer that won the 1960 […]

Much like 2024, the Yankees’ initial bullpen construction to begin 2025 proved insufficient, particularly in the ninth inning. When Devin Williams’ time in pinstripes got off to a rocky start, it became clear GM Brian Cashman would need to find another external option at closer. On July 31st, with the Yankees in the midst of […]

Gosh, those World Series announcers were strange. The team of Joe Davis, John Smoltz, and sideline helpers actually spent almost the entire time the games were going on talking about what was happening on the field. Oh, they indulged in the occasional anecdote or reflection on earlier days. Still, unless I missed it, they spent […]

This week, there was an answer to the question about J.T. Realmuto returning to the Phillies and what kind of contract he would get. Matt Gelb, ever the insider, predicted a three-year deal is not entirely off the table. Yadier Molina signed a three-year extension in 2018 that covered his age-35 to -37 seasons. That […]

Although the vibes changed rather dramatically sometime in July, losing Kyle Tucker to free agency this offseason is going to sting . For however imperfect and uneven his season turned out to be, even the most jaded Cubs fan knows that Tucker was a significant contributor: 22 HRs, 25 SBs, 136 wRC+, 4.5 WAR, and all in nearly 600 PAs from the top-third of the Cubs lineup. Honestly, if he had simply connected on that 3-1 fastball in the sixth inning of NLDS Game 5, we might be having an ent...

The San Francisco 49ers traveled to New Jersey and dominated the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. Unfortunately, the team couldn’t avoid the injury bug, as rookie Mykel Williams tore his ACL late in the game. It’s another tough blow for the 49ers and their defense. The 49ers dominated the Giants on Sunday by getting […]

The Mets used 66 players in 2025, with 46 of those appearing on a pitching mound at some point in their 162 games. While some 2025 performances are not soon to be forgotten (Juan Soto’s 43 home runs, Nolan McLean’s phenomenal second half), there are a fair number of players who, if you haven’t already […]
