This was as comfortable and controlled a defensive performance as the Philadelphia Eagles have produced all season. It was a complete reversal of the Week 6 meeting. The New York Giants were never really in this game. Once Cam Skattebo left injured, they lost the one player who gave their offense any physical edge, and […]
Louisville got things going in the second quarter with some big plays on offense and a few stops on defense. The Cards finished the half by extending the lead with the hopes of putting the game away early in the second half. This is a complete bust by the defense. Multiple players end up not […]
The Dodgers and Blue Jays find themselves tied at two games apiece in the World Series, but it feels like a bigger hill for the Dodgers to climb right now than the Blue Jays. That 18-inning game seemed to have rendered the whole team lethargic. It should have made the Blue Jays lethargic too, but […]
Kentucky football followed a heartbreaking overtime loss to Texas with a blowout loss to Tennessee to fall to 2-6. Next on the schedule, the Wildcats travel to take on the Auburn Tigers to fight for their first SEC win of the calendar year. Game time is set for 7:30 PM ET on the SEC Network. […]
How Acquired Blake was selected in the second comp round of the 2022 MLB draft – overall the 76th pick. What Were Expectations? After a very impressive stint at Rome to end the 2024 season there were lofty expectations for Blake – especially since he would be more than a full year removed from Tommy […]
The first chapter of the 2026 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List is officially in the books. And not only did it go as expected, it ended the only way it possibly could have. Even though we had to honor the election process and go through the steps of a proper election, the reality is […]
You have to like it when a plan comes together. The Jays picked up Shane Bieber hoping that he would be a piece of the rotation if we make it to the playoffs. Now he’s made four playoff starts. The first one wasn’t good, but, since then two wins, and a 3.00 ERA. Last night […]

The World Series is tied two games apiece, and with Game Five tonight, we know that this thing is going back to Toronto for at least one game on Friday. So the season is going to end either Friday night or Saturday night, and immediately thereafter: the Major League Baseball offseason begins. The first thing that happens at that moment? Every player eligible for free agency becomes a free agent. For that reason, I figured it was a good time to remind folks of the many, many free agen...

The Dodgers came into this Fall Classic as prohibitive favorites to win it all, and as the series heads to Game 5 tied at 2-2, not only does it have the makings of a close matchup, but if anyone has looked like the more dominant team at times, it has been Toronto. The Blue Jays […]
It was the Jac-est of times, it was the Caglianonest of times. What did we expect to happen? The Royals lucked—yes, lucked—into drafting Jac Caglianone with the sixth overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft. He’d been a star for the Florida Gators, and in a draft with no clear top pick, there was no […]
With the departure of Juan Soto last winter, the only thing left — besides an American League pennant, which isn’t nothing — left in the Bronx from the trade with the Padres was Trent Grisham. In the deal, the Yankees took on Grisham’s salary to get the Padres to accept a lesser prospect package than […]
61* is a 2001 film originally made for and released on HBO, that’s currently streaming on the HBO Max streaming service. Just for a basic synopsis, the movie focuses on the 1961 New York Yankees, specifically Roger Maris and Micky Mantle’s chase of Babe Ruth’s homerun record. First time screenplay writer Hank Steinberg, along with […]
The hottest rumor on the managerial carousel is that Albert Pujols will be managing a major league team in 2026. Some of the franchises linked to him have gone in another direction, while one has him at the top of their list. The Los Angeles Angels, who were thought to be his top suitor, instead hired […]

Ex-Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov knows what it feels like to arrive with expectation, a reputation, and an immediate demand to deliver. He’s been there twice, in fact. First at Tottenham Hotspur, where he took time to adapt to English football’s pace and intensity, and later at Manchester United, where his languid brilliance sometimes disguised […] The post Dimitar Berbatov shares “world class” advice for Florian Wirtz amid critics for Liverpool star appeared first on Paisley Ga...
2025 In A Discarded-On-The-Dugout-Floor Nutshell I’m not going to put his season in a discarded nutshell, because that’s what his season was itself. You should not care about Jordan Hicks’ results in 2025. Someone reading this, or someone reading the headline and nothing else, is going to see that he finished the season with a […]
As a fan of a struggling team you get to learn a lot about the MLB Draft every year. It is what provides fans of rebuilding teams hope. While you can’t get the instant impact from draft picks like NBA or NFL teams do, you can still strike gold. However, the new draft system is […]
Free agency is fast approaching, though there’s still a little time until the countdown begins. The offseason will kick off in full five days after the end of the World Series, which will continue until Friday at a minimum. In preparation for this, let’s take a look at where the Brewers’ payroll stands heading into […]
We got a good one, folks. Better than last year in terms of drama, but not in terms of Yankees humiliation. Six of one, half a dozen of the other, amirite?
Right now, it’s a bit tricky to forecast what kind of decisions the Detroit Tigers will make this offseason. Everything depends in one way or another what they decide to do with ace Tarik Skubal as we near his final offseason before free agency. So before we start tackling the state of the rest of […]
We’ve talked for years about how Ronny Mauricio is a flawed player. Blessed with impressive bat speed and passable contact ability, his lack of approach and injury-driven tumble down the defensive spectrum left him on the fringes of true prospectdom. Despite these flaws, we still ranked Mauricio as the 10th best prospect in the system […]
Optioned to AAA Lehigh Valley at the trade deadline to make room for Harrison Bader on the 26-man roster, Johan Rojas hasn’t been seen in Philadelphia in months. It’s 2025 stats: 172 PA, .224/.280/.289, 1 HR, 18 RBI, 23.2 K%, 7.6 BB%, 58 wRC+, 0.4 fWAR What went right: This one is a double edged […]
Scoring six runs is a feat that the Dodgers have achieved just once since the Wild Card series, which they did in Monday’s 18 inning thriller. Scoring any runs became a nearly impossible feat against the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday, as the series is now tied at two games apiece with the series forced […]
