However you are spending this Thursday, here’s a look back at Game 7 of the World Series, a mere 26 days ago. A lot of things had to go right for the Dodgers to win a second straight championship. First came Max Muncy, whose solo home run in the eighth inning cut the Dodgers deficit […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
We cover the coverage like PCA covers center field. Ryan Helsley? Edwin Diaz? These are two of the names floating out there in the aether as the Cubs cast their net for next year’s relief corps with an eye toward qualifying for the postseason and garnering some of that sweet postseason lucre. This is supposing […]
On Tuesday, the Cardinals – to somewhat of a surprise – traded Sonny Gray. Most encouragingly, they traded Sonny Gray and picked up $20 million of the check. Well, I was wrong in two ways. I thought Gray had limited his trade pool more than he had and I did not expect Bill Dewitt to […]
On Wednesday morning, Warren Schaeffer was officially introduced as the eighth full-time manager in Colorado Rockies history. He and president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta then took questions from the media over Zoom, and here are some highlights: The Hiring Process DePodesta had an idea of what he wanted out of his manager, and he […]
Good morning, baseball fans! And Happy Thanksgiving to those who partake! Today, as many of us will be doing around the table later on, I wanted to reach out and see what everyone is thankful for from this year’s San Francisco Giants team. I know, I know. It wasn’t the most memorable of seasons. But […]
Braves History 1962 – The Milwaukee Braves trade slugger Joe Adcock and pitcher Jack Curtis to the Cleveland Indians for pitcher Frank Funk and outfielders Don Dillard and Ty Cline. MLB History 2001 – The major league owners vote unanimously to extend commissioner Bud Selig’s contract through 2006. 2019 – The Pirates fill the last […]
For a pair of teams who share the same division and have represented the American League in the World Series a combined eight times over the last 40 years, the relationship between the Blue Jays and Red Sox has been remarkably tame. There’s no signature clash, no recent season where one stood in the doorway […]
From everybody at Over The Monster, we’d like to wish you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving! May it be a day filled with family, friends, and food, and at least a little bit of a debate around the table regarding where Sonny Gray slots into the Sox rotation next year. Use this thread to […]
I’m thankful for David Ortiz and DAAAAAA Yankees lose! which became a viral sensation this year, expanding from just a Red Sox thing. — Mike Carlucci I’m thankful that Major League Baseball is in a great place, trending up from one of the best World Series of this century, complete with a normal offseason where […]
Liverpool very much appear to be a broken side. Having started the 2025-26 season off under the shadow of the tragic passing of Diogo Jota. Since then, poor performances and poor results have begun to pile up and pile on additional pressure, leaving a side that appears shattered. Bizarre mistakes, mental fragility, and the ability […]
1938 White Sox pitcher Monty Stratton, an American League All-Star in 1937 and one of the best young players in the game, accidentally shot himself in the leg while hunting, when his .22 caliber pistol discharged as he was replacing it in his holster; he had failed to engage the safety. Unable to get help, Stratton crawled […]
There are many interesting players who were left unprotected by other organizations following the recent Rule 5 roster deadline, and some of them look like they could fit in the bullpen if the Rays wanted to try their luck again after drafting two such prospects last offseason. Below are my top five Rule 5 pitching […]
It’s Thanksgiving and we need some news. There has been a trickle so far, but I want the waterfall. Oh well, I’m thankful for you, the readers, for keeping this ship afloat. We’re not perfect around here, but this is one of the best communities around. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Hello, friends. There are now 119 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day 2026. Probably nothing is going to happen on this particular day, Thanksgiving, in the United States. Or at least I’m going to take it quite personally if Mike Elias or anyone connected with the Orioles makes any kind of news today. I’ve got […]
The indulgence of the holiday season begins its yearly hard launch with Thanksgiving, a time for aggressive caloric intake through an assortment of meats and dishes that span the culinary spectrum. And who could indulge more at a meal than the men who are head football coaches in the Southeastern Conference. These men sit atop […]
There aren’t a whole lot of songs in the Thanksgiving holiday repertoire. Just about the only recent one, Adam Sandler’s “The Thanksgiving Song,” is already a nonsense spoof, so making a nonsense spoof of it is a tad redundant. Still, the probably best-known ditty of this holiday stems from a poem written by Lydia Marie […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about Mizzou Football Happy Thanksgiving, Mizzou fans! Despite what has been somewhat of a “down” season for Missouri — there’s still plenty of reasons to be thankful for around this program under head coach Eli Drinkwitz. The SEC’s leading rusher Ahmad Hardy is certainly one of those […]
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! Hope you have some good eating and relaxing parade/football-watching ahead of you. We are evidently doomed to watch the Cincinnati Bengals tonight but so it goes. We don’t have anything scheduled today on the site aside from Kevin’s overnight news post that went live earlier, so feel free to […]
Transparency in reportage: I wasn’t in the Yum! to cover the Thanksgiving Eve Cardinals game. Several reasons. 9:00 Tip off was at my normal bedtime. The game was against a Bottom Ten ranked school. Driving home late at night on one of the biggest bar nights of the year is not optimal for an old […]
New York Post | Matt Ehalt: Yankee Universe got a big of a scare Wednesday. For a brief moment, there was a viral claim that Yankee legend Paul O’Neill is fighting cancer. The YES Network, after speaking to Paulie, quickly corrected the record. The Network’s VP of Communications, Eric Handler, bluntly informed media outlets that […]
Yesterday, I started my overview of what I’d propose to do with the Blue Jays off season. Since that post, nothing of consequence has happened. In that post we took care of the boring stuff, talking about baseball players. Today is the fun bit: gory accounting details (plus some prospect chat). Payroll Parameters The Jays […]
I am mystified about a new report that the St. Louis Cardinals are already talking to manager Oli Marmol about an extension. I cannot come up with a good reason to explain the reason why. I just came across this article from MLB Trade Rumors that appears to be based off of a Derrick Goold […]
It’s the night before Thanksgiving here at BCB After Dark: the coolest club for night owls, early risers, new parents and Cubs fans abroad. Come on in and have a pre-holiday beverage with us. It’s cold out there, but it’s warm in here. We still have a couple of tables available and none of them […]
