It’s the last Saturday before Thanksgiving, so here’s something to be thankful for, the Águilas Cibaeñas in Liga Dominicana are 19-3 going in to today’s contest.

1946 Two near-teammates on the White Sox in the 1970s, Cy Acosta and Rich McKinney, were born. McKinney, born in Piqua, Ohio, was chosen No. 14 overall by the White Sox in 1968 and made the majors in 1970. He played third, short, second and right field in a brief, two-season career on the South […]

The San Francisco Giants resigned infielder Osleivis Basabe to a new minor league contract. Basabe was traded from the Tampa Bay Rays last February and logged 477 PA, playing in 125 games for Triple-A Sacramento over the 2025 season. The 24 year old didn’t do much to distinguish himself offensively and was booted from the […]

Yoendrys Gómez made a strong first impression with his second team of 2025, though his time with the Dodgers was quite brief, just 11 days on the 40-man roster. The right-hander pitched in the majors in parts of 2023, 2024, and 2025 with the Yankees before getting designated for assignment by New York in April. […]
The Highs and Lows After a three and out to start the quarter, the Gophers were given the gift of a muffed punt. Taking over at Northwestern’s 28, Minnesota immediately scored a touchdown on a play action pass from Drake Lindsey to Javon Tracy. It was Tracy’s third touchdown reception of the day. Northwestern responded […]
The 1990s were an interesting time for the NHL. The Penguins won Stanley Cups at the start of the decade, Montreal won Canada's last Stanley Cup during that decade, the Rangers and Devils had their moments, and the Red Wings, Stars, and Avalanche were in an arms race as the decade finished as all won Stanley Cups as well. Wayne Gretzky was traded for the second time, Mario Lemieux retired, Patrick Roy was traded, and NHL expansion exploded. On the ice, teams were coming up with alternate, thir...
I don’t know what last Friday in Louisville was. I’m not sure anyone can call that football. But hey it worked for Clemson and the Tigers somehow eked out a win. Sometimes special teams and playing disciplined football matters. The good thing I guess is the Tigers weren’t terrible, except for 3rd down on offense. […]
All those warm, fuzzy Thanksgiving feelings are in the air, and I’ve been thinking about reasons Dodgers fans can be grateful this year. Here are a few thinks I’m thankful for after the team’s back-to-back World Series wins. 1. An ownership group that spends The rest of the league can complain all they want, but […]
2025 was Nathan Lukes first full season in the majors at age 30. He played 22 games for the Jays last year and 29 in 2023. He certainly put in the time in the minors. Nathan played 391 games in Triple A and 213 games in Double A, plus 124 games in A-ball. In Triple […]
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’...

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 […]
