For as badly as the 2025-26 season has gone for Liverpool’s men’s team, on the women’s side it’s been even worse—with the slight caveat perhaps that less was expected from them this season. Expecting less, though, is an awful long way from expecting relegation, which is where the women have found themselves. Up until now, […]

14. Roc Riggio (294 points, 19 ballots) Riggio, who was the headline prospect in the Jake Bird trade with the Yankees near last year’s trade deadline, is a decent up-the-middle defender who has both power and patience at the plate, all in a compact 5’9” package. The 23-year-old lefty-hitting, righty-throwing second baseman had a breakout […]

I met Clete Boyer once. In his later years, Boyer spent summers in Cooperstown, and my family went to see the Hall of Fame once almost every summer in the mid-2000s. We had a running joke about Boyer because every time we went, there was a sign in the downtown that said “Clete Boyer: SIGNING […]

We tried to tell ‘em about the Seattle Seahawks. Our Seattle Seahawks are Super Bowl champions!! The 29-13 score belies the fact that the Seahawks utterly dominated the New England Patriots. Some in the media were trying really hard to find ways that the Patriots could hang with the Seahawks. At the end of the […]

For much of the night, Super Bowl LX between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks was a defensively-dominated affair. There was no touchdown scored until the fourth quarter, and even then it took Seattle recovering a Drake Maye fumble to set it up. Ultimately, plays like those ended up making a difference in what […]

As you will recall, about a year ago MLB and ESPN jointly agreed to void the final three years of their deal. That would have been it between MLB and the “Worldwide Leader,” but later in 2025 the league and the channel put together another agreement that will keep baseball on ESPN this year, though […]

Baseball is all about probabilities, and that theorem also applies to prospects trying to become big leaguers. All players in professional ball have talent, of course; it’s just that the competition level is so high and the margin for error so thin that there is a chance of failure for just about everyone. So what […]

Earlier this winter, the Mets signed outfielder Cristian Pache to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training, a very standard offseason contract for a player looking to revitalize a stalled major league career. Pache, who last appeared in a major league game in 2024, will look to claim a roster spot after […]
