After a tough loss in extras Tuesday evening, the White Sox put on a hitting clinic against the Twins, ending in a 15-2 blowout. David Sandlin pitched a gem through six innings, breaking franchise records, and both the small and long ball were prevalent tonight. There was even a grand slam! Believe it or not, […]
The White Sox look to take game three of this four-game set after dropping a game last night to the Twins. Yet another new face will make his debut tonight; this time, it’s pitcher David Sandlin. This debut is due to Noah Schultz’s injury; earlier this week, Schultz was placed on the 15-day injured list […]

An imploding rotation, disappearing offense and only two innings played with a lead.
Without commentary, I present all the numbers the Chicago Cubs have posted during their 10-game losing streak. They have been outscored 65-25 during the streak, so the average loss has been by four runs. The team has batted .185/.288/.293 (60-for-324) with 11 doubles, eight home runs and 87 strikeouts. The pitchers have a 6.18 ERA, […]
If there is anything we learned from the NFL Draft, it’s that the best-laid plans of draft pundits and casual mock drafters mean very little to the people running NFL draft rooms during those three days in April. Heading into the 2026 NFL Draft, many believed the Bears’ biggest priority was upgrading the defense, specifically […]
The Chicago Bulls are set to interview long-time Miami Heat assistant Chris Quinn for their HC job.
The Pittsburgh Pirates offense caught fire Tuesday night after a 12-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs. One of the bigger storylines from that game is rookie Esmerlyn Valdez hitting his second home run of the season in just his fourth game played. Valdez hit his first home run of his Major League career against the […]
It’s been a rough couple of weeks for Cubs baseball. Those two 10-game winning streaks feel like they were a long time ago as the Cubs dropped their 10th game in a row Tuesday night, falling 12-1 against the Pirates in Pittsburgh. It’s honestly an impressive amount of variance in their streakiness. The Cubs are […]
Yesterday, it was reported that the Arizona Cardinals were taking calls on defensive end Josh Sweat. No teams were specifically mentioned as possible trade suitors, but with the Chicago Bears seemingly having a need at the position, it makes sense for general manager Ryan Poles to check in on the cost. Much like it also […]
We’d have to travel in the way back machine to 2017 to find a team that had two 10+ game winning streaks and one 10+ game losing streak. That team was the Dodgers. It won 104 games and reached Game 7 of the World Series. So nothing in the numerology department says that the ship […]
1933 On the same day that the White Sox were awarded the very first All-Star Game, the club suffered their second-worst turnaround loss ever. Up 11-3 heading into the bottom of the eighth at Yankee Stadium, the White Sox surrendered 12 runs and wound up losing the game an inning later, 15-11. Ted Lyons surrendered […]
Yesterday I said the team was doing as well as it was because they had two MVP candidates in the lineup and everything else followed. Let's see where they stand today Wood : .276 / .413 / .551 14 2B, 15 homers, 9 SB (1CS), 46 BBs, 77Ks Abrams : .289 / .381 / .542, 11 2B, 2 3B, 12 HR, 7 SB (4CS), 25BBs, 47Ks Let's start with Wood because he's pretty easy. In 2024 when Wood broke onto the scene with an impressive half season debut, he was close to perfec...

Free of charge for the discerning reader. Happy birthday to Todd Hundley, and a mighty host of others. Today in baseball history, in 2006 – At Fenway Park, Curt Schilling becomes the 104th pitcher in major league history to reach 200 wins in the 6-4 triumph over Tampa Bay. Schilling becomes only the fourth pitcher to earn his 200th win while in a […]
The Chicago Cubs made two roster decisions. Nicky Lopez was designated for assignment to open a spot for outfielder Kevin Alcantara, who was recalled from Triple-A Iowa. And Ty Blach, who had been DFA'd by the Cubs one week ago, elected free agency, cleared waivers, and then signed right back with Chicago on a new minor league deal the same day. Ty Blach recently elected free agency after being DFA’d by the #Cubs last week. But he is now back in the organization https://t.co/wXMIyDwdCr —...
Charlotte Knights 4, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 0The Knights (27-25) leaned on a stellar night from the pitching staff and just enough timely offense to blank Jacksonville. Charlotte struck first in the second inning when Dru Baker showed off some thump, yanking his sixth homer of the season to bring home two runs and give the […]
The offense came up short for the Good Guys, going 2-for-13 with runners in scoring position in a frustrating 5-3 extra-inning loss to the Twins on the South Side tonight. This game had all the emotions: annoyance that the bats couldn’t ignite, excitement from a game-tying homer, shock after the go-ahead run was thrown out […]
It was a pitching duel tonight with the starters Joe Ryan and Sean Burke exchanging zeros for the first 3 innings before the Twins scored first in the 4th. Trevor Larnach started things off with a double, then Kody Clemens drove him in with a triple. A single by Austin Martin scored Clemens to give […]
