Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
After a tumultuous 2024 season that saw the Bears cycle through 2 head coaches and 3 offensive coordinators while rookie QB Caleb Williams took an NFL-leading 68 sacks, the Chicago Bears spent the 2025 offseason setting up their young QB for success. They brought in offensive whiz kid Ben Johnson as head coach, acquired veteran […]
They're playing the kids.
The Cubs took advantage of a wild inning from Shane McClanahan in the second inning and plated two runs. It felt like it could have been more and they let the Rays off of the hook. Then in the bottom of the inning, a single and a couple of steals were followed by a batting […]
1970 The worst White Sox team in history began their forgettable season by getting pounded, 12-0, at home by the Twins before just 11,473 fans. Starting pitcher Tommy John only lasted into the fifth inning by giving up six runs (five earned). The Sox would go on to lose a franchise-record 106 games and before the […]

New York Giants All-Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence has requested a trade, and there are fan bases around the league that wonder if their team should make a move and try to acquire the dominating veteran. Out of due diligence alone, the Chicago Bears’ front office should make the call and inquire about the price. […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Is it dramatic to suggest that last night’s Orioles game against the White Sox was a must-win? Probably. But if the O’s had followed up an ugly sweep in Pittsburgh by losing to the two-time reigning worst team in the American League, even the most level-headed fans among us might have […]

Chicago’s final road game of the 2025-26 season ended with a defeat, this one a 3-2 loss to the San Jose Sharks. The Hawks scored first just a power play expired about nine minutes into the game, when some nifty puck movement resulted in a one-timer for Frank Nazar, with the resultant rebound leading to an easy tap-in for Ryan Donato: GOAL: Ryan Donato buries a rebound as the power play expires to open the scoring. pic.twitter.com/69k4nTzlKh — BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) April 7, 20...
It was a cold-night mix of sharp pitching and sloppy play, and despite a ninth-inning push, the White Sox managed just four hits in an anticlimactic end to their win streak. The Orioles didn’t do much better, though, with just seven hits. Both teams wasted the first inning, each stranding a player on second. Erick […]
After losing three games in a row over the weekend, the Orioles needed a win. And a win is what they got, even if it was a little too close for comfort. The offense was sluggish, this time against a team with a 6.19 ERA so far this year. Ryan Helsley struggled in the ninth […]

Head down to the comments to talk about Monday’s game against the Sharks! Game Preview
The San Jose Sharks host the Chicago Blackhawks tonight and the Sharks most definitely need a win against a team that’s out of the playoff race, especially if the Sharks want to stay in the race. As of this afternoon, the Sharks are two points out of a playoff spot but have a game in hand. Screenshot In other words, the team has a shot, but the margins are getting thinner every day and winning is starting to get more and more important. The Blackhawks would love to play spoiler,...
The Washington Wizards are coming off a frustrating loss to the Brooklyn Nets, but one that essentially will guarantee them a top 4 pick in this year’s Draft Lottery. They now play a double-header at home against the Chicago Bulls. That’s right, two games against the same team in the same place. Here’s the preview. […]
We all agree that the Orioles 3-6 start to the season is disappointing. But can we also talk about how it has been extremely weird? When Dean Kremer was optioned to the minors to start the season, common sense said that he’d be the next starter up. Then Zach Eflin got hurt, and the Orioles […]
Fresh off a three-game sweep of last season’s American League champs, the White Sox will host the Baltimore Orioles for a cold home stand. Some news and notes from the team ahead of the series: the White Sox claimed left-handed pitcher Doug Nikhazy off waivers from the Cleveland Guardians and have optioned him to Triple-A […]
The Rays played all last season in the home run prone Steinbrenner Field, and made their return to the pitcher-friendly Tropicana Field by….hitting three home runs. They won their home opener against the Chicago Cubs 6-4. Let’s start with the bad news. Anyone who had the wild fantasy that Shane McClanahan would return after over […]
Remember last year, when the Cubs bats were on fire for most of the first half? Yeah, me too. Remember last year, when the Cubs bullpen was solid for most of the year? Yeah, me too. Neither of those things is going well for the Cubs so far in 2026, and those were the primary […]
After losing 2 of 3 against the Brewers, the Royals now take a short road trip to Cleveland early this week before returning home to face the White Sox later this week. The weather will be pretty cold in Cleveland for this series, so they’ve already moved tomorrow’s game up in time to be during […]
The Chicago Bulls have fired General Manager Marc Eversley and Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Arturas Karnisovas. Bulls President and CEO Michael Reinsdorf released the following statement: Eversley and Karnisovas were both hired before the 2020-21 season, with the Bulls going 224-254 since then. Their only winning season during that period was 2021-22, earning […]
Go get ‘em, Jamo.
It happened! AKME, hit da bricks
The words “last” and “final” continue popping up in descriptions of Blackhawks games, as Chicago wraps up the road portion of its 2025-26 season on Monday night in San Jose against the Sharks. A quick glance at the standings suggests that San Jose is the superior team, as a win in this game would insert the Sharks into a three-way tie for the second wild card spot with Nashville and Los Angeles, which already have 81 points in 76 games and San Jose at 79 in 75. But the minus-36 goal diffe...
The Cubs have not started out the season well, and now have lost a second starting pitcher to injury: Boyd had a rough outing on Opening Day, but recovered and threw very well last Wednesday against the Angels, striking out 10. Let’s hope this turns out to be correct: Javier Assad has made two starts […]
