No Reason Why: Blackhawks at Rangers
The Chicago Blackhawks wrap up a set of back-to-back games against the New York Rangers on Friday night. In the house of the worst home team in the NHL, the Hawks have a chance to make amends for last night’s turnover debacle . The last time these two met was a 3-0 shutout for Chicago at the United Center on Dec. 3. The New York Rangers were having an up-and-down start to the season. Since then, it’s been mostly down. The Rangers sit in 31st place with 65 points and were officially elimin...
Pete Crow-Armstrong is exactly who the Cubs need as the face of the franchise
The Cubs officially announced the long-term signing of Pete Crow-Armstrong by press release late Thursday. As is the team’s custom, they did not announce the terms, though it has been reported as a six-year, $115 million deal with no opt-outs that will begin next year. That binds PCA to the Cubs through 2032. Late Thursday, […]

Today in White Sox History: March 27
1938After losing four straight exhibition games to the Cubs, a Luke Appling home run helps knock off the White Sox rivals, 10-9, in Los Angeles. That was the good news. The bad news came in the ninth inning, when Appling at first base took off on a hit and run, with batter Joe Kuhel fouling […]
The North East Remains Red And White!
Boos rang around St James’ Park shortly before 2:00pm as we triumphed on Tyneside once again. During the second half, the Lads were magnificent and overall, apart from a sloppy first fifteen minutes, we were by far the better team. With several first-team players out, our defence was patched up and after conceding early, it […]
Trippin’ on a Hole in a Paper Heart: Flyers 5, Blackhawks 1
In a sloppy, turnover-filled mess from start to finish, the Chicago Blackhawks fell 5-1 to the Philadelphia Flyers Thursday. The Flyers opened the scoring just 48 seconds into the game. Spencer Knight tried to play the puck to Artyom Levshunov, but Christian Dvorak hustled to intercept the pass and fed Alex Bump in front for an easy tap-in, giving the Flyers a 1-0 lead. Knight misplays it and the Flyers capitalize to open the scoring: pic.twitter.com/iiLIP7m9nm — BHF (@Blackhaw...

Nationals 10, Cubs 4: That’s not the way I’ve always heard it should be
They might as well have stayed in Arizona. The Cubs got blasted 10-4 by the Nationals on Opening Day, and the weather, well, it was what you would expect for late March — 49 degrees, very windy, annoying light rain showers off and on. Matthew Boyd, who was so good at Wrigley Field all of […]

Brewers steamroll White Sox in 14-2 Opening Day victory
Box Score Well, it’s hard to imagine Opening Day having gone much better for the Brewers. Milwaukee’s bats came alive early and never let up, while Jacob Misiorowski and the bullpen shut down the White Sox to earn the Brewers a convincing victory.

Washington Nationals powered to a 10-4 Opening Day win by unlikely heroes
The Washington Nationals started their season off on the right foot with a statement 10-4 win over the Cubs. While the bats were quiet during Spring Training, they came to play in the season opener.

In what would end up as virtually the only highlight […]
