Ben Brown didn’t exactly put his best foot forward, allowing three runs in 2.1 innings against the Padres. He was a little wild. The Cubs had those special bats with ball-avoidance radar. One run would have been enough to defeat them. *means autoplay on, (directions to remove for Firefox and Chrome). {$} means paywall. {$} means limited views. Italics are […]
The Vancouver Canucks snapped a nine-game losing streak on the road with a 6-3 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday night at the United Center. While the game wasn’t as dreadful as the score suggests, let’s recap this very winnable game for the Hawks. Ryan Donato opened up scoring just over a minute into the game after collecting his own dump-in. GOAL: What a move by Ryan Donato to open the scoring early. pic.twitter.com/1dbZ3yGdRf — BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) March 7, 2026 ...
CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Charge continued their impressive season on Friday as they cruised to an easy 125-99 win over the shorthanded Windy City Bulls thanks to standout performances from Riley Minix and Tristan Enaruna. The victory pulls the Charge within a half game of the top spot in the conference. G League success is […]
For the fourth consecutive trade deadline day, the Edmonton Oilers didn’t make a trade. Of course, the Oilers made their moves earlier this week, acquiring Connor Murphy, Jason Dickinson, and Colton Dach from the Chicago Blackhawks for a 2028 second, a 2027 first, and Andrew Mangiapane in two separate trades. Overall, those weren’t bad trades…

Go get ‘em, Ben.

Garrett Bradbury’s stay in Foxborough has reached its end after one campaign. The New England Patriots have agreed to trade the veteran center to the Chicago Bears in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick in 2027, per Friday reports from NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, The Athletic’s Dianna Russini and ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The move cannot […]
The New England Patriots will have a new starting center in 2026. Garrett Bradbury, who filled that role for all 21 games last season, has been traded to the Chicago Bears in exchange for a fifth-round selection in the 2027 NFL Draft. Let’s put a grade on the move based on the information we have […]
The Chicago Bears have addressed their vacancy at Center. Albeit not with a name most people were expecting. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Bears have reached an agreement with the New England Patriots for veteran center Garrett Bradbury. The reported cost is for a 2027 5th-round pick. This deal cannot be made official […]
Record 7-7. Change on 2025: +0.5. 5-inning record: 4-9-1. The D-backs found themselves swept on both sides of today’s split squad double-bill, with fairly weak line-ups in both games. Starting off at Salt River Fields, a pair of three-run homers did all the damage as the White Sox blanked the D-backs 6-0. They were allowed […]
If you are going to produce few hits, might as well make them count. The White Sox chased a morbid offensive effort on Thursday night with one not much better on Friday. The difference? Two of the hits left the yard, and with the sacks close to packed. Or, in other words: Five-hit games don’t […]
Friday notes… Here are today’s particulars. Cubs lineup: Padres lineup: Ben Brown will start for the Cubs. Other Cubs pitchers scheduled today: Ethan Roberts, Ryan Rolison. Jack Neely, Collin Snider and Grant Kipp. Germán Márquez will start for the Padres. Other Padres pitchers scheduled today: Marco Gonzales, Adrian Morejon, David Morgan and Jeremiah Estrada. Today’s game […]
The Chicago Blackhawks return to the United Center on Friday night following a four-game road trip (five if you count before the Olympic break) and host the Vancouver Canucks. The Canucks sit dead last in the standings with an 18-36-7 record (good enough for a whopping 43 points). As the Canucks deal with the existential crisis of committing to a rebuild, a 1-7-2 record in their last 10 games has slid by, including losses in their last three games. With the trade deadline dominating headl...
Double your pleasure, double your fun! More taste! Less filling! And other appropriate advertising jingles of the seventies. For Arizona plays two games this afternoon. Attention will probably be focused on the White Sox game, because you can at least listen to that, through a dbacks.com livestream, hosted by Chris Garagiola alongside Jake Lamb. The […]
We got another game today, a quick turnaround from last night’s massacre at Camelback Ranch. Matchups and injuries later in March aside, the top two-thirds of this lineup could be close to what you see on Opening Day in Milwaukee: Anthony Kay, top lefty on the staff at least for the moment, gets his third […]
Today we look at the Cubs’ veteran swingman. Cascade, Iowa-born Colin Rea is a well-traveled player, having had stints as a Padre, Marlin, Cub, Brewer, and Cub again. In seven years in the majors, he’s amassed a 1.9 bWAR (4.4 fWAR), a record of 37-27, a 4.41 ERA, 91 home runs, 182 bases on balls, […]
On the latest Kap & J. Hood Show on ESPN 1000, ESPN’s Courtney Cronin dropped plenty of Chicago Bears nuggets about the upcoming free agency period, but what stood out to me was her thoughts on the ongoing comp pick saga the Bears are in with the NFL as it relates to the Atlanta Falcons […]
Over the last few days, it certainly seemed like Nick Foligno was going to be traded at some point before the deadline, but the destination was the real mystery. That question was answered on Friday morning when reports surfaced that the veteran forward was headed to the Minnesota Wild. The Chicago Blackhawks confirmed the move shortly after the initial reports: trade alert🔔 pic.twitter.com/RM7o5GjQEX — Chicago Blackhawks (@NHLBlackhawks) March 6, 2026 The Blackhawks are r...
1914 The White Sox returned home from their around-the-world series of exhibition games against the New York Giants. The Sox went 24-20-2, but the added 46 games took their toll when the regular season began in late April. For the year, the Sox would end up in sixth place, 30 games out with a record […]
Earlier this week, we asked you guys this question: Do you expect the Chicago Bears to make a big offseason splash? And after the poll closed, the Bears swung a big trade for DJ Moore. Would you consider the trade big, or is your idea of “big” a Maxx Crosby trade? To me, the Moore […]
Nick Foligno has been a tremendous veteran leader and mentor for the young Chicago Blackhawks the past three seasons, but he has said his goodbyes this morning and is on his way to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for future considerations (i.e. nothing, really). The Blackhawks are trading captain Nick Foligno to the Minnesota Wild where he can play with his brother Marcus 👊🏻 pic.twitter.com/A9mNQDCx5m — Nasty Knuckles (@NastyKnuckles) March 6, 2026 The Hawks did Foligno a solid, as he'll...
