Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
Coming into Week 8, the Ravens knew they had to make some changes. At 1-5, their playoff chances were slipping away, and Lamar Jackson still wasn’t back under center. So, the team went to work over the bye, making several key adjustments that showed up in Sunday’s victory over the Bears. Here’s how Baltimore saved […]
The calendar is turning to November and it’s time for teams to really separate themselves. Teams that are going to make a run at the playoffs have to start playing well. The teams that aren’t, are going to shift into “who do we fire?” and “how high will the draft pick be?” mode. Thankfully, the […]
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
Do you ever feel like punishing yourself for no real reason? That’s not the feeling that led me to revisit the “Bold Predictions” I made about the 2025 White Sox heading into the season, but by the time I was done with them, it sure felt like an exercise in self-flagellation. That’s a bit of […]
After 10 games, how does this Blackhawks team line up with the expectations from the season?
Finally, I think I’ve got one here that all of us can agree on. Nico Hoerner was one of the top players in the National League this year. He might have received an All-Star nod if he’d hit somewhat better in the first half. Overall his year was worth 6.1 bWAR, which ranked tied for […]
Baltimore Ravens (2-5) The Ravens snapped a four-game losing streak out of the bye last Sunday, earning a desperately-needed 30-16 victory over the Chicago Bears — who had won four straight contests entering the matchup. Baltimore’s defense held the Bears to just one touchdown while scoring three of their own and winning the turnover battle. […]
The (first) day has arrived. When the 2025-26 regular season schedule was released, everyone I know went looking for the same specific games: Blackhawks vs. Jets.

After two years away from the bright lights of the NHL, the longest tenured captain in the history of the Chicago Blackhawks decided to lace the skates back...

Edit [10/30/2025 8:45AM]: Total scoring has been updated, due to a miscalculation in my spreadsheet not counting the turnover as -1.00 and updating the second intentional grounding. Overall grade has dropped to 1.65, which is still firmly an Average grade. As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. And end it […]
We cover the coverage like PCA covers center field. The Cubs have things to do. I’ve no doubt that the current scarcity of Cub coverage is only due to the ongoing finale to the season, a dramatic World Series between the mighty Dodgers and ineffable Blue Jays, who seek to cast a fog upon LA. […]

1959 He was acquired before the start of the 1958 season, and part of the cost was trading the popular Minnie Miñoso, so pitcher Early Wynn didn’t start out on the right side of things with a lot of Sox fans. Compounding the issue was a mediocre 1958 season. In 1959, however, Wynn turned back the clock, leading the major […]

Against the Ghosts of Chicago Bulls Past, Matas Buzelis looked eager to remind fans that the organization has entered a new era. The second year forward was in full attack mode from the jump, starting the night 3-4 from the field with 7 points in under 4 minutes of action. His sense of urgency immediately showed the rest of his teammates how easy it would be to attack this Kings’ defense. The Bulls started to penetrate the paint with ease, scoring 16 of their first 27 points inside. The o...

The Bears’ four-game winning streak came to an end on Sunday, as they fell 30-16 to a Ravens team without Lamar Jackson to drop their record to 4-3. The flashbacks to last year are natural, seeing as though last year’s Bears started at 4-2 and proceeded to lose each of their next ten games. As […]
The Chicago Bulls welcomed Zach LaVine back to the United Center with open arms on Wednesday night. Returning to Chicago for the first time since he was traded away in February, the guard was met with plenty of cheers when his name was called during the Kings’ starting lineup introductions.
