Latest blog entries from Houston teams across every league
George Springer is back in the lineup and hitting lead off in the first of four games against the Twins. And Pinango is in the lineup too. It looks like they are going to give him some playing time. Brandon Valenzuela gets a start again, after a great game yesterday. Austin Martin is having a […]
It’s almost a shame the Orioles have another game of baseball to play today, because it’s going to be hard to top their game one performance. The O’s opened a doubleheader with an all-around fantastic win over the Astros, 10-3. Chris Bassitt posted his most impressive outing as an Oriole by a long shot, shutting […]

They’ll play their regularly scheduled 12:35 game followed by the makeup game about half an hour after the first one finishes. Last season the Orioles played […]

Game One: RHP Peter Lambert (1-1, 3.27 ERA) will make his 3rd start of the season as he takes on Orioles RHP Chris Bassitt (1-2, 6.75 ERA). Today will be Lambert’s […]
When Nick Caserio drafted Derek Stingley Jr. over Sauce Gardner I thought they got it wrong. But they didn’t. Sting is now considered the top CB in the NFL. When they drafted Kamari Lassiter I was hopefully optimistic he would contribute. He definitely has. When Calen Bullock heard his name called, I smiled cause he […]
At what point do the Houston Astros decide enough is enough? This question isn’t just about the players on the field, it extends to leadership at every level, from the manager to the front office. Around Major League Baseball, we’ve already seen organizations take decisive action. The Boston Red Sox recently made sweeping changes, moving on from Alex Cora and […]
The Buffalo Bills picked South Carolina defensive back Jalon Kilgore in the fifth round at No. 167 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft.

LOS ANGELES — Entering Game 5, the Lakers were still comfortably in the driver’s seat against the Rockets. Now, the car is slowing down, making a funny sound and the hazard lights are on. Houston took Game 5 in Crypto.com Arena and, suddenly, a matchup that was one game away from a sweep is just […]
The Rockets are coming home to Houston. Not to start their off season, but to play Game 6 of their first round series with the Lakers. The series is now 3-2 in favor of the Lakers, and of course it’s easy to see a world where they Rockets would be ahead 3-2. They aren’t, of […]
Allow me to contradict myself from something I said earlier in this series, but what an underwhelming crowd that was for a closeout game. In the opening two games, the Lakers faithful were awesome and had a huge hand in the purple and gold jumping out to an early lead in the series. But on […]
For the second year running, the Lakers will enter the playoffs with home court advantage. Unfortunately, the odds of this series playing out better than the last remain low. The Rockets await the Lakers this postseason, but the LA side they will meet is a much different one than the one they played during the […]
A largely lifeless offensive performance from the Lakers saw the Rockets take a second consecutive win in the series in Game 5 on Wednesday, 99-93. The purple and gold still lead the series 3-2. While Austin Reaves returned for the contest and eclipsed 20 points, few other Lakers showed up as offense was hard to […]
The Houston Texans did not have many holes on their roster entering the 2026 NFL Draft, but there were a few spots that needed work, and they addressed those needs early. ROUND ONE: Georgia Tech Guard Keylan Rutledge (A-) Regardless of all the additions that were made along the offensive line throughout free agency, it […]
You can never doubt Austin Reaves’ heart. After an initial recovery timeline that would have him out 4-6 weeks, Reaves returned to the court last week and will return to the lineup just under a month after suffering his injury, joining the Lakers for Game 5 against the Rockets on Wednesday. As has been the […]

The first 30 games of the 2026 season have been nothing short of a disaster for the Astros. Tuesday’s loss in Baltimore dropped their record to an AL-worst 11-19. Only the Phillies, who have fired their manager, and Mets, who could be next, have fewer wins across the sport. The struggles have been team-wide, but […]
When news of Kevin Durant’s initial knee injury first released, the Houston Rockets made the injury out to be a relatively minor thing. In fact, we didn’t even hear about the injury until Friday – one day before Game 1 of the Rockets’ series against the Los Angeles Lakers. Rockets coach Ime Udoka stated that […]
