So this is all settled right? Not a chance.
Also, No Habs No!
Blue Jays 6 Orioles 5 Back to .500. Bullpen days are a terrible thing to watch. One of my lines is that if you use a lot of relievers, you are likely to find the one that doesn’t have it on that day. And the Jays did find that guy. The second pitcher into the […]
The Nuggets could make changes next year. This Raptors trade swap should be considered.
Adam Macko gets the ‘start’ tonight (likely closer to an opener). I don’t know what they expect out of him. Two innings, three? The most he threw in Buffalo is 2.1 innings. Austin Voth is to be the ‘bulk’ guy. And they are planning another bullpen day Sunday. And Charles McAdoo makes his MLB debut, […]
Trevor Rogers will look to get back on track tonight against the Blue Jays. The Orioles received a quality start from Chris Bassitt yesterday, but the offense failed to carry its weight in a 2-1 loss. Baltimore will need to score more than two runs tonight if Rogers’ recent woes continue. Adley Rutschman (DH) and […]
Mitch Marner's Stanley Cup pursuit with the Vegas Golden Knights is re-igniting a fierce debate over his exit from the Toronto Maple Leafs. Adam Proteau gives his thoughts.
The Toronto Maple Leafs ' head coaching search has already taken a number of twists and turns, and in-person interviews aren't even fully underway yet. It was just two days ago that we heard from a couple of insiders that the Leafs were granted permission to interview former Edmonton Oilers head coach Jay Woodcroft (currently an assistant coach with the Anaheim Ducks), and that he was a 'frontrunner' for the job in Toronto. But now we're hearing that not only is an interview not co...
McTavish is coming off a season of 17 goals and 24 assists in 75 games.
While Mitch Marner's getting much of the attention for thriving in the playoffs one year after leaving the Toronto Maple Leafs, Nikolaj Ehlers is doing the same with the Carolina Hurricanes.
Music City Rodeo cowboys Sam Petersen and Tilden Hooper help tell the story of Nashville's electric atmosphere for Game 1 of the 2017 Stanley Cup final.
Today marks Joe Biagini’s 36th birthday. Biagini joined the Jays as a Rule 5 draft pick before the 2016 season and, somewhat unexpectedly, became a key bullpen contributor. He appeared in 60 games with a 3.06 ERA and served as a long reliever, pitching two innings in 13 of those outings. He was also known […]
Tomorrow I start my annual tradition of writing way too many words on several prospects that will very likely not be drafted by the Leafs. Let the tea and stream of consciousness flow!
Good morning, Camden Chatters. The good vibes of the Orioles’ sweep of the first-place Rays did not carry into their next series, at least not for the opener. The O’s slipped back to five games under .500 with their 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays, as their offense, which had plated 26 runs in three […]
*It’s going to be nice this weekend, you, dear reader, should go outside and enjoy it. The Stanley Cup Final starts next week. [ TSN ] *There was a lot said about what the Young Kids would learn from this season’s teensy little playoff run, but don’t forget that the old heads an learn something too.

Going into the 2025-26 season, Ron Harper Jr.’s NBA career was seemingly stuck in mud. After going undrafted in 2021 out of Rutgers, he began his career with the Toronto Raptors for the first two seasons of his career where he played a total of 10 NBA games. He started last season with Boston in […]

Blue Jays 2 Orioles 1 I guess we scored some runs yesterday, so it was too much to ask for us to get more than two today. We scored: We had 6 hits and 5 walks, so you would have hoped for more runs. But such is life. No one had two hits. Okamoto was […]
Game one of four in Baltimore. There have been moves. McAdoo is up. Sosa is on the Il. I bet you didn’t know that inability to take a walk was something that could land you on the IL. Seabold is on the roster, Chase Lee is headed to Buffalo. Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS ORIOLES George […]
If I had a dollar for every time someone has brought up the Earl Weaver quote that momentum is the next day’s starting pitcher, I could probably take a nice vacation. It comes up so often it is kind of a joking cliche. Yet the reason it is deployed so often is there is an […]
After the shocking good fortune of winning the No. 1 overall pick in this year's NHL Draft Lottery, the Toronto Maple Leafs , by all accounts, seem set to take either Gavin McKenna (most likely) or Ivar Stenberg as a blue-chip building block for the future when this year's Draft takes place next month. Or will they? According to insider Pierre LeBrun in The Athletic , new Toronto GM John Chayka is not opposed to listening to offers from rival teams interested in the top pick. Not t...
Claude Lemieux, who died at 60, was a winner. He won in the QMJHL, he won on the international stage and he won in the NHL. Ken Campbell remembers the four-time Stanley Cup champion.
PHOENIX, Ariz. — Sterlin Thompson (No. 13 PuRP) is most famous among Colorado Rockies fans for being drafted with the compensatory draft pick they received from the departure of Trevor Story. Thompson was drafted 31st overall in 2022 and finally made it to the bigs nearly three years later. Thompson was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque […]
Claude Lemieux, a four-time Stanley Cup champion who ranks fifth in NHL history for most playoff games played, died at 60 years old.
Edmonton Oilers defenceman Evan Bouchard was knocked out of Team Canada’s quarter-final game against the U.S. Thursday after being on the receiving end of a dirty hit. He took the hit just 6:12 into the first period of the game, when Bouchard skated the puck into the American zone. U.S. defenceman Ryan Lindgren stepped up…
