Last week, the WNBA established a historic seven-year collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that will run through 2032, paving the way for astronomical league growth. In what will be marked as one of the biggest breakthroughs in women’s professional sports, the WNBA has proven that league growth, competitive parity and expansion are not mutually exclusive. MLB, […]
The story of the Yankees’ 2026 season so far has been all about the pitching. They opened the season with two shutouts, courtesy of Max Fried and Cam Schlittler. The second time through the rotation began on Tuesday night, and Fried continued his good work, once again not allowing a run. That set the stage […]
Quarterbacks. In the NFL, if you have a good one, then you have a decent chance of posting a winning record, possibly winning a playoff game, and perhaps even a championship. If you don’t? Well, then you are the Arizona Cardinals, New York Jets, Las Vegas Raiders, or the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland has employed so […]
The Arizona Cardinals had nothing but problems last year with their running back room. Both starters, James Conner and Trey Benson, became injured and found IR their new home. This forced the offense to use their primary backups, and also brought up practice squad guys. RELATED: ROUGH DRAFT – RB EMMETT JOHNSON PROFILE One of […]
March results When we checked in at the beginning of March, spring training was under way. We had addressed the first-base situation, with Carlos Santana signed to provide veteran presence. However, Corbin Carroll had been forced to miss time due to a broken hamate bone in his hand – though fortunately, that proved to be […]
After the day off following the home opening win, the Royals are hopefully not going to get rained out for their second game in the Twins series. A win tonight would mean that Kansas City would win their first in division series of 2026 with a potential sweep set up for tomorrow. Standing in the […]
I can’t believe we’re here, you guys!!! It’s all led to this. The NCAA Regionals. The goal, obviously, is to advance to the NCAA National Championships in Fort Worth in a few weeks, just as they did last year when they shocked the country and ended up in third place, beating out Utah in the […]
On an extremely cold and windy afternoon at Wrigley Field that really wasn’t suitable for baseball, Matthew Boyd looked like the Boyd of 2025 in getting to the sixth inning and striking out 10 Angels hitters. That, some solid relief and timely hitting by the Cubs led to a 6-2 victory and a series win […]
Game night, all night;Here we go; I don’t know what to feel.Been a long flight, an early-spring blightIn the Show where they go out with zeal. Long time under the lightTo watch a flailing team of the sorriest sight;Goodbye, nine; when crossing the line,Should we start up this game or go down in flame? Bored […]
Game Summary After a one hour plus rain delay, the Mets and Cardinals matched up in a pitcher’s duel, with Liberatore carrying a no-no into the fifth inning.

West Coast game times, we won’t miss you! The initial two series of the Tigers season have been rough for anyone with a strict bedtime, and the results have been more mixed than fans would have liked, but the Tigers took to the field on Wednesday hoping to keep the Diamondbacks from completing the series […]
Six games in, and it’s safe to say that—outside of the offensive outburst on opening day—the bats have gotten off to a slow start for the Mets. They haven’t scored more than four runs in a game since that first one, and numerous games have gone into extra innings because the Mets couldn’t bring enough […]

The Red Sox cannot wipe away this road trip fast enough. Fenway Park, here they come. Another loss to the Houston Astros, a 6-4 final on Wednesday, spelled more of the same. Too many strikeouts. Too many errors. Not good enough in any phase. Not even Crochet Day could put the Red Sox back in […]
Rockies 1 at Blue Jays 2 (10) It was one of those games where the starting pitcher was going to have to be almost flawless for his team to win. Kevin Gausman was up to the task and did his damnedest in holding the Rockies at bay for six innings, a but bullpen wobbles and […]
The Washington Nationals suffered their first truly heartbreaking loss of the season. They had a 5-1 lead in the 7th inning, but could not finish off the Phillies. The veteran laden Phillies took advantage of the young Nats issuing walks and making mistakes in the field. Blake Butera’s bunch fought, but they could not finish. […]
The weather may have been warm in Miami, but Chicago’s bats? Ice cold. The pitching? Somewhere south of that. The White Sox dropped to 1-5 on the young season after getting thoroughly flattened, 10-0, by the Miami Marlins in a game that somehow felt over before most people had finished their first bite of lunch. […]
4-2 sure beats the crap out of 0-7, right? Indeed, the Atlanta Braves have gotten their season off on the right foot following a successful homestand to get things going. Atlanta took the opening series with two straight wins over the Royals to start things off and now they’ve kept things going in the right […]
Alessandro Bastoni is in the midst of a tough week after being sent off for Italy in their World Cup play-off final against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Tuesday night. The red card proved extremely costly as the Azzurri ended up seeing their World Cup dreams go up in smoke yet again after losing a penalty […]
First, Andrew Painter had a highly successful debut. Now, Justin Crawford has himself a walkoff hit, giving the Phillies a much needed victory at home, evening their record at 3-3. One would have thought it was going to be a lot easier the way the game started. Trea Turner walked, stole a base and scored […]
What began as a pitcher’s duel resulted in an extra-inning victory for the Colorado Rockies as they defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 2-1 to conclude their first road trip of the season.

Box Score The Brewers picked up another win on Wednesday afternoon, wrapping up their season-opening homestand with another series win behind a solid pitching performance and a late offensive surge.

Early season schedules are a peculiarity, and a getaway game on an early April afternoon is one of those things. The Rays were licking their wounds from a rough loss on Tuesday night—but a blessedly solid outing from the returning Shane McClanahan—and were hoping to come away with a series win before hitting the road. […]
