Clemson and Penn State met today in the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl. When I told my wife what bowl game we were playing in she said “What the hell is that?” and I laughed hard. How far we have fallen. Both teams had high hopes at the beginning of the season, but things just […]
When we last left off with Bobby Miller in 2024, here was his prognosis for the coming year at True Blue LA: …Bobby Miller finds himself at a crossroads in his career. Whether [2024] was an aberration or the new normal is entirely up to him. Fixing his fastball has to be the top priority. […]

It takes two to tango, so further contract extensions won’t take place unless there is desire amongst the remaining players the A’s might wish to extend. And unless there is further willingness on the part of A’s ownership to commit ‘real money’ beyond what is already committed. This dance is an intricate one: searching for […]
This Cubs offseason appears to be, at least so far, “Sign All The Relievers Except The Big-Name Ones” year for Jed Hoyer. Next up: Hunter Harvey was the Orioles’ first-round pick (22nd overall) in 2013 out of high school in North Carolina and eventually wound up with the Nationals, where he had a couple of […]

The Keegan Thompson era of Cincinnati Reds history lasted nearly two months and featured exactly zero innings of actual professional baseball. That is, of course, if it actually ends today – and it sure looks like it has. The Reds designated the right-hander for assignment on Saturday as they were in need of a 40-man […]
The Twins were the most active sellers at last season’s trade deadline, offloading an incredible ten big league players in a fire sale aimed at both reopening a contention window for 2026 and building a prospect base for their long-term plans.

Well, that was a bit of a whirlwind, wasn’t it? The valiant 900 Loyal Royals who made the 400-mile round trip to Plymouth on Boxing Day were treated to a classic Reading Football Club rollercoaster ride. A crazy opening half an hour saw the hosts go down to 10 men and Reading bag three. You’d […]
Seeing as the Week 17 matchup between the 2-13 New York Giants and 2-13 Las Vegas Raiders has been appropriately nicknamed the ‘Tank Bowl’, there aren’t many storylines to keep tabs on outside of the No. 1 overall pick of the 2026 NFL draft.
