Misner was a standout at Mizzou, and hit .213/.273/.345 with five home runs in 71 games for the Rays last year. Misner originally hails from Poplar Bluff, Missouri and was drafted […]
The Chicago Bears have gone from getting their own coach fired to causing other teams to launch theirs in less than a calendar year. In case you missed it: The New York Giants have sent Brian Daboll packing. This news comes less than 24 hours after the Giants blew a 10-point fourth-quarter lead in their Week 10 loss to the Bears. It was the fourth game this season in which the G-Men have coughed up a double-digit lead. But make no mistake about it: That loss to the Bears was the straw tha...
This will likely be the first and hopefully last time that I’ll ever share content with you about myself as I would much prefer to talk about our beloved St. Louis Cardinals. However, I think I need to introduce myself so you’ll understand my backstory and how more than five decades living and dying with […]
The offseason is in full swing, and the process of retooling the Yankees’ roster has begun. The team has picked up their option on left-handed reliever Tim Hill, extended a qualifying offer to outfielder Trent Grisham, and will soon have to make some 40-man roster decisions with the Rule 5 Draft coming up on the […]

What would the Seattle Seahawks do for an encore after their 38-14 destruction of the Washington Commanders? Apparently, just do it all over again but at home. In next to no time, the Seahawks were up 21-0 in the first quarter against the Arizona Cardinals, and at halftime it was a 38-7 rout. Yes, the […]
The Royals are adding Marcus Thames to their coaching staff as a hitting coach, according to MLB.com reporter Anne Rogers. Last week they added Connor Dawson as an assistant hitting coach. Both will work under director of hitting performance Alec Zumwalt. Thames was a 10-year MLB outfielder with the Yankees, Rangers, Tigers, and Dodgers, who […]
The first thing to know about this game is that it was an unusually warm day for April in Chicago. It was 85 degrees at game time, and wound up being 92 degrees, which is still, 45 years later, the highest temperature ever recorded in Chicago in the month of April. This was just the […]
Some Chicago Cubs prospects bits for you today … The Arizona Fall League’s Fall Stars Game was this weekend, with Cubs catching prospect Owen Ayers hitting in the middle of the lineup. He’s still raking in the league overall, by the way, hitting .365/.529/.587. He has more than twice as many walks as strikeouts, and nearly as many extra-base hits as strikeouts.

Another week, another Chicago Bears comeback victory. It would sure be nice for this team to win in blowout fashion at some point in time. My stress levels would appreciate it. That being said, what a thrilling victory on Sunday over the New York Giants. A cold, windy, and snowy day led to not much […]
Let’s jump right into some of the key plays from the first quarter. Cal’s first play of the game gave us all evidence that they would be doing anything and everything on offense to get chunk plays. They didn’t likely know it at the time, but the Cards were in for a Cal game plan […]
According to reports from ESPN, the New York Giants have fired head coach Brian Daboll. The former Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator was in his fourth season at the helm of the Giants. His overall record during his tenure was 20-40-1 in the regular season, and 1-1 in postseason play. Daboll’s firing comes on the heels […]
After one of the most humiliating performances in recent memory, the Arizona Cardinals now sit at 3-6 on the season. More than that though, they sit at the worst spot in sports… purgatory. After the game ended and the dust settled, they are 12th in the NFC playoff standings, with all three NFC West teams […]
Amid fascinating MVP debates, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s chase for NFL history, a deeper question remains: Will New York ever be good at football again? The New York Jets are a fiery mess while their former quarterbacks are scattered throughout the NFL to greater success. Now, the New York Giants, themselves a barrier to no one, […]

How Acquired The Braves drafted Colby Jones in the 13th round of the 2024 MLB Draft out of a Florida JUCO. Jones was an Alabama commitment who was known more as a sum of all parts gamer type of player with some speed. What Were Expectations? There weren’t a ton of expectations for Jones this […]
The 2026 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List cruises forward, as we continue in our quest to communally rank the top 44 prospects in the San Francisco Giants organization. And the latest chapter brings us a name that I don’t have a lot to write about, other than to say this: I can’t wait to […]
Everything is connected in roster construction, such as the establishment of Austin Wells as a full-time starter in 2024, which resulted in the Yankees feeling comfortable enough to deal their veteran catcher, José Trevino, for some bullpen help. This is how New York ended up acquiring Fernando Cruz and his deadly splitter from the Cincinnati […]
The Brian Daboll era is over. The New York Giants are firing their head coach after a 2-8 start to the 2025 season. This development is bad news for the Philadelphia Eagles, who largely owned Daboll since he was hired in 2022. The Birds were 7-2 in nine meetings against him. Ironically, Daboll’s last-ever win […]
The New York Giants have fired Brian Daboll. They are the second NFL team this season to move on from their head coach as the Tennessee Titans dismissed Brian Callahan a few weeks back. It is a tough season to be a head coach named Brian… watch out Schotty. New York is going to be […]
How Acquired The Braves signed Didier Fuentes as an international free agent from Colombia in the 2022 class. Fuentes was hardly the headliner in that class, as he received a more modest $75k bonus in the class that was headlined by Diego Benitez. What Were Expectations? Expectations were high for Fuentes in 2025 coming off […]
Coming off last night’s Fall Stars Game, it’s a great time to check back in with the Cubs Boys of Autumn playing for the Mesa Solar Sox in the Arizona Fall League. The home run derby and the Fall Stars Game meant it was a short week for the Solar Sox with only four games […]
