At a casino, once up, the term ‘playing with house money’ comes into play. Most believe the term originated in faro games in the west, where players were encouraged through early wins (often rigged) by the dealers to stay in, playing betting their winnings so they could get into their full funds. With the odds […]

Major League Baseball is the only one of the Big Four North American sports leagues not to have a salary cap. As a result, a potential salary cap is constantly–and I do mean constantly–a topic of discussion. The whole salary cap issue does wax and wane with the seasons, so to speak, and it’s waxin’ […]

Since Mark Teixeira retired at the end of the 2016 season, the New York Yankees have tried — and failed — to find a long term first baseman. Despite a promising cup of coffee in 2015, Greg Bird was beset by injuries and was out of the picture completely after 2019. Luke Voit took the […]

Pittsburgh Pirates star Paul Skenes has been the subject of trade rumors ever since he was named the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft. Baseball fans have thought that the Pirates would be unable to keep a star like Skenes, so trade proposals get thrown out every once in a while just […]

Staying up to watch 18 innings of World Series baseball was a mistake. And I’d do it again. I think this is just the beginning of us seeing a wave of comparisons between where Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is now and where Lions quarterback Jared Goff was at this time in Year 1 operating in Ben Johnson’s offense: Caleb Williams is near the point on the Jared Goff/Ben Johnson timeline when Goff's production went thru the roof. That isn't realistic for Williams right now based o...

LOS ANGELES — Will Klein didn’t start the season in the Dodgers organization, and spent the bulk of the first three rounds of the postseason at Camelback Ranch at the team’s spring training facility keeping his arm fresh. His first World Series game was his longest outing as a professional. And the Dodgers needed every […]

I’ll talk more about the game later. Everyone’s complaining about the lineup moves. The only one I really disagreed with was take Barger out. The others? Taking Kirk out was the right move, we needed someone who could run and giving his knees time off wasn’t a bad thing. And getting Bo out, for defense, […]

All the best stories are trilogies. The Iliad and the Odyssey weren’t complete until Vergil penned the Aeneid seven hundred years later. It took three books for Frodo to get the ring to Mount Doom. Steve Rogers’ character arc reached its natural conclusion after three films when he turned his back on the government that […]

Throughout the 2025 season, many Phillies fans mourned the absence of reliever Jeff Hoffman, who departed to the Blue Jays as a free agent. But the Phillies didn’t go Hoffmanless in 2025, as they (very briefly) had reliever Nolan Hoffman on the roster. If this name isn’t ringing a bell, that’s not surprising, as Hoffman […]

Jim Bowden mentioned the Cubs as a possible fit in his top-50 free agent rankings article, and Sahadev Sharma included Imai among the Cubs’ possible pursuits for this offseason. Here’s what Sharma wrote : “But perhaps the Cubs revisit some trade talks that stalled over the summer — Joe Ry...

By the time he was named player-manager of the Cincinnati Reds in 1984, Pete Rose was the proud owner of three World Series rings, 16 All-Star selections, and more than 4,000 hits. Yet, at the same time, Rose was — in his own words — “pushing toward disaster.” You know the rest of the story. […]

Matt Shaw was the Cubs’ No. 1 pick in 2023 out of Maryland and raced through the system, making his MLB debut this past March in Tokyo. Unfortunately, Shaw didn’t hit well early in the season.
