Not surprisingly, this has sparked a lot of discussion, as fans dissect not only the proposals themselves, but the statements issued by both sides in response to the other’s proposal. Already, […]
After a 21-30-1 season and failing to qualify for the Big Ten Tournament, Northwestern baseball desperately needs to turn things around. While aggressive transfer portal activity hasn’t necessarily translated to success for the Wildcats in recent years, eventually one of their swings is bound to result in a home run.

In the early, pre-Babe Ruth days of the franchise, the New York Yankees/Highlanders often featured great players who had or would go on to have championship success at the big league level. The issue was often that they just didn’t have the right combination of players, have them at the right age, or didn’t figure […]
Chicago White Sox first baseman Munetaka Murakami has been placed on the injured list after exiting his team's home game against the Detroit Tigers on Friday night with a hamstring injury.

Both sides would leave runners […]
We have talked about him quite a bit this season, but Curtis Mead’s production at the plate continues to amaze me. The Aussie has gone from a short side of a first base platoon to the everyday third baseman on the strength of his bat. As a prospect, Mead was supposed to be an elite […]

After finishing their longest homestand of the season with a 3-6 record and a first-third of the season record of 31-24, the San Diego Padres know they have problems. No one on the team seems to be trying to deny it. The offense is the worst in baseball. The starters also have issues but have […]
What John Sterling always said was true. You can’t predict baseball, Suzyn. Except sometimes you can have a pretty fair guess. The expected outcomes for the American League’s top two teams came to pass last night because both the Yankees and Rays are better than the A’s and Angels. If you’ll forgive getting blue from […]
