SEGABABAs are normal in baseball.
And so, a disappointing D-backs season ended. But, never fear! Because there’s still a chance to made some (hypothetical) money, depending on how your wagers went at the SnakePit casino! We welcomed suckers esteemed customers into the venue to place bets before the season. Now the season is in the books, it’s time to look […]
Barcelona president Joan Laporta has taken aim at Real Madrid TV ahead of Sunday’s Clasico at the Bernabeu. Real Madrid TV has regularly criticised La Liga referees and Laporta thinks it should not be allowed to happen. “Let’s prepare for a great match where we’re all convinced our team will give us great joy. Our […]
It has been well established that the Washington Nationals pitching staff was a disaster in 2025. They posted a 5.35 ERA as a team, which was the worst in team history. Unsurprisingly, there were not a ton of bright spots on this staff. However, Andrew Alvarez was the rare exception, as he was lights out […]
The nice part about the Jays being in the World Series is everybody I talk to wants to talk baseball. It is one of the few topics I don’t mind talking to strangers about. I’d be ok if we win by half a dozen or so again tonight. Yesterday it was a 22-year-old making his […]
With a massive game on Saturday between Mizzou and Vanderbilt, three star 2026 cornerback Ahmod Billins announced his commitment to the Tigers, becoming the 20th commit of Missouri’s 2026 recruiting class.

Winning a World Series title is hard, irrespective of how much better you might be than most, if not all of the competition. Winning one in a seamless fashion is an unrealistic goal and a bit disrespectful to the nature of the postseason in baseball. The Dodgers lost Game 1 of the World Series, and […]

The late great Joaquin Andujar, he of the 39 starts for Oakland and epic World Series meltdown with St. Louis, once famously said his favorite word to describe baseball was “You never know”. Youneverknow is indeed a terrific word and probably nothing better characterizes baseball. This was in evidence, as Exhibit Umpteenthousand003, in game 1 […]
“According to MLB insiders I know, people in the know in other organizations, they feel the Cubs will be there among the top suitors (Dylan Cease) … I would say it’s highly likely – like for sure – that he’s going to be looked at by the Cubs and be continued to be pursued.” Boom. There’s that first big Cubs offseason rumor we’ve been looking for ( and discussed the absence of yesterday ). Let’s get into it. Cubs To Pursue Dylan Cease According to Bruce Levine on Inside the Clubh...
Going into the game against the New Jersey Devils Friday night, it was clear the San Jose Sharks would need to play almost perfectly to secure a second win in as many nights. The Devils have won 6 games in a row going in, and the Sharks had only just won their first game less than 24 hours earlier against the New York Rangers in what was a fireworks show of a hockey game. In what has been the Sharks’ strategy with rookies on back-to-back nights to ease them into the NHL, the team sat Michael M...
More than usual, I really want the Eagles to smash the Giants on Sunday. Losing to New York on Thursday Night Football in the Meadowlands two weeks ago, coupled with the Phillies getting eliminated from the postseason in humiliating fashion the same evening, made for one of the worst sports nights of my life. The […]
It’s Saturday and College Game Day is in the music city: Nashville, Tennessee to see No. 10 Vanderbilt Commodores take on the No. 15 Missouri Tigers. Vandy won’t take it easy and Missouri has the eyes of Tiger, so we’ll have to see who is the Survivor. The game kicks off at 3:30 p.m. Eastern […]
Barcelona take on Real Madrid in El Clasico on Sunday in a match that will see César Soto Grado take charge of the game. If that name is familiar it’s because he was the referee of the Clasico last year which Real Madrid won 3-2 and had it’s fair slice of controversy. Yamal thought he’d […]
The 2000 World Series had gotten off to a roaring start, with the Bombers taking each of the first two games by a margin of one run. Game 3 was not as much of a fun for those in pinstripes, as they dropped another close ballgame, to make this series a lot more interesting. 25 […]

Diamondbacks News Hagaman with Another Rocky AFL OutingDavid Hagaman showed both his good traits and his bad in what can best be described as an uneven outing. The 22-year-old is finding the adjustment to the more difficult AFL a bit challenging so far, but is still showing flashes of what is to come should he […]
The other day, I posed a simple question to you. Do the Phillies need to go further with changes to the team in order to finally get to the summit of the game? The results: they are in. What did you say? That’s a whopping 79% of people that voted in this poll saying that […]
From time to time, Cubs broadcaster Harry Caray would head to the bleachers to broadcast a game. Here’s one of those games. There’s more to the photo than you can see at the top of this post and therein lie the clues: Since we have a lot of the scoreboard visible, it’s possible to narrow […]
After the slightest bit of suspense, the Jason Varitek situation has been resolved. Varitek will return to Alex Cora’s coaching staff in 2026, in the same position of game-planning coordinator and run-prevention coach (go ahead and feel free to roll your eyes at that one). Next year will mark Tek’s 30th season with the Red […]
The script for how a particular game could go south for the Los Angeles Dodgers was followed to a tee in this blowout Blue Jays win to open the World Series. Much was made of the battle between elite swing-and-miss stuff from the Dodgers starter and a contact-oriented approach from the Blue Jays lineup. Contact […]
