Chicago Cubs news and notes — Ballesteros, Cease, Maton
We cover the coverage like PCA covers center field. Ryan Helsley? Edwin Diaz? These are two of the names floating out there in the aether as the Cubs cast their net for next year’s relief corps with an eye toward qualifying for the postseason and garnering some of that sweet postseason lucre. This is supposing […]

A look at the new Cardinals – Richard Fitts and Brandon Clarke
On Tuesday, the Cardinals – to somewhat of a surprise – traded Sonny Gray. Most encouragingly, they traded Sonny Gray and picked up $20 million of the check. Well, I was wrong in two ways. I thought Gray had limited his trade pool more than he had and I did not expect Bill Dewitt to […]

Good morning, baseball fans! And Happy Thanksgiving to those who partake! Today, as many of us will be doing around the table later on, I wanted to reach out and see what everyone is thankful for from this year’s San Francisco Giants team. I know, I know.

A war is brewing between the Blue Jays and Red Sox
For a pair of teams who share the same division and have represented the American League in the World Series a combined eight times over the last 40 years, the relationship between the Blue Jays and Red Sox has been remarkably tame. There’s no signature clash, no recent season where one stood in the doorway […]

Arne Slot on Liverpool Crisis “This Season Is a Shock for Everyone”
Liverpool very much appear to be a broken side. Having started the 2025-26 season off under the shadow of the tragic passing of Diogo Jota. Since then, poor performances and poor results have begun to pile up and pile on additional pressure, leaving a side that appears shattered. Bizarre mistakes, mental fragility, and the ability […]

Today in White Sox History: November 27
1938 White Sox pitcher Monty Stratton, an American League All-Star in 1937 and one of the best young players in the game, accidentally shot himself in the leg while hunting, when his .22 caliber pistol discharged as he was replacing it in his holster; he had failed to engage the safety. Unable to get help, Stratton crawled […]

Five Rule 5 Pitching Prospects for the Rays bullpen
There are many interesting players who were left unprotected by other organizations following the recent Rule 5 roster deadline, and some of them look like they could fit in the bullpen if the Rays wanted to try their luck again after drafting two such prospects last offseason.

Orioles news: Mike Shildt hired, Cease signs with Jays
Hello, friends. There are now 119 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day 2026. Probably nothing is going to happen on this particular day, Thanksgiving, in the United States. Or at least I’m going to take it quite personally if Mike Elias or anyone connected with the Orioles makes any kind of news today. I’ve got […]

A Thanksgiving meal with SEC football coaches
The indulgence of the holiday season begins its yearly hard launch with Thanksgiving, a time for aggressive caloric intake through an assortment of meats and dishes that span the culinary spectrum.

White Sox Songs of the (off) Season, Part 3
There aren’t a whole lot of songs in the Thanksgiving holiday repertoire. Just about the only recent one, Adam Sandler’s “The Thanksgiving Song,” is already a nonsense spoof, so making a nonsense spoof of it is a tad redundant. Still, the probably best-known ditty of this holiday stems from a poem written by Lydia Marie […]

Seedy K’s GameCap: Jersey Tech
Transparency in reportage: I wasn’t in the Yum! to cover the Thanksgiving Eve Cardinals game. Several reasons. 9:00 Tip off was at my normal bedtime. The game was against a Bottom Ten ranked school. Driving home late at night on one of the biggest bar nights of the year is not optimal for an old […]

St. Louis Cardinals Eye Marmol Extension, But Why?
