New Year’s Resolutions for the Rockies

2025 was a trying year for both the Colorado Rockies and their fans. A 43-119 record is nothing to brush aside, and hopefully signifies rock bottom for a franchise that exists in the same city as the Colorado Avalanche, Denver Nuggets and Denver Broncos. However, 2026 is a clean slate. There have been a lot […]

Orioles news: Hoping for better things in 2026

Hello, friends. You’ve made it! The cursed year 2025 is over and you have survived. 2026 will surely bring its own share of challenges but hopefully at least within the sphere of our favorite baseball team things will go better on the strength of internal and external improvements to the roster that are made this […]

Five things to look out for – Sunderland vs Manchester City

Manchester City begin 2026 with a trip to face high flying Sunderland in the Premier League. The Blues ended the year in fine form, winning eight games in a row in all competitions, but they face a tough test against Regis le Bris’s side who haven’t lost at home in the Premier League all season. […]

Purple Row After Dark: What brought you sports joy in 2025?

In asking this, I am stealing a question that The Athletic’s “The Pulse” newsletter posed to their staff and readers. The answers were compelling and touched on a wide range of topics. There was not a great deal of joy for the historically bad 2025 Colorado Rockies and their fans. But I’m a big believer […]

UPDATE: Dashawn Spears Staying With LSU

Well so much for that. About three hours after 247’s Matt Zenitz reported that Dashawn Spears would be entering the transfer portal Wednesday night, Zenitz later broke the news that Spears will be taking his name out of the portal. The news was confirmed by both Blake Baker and Spears himself, who posted their reactions […]

New Year’s Eve open thread

I just want to say thanks to everybody who’s helped make this year a really special one for both me personally and the website as a whole. Thank you a million times over and let’s make sure 2026 is an even better year — especially if our Braves bounce back. Here’s a random clip:

Clemson Basketball Edges Syracuse

It was yet another dramatic ending to a Clemson Basketball game the Tigers led nearly the entire contest. Still, in the end, Brad Brownell’s team was able to hang on and secure an opening ACC win with a victory over the Syracuse Orange. The Tigers opened up a 12-3 lead at the first TV timeout […]

Reading vs Burton Albion: 2025/26 Match Preview

A draw on Monday means the Royals are 10th and sitting pretty in the top half of the table. A goal from the star man Daniel Kyerewaa opened the scoring and then the Royals seemed OK after that. They played very well defensively but it was a slip-up at the back that allowed three men […]

Off-Topic: What was the best part of your year?

We’ve been doing this for the last few years, your mission is to tell us: What was the best thing that happened to you this year? What was the best part of this past baseball season for you? For me, best thing that happen? We had a fantastic holiday in Africa. We did safaris for […]

Marvin Harrison Jr. out for season finale

The long year of injuries is almost over for the Arizona Cardinals but it couldn’t have finished without a couple more victims.

It […]

Jays Sign Nic Enright to a Minor League Contract

The Jays signed RHP Nic Enright to a two-year minor league contract. Generally minor league contracts are one-year but Enright will be rehabbing from Tommy John surgery most of the coming season. Enright turns 29 on January 8th. He’s thrown 31 MLB innings with a 2.03 ERA for the Guardians, all last season. He was […]

2025 Athletics Season In Review: Gunnar Hoglund

The A’s are desperate for starting pitching right now and they have plenty of arms that at one point were considered top prospects. None of them have panned out as hoped so far but there’s still plenty of time for most of them. In today’s Season In Review we take a look at one of […]

2025 SnakePit Awards: Unsung Hero nominations

And then there were five, a veritable “Who’s he?” of this year’s Diamondbacks – both on and off the field. Here’s a little about each of them, and a poll [browser and ad-blocker depending, perhaps!] Results will be tallied at some point on Friday, with the result announced on Saturday for those too lazy to […]

Mizzou volleyball roundtable: Discussing the 2025 season and what lays ahead

Earlier this month I sat down with fellow Rock M volleyball enthusiasts Colin Simmons and Matthew Gustafson along with KCOU Service to Seven host Jeffrey Calhoun to discuss the 2025 Mizzou volleyball season. The team fell just short of the NCAA Tournament due to several key losses in the final month of the season. With […]

Giants sign RHP Tyler Mahle to 1-year deal

Bruce Bochy’s job with the team pays off immediately. Shayna Rubin has posted news that the San Francisco Giants “are close” to signing starter Tyler Mahle to a 1-year deal. [Update: Mark Feinsand confirms it’s a done deal.] When healthy, the righty was Bochy’s second-best starter in 2025 when they were both Rangers. Unfortunately, Mahle […]
