The Indianapolis Colts are on the road to take on the Los Angeles Chargers in week 7 of the 2025 season, kickoff is at 4:05 p.m. EST. Last week our Colts squeaked by a Cardinals team that was led by Jacoby Brissett. Losing Mooney Ward before the game severely limited the secondary and Brissett seized the opportunity […]
On September 19, 2024, I had the luck and privilege to see what was easily the greatest offensive day in the history of the sport. Shohei Ohtani created the first 50/50 club with such aplomb, we were unlikely to ever see its like ever again. Never mind that he made another 50/50 club in 2025. […]
It is here. Well, after the game it is here, as the Arizona Cardinals have a two lane road heading into the bye week. On one side a playoff spot is virtually impossible as 2-5 would mean they would likely need to go 8-2 down the stretch. On the other side, it would be really […]
On the heels of its 24-21 road upset of No. 2 Miami, the Louisville football team made its debut appearance in the Associated Press Top 25 poll on Sunday. The 5-1 Cardinals are No. 19 in the poll, its first appearance in the rankings since week 12 of the 2024 season. Here’s the full poll […]
Former big league catcher Jesus Montero passed away recently, according to a report from El Extrabase. The report indicates that Montero was part of a serious traffic accident on October 5 and passed following several days in the hospital. Montero was just 35 years old. Montero is best known for having been one of the…
It breaks our hearts to pass along the news of a tragedy in the New York Yankees’ family on this sunny Sunday. Jesús Montero was one of the best prospects in baseball in the early 2010s and debuted with the Yankees in September 2011 at age-21. He really shined in his first cup of coffee […]
We’re not too far from awards season, which means the usual worthy nominees, head-scratching selections, and outright upsets have started to populate the Gold Glove discussion for 2025 . Dillon Dingler is one of the catching finalists for the Detroit Tigers; Carlos Santana earns another nom for the Cleveland Guardians after winning the 1B award last season. Bobby Witt, Jr. represents shortstop, with division foes Maikel Garcia (Royals) and Jose Ramirez (Guardians) both nominated at third base....
The Rams beat down the Jaguars across the pond in a game that was never close. They inch closer to the 49ers, who hope the Cardinals drop a game to the Packers later this afternoon. We’ll have to wait until Monday to see if the Seahawks drop a game. This morning doesn’t have any marquee […]
The Reign earn a 2-1 win in Lu Barnes' final regular-season home match.
This year’s NLCS series between Milwaukee and Los Angeles elicited plenty of attention, but not only because the Dodgers were in it. While casual fans and international viewers love Shohei Ohtani, everyone outside the Dodgers fanbase cheered for David to defeat Goliath, another issue came to light: The salary mismatch between these two teams, and […]
1909 Hugh Duffy took over as the fifth White Sox manager of all time, after Billy Sullivan had a disappointing 78-74 year in his one year at the player-manager helm. Just as Sullivan’s defensive genius didn’t serve him particularly well as a skipper, Duffy was a Hall of Fame player who ended up a lousy […]
In case you missed it, Mookie Betts turned himself into one of the best defensive shortstops in baseball this year, and he did it in a history-making fashion, becoming the first player in baseball history to start at least 140 games at shortstop at age-32 or older after having made fewer than 100 career appearances […]
Ahead of his final year under team control, Tigers ace Tarik Skubal has gotten plenty of attention as fans and clubs alike have begun to turn their attention towards the offseason. Detroit’s reported extension offer of less than $100MM over four years last offseason does not inspire confidence that the club will be able to…
A real Canadian flavour to the Sunday Scramble this week (Go Blue Jays), and after giving my thoughts about our Edmonton Oilers in my column on Saturday, let’s capitalize on the neighbourly doom permeating provincial borders… This will be a big test for Calgary Flames general manager Craig Conroy. Will he make the panic move…
The San Diego Padres prospects playing in the AFL are part of the Peoria Javelinas team and sit third in the AFL standings at the end of Week 2. They have a 5-4 record, one game back of the league-leading Surprise Saguaros. Eight Padres prospects are playing with Peoria and the purpose of their extended […]
As we enter week seven of the 2025 NFL season, the Arizona Cardinals sit at 2-4 and they could enter the bye week with a big problems On the one hand, the Cardinals could be 2-5, on the other hand… There’s not one. I mean 3-4 would be good, and ideal, but until they win […]
Zion Young is a man who talks the talk and walks the walk. The Atlanta native, playing two hours away from his hometown, was one of the players selected to represent Mizzou in the overtime coin toss at midfield Saturday night against Auburn. The (Columbia-based) Tigers forced OT after a late touchdown – one that […]
Clemson lost again Saturday . This time to SMU 35-24 to fall to 3-4 (2-3), and the sad part is hardly anyone noticed. The Tigers will go over a calendar year without beating P4 team at home. Clemson now needs a 3-2 finish to just make a bowl game. How far has Clemson fallen? The … Continue reading »

While there has not been much noise about the Washington Nationals managerial hunt, there are hirings being finalized around the league. One of those hirings has me very intrigued and has made me think differently about candidates the Nats could look at. The Giants are closing in on a deal to hire Tony Vitello away […]
Jose Bautista turns 45 today. From 2008 to 2017, those years would have been so much different without Jost. He gave us so many great moments over the years, but of course, the best was the home run and bat flip in Game 5. When we traded for him in August of 2008, the trade […]
You might not think there are enough clues in this photo to narrow down the date, but not only do I have the date, I can tell you exactly when this photo was taken. First, let’s look at the photo again (click to enlarge): So this is clearly old-style Wrigley Field — no lights, small […]
The Milwaukee Brewers’ 2025 season met an ignominious end on Friday night. It was a disappointing way for the year to come to a close and exposed some of the lingering questions about this iteration of the Brewers as they move forward, but this was also an excellent season for a team with a lot […]
One. Win. Away. Game 6 tonight. In Mariners news… Around the league…
