Nine Years Ago Today, the Chicago Cubs Won the Pennant
Although the fresh playoff moments for the Chicago Cubs wrapped up in this year’s National League Division Series, we can still look back and enjoy the best of the best moments that came before. For example, here’s one of the absolute best: on this day in 2016, the Cubs beat the Dodgers to win the 2016 National League Championship Series and take their first pennant in 71 years. They were off to the World Series, where I seem to recall some good things happened. Enjoy the highlights ...
How Is Dansby Swanson Living Up to His $177M Contract?
Back in December of 2022, the Chicago Cubs signed free agent shortstop Dansby Swanson to a seven-year, $177 million contract. If you recall back to that winter, Swanson was the fourth of the four big free agent shortstops (Carlos Correa, Trea Turner, Xander Bogaerts) to sign his deal and got the smallest guarantee of the bunch. And although the Cubs have made the playoffs just one time since signing Swanson to that near-franchise-record deal, it does generally feel like it’s been a success. Bu...
Chicago Cubs Well Represented Among NL Silver Slugger Finalists, But One Huge Snub
By pretty much any metric you’d choose, the Chicago Cubs had a top five-ish offense this year in Major League Baseball, even as they suffered through significant dips at times throughout the season. It’s unsurprising, then, that the Cubs are pretty well represented on the list of National League Silver Slugger finalists this year. From MLB.com : First base: Pete Alonso, New York Mets; Freddie Freeman, Los Angeles Dodgers; Matt Olson, Atlanta Braves Second base: Nico Hoerner, C...
Basketball is Back, NBC is Back, Michael Jordan is Back, Josh Giddey is Back, and Other Bulls Bullets

The NBA season officially tipped off on Tuesday night with an epic double-overtime matchup between the Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder. While I’m not sure anyone would have predicted that exhilarating of an opening game, there is no question that it felt like fans were in store for something big when first flipping the channel to NBC. The league’s return to the network after a two-decade-long hiatus...
Let’s Make One Thing Clear About Losing Kyle Tucker
“Guys, you’re still trying to replace Giambi. I told you, we can’t do it. We can’t do it. Now, what we might be able to do is re-create him; recreate him in the aggregate.” If you don’t immediately recognize those words from Moneyball , you’ve got some homework to do this weekend. But regardless of whether or not you’ve read the book/seen the movie, that may have sounded oddly familiar to you. And that’s because Jed Hoyer did his best Brad Pit t Billy Beane impression at his end-of-season...
Blackhawks College Prospects: Ranked Action Including a Battle in Minnesota
Usually I post my college updates and weekend schedule for the Blackhawks on Thursday mornings, but three days between games and the Hawks having an early evening game in Tampa on Thursday gives us an opportunity to look ahead a day earlier than usual.

Thanks to a hot start from their sophomore netminder, the Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs have joined the rankings. ...

Well, Actually, Kazuma Okamoto IS Going to Be Posted
Earlier this week, a report suggested that the Yomiuri Giants could surprise folks and not post star corner infielder Kazuma Okamoto this offseason for MLB teams to sign. It would be a bummer if it played out that way, given the impacts Okamoto could have on the market, so I held out hope that the report was maybe an error or gamesmanship or something like that. Well, it must have been something like that, because the Giants have announced that they WILL be posting Kazuma Okamoto: Th...
