Ranking the Top 10 Sports Cinderellas of All Time

The Indiana Hoosiers entered the 2025 college football season with a level of expectation unseen across their decades of futility. But even after they finished 11-2 in their first year under head coach Curt Cignetti in 2024, a national championship run still felt out of reach. After all, they entered the season as +10000 to win the title, well behind preseason favorite Ohio State (+450).

went on vacation

Like the Nats in general    They are now nearly what I feared they'd be last post.  Worst of the rest. Only the Athletics are standing in their way.  They are clearly behind the Marlins now. Hell so are the Braves.  Things have gotten so bad the team is trying to get you excited for the idea of Paul DeJong coming back and DHing even though he can't hit.  What the hell are we doing here people?    Kick anyone over 27 to the curb.  Just play kids...

Preds sign D Nick Perbix in free agency

The Nashville Predators have signed the former Tampa Bay Lightning defender for two years at an AAV of $2.75M. This brings the number of similarly-named players acquired for the blueline this week to two, after yesterday’s signing of Nicolas Hague . Perbix, who just turned 27, scored 19 points (6G/13A) in a third-pair role for the Bolts last season. The team struggled with puck control while he was paired with his usual defense partner, Emil Lilleberg. However, he played better with other...

Wilyer Abreu Cracks Inside-The-Park HR And A Grand Slam (Only 6th Time In MLB History)

Wilyer Abreu led off the bottom of the fifth with an inside-the-park home run . Three innings later, he donged the first grand slam of his career. The Red Sox rode a seven-run first inning to a 13-6 victory. Abreu became only the sixth player to hit an inside-the-park home run and a grand slam in a game -- and the first player to do it in 67 years. The others : June 5, 1890 - Jocko Fields, Pittsburgh Burghers (Players League) July 4, 1923 (G1) - Everett Scott, Yankees August 4, 1930 - Charlie ...

Free Agency Day Open Thread

Last year I made a joke about how we’d all sit around and wait for the inevitable Steven Stamkos re-signing in Tampa to be massively overshadowed by some other trade, and, uh, as you all know, that didn’t happen. This year I got nothin’. Pull up a chair and let’s see what happens.

Preds trade Sissons, Lauzon for D Nicolas Hague

The Nashville Predators made one move today before free agency began, trading Colton Sissons and Jeremy Lauzon to the Vegas Golden Knights for defender Nicolas Hague and a conditional 2027 draft pick. The Preds also agreed to retain salary on Sissons. Under those circumstances, it’s disappointing but not surprising to see that Hague’s on-ice impact for Vegas last season wasn’t the best. The 26-year-old is a low-scoring defender who struggled to move the puck out of the zone, though the Pr...

Nashville Predators Draft Day 2 Summary

The Preds made some trades and some picks today. Toward the end of the draft it seemed as if they just didn’t like a lot of the available options, swapping multiple picks for same-round picks next season. During the first round yesterday, they made three picks (and a trade): center Brady Martin at 5th , defender Cameron Reid at 21st , and forward Ryker Lee at 26th . Here are today’s additions: Jacob Rombach | Defender | Pick #35, 2nd Round 6’6″ defender Jacob Rombach spent the l...
