Joe Morgan’s words during his 1990 Hall of Fame induction ring charmingly ironic for a man responsible for one of Houston’s most historic days at the plate.
“For me, the game has never been about numbers,” Morgan said on Aug. 6, 1990, in Cooperstown. “It’s only been about winning.”

Chris Colabello turns 42 today. The Blue Jays picked up Chris off waivers from the Twins before the 2015 season. In two seasons with the Twins, he hit .214/.284/.364, with 13 home runs in 114 games. So we can be excused for not being excited about a 31-year-old who could play first or DH but […]

Owen Tippett trade chatter popped up early, but multiple insiders say the Philadelphia Flyers are not shopping him. Elliotte Friedman told Morning Cuppa Hockey he hasn’t heard Tippett’s name out there and believes the Flyers aren’t looking to move him. That seems likely. The 26-year-old is signed through 2031-32 and has opened the season on fire with five goals in six games. If you’re hoping for a Flyers Owen Tippett trade, the temperature is cool for now. Morning Cuppa Hockey (Oct...
Big Dumper, we hardly knew ye. Yes, I know I’m a hockey columnist, and we’ll get to that. But the big news up in Canada these days is all about baseball, with the Blue Jays dramatic Game 7 win over the Mariners on Monday sending them to the World Series, which starts tonight in Toronto.

But I ha...

Well, we did want Arizona to be competitive this season. Last weekend’s loss to Houston was yet another heartbreaker for the program and its fans. A game the Cats definitely could have (and maybe should have) won, the final score was not in their favor. Neither of course were the referees, who blew a good […]
