Latest blog entries from Bay Area teams across every league
Happy Friday everyone! Hope you’re all ready for a nice relaxing weekend. The A’s made their first addition to the organization on Wednesday evening in a transaction that almost slipped by unnoticed. The club came to terms with their first free agent of the winter, inking relief pitcher Nick Anderson to a minor league deal […]
The San Francisco 49ers are getting some much-needed reinforcements this week, as starting quarterback Brock Purdy and wide receiver Ricky Pearsall are both returning from multi-week injuries. Purdy has been out since Week 4 after re-aggravating a toe injury, while Pearsall has missed the same amount of time with a knee injury. For Pearsall, the […]
The San Francisco 49ers started it all. It’s their fault. In Weeks 1 and 2, the Arizona Cardinals defeated the New Orleans Saints and the Carolina Panthers to begin this season 2-0-0. Their next contest was on the road against the 49ers. RELATED: CARDINALS OPEN AS HOME UNDERDOGS In the fourth quarter, the score was […]
As the season slowly goes into November, the Arizona Cardinals are close to playing for one thing… pride. That is never a good thing when you are talk about the third year of a rebuild, but things have gone off the rails and who knows if they can get back on them. Ahead of their […]
Kyle Shanahan reveals Brock Purdy will start 49ers’ Week 11 game vs. Cardinals“That’s why we were really close to getting him up last week, but still thought it would help him for another week, and so did he,” Shanahan said. “The way he was Monday, just watching him film with him, the way he was […]
It always feels odd to write a preview for a game that has essentially just happened. And yet, just about every season since these home-home mini-series have been instituted, I’ve ended up doing just that. I’m not sure how I manage to do it so consistently. Most of the time, I’m just looking to cover […]
2025 stats (with SFG): 27 G, 25.1 IP, 3.91 ERA / 2.66 FIP, 24 K, 10 BB, 0 HR, 1.50 WHIP, 52.7 GB%, +0.5 fWAR Waiver claims aren’t lottery tickets like prospects are, they’re an arcade game. A player’s history is the same as staring and watching the high score screen on a loop or […]

What a difference a season makes. Last season, the Calgary Flames were the NHL upstarts, looking to make some waves as the dark horses in the pacific Division pushing for a playoff spot while the San Jose Sharks were the NHL’s basement dwellers. This season, the tables have turned. The Flames, at 4-12-2, currently hold the worst record in the league by a fairly large margin. The team’s minus-20 goal differential certainly isn’t helping matters. The Flames have lost its last three games, while ...
It’s official. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy will make his return to the starting lineup this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, per Kyle Shanahan. On Wednesday, Shanahan said, “I think each week it’s gotten better, with last week being the best. Each week has been different. So, if he takes a big step forward […]
I know. The headline is a very big-brained idea for the San Francisco 49ers and Kyle Shanahan. The player who leads the world in touches should be the focal point for the 49ers’ offense in Arizona on Sunday. Hear me out, this is exactly the type of game and matchup Christian McCaffrey is built for. […]

Well, at least the court looked nice? This was a game that basically highlighted everything good and bad about this current iteration of the San Antonio Spurs. All the promise and potential coupled with the rough edges that simply must get sanded off before anything of substance can get accomplished around here. They need to […]

With another divisional game on tap for the San Francisco 49ers, the Kyle Shanahan-led group will look to bounce back with its fourth NFC West victory over Arizona on Sunday. The undermanned 49ers defense took a beating against the Rams and their MVP candidate, Matthew Stafford, last Sunday, but it only counts as one loss. […]
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk was eligible to return in Week 5. There was cautious optimism that it would happen after preseason videos surfaced of Aiyuk running routes at about 25 percent. That was in August. The assumption was that, by late October, Aiyuk would be up to speed and ready to play […]
Next up in our look back at the A’s players in 2025, we turn back to the position player side of things by remembering our brief time with rookie corner infielder CJ Alexander. Did we not give him enough of a chance with the big league team? Or is what we saw what we were […]
As the title suggests, I could simply copy and paste what I have written in these write-ups from previous weeks. For the third consecutive week, quarterback Matthew Stafford threw four or more touchdowns in a game, a first in NFL history. This past Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, the MVP of the 2009 Capital […]
There is no doubt that when it comes to the Los Angeles Rams, the benchmark for fans is always, “be better than the 49ers.” When it comes to rivalries in the NFL, Rams-49ers is certainly right near the top with Cowboys-Eagles, Browns-Steelers, and Packers-Bears. These are two teams that have played 154 times and reached […]
The San Francisco 49ers are sitting at 6-4 heading into Week 11, as they prepare to take on the Arizona Cardinals on the road in a big game. The 49ers are coming off an ugly 42-26 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, where they took themselves out of it early by allowing three consecutive touchdown […]
The San Francisco 49ers are currently trending to start quarterback Brock Purdy for the first time since Week 4 this weekend when they face the Arizona Cardinals on the road. Purdy, who has been limited in practice for the last few weeks as he’s ramped up following a toe injury, has now had one ‘aggressive’ […]
The young and the restless: The young Spurs and a restless-always-moving-around-moving-screens Steph Curry is a story as old as the days of our lives. This entertaining game almost exorcised all the demons on a Marlena Evans-level of the Spurs taking that torch from the Warriors. Maybe next time. Regardless, our favorite team did not lack […]
Good morning, baseball fans! We have an argument for the ages today. Ever since Madison Bumgarner entered Game 7 of the 2014 World Series in relief for the San Francisco Giants, managers everywhere have been attempting to copy that strategy, to varying levels of success. We saw it again in this year’s World Series Game […]
The Spurs loss last night was a heart-breaker. They started strong against a road weary Warriors coming into the Frost Bank Center on the second night of a back to back. In the end, Stephen Curry did what he does. A 22-point third quarter gave the Warriors the lead, and eventually they had enough distance […]
1913 The White Sox and New York Giants began their round-the-world tour, promoting baseball across the globe. The two teams would eventually sail home from England on the Lusitania after playing over 40 contests. 1951 The White Sox sent swingman Randy Gumpert and left fielder Don Lenhardt to Boston for pitcher Chuck Stobbs and second […]
