Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
The last time the White Sox saw the Angels was just last week, and it ended with a White Sox sweep at home. This time, the Good Guys are coming off a series win against the Padres during this latest West Coast road trip, and seeing the somehow even worse-for-wear Angels for the second and […]

The last week has been a difficult one for the San Diego Padres. Perhaps the first such week since Opening Week. The Friars dropped five of their last eight contests, but they managed to stave off a sweep with yesterday’s win over the Chicago White Sox. It was exactly what San Diego needed. Newcomer Griffin […]

1) NFL Draft Coverage Booms With the immense popularity of the NFL, it’s fascinating to see the coverage of the NFL Draft grow, even in the last decade. I watched the first two nights on the NFL Network, waiting for the Bears to make their picks so that I could record a quick hitter for […]
Sorry it wasn't. Moose outside shoulda told ya. This is what the offense looks like when Wood and Abrams aren't hot. Pretty terrible, right? Let's hope neither gets injured. The Nats have a record that looks pretty typical of a blah team. They get beat, but now blown away, by good teams and hold their own against everyone else. But it's still early enough I wouldn't read into that. I mean, they play the Cubs now instead of the first three games when things a...
Griffin Canning made his first start as a member of the San Diego Padres AND it came at Petco Park in front of the Friar Faithful. Canning ended with a no-decision, but left the game after five innings, allowing just one run on a solo home run to Drew Romo, with seven strikeouts. Canning did […]
This has been one of the more remarkable stretches in Cub history.

1929 Lou Gehrig hit the second-ever roof shot at Comiskey Park, off of Red Faber. The blast opened scoring for the Yankees, tying the game, 1-1, in the top of the second inning. It was the first of three home runs for Gehrig in the game, the second of which came in the middle of […]

Free of charge for the discerning reader. Happy birthday to Joe Borowski, and a mighty host of others. He probably doesn’t like Star Wars, either. Today in baseball history, in 1963, Bob Shaw of the Milwaukee Braves sets a major league record by committing five balks. In the third inning, Shaw walks Billy Williams and sends him home with three straight balks. […]

Montgomery has been outstanding so far in 2026, slashing .313/.429/.606 and hitting six homers […]
