After a terrible loss to the Carolina Hurricanes yesterday evening, which really decimated the New Jersey Devils’ longshot playoff hopes, I was looking for one thing above all in the team tonight: whether or not the Devils would play the game for a full 60 minutes and give their best effort. And to be honest, […]
As disheartening as the opening weekend has been for the White Sox, Charlotte has chiseled out three straight wins, sweeping the customarily-daunting Tampa Bay Rays Triple-A affiliate, the Durham Bulls. And unlike the debauched Opening Night that saw 19 Knights cross the plate, the wins on Saturday and Sunday were nail-biters. Charlotte Knights 2, Durham […]
There are only two weeks left in the regular season. The playoff contenders are using the final stretch to jockey for position and secure home court, while the league’s bottom dwellers shut things down and look to improve their lottery odds. Monday night’s contest between the San Antonio Spurs and the Chicago Bulls will be […]

The Blackhawks opened the scoring 4:19 into the game.

Box Score The Brewers fought back from an early deficit to win their third straight game Sunday afternoon, scoring six runs in the eighth to complete a sweep of the Chicago White Sox. Starter Brandon Sproat got lit up in his Brewers debut, surrendering a grand slam before getting an out. After walking the first […]
Before you start complaining about Shōta Imanaga serving up another home run at an inopportune time (with two runners on base), consider that you’re not going to win many games when you get only four hits and three of them are solo homers. That was the tale of the Cubs’ 6-3 loss to the Nationals […]
How about the Joey Wiemer led Washington Nationals! The Nats secured a series win in Chicago thanks to the efforts of a new cult hero. Joey Wiemer got on base four times again, and has yet to get out this season. The Nats have now won their first season opening series since 2018. After yesterday’s […]
Go get ‘em, Shōta.
Coming off two straight wins, the Brewers will look to complete the sweep in their season-opening series against the White Sox. Right-hander Brandon Sproat gets the ball for Milwaukee today. Sproat, acquired as part of the return in the offseason Freddy Peralta trade, will be making his first appearance as a Brewer. He debuted in […]
After the Nats handled the Cubs in game one of the series, the North Siders stuck back with a big win in game two. Now, the two teams face off for an afternoon rubber match at Wrigley Field. The Nats taking two out of three in the friendly confines would be a nice statement to […]
To call this an ignominious start to the season, even by White Sox standards, would be doing a disservice to the Oxford English Dictionary on the bookshelf behind me right now. Contemptible; opprobrious, vituperative; truculent; there are plenty of ways that one could sum up getting outscored 20-3 over the first two games of the […]
Sunday notes… Cubs lineup: Nationals lineup: Shōta Imanaga, LHP vs. Jake Irvin, RHP Today, we begin to find out whether Shōta Imanaga can recover his 2024 form. Even then, he did allow a fair number of home runs, but his walk rate was low and he kept guys off base enough to have an outstanding […]

The Chicago Blackhawks wrap up their road trip with a stop in New Jersey to face the Devils, looking to salvage something, anything , from a stretch that’s quickly gone off the rails. It’s been a while since the Blackhawks last saw the Devils — all the way back in mid-November — and the version of this team now feels pretty different from the one that was still hovering around the playoff picture at the time. The Devils spent the first couple of months flirting with relevance in the Easte...
The Cubs bounced back in a significant way after a disappointing Opening Day performance. Cade Horton got them on the right foot with three perfect innings to start, on his way to 6.1 innings and only two runs allowed. Offensively, the Cubs turned nine hits and six walks into 10 runs as they evened this […]

However, key […]
If you think the Milwaukee Bucks are playing against the Los Angeles Clippers today (after getting walloped by them on Monday), you are mistaken. Where We’re At The Bucks have but one opponent, and it is the Chicago Bulls. It’s simple: finish below the Bulls and get rewarded with a modicum of higher probability at […]
I admit that I have my PCA jersey on. We had Chicago dogs for lunch and I have one Old Style left from a trip to Rocco’s a bit ago. Much more noise has been made about his deal than Nico Hoerner’s, as Pete has been anointed the new ‘face’. I suspect PCA is equal […]
I bet a few of you would like to revise your preseason picks from last week! After all, few would have forecast a weekend sweep to open the season, even on the road against a formidable Milwaukee team. Sorry though, no take-backs. Yes, we asked you how many wins the White Sox would end up […]
Professional troll Skip Bayless weighed in on the debate regarding Bears quarterback Caleb Williams’ attempted trademark of the “Iceman” nickname on Friday, and it appears the young quarterback has something to say back. “I’m a Caleb Williams fan,” Bayless tweeted. “But I was a much bigger Iceman Gervin fan, and I’m offended Caleb and Co.

Oh, yeah … MOMENTUM is supposed to be the keyword this season, so … Only lost by five runs instead of 12 … MOMENTUM! Only struck out 11 times instead of 20 … MOMENTUM! Only walked five Brewers instead of 10 … MOMENTUM! Sox pitchers only needed 179 pitches to get through eight innings, instead […]
