Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
Sunday marks the final day of workouts in the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine. This time around, it’s the offensive linemen who get their chance to shine in Indianapolis. The Bears find themselves in a much more favorable position along their offensive line than they were this time a year ago. That said, there are still […]
The Milwaukee Bucks leave home briefly to take on the struggling Chicago Bulls in the Windy City this afternoon. The Bucks have won each of the three matchups this season, with this one wrapping up the season series. On its face, this game looks like a gimme for Milwaukee, but Chicago is on a huge […]
It’s chock-full Sunday. You’ll need at least a coffee. The Cubs Spring Training Crew approaches the .500 threshold. Good news about Justin Steele heads up the list — he’s ready to shove. Bad news about former Cub Dan Serafini, who has been found guilty of murder and won’t be seeing daylight anytime soon. The Cubs […]
1901 In a monumental move as the White Sox entered the major leagues for the first time, the club snatched pitcher Clark Griffith from the crosstown Orphans (Cubs). Griffith was signed as both pitching ace and manager. In 1901, Griffith not only was the team MVP (7.4 WAR, and fourth in the AL) but guided […]
Despite grabbing the early lead and keeping the Colorado Avalanche at bay for most of the first 40 minutes — well, Spencer Knight did, anyway — the Chicago Blackhawks couldn’t hold on forever, falling 3-1 on Saturday night in Denver. The Blackhawks struck first at 6:31 of the first period as Connor Bedard corralled Tyler Bertuzzi’s centering feed and snapped a heavy wrist shot for a power-play goal and a 1-0 lead. Connor Bedard has his 25th goal of the season! 🚨 pic.twitter.com/38WOP...
In continuation of the Central Division showdowns, the Colorado Avalanche moved on in their busy schedule in hosting the Chicago Blackhawks in a Saturday afternoon affair hoping to erase the bitter taste of defeat from two nights ago. It wasn’t a masterful effort but still Colorado found enough to end up with a 3-1 win […]
With most of the expected big hitters out of the lineup after yesterday’s split-squad games, some other sources made Tanner Bibee’s first inning of the spring a miserable one. For him. No. 2 hitter Sam Antonacci started things off for the White Sox when he got a 2-0 cutter that had too much of the […]
The Dodgers were a split squad Saturday, but many of their regulars played against the Cubs, among them Freddie Freeman, Will Smith, Max Muncy and Teoscar Hernández. And three Cubs pitchers who are all in the mix for swingman/relief/starter roles threw very well and the Cubs defeated the Dodgers 6-2. And today, if you missed […]
Head down to the comments to talk about Saturday’s game against the Avalanche! Game Preview
1. Get ready for the Bears to draft another running back. Like four other positional groups before them, the running backs set the record for fastest average 40 time ever at a blazing 4.4 seconds—albeit in a small sample size. They followed that up by being just as impressive and consistent in on-field drills, with […]
With two of five games in a seven day stretch now behind them, it’s safe to assume that the Colorado Avalanche were looking forward to the weekend. This afternoon, the visiting Chicago Blackhawks will make their only regular season appearance in Denver, as the Avs face their third consecutive Central Division opponent in four days. […]

Go get ‘em, Colin.
Involved in their first split-squad day of the year, the reigning champs will play simultaneous games against the Cubs and Rangers, with Justin Wrobleski facing Chicago and prospect Jackson Ferris pitching against Texas. Saturday Game info Saturday Game info
It’s a tense battle of division rivals today as the White Sox make the long trek to famed Goodyear, Ariz., apt home for the Guardians since Cleveland is only a José Ramírez homer from the base of Goodyear in Akron. Well, OK, it’s not really a tense battle, it’s as meaningless as all spring games, […]
The Blackhawks kick off a weekend back-to-back in Denver on Saturday evening against the league-leading Colorado Avalanche. Colorado has basically spent this season doing laps around the rest of the league. At 38-10-9 (.746 points percentage), they’re five points clear of the next closest team in the standings and looking every bit like a group that knows exactly how good it is. The underlying numbers are just as suffocating: Colorado owns 56.14 percent of shot attempts (second in the lea...

1929 The White Sox traded star left fielder Bibb Falk to Cleveland for catcher Martin Autry — the first direct trade ever between Chicago and Cleveland. The logic of the deal is somewhat confounding, because while Falk was at the tail end of his career, Autry was simply awful for the White Sox: -0.8 WAR […]
Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine is upon us. While it’s arguably the most exciting day of workouts to watch as the quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers hit the field, it’s also arguably the one the Bears need to pay the least attention to. Rather, it’s more the positions that the Bears […]

We are now a bit over a week into Spring Training games and at last, Friday’s game featured just about everyone who will be in the Opening Day lineup March 26 (except Seiya Suzuki, who’s already back in Japan for the start of the World Baseball Classic). There aren’t many question marks about the Cubs […]

No TV, no radio. Absolute BS. Baseball teams can afford to take the loss in order to promote the game. But they won’t. And it isn’t going to get better. For the cost of an NRI longshot or, even better, some minuscule portion of CEO salary, these games could be made available to you and […]
Through two days of NFL Combine workouts, one thing seems pretty clear: the best defensive position players in the 2026 NFL Draft class aren’t up front. They’re at linebacker and safety. A day after the linebackers set Lucas Oil Stadium on fire, the safeties did the same, putting on a clinic for the 32 teams […]
