Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
1903 Possibly the weirdest roster snafus in a single season continue, as Harry Gleason (brother of future White Sox manager Kid Gleason) is signed by Chicago — but chooses to report to his former team, the Boston Red Sox (née Americans), instead! The comedy of outlaw-player errors began when George Davis, after having doubled his […]
The Chicago Blackhawks gave goaltender Aidin Hill his first shutout of the season with a 4-0 performance against the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday night. Pavel Dorofeyev scored his first of two goals 8:33 into the game after Louis Crevier was penalized (his first of two). Dorofeyev opens the scoring on the power play. pic.twitter.com/y55pxUSzp5 — BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) March 15, 2026 The Blackhawks’ defensive zone coverage broke down when four Golden Knights shrunk the ...
The Philadelphia Eagles had interest in signing free agent wide receiver Darnell Mooney before he ultimately joined the New York Giants instead, according to a report from NFL insider Jeremy Fowler. Fowler adds that Mooney has a good relationship with Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy after previously overlapping together on the Chicago Bears from 2020-2021. […]
Head down to the comments to talk about Thursday’s game against the Mammoth! Game Preview
While it may just be Spring Training, the White Sox can at least say they took one game from the Dodgers this year. The Good Guys took care of business in their 7-2 victory — but it may have come at a heavy price. The Sox bench came through today. Lenyn Sosa and Luisangel Acuña […]
Even as far as spring training games go, this was a pretty forgettable one for the Dodgers, coming out on the losing end of a 7-2 effort against the White Sox. After a strong start to his spring, Justin Wrobleski didn’t showcase his best stuff, laboring through a difficult outing against a White Sox lineup […]
One day, I will be able to write up a Cubs recap and present a lot of highlights from the game. Today is not that day. (Though I do have SOME video to show you.) The Cubs lost to the Rockies 4-3 at Salt River Fields in Scottsdale Saturday afternoon, another very warm day in […]

The Chicago Blackhawks wrap up their two-game road trip against the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday night. It’s going to be a late one — a 9 p.m. CT puck drop — but maybe the Hawks can build off of their two-game win streak? That may be unlikely given that the Golden Knights have no issues steamrolling weaker teams. Vegas has, however, failed to find success in beating playoff-caliber opponents. Since November, Vegas has only won six games against teams in a playoff spot (as of this writ...
Go get ‘em, Ben.
The White Sox have the best chance of beating the Dodgers in the calendar year in today’s last Camelback Ranch duel before the prospect game next week. Seeking their first win against the Dodgers since March 8, 2025, and first Spring Training win against the reigning 2025 World Series Champions, the deck is slightly stacked […]
Both Camelback Ranch co-tenants face off on Saturday afternoon, with the Dodgers as the road team against the White Sox. Non-roster invitee Zyhir Hope, a consensus top-100 prospect, leads the Dodgers with 19 games played this spring, missing only one day thus far. On Saturday, he makes his first start this spring, in left field. […]
Justin Wrobleski and the Dodgers host the White Sox at Camelback Ranch for a Saturday matchup.

For the second time this spring, the Dodgers have a split squad, and in each case both games are against the Texas Rangers and Chicago Cubs. The home game for the Dodgers on Sunday is against the Rangers, with the away game against the Cubs in Mesa. River Ryan gets the start against the Rangers […]
The timeline for the construction of a new Chicago Bears stadium continues to accelerate, and the mayor of Arlington Heights, IL seems to think a location could be decided upon by the end of March. Mayor Jim Tinaglia suggested during his “State of the Village” address that he believes the Bears will strike a deal […]
Earlier this week, I asked you this question via the SB Nation Reacts survey: How many games will the Cubs win this year? The overwhelming majority of those who voted in the survey said the Cubs will win at least 90 games: Eighty-five percent of you said the Cubs will win between 90 and 99 […]
Good morning, LSB. Evan Grant’s observations include Josh Smith’s hot streak and the fifth starter competition coming down to the wire. Kennedi Landry writes about Robert Garcia and the lessons learned from his Mexico teammates while pitching in the WBC. Grant also writes about Garcia and his goals for 2026, mental or otherwise. Elsewhere the […]
Cubs lose, 4-2 in the battle of Martins. A war of the worlds, if you would. *means autoplay on, (directions to remove for Firefox and Chrome). {$} means paywall. {$} means limited views. Italics are often used on this page as sarcasm font. The powers that be have enabled real sarcasm font in the comments. Food For Thought: Please be reminded that Cub Tracks and Bleed Cubbie […]
1901 The White Sox welcomed another player as part of the exodus from the National League, center fielder Fielder Jones. Jones left the Brooklyn Superbas, where he was a solid regular, and blossomed into a star over eight years with the White Sox. Fielder’s 32.0 career WAR makes him the 10th-best hitter in team history, […]
According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Indianapolis Colts have signed Chicago Bears free agent safety and key special teamer Jonathan Owens to bolster their depleted positional depth: Originally signed as an undrafted free agent of the Arizona Cardinals in 2018, the 5,‘11”, 204 pound safety has played for the Houston Texans, Green Bay Packers, […]
Chicago Bears fans have been excited about the players the Bears have added to the roster thus far in free agency. And, for the most part, they should be. Most of these players are either better fits or upgrades from those who manned that spot a year ago. But the one thing the Bears haven’t […]
Let’s just call it a technical knockout: The White Sox have reasserted their dominance over the rival Cubs. Friday’s win, their third straight this spring over the ivy bumblers and first at Camelback Ranch, was the most pedestrian of the bunch; in other words, the White Sox clobbered only two homers in this one vs. […]
The Cubs didn’t send too many regulars to Glendale to face the White Sox — Michael Busch, Miguel Amaya (back from the WBC) and Moisés Ballesteros were the only ones among 40-man roster players, and Michael Conforto and Chas McCormick among the non-roster guys trying to make the team. Plus, it was basically a bullpen […]
