Let’s see, how does this go? Welcome back to the remainder of the season. The post-All-Star break portion of the season. Or in common vernacular, the second half.

There is only one division in the NFL that can make an argument that all of their teams can compete for the playoffs in 2026. That is none other than the NFC North. While other divisions like the NFC West and AFC North have multiple SB contenders, they also have teams like the Browns and […]
The Cubs’ 5-2 loss to the Twins Friday night at Wrigley Field was certainly not the way we envisioned the season’s “second half’ beginning. The offense (mostly) disappeared. And a long ball by the opposition proved the difference in the game. Let’s begin at the beginning. The Cubs took a first-inning lead. Pete Crow-Armstrong led […]
The Cubs began the second half hoping to keep their positive momentum going against the Twins on a beautiful Friday night at Wrigley Field.

Turns out there’s quite the variety, shown by the number of sections below. Therefore, it becomes difficult choosing who or what to talk about. But let’s start where there’s major interest. […]

For years, Jason Hehir, the director of the iconic Last Dance, claimed his approach was unbiased. But just like Scottie Pippen, even Gary Payton is not buying that narrative. The Glove was one of Michael Jordan’s fiercest rivals and took exception to the claims and mockery from the Bulls legend in the docuseries. In a […] The post “He Couldn’t Guard Me”: Gary Payton Fires Back at Michael Jordan’s Viral Claim appeared first on EssentiallySports .

Last season, the White Sox came out of the All-Star break with a 10-1 pasting of the Pittsburgh Pirates , the first of three convincing victories in front of many Sox Machine subscribers at PNC Park. It set the tone for a respectable second-half showing that they rolled into a surprising first-place showing during the first half of the 2026 season. This time, the Sox came out of the break by sending waves of offense against the Toronto Blue Jays. They blitzed Spencer Miles for five runs in t...
Well, I guess the four day break didn’t solve everything that’s wrong with the Blue Jays. This one got out of hand early, with the eventual winning run scoring in the second inning. The pitching was bad, and while the offence managed three home runs they were still held to just seven hits by an […]
The season may be 162 games long, but there are certain games that hold more weight than others. In the case of the White Sox, there are few that will hold as much weight as tonight’s game being the first after the All-Star break. It set the tone for the second half, which will be […]

Both teams missed out on some offensive opportunities, but the Cubs’ misses ended up hurting more. Some nice defense by the Twins tonight helped Bailey Ober escape some jams, and Ryan Jeffers’s bomba proved to be enough offense. Inning-by-inning notes: 1: Colin Rea, whose name sounds Irish but who’s actually from Iowa, walks leadoff hitter […]
