Results of Astros Fan Reacts Survey
It’s time to crown a 2025 champion. Who will it be, Toronto or Los Angeles? Let’s discuss.
You could certainly argue that the Astros have an expensive yet inefficient roster. And I would agree with that assessment. Including projected raises in arbitration, the organization is projected to have around $16 million under the first tax threshold of $244 million for the upcoming 2026 season. That number will almost certainly change, most likely […]

Yes folks, it is, once again, that time of year. The time to come together as a community, share thoughts, debate ideas, and ultimately crowdsource the list of the top 44 prospects in the San Francisco Giants organization. It figures to be a very fun year for the CPL. The Giants had one of their […]
The first Blue Jays World Series game in 32 years is tonight. There are only a few guys on the team who could have watched the last one: Max Scherzer, George Springer, Chris Bassitt, Kevin Gausman, Tommy Nance, Tyler Heineman…Jeff Hoffman would have been 9 months old. Scherzer would be the only one who might […]
The Philadelphia Eagles issued their third and final official injury report in advance of their Week 8 home game against the New York Giants. The Eagles ruled six players OUT: A.J. Brown, Brandon Graham, Cam Jurgens, Adoree’ Jackson, Jakorian Bennett, and Azeez Ojulari. Brown’s absence, which certainly isn’t ideal, means the Eagles currently have four […]
The Dodgers have settled into a fairly regular lineup, especially with no more opposing left-handed starters to face. Their lineup in Game 1 of the World Series against the Blue Jays on Friday night at Rogers Centre in Toronto features the same starting nine players for a fifth straight game.

Game notes Setting the scene Another rivalry trophy is shelved for the foreseeable future. Ball State and Northern Illinois first met in 1941, and in 2008, Reneé Bemis sculpted the Bronze Stalk Trophy for the two midwest schools to compete for. Ball State remains in the MAC, but Northern Illinois is off to the Mountain […]
The D-backs 2025 outfield collectively took a step back from their previous performances, continuing what could be seen as a potentially worrying trend. In 2023, the three positions combined to be worth 2.4 bWAR Above Average (bWAA). In 2024, that figure dropped to 1.7 bWAA, and this year, it dropped below the average, coming it […]
We have a Fall Classic matchup between the National League’s chalk pick and one of the more surprising American League winners, at least based on preseason projections.

Here’s some good news in light of Atlético Madrid’s crushing 4-0 loss at Arsenal on Tuesday: Julián Alvarez is in absolutely no rush to leave the club amid social media speculation that he has turned down a contract renewal offer in search of a project that would practically guarantee him title wins. This is according […]
Second verse, same as the first. (Hopefully). Tonight, the Los Angeles Dodgers look to finish what they started, defending their World Series title from 2024. They will face the Toronto Blue Jays in what is shaping up to be a battle of the most annoying cliches and narratives. USA vs. Canada. Good vs Evil. David […]
