Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
ICYMI: Max with the story about how there were “Four Royals named Silver Slugger finalists”. Of course, so did Anne Rogers at MLB and Jaylon Thompson at The Star. Another story that both outlets wrote about was Vinnie Pasquantino being a player correspondent for the World Series. From the MLB story: Pasquantino was the correspondent […]
Meet the Mets Christian Scott’s rehab from Tommy John surgery is going smoothly, and he has one more live bullpen session coming up before he takes a bit of a breather ahead of a full ramp-up that will start in January. The Mets signed left-handed pitcher Richard Lovelady, who they designated for assignment multiple times […]
In an Orioles system that has brought a slew of top young players to the majors in recent years, Enrique Bradfield Jr. is a different kind of prospect. He doesn’t have the #1 overall pick pedigree of Adley Rutschman or Jackson Holliday. He doesn’t have the power potential of Colton Cowser, Jordan Westburg, or Coby […]
Tonight, the World Series begins. Soon, the baseball world will have answers to many questions: If the series goes to Game 7, we’ll have answers to all these questions by Nov. 1. If the series doesn’t go as long, we may know even sooner. At that point, the offseason officially begins and the focus will […]
In the summer of 2010, I was walking through the gargantuan Miller Park AmFam Field parking lot with my aunt. While navigating the rows of tailgaters leading up to the House That Selig Built, we were approached by a guy in a Chicago White Sox jersey. Why a South Sider was present for a Twins […]

The world’s biggest Toronto Blue Jays fan has arrived to discuss tonight’s World Series Game 1 between the Blue Jays and the Los Angeles Dodgers from the Rogers Centre in Toronto.

Today is the big day! The World Series kicks off this weekend between the predicted juggernauts the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the surprise AL win-leaders the Toronto Blue Jays. While Cubs fans would much rather they were still in the mix, and Mariners fans are still mourning their best postseason run yet, there will be […]
33 years ago today The Blue Jays won their first World Series. It seems our first World Series win isn’t as celebrated as our second one, likely because it didn’t end in a walk-off homer. But it did end with Joe Carter jumping up and down. Game 6 was a 4-3, 11-inning win. We were […]
1901 In possibly the first instance of crosstown movement, Cubs center fielder Danny Green signed for bigger money with the White Sox as one of scores of players ditching the National League for the more lucrative pastures of the American. Green was coming off of a very strong 1901 season, with a 3.9 WAR buoyed […]
The culmination of the 2025 Major League Baseball season is here, with the Los Angeles Dodgers taking on the Toronto Blue Jays for this year’s World Series title. Of course, the Detroit Tigers were a part of the postseason action, but they faltered in the ALDS against the Seattle Mariners in a white-knuckle five-game series. […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Our torturous hiatus from baseball is over. After a three-day break following the Championship Series round, the World Series begins tonight. It’ll be the Dodgers (bleh) against the Blue Jays (yuck) in a matchup in which I, personally, will be rooting for the meteor. First pitch of Game 1 is scheduled […]
The Fall Classic starts tonight. Enjoy these, the last 4 to 7 baseball games we’ll have until the spring. Onto the links. Phillies news No, the Phillies aren’t trading Bryce Harper.

The Pittsburgh Pirates catching unit in 2025 somehow experienced some improvement, but not in a way that polarized the position group, rather it may have become clear just how poor this group is. Joey Bart Joey Bart is the most seasoned major leaguer from this otherwise very young group. Bart came to Pittsburgh from the […]
Introduction I’ll be frank – this wasn’t the World Series matchup I was hoping to see when the playoffs began. I feel confident that I’m not alone in that feeling, especially within this fanbase. Personally, I would have preferred a Mariners-Brewers World Series and the level of disappointment and disillusionment here in Milwaukee is palpable. […]
It’s a big test for the Lads this weekend as we travel to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea! So we caught up with Simon Johnson from The Athletic so he could tell us about covering Chelsea for the last 20+ years! On today’s agenda: All of this and much more – get subscribed to […]
The Eagles just played the Giants, so there’s little point in going over the same schematic matchups twice in a month. So, instead of my usual offensive and defensive preview, I wanted to focus on something different. Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart. The rookie quarterback has only a handful of starts, but his film has […]
The Rangers are still searching for their first home win after a wild 6–5 overtime loss to the Sharks, who picked up their first victory of the season at MSG.

The Arizona Cardinals have issues with the offense. Most are pointing at OC Drew Petzing as the problem. Others mention the lack of talent along the offensive line. The most obvious is when both starting running backs became injured and subsequently missed multiple games. Some folks are blaming the lack of production from the receiver […]
Julián Alvarez’s stellar performance for Atlético Madrid in their 5-2 victory over Real Madrid in September highlighted his importance to the team. The 25-year-old scored twice as Atlético put their local rivals in the shade. The striker’s display inevitably triggered renewed talk about what the future holds for him.
