EDITOR’S NOTE: A version of this article originally ran on the 60th anniversary of this game, in 2023. I’m reposting it, lightly edited, as part of the walkoff wins series. 1963 was a watershed year for the Chicago Cubs. The widely-mocked College of Coaches was quietly ended. Bob Kennedy led the team for the entire […]

The Dallas Cowboys lost to the Arizona Cardinals. At just about no point in the game on Monday night were the Cowboys competitive. All the worst fears and speculations were realized in the manners in which we predicted in our worst thoughts and the cruelest part of it all is that none of us are […]

With the closure of the World Series and free agency officially open, we are now into the 2025-2026 MLB off-season. This will potentially be the last “normal” off-season before a looming lockout/labor stoppage, especially given the renewed discussion of a salary cap after the Dodgers’ repeat World Series title. The off-season isn’t my favorite time […]

How was he acquired? The Braves signed Rayven Antonio for just $10k as an international free agent in the same 2023 class where they landed Luis Guanipa. Antonio was a bit of a lottery ticket with some upside, but also a lot of development needed. What were the 2025 expectations? There were none. After signing […]

Thanks to the needs in the rotation, the bigger names at play there, and the nature of Chicago Cubs bullpen construction (read: less sexy), I have neglected to lay out explicitly the bullpen situation for the Cubs entering this offseason. Now that Andrew Kittredge has been sent back to the Orioles , the following Cubs relievers who threw 20+ innings in 2025 are still under team control: Daniel Palencia Porter Hodge End of list. It’s one thing to say that the Cubs always fin...

As we sit here in early November with the last vestige of the 2025 Major League Baseball season still fresh in our minds, it’s somewhat hard to believe that in under 100 days, pitchers and catchers will report to Florida and Arizona for the beginning of 2026 spring training. The MLB season is indeed long, […]

It has certainly been a strange few days for the Dallas Cowboys. Coming off the 27-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, it felt like the season was over. And it may still be. But Jerry Jones decided to take one last throw of the dice in 2025 and trade for Logan Wilson, and more importantly, […]

Overview Introduction Hey…coincidence is my middle name. Let me explain. These end-of-season-player-reviews are normally my kind of articles.
