I was up late last night (a.k.a. early this morning) looking for a World Series comp that my football-loving audience here at BN Bears would understand. Before nodding off to dreamland, I landed on the idea of the Blue Jays losing Games 6 and 7 (and, ultimately, the World Series) was the baseball version of the 49ers last two Super Bowl losses. Both teams had leads and command of the game against juggernaut favorites, only to not cash in on opportunities before the big baddies came through wit...

In a winner-take-all Game 7 of the World Series, the first one for the Dodgers since the infamous 2017 series, the Dodgers had to rely on all their starting pitching to get the job done.

The World Series ended, it was really exciting, boo the Dodgers , blah blah blah. THE OFFSEASON IS OFFICIALLY HERE! That’s what we’re really on about today, eh? Now it’s time for clubs to start their march toward the 2026 season, reconstructing or supplementing their rosters, and working on their organizations.
For the Chicago Cubs, coming off of a well-earned 92-win season, the needs on the big league roster are relatively specific. There will be bench and bullpen work as always, but thi...

Now that the World Series is over, as tear-inducing as it was, the off-season starts, and off-season things happen. The morning after the World Series is decided, players can file for free agency. For four days, they can only negotiate with their current team, then, on the fifth day, God (or the commissioner) lets them […]

The time change is helping this morning, because I was up way too late watching that game …
There’s just no way around it: that was one of the most incredible Game Sevens in a very long time. Yes, 2016 tops it in my completely biased opinion, but this is right up there just behind it. Some tremendous individual performances. Huge game swings. Close calls. Eye-popping defense in big spots. A game-tying 9th inning home run. Extra innings. And then a game-winner in the 11th:
