—The Louisville baseball team dropped its fifth straight Thursday night at Miami. The Cards and ‘Canes will play game two tonight at 7 in Coral Gables. —It’s now officially official: The men’s and women’s NCAA basketball tournaments are expanding to 76 teams in 2027. Barf. One of the primary reasons this change that no one […]
The Pirates have had a handful of big name free agent signings in the offseason. The Bucs signed players like Brandon Lowe, Ryan O’hearn, Marcell Ozuna and Gregory Soto to name a few. Who has been the most impactful free agent signing so far for the Bucs ? To me, the obvious pick for most impactful […]
The Arizona Cardinals have signed their first round pick, Jeremiyah Love. From the team: The Arizona Cardinals Football Club today announced the signing of Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love, the team’s first-round (3rd overall) selection in the 2026 NFL Draft, to a four-year contract with a team option for a fifth year. The signing took place […]
Baseball is full of statistical oddities, but the St. Louis Cardinals in 2008 and 2009 had one of the strangest name coincidences in franchise history. Enter Brian Barden and Brian Barton. Both were born in California. Both were born in April. Both were trying to find their footing in the big leagues at the exact […]
This past offseason, many Yankees fans grew anxious as Cody Bellinger remained unsigned and the club’s only outside addition appeared to be Ryan Weathers. These were the days before the “run it back Yankees” became the reality surrounding the roster construction for 2026. Even after signing Bellinger and making a few additional moves, many felt […]
The Cubs’ starting rotation has actually done pretty well in 2026, considering they lost Cade Horton for the season after two starts, and now are missing Matthew Boyd with an injury for the second time this year (and Boyd has a 6.00 ERA in five starts in 2026). The team’s 3.77 starting pitcher ERA ranks […]
The Mariners finally showed some life against a really tough opponent, handing the Braves their first series loss of the season earlier this week. All three games were incredibly close affairs as you would expect in a series between two playoff contenders. Seattle now embarks on a seven-game road trip and the beginning of a […]
Thanks to an offensive outburst by Keibert Ruiz, which included 2 doubles and a solo shot, the Nationals beat the Twins 7-5 to secure the series win and an even 3-3 homestand. The win brought their record on the year to 18-20, good for sole possession of second place in the NL East and 2 […]
What if before the season, I told you that a former Phillie would be leading the National League in OPS come the second week of May? You’d probably assume that Nick Castellanos was having some sort of revenge season out in San Diego, right? Well, don’t worry. Nicky is batting .183 and playing his usual […]
Happy Friday. The Jays are back home for a series against the Angels. It almost can’t be worse than the last series. I think the team has let Tropicana Field get into their heads. Maybe all the batters should move back in the batter’s box: Petriello talks about it here. There is talk about having […]
The Nats have had a mixed bag from their starters in 2026 which honestly is a good thing considering "big bag of just crap" was a reasonably good expectation. Foster Griffin is pitching to much better results than anyone could have hoped for. Irvin and Cavalli are hitting about where you think they would. Mikolas and Littell are struggling even with PJ Poulin doing some "Relief starting" in their place. But it;s still early and a game or two in one direction or the other can really effect how ...
The New York Mets (14-23) travel to the desert to face the Arizona Diamondbacks (17-19) in a three-game series. While the Mets have won their last two series against bad teams, they still co-own the worst record in baseball and have a lot more work to do before convincing fans that they’re a serious baseball […]
Yesterday was School Day at the K, and hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Kansas City-area children were attending their first Royals game (and learning early on that being a Royals fan means seeing a lot of losing!) Despite the loss, it was a beautiful day in a beautiful ballpark, and they got to see a couple […]
The Arizona Cardinals got past the Kyler Murray equation, and newly minted head coach Mike LaFleur settled on having Jacoby Brissett lead this franchise going forward. The team then brought in an experienced backup in Gardner Minshew to go along with developmental QB Kedon Slovis. And then GM Monti Ossenfort took the University of Miami […]
Floyd Mayweather made an appearance for press conference for his upcoming exhibition fight against Mike Zambidis on June 27, but naturally what most observers are more interested in is where things stand with a supposed rematch with Manny Pacquiao. It had been reported and even announced by Netflix that the rematch was on, but Mayweather […]
Mookie Betts is starting a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City, and will play for the Comets on Friday and Saturday, the team announced on Thursday. Saturday marks the five-week mark since Betts strained his right oblique. Kiké Hernández is already with Oklahoma City and has played two games so far for the […]
Art López could always hit. Despite an injured throwing arm that limited his effectiveness in the outfield, a diminutive stature, and little fanfare, he played until the age of 36, winning championships in six different countries. A hit tool can carry a ballplayer quite a long way, and despite his brief MLB career, the man […]
Lionel Messi has shared his thoughts on World Cup 2026 as he bids to retain the trophy he won with Argentina last time out in Qatar. There will obviously be a host of Barcelona players at the World Cup, with Spain one of the favorites heading into the tournament. Lamine Yamal is expected to be […]
Only two regular season weekends remain for No. 20 Ole Miss to make its case for the postseason, and the final home series with No. 9 Texas A&M might be the biggest weekend of the season. Currently the Rebels (32-17, 12-12 SEC) sit at No. 13 in the RPI rankings, which in theory is a […]
Your 2026 New York Mets: It just didn’t go our way there “It was close. Especially from our angle, I couldn’t tell. And whatever they called on the field, I was pretty sure it was going to stand. And we called down and [replay analyst] Harrison [Friedland] said the same thing — there’s not an […]
2026 has been a breakout season for CJ Abrams on the offensive side of the ball, posting a .401 OBP, .960 OPS, and hitting 9 home runs entering play today. He is hitting the ball harder than ever, and his improved approach at the plate has led to a career-low strikeout rate and a career-high […]
The first inning of Andrew Painter’s start against the Athletics was a painful one. The first four batters all reached base safely and all scored thanks to home runs by Shea Langeliers and Brent Rooker. The pitch to Langeliers was a bad one, one that got appropriately punished, but the home run to Rooker wasn’t […]
Mizzou baseball returns to Columbia this weekend looking for a needed rest, and its opponent coming into Columbia — the Vanderbilt Commodores — are trying to navigate their own late‑season slide. The Tigers will have to tangle with the Commodores this upcoming week in a three-game weekend set. Mizzou is in search of an SEC […]
The Kansas City Royals just wrapped a pivotal series against the Cleveland Guardians, and there is plenty to unpack, from a wave of pitching injuries to the emergence of some intriguing names from within the organization. Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco open with the injury news reshaping the Royals’ rotation outlook. Cole Reagins, Noah Cameron, […]
