The Rams have to play their starters against the Cardinals in Week 18 and the reason has nothing to do with playoff seeds. It’s because Sean McVay, Matthew Stafford, and the Rams can’t go into the playoffs having lost four of their last six games with handouts to teams like the Panthers, Falcons, and Cardinals. […]
Sorry, there was nothing posted yesterday. We hit the day between Christmas and New Year’s when friends and I had finished family time and had a friend’s time, which was very nice. And I tasted what I was told was Turkish whiskey, but as it was home-made (brought to Canada in a plastic Coke bottle), […]
The Jets are playing at this point for little beyond position in the 2026 NFL Draft. With the Falcons’ win over the Rams on Monday Night Football, the dream of the Jets landing the top pick has officially ended. The Jets currently sit third behind the Raiders and the Giants. At 2-14, the Raiders are […]
The end of the year gives us a chance to reflect and remember those we lost throughout the year. In the baseball world, we lost Hall of Famers Dave Parker and Ryne Sandberg, as well as baseball funnyman Bob Uecker. Other prominent baseball figures that passed away this year include Sandy Alomar, George Altman, Jim […]
Another holiday season is here, and with it more familial conversations about the Rays trading away their most important players and stars. Now that some dust has settled from the recent transactions, here’s a round up of evaluations of the Rays two recent trades of Brandon Lowe and Shane Baz from around the baseball blogging […]
As the 20th century entered its final decade, the Yankees were truly reaching a nadir in their franchise history. Yankee Stadium marking a full decade since its last taste of postseason baseball by the fall of 1991, owner George Steinbrenner turning over managers and GM’s faster than a sick person goes through a box of […]
In case you haven’t heard, the 2026 Mets will look very different from the teams we’ve rooted for over the past several years. The four longest-tenured Mets—Brandon Nimmo, Jeff McNeil, Pete Alonso, and Edwin Díaz—are all gone, having either been jettisoned from the team or allowed to walk away. The breaking up of this core […]
Here is a look at how the Las Vegas Raiders’ rookie class fared in a 34-10 home loss to the New York Giants on Sunday and looking ahead to Week 18’s season finale at home game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Ashton Jeanty: A week after one of his best games on the ground, the […]
Will Smith was one of the best offensive catchers during the 2025 regular season, as he was named to his third consecutive NL All-Star team and even registered some MVP votes. Despite suffering a hand injury that wiped out his final month of the regular season, he made his return in the postseason and delivered […]
With the transfer portal opening on Friday, January 2nd, Clemson is now racing to find an offensive coordinator. I would expect a coordinator to be announced by then or shortly thereafter. It would have been ideal to begin this process sooner, and there have likely been some feelers put out to candidates, but it seems […]
For all intents and purposes, the Dallas Cowboys’ 2025 season is over. While the Cowboys still have one game left to play against the New York Giants on Sunday, the game has no real meaning and will only impact both teams’ draft position. Both the Cowboys and Giants would benefit more from losing Sunday’s game […]
The sound of Edwin Díaz’s signature trumpets signaled more than a dramatic entrance from the bullpen; they were the overture to a serialized adventure story, the theme song to a Mets career which, from its first moment to its last, proved boundlessly entertaining and unpredictable. It began with one of the most instantly panned trades […]
What can history tell us about the Kansas City Royals’ next move and when should fans expect it? In this episode of the Royals Rundown Podcast, hosts Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco take a big-picture look at the Royals’ offseason, identifying clear transaction patterns from recent years and what they could signal about the club’s […]
Continuing my look around the majors to see if any of the players rumored to be on the trade market make sense for the Phillies. Today, I’ll examine St. Louis Cardinals utility man Brendan Donovan. The background Donovan burst onto the scene in 2022, winning a Gold Glove award and finishing third in National League […]
Entering 2026, the Washington Nationals bullpen is loaded with uncertainty. The unit had the worst bullpen ERA in all of baseball last year, with a 5.59 mark. Rather than adding to the unit, Paul Toboni has made the group even worse on paper so far this offseason by trading presumptive closer Jose A. Ferrer to […]
Approaching the midway point of the season, the Rangers are still a middle of the pack team at best and can’t maintain any form of consistency as injuries continue to hold them back.
In Mariners news… Around the league…
As the A’s head into Spring Training 2026, one of the areas for the greatest growth potential is the starting rotation. At this point, and without any further trades or free agent signings, there are likely only two absolute locks for the starting five. Barring injury, we can count on righty Luis Severino, who came […]
December means the NFL Playoffs are fast approaching so let’s look at how the former Orange on NFL rosters fared this week. Arizona Cardinals: Garrett Williams Williams did suffer a torn achilles last week and hopefully he can make a full recovery. Atlanta Falcons: Matthew Bergeron Bergeron played 53 snaps in Atlanta’s win against the […]
The New York Yankees tied for the best record in the AL East last year, losing out on a division title (and postseason bye) via the tiebreaker with the Toronto Blue Jays. What this should tell you is that the Yankees had a decent enough team, albeit one that had a number of players potentially […]
Slow starts can hide big seasons, but few were as dramatic in 2025 as Vinnie Pasquantino’s. Strip away April, and Pasquantino hit like a star. The problem, for both him and the Royals, is that this pattern has become familiar, and in a season where Kansas City can’t afford to dig an early offensive hole, […]
Is there a chance that, at age-34, Willson Contreras gets even better next year? As a right-handed hitter who pulls the ball in the air in left field, he’s going to the perfect ballpark. And there is very recent history of a righty coming from St. Louis to Boston and immediately improving in a statistical […]
At year’s end, it’s a good time to reflect and remember those who passed away throughout the year. In the baseball world in general: Hall of Famer Dave Parker and notables Rich Dauer, Mike Greenwell and Chet Lemon, and, of course, Hall of Fame Frick Award winner Bob Uecker. There were also 17 members of […]
The Arizona Cardinals are the second-oldest consecutive pro football organization in North America. The Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League began in 1873, 152 years ago. The Cardinals’ first season of operation was in 1898, for a span of 127 years. RELATED: HOW THE BIDWILL FAMILY BECAME OWNERS OF THE CARDINALS The NFL began […]
The Brewers had an amazing season in 2025. They put together a surprise league-leading regular season and rode that into a small playoff run. Most fans would say that everything is looking bright for the team. It’s a positive mark in the Wisconsin sports scene, which doesn’t look as good when you look outside the […]
