For all the concern trolling and jaded responses to James Gunn’s DC experiment thus far, he’s the only man with the fortitude to unleash THREE Green Lanterns at us before a single nod to the existence of a Batman.

As a lifelong Major League Baseball fan and more importantly, a depressed writer obsessed with words, finding sports the best outlet to bloodlet those words, I think I’m allowed to call out some 2026 MLB players who, by mid-August, no-called, no-showed the season, disappointing me, the worst thing anyone can do. So here are the […]
In 2022, the National League adopted the designated hitter. One, not nearly enough for the Washington Nationals, moving star shortstop CJ Abrams over to second base after a long season of Abrams having no idea how to play shortstop. -5 Defensive Runs Saved this year, -11 DRS over his career. -17 Outs Above Average this […]
Friday night, Yankees escaped Gilead for the border, arriving in Toronto for a weekend series against a Blue Jays team loading up another heroic sprint to the World Series. Good guys lost. Blue Jays won 3-1. Trent Grisham got the action going, a solo homer, the Yankees way, Grisham’s 16th on the year. 1-0 New […]
Every morning, I roll over, grab the warm bottle of “Unwell” sitting on my nightstand—chug the oxygen out the plastic, eyes rolled back, bliss, euphoria—over, now that Alex Cooper is no longer producing her sweet, delicious Call Her Daddy juice. Cooper’s Unwell Beverage Co., which she launched in partnership with Nestlé SA in 2025, is […]

MLB owners aren’t opening the gates til they salary cap this league, looking around the landscape, NBA teams sold for multi-billy’s while MLB teams struggle with the lack of a defined wage ledger they can pencil in annually.

The Yankees 2026 stopping a runaway train with all their might, Peter Parker pulling webstrings, tearing his rotator cuffs to shreds, buildings bend as New York—a team designed to out clobber the field, missing their mightiest clobberer, the one with the most clobbers in single-season history, drug free is the way to be—clings to the […]
Last week’s series against the Chicago White Sox mattered. Climbing from the dungeons to the rooftops, Chicago leads the AL Central, only 4 wins behind the Yankees, the Bronx Bombers defused, Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger and Giancarlo Stanton all out indefinitely.
