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 […]
The National League MVP race, 2 men duel in the forum. Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani and Chicago Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong. The American League, one man stands solo. Yordan Alvarez is raking, yo. Hitting 322/.436/.621 with 25 doubles, 35 home runs, 87 RBI, 80 runs and 196 OPS+. He leads […]

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. Meanwhile, the MLB players’ association appears the last remaining major sports union not selling their rights for […]
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.

The upcoming 2026 NFL season has some interesting QB battles. Most notably, the awkward power struggle in Minnesota… Let’s […]

I know a savvy business mind when I see one. After another disappointing, injury-plagued Warriors season, Draymond Green elected to opt out of the […]
The Lakers won 53 games last season. They won a playoff series, beat Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets. And only Luka Doncic, Austin Reeves, Jarrad Vanderbilt, Jake LaRavia, Dalton Knecht and Bronny James were allowed back on the team for next season’s campaign. An entire new roster, mostly guys who keep sunscreen at arm’s […]
The Minnesota Vikings were so close. [Gun pointed to temple} Always have been. They watched Sam Darnold leave to win the Super Bowl, in front of Bad Bunny, while JJ McCarthy was statistically one of the worst quarterbacks in NFL history, Carson Wentz shattered his elbow and Max Brosmer accidentally became important at work. Minnesota […]
Chiefs needed OC Eric Bieniemy. 20th in yards, 21st in scoring, OC Matt Nagy, somehow immediately earning a job with the New York Giants, dragged the Kansas City Chiefs offense to mediocrity. Injuries were a factor too, obviously, Patrick Mahomes tore his ACL. Travis Kelce moves like the oldest player in NFL history. I don’t […]
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers decided they won’t be signing any of their best players to contract extensions. As NFL training camps open up today, 2-time All-Star nose tackle Vita Vea’s requested a trade away from the team following frustrating contract negotiations.
