Baseball, not football is the greatest sport and partly because anything can happen. When the Bears win the Super Bowl this season after back-to-back 5-12 seasons, it won’t be that big a deal because Ben Johnson is coaching Caleb Williams.

However, everyone following (and loving) MLB, had the NL and AL Central divisions pegged. Then the Cardinals and Twins go on 8-game winning streaks concurrently. I’m on record as saying that won’t last forever. The day after the Rockies got rolled by the Padres (21-0), they beat San Diego 9-3 and Bud Black is relieved of his duties as manager. Take “relieved” any way you want.

If and when the 2025 Rockies crush the 2024 White Sox record for futility, who will crack open the champagne?
