I'd rather be sitting in a ballpark.

Without referencing the former ML pitching coach of the same name, isn’t Less supposed to be More (Les Moss)? Don’t hate me for tuning into the FOX pregame show for 2.7 minutes, but the six-man panel struck me as too much-even if Tom Brady and Gronk anchored the line. All of these pregame shows are…

Once upon a time, I would weather almost any storm to attend a baseball game. At some point I reached the age of reason and factored comfort and the ability to keep score into the equation and cut back on the number of inclement games I’d attend. Even though I don’t keep a scorecard at…

Supposedly, the Cubs just inked lefty reliever, Hoby Milner to a one-year deal. Hopefully, they’ll find a legit closer to fill out the pen, but I think this is a positive move because Craig Counsell has a relationship with the 35-year-old. He was at his most productive with the Brewers. Counsell knows how to use…

Due to anti-tanking rules and a little bit of luck, the White Sox landed the #1overall pick in the 2026 MLB draft and unless you’re a fatalist, it’s a good thing for the Sox. While I’m not excited about the specifics of the pick, I’m glad that some people will eventually be taking the draft…

I feel like Mr. Roarke in the opening scene of Fantasy Island even though I don’t know a single player chosen (thus far) in the Rule 5 Draft. In the past I wrote features on guys later taken in the draft which kind of screwed up my story, but on the whole being selected is…

As objective as I can be about college football, my passion for two college hoops teams runs pretty deep, but how I view those teams has changed over the years. For better (my health and sanity) or worse, I no longer stick out a losing effort. Rather than having my eyes bleed out, I’m going…

Despite all of the “conversations” and rumors or maybe because they were all true, Kyle Schwarber just signed a multi-year contract to remain a Phillie. Some of the baseball insiders are already claiming that they knew Schwarber was never signing anywhere else despite leaking stories to the contrary. Incidentally, the Cubs were t h i…

Having given the big stories a few days to breathe, I’m not surprised that the two local sports talkers in town have barely discussed the two historic upsets in college ball this weekend. With the exception of a few individual hosts, the bigger names in town know little about college sports and can’t have intelligent…

Even if the Cubs flop at the Winter Meetings this week, I think Jed Hoyer and the folks covering him believe he’s earned his place on a U.S coin. I haven’t seen a picture of him that doesn’t capture him in profile. He looks like he’s perpetually posing for a spot on the new dime.

Every so often a story catches my eye and heading into the Winter meetings there are plenty of speculative stories at best. Writers and talkers with or without sources spin some pretty fancy yarns with little regard for the truth. This story about Juan Sandoval and his journey is especially timely as there are myriad…
