I'd rather be sitting in a ballpark.

Anytime we question how someone really feels, we suggest employing a lie detector even though most of us don’t have access to one. Spouses under threat of major arguments will often fudge a little to keep the peace or use specifically vague terms. Front offices of professional sports teams will blatantly lie when discussing plans…

For as passionate I am about baseball and college hoops (to a lesser degree) I don’t really spend any time watching sports talk or sports yell on TV. So on that rare occasion that I find myself out for lunch during the week, I’m stuck with multiple TV’s, and luckily today all were set to…

I haven’t heard any media types pretending they predicted that Josh Naylor would be the first Major League ballplayer to sign a free agent deal this offseason. It seems like Carlos Santana repeatedly jumped the gun the past few years and signed before anyone finished prepping their Thanksgiving turkey. Because the Mariners haven’t confirmed the…

Unlike the NFL, MLB and the minors have clearer delineations of the offseason, even if the general public doesn’t pay attention. Earlier this week, the GM meetings in Las Vegas were completed and if you don’t live in a ML city, the news likely didn’t register. Even if you aren’t a passionate fan of the…

Even though MLB is holding their GM meetings in Las Vegas right now most sports fans are more worried about which mediocre third-string QB will be steering his NFL team into oblivion instead of worrying about ML rosters. I just read a story that cited 20 Reds minor leaguers who announced their free agency, that’s…

Because I had to work last night and because I don’t live or die with either the Packers or Eagles, I missed the 10-7 game. I’m sure the NFL will sell it as a great game despite 3 total points through 3 quarters. Maybe this will slow the roll on the great Packers and Jordan…

I’m not going to name specific names because I don’t want to have to attach “alleged” to every idiot that’s thrown their careers down a toilet, nor do I want to have to cite everyone involved. There are far too many jerks spoiling professional sports for most of us. I’m talking about the betting, cheating,…

For the past few months those covering the game have been guessing what players and coaches will be wearing new uniforms in 2026 and they’ve been wrong in most instances. However, since the end of the World Series has ended, players and teams have mutually declined options and some of them will find new homes…

Even if the end result of the 2025 World Series appeared to be inevitable, it riveted the continent for 10 days or so. I can’t imagine that Canadians have spent more time in front of the television in the past decade. It seems that most sports fans have already shifted their attention to the NFL,…

To be clear, I was rooting for the Jays and not the Dodgers although I am happy that my guy Clayton ended his HOF career with another World Series ring. I had hoped Don Mattingly would have finally won a ring, but I won’t lose any sleep over the outcome. I’ll leave it to Jays…
