I'd rather be sitting in a ballpark.

Rather than relying on social media, I have to wonder who the fans are blaming for each of the remaining teams’ losses in the Wild Card round. After all each of the teams has lost a game. And from what I’ve seen, each manager isn’t without fault and may be culpable for his team’s failures.…

Day one of the wild card series is in the books and I’ve already forgotten about the NFL. The Cubs won their first postseason game since 2017 or so I’ve been told. After watching most of the first two games and some of the third game, I can’t say I was wowed by any of…

Of the twelve teams playing in MLB’s postseason, three have never won the whole enchilada. Of the three, the Padres have the most difficult path as they have to get through the Cubs and the Wildcard round before facing fellow 1969 expansion team, Milwaukee. Of the three, only the Mariners have never appeared in a…

Even with expanded playoffs and divisions with no boundaries, the 2025 postseason opens with some traditional rivalries. The Red Sox visit the Yankees for a best of three series in NYC, the Reds head to L.A to renew an NL West rivalry. Closer to home the Tigers face Cleveland at Progressive and the Padres are…

There are those in the local media, and some busybody Cub fans that are selling the Cubs high on the playoffs, but I’m not buying. I usually tire of guys playing the fool and that includes professional athletes and not just fifth grade boys who make fools of themselves. When you are trending in the…

As luck would have it, the holiday coincidentally falls with 6 games left in the current baseball season and if I can work it right, I’ll figure someway to obsess over postseason roster construction for all of the potential participants. I’d like to think that I could assemble a few of my baseball friends or…

Since I had to use auto-draft for my fantasy football team this season, I’m already less invested in my team or the NFL right now. Thus, I should be more aware of what is going on in MLB outside of the NL Central. I have been watching the AL Central race and not because of…

Whether you are an ardent fan of Miracle Whip or prefer mayonnaise in its most basic form, you probably think condiments in general rock, and some may even believe that the newest fad is ” the greatest thing since mayo real or fake. Ordinarily, I’m not one to buy into the hype surrounding sports or…

For the most part, when I attend a professional baseball game these days, I’m focused on the game 98.6% because nobody really gives 100% of anything. That’s not to say I won’t leave early under certain conditions/circumstances, but I’m following the game pretty intently (scorecard in hand). Even if I’m shooting for an assignment, I…
