I'd rather be sitting in a ballpark.

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…

Here’s a very brief initial post after that exhausting extra inning affair last night. I know some people are going to criticize every move each manager made, and highlight where the Jays went wrong. There was so much inherent drama that it seems criticism would diminish all that everyone enjoyed. For so many people to…

I’m not sure which I dread the most, the end of the baseball season, setting the clock back an hour or the start of holiday music 24/7 on a Chicago radio station. All of which happen today/tonight.

Save for those wacky Canadians, baseball got what we wanted a Game 7. How we got here is pure theater. I’m glad that my FOX is now set on permanent mute and I won’t listen to any more nonsense from three egomaniacs that seem to have forgotten they aren’t suiting up. At this point in…

Four summers ago, I attended a minor league game in Beloit and thought I was seeing a former first round pitcher with a bright future. They guy never made it beyond AA despite a great 4 innings of 9-strikeout ball. During the season I had a couple occasions to speak with him about his future…

After a grueling 2.5 year I finally got the MUTE button to work in time for Saturday’s game between the Dodgers and Blue Jays. I didn’t stay up for the 18-inning marathon game last night, but what I did catch was blissful silence. Somehow, in the past fifteen innings spread out over two days, I…

Heading into the national anthems, FOX ran a FanDuel ad for in-game betting. I don’t believe a word coming from either of the Weasel commissioners (Manfred and Silver) about gambling and their sports. Does anyone believe that Cleveland’s chances weren’t damaged by the absence of their closer Emmanuel Clase? Next thing they’ll be telling us…

At long last the 2025 World Series is here and there are several narratives that FOX and company will be pursuing over the next couple of weeks. Some have been percolating over the past month or so. Some people have been suggesting it’s a battle between Goliath’s with not a David in sight. I think…
