I'd rather be sitting in a ballpark.

Unless you’re related to one of the many unsigned free agents, you probably aren’t too concerned with their future. Maybe the team you pull for still has some holes to fill and you’re trying to figure out who is left on the market or who could be had in a trade. I admit to being…

We’re less than two months away from spring training, but I like that the Cubs have seemingly come up with a philosophy. In signing a defensive-minded catcher, former gold-glove outfielder (in center) and a solid shortstop, they are finally going strong up the middle. Nobody can assure me that the three will live up to…

If you have ever listened to a team sporting event on television or the radio, it’s impossible to escape the endless recitations of all the players resumes. It’s quite laughable as all of them have reached the pinnacle of their careers in reaching the highest league available. Rest assured, these guys and gals were the…

Do you have a friend or relative that can’t help himself or herself when it comes to making outlandish claims? People often make claims about what they can and will do only to fall short. It’s usually pretty harmless. Nobody really loses when I guy falls short of his claim to polish off a pizza…

But wait, there’s more. How many times do you recall the legendary huckster imploring you not to touch your dial before you sign on to another wonderous gimmick that will change your life? It’s almost as if Ron co-authored the Carlos Correa story with Rod Serling. You couldn’t make this stuff up, no matter how…

I hope that Santa found his way to your abode and that you aren’t emptying stockings filled with coal right now-although given the current weather, coal for the furnace might not be so bad after all. In a few hours, I’ll be posting like crazy, so buckle up and get ready for some Scott Boras-Carlos…

Let’s not pretend Justin Fields isn’t the most exciting thing to hit Chicago since Donny Osmond took up residence in the northern suburbs for his stint in Joseph. It’s really hard to believe that the NFL season isn’t over yet. And after this weekend’s games, we’ve got two more weeks to endure. Professional sports leagues…

I’d love to say that the two days has cleared things up for me, but it hasn’t and I’m sure Giants fans are no less confused. They’ve also got to be pretty steamed. It seemed like years ago when the Giants signed Carlos Correa to a 13-year, $350 million deal. And then, at the last…

When college football coach Mike Leach passed away 9 days ago, mentees and friends within the industry talked about their plans to connect with him, or recent interactions. He was that type of guy. Like him or not, he was charismatic-often speaking his mind on any number of subjects. Fans connected with him because of…

Can anything the Dodgers do, go under the radar? Los Angeles has always been about the hype. Throw in the fact they spend billions on ballplayers and subtlety doesn’t come to mind. It’s also impossible to predict how a 35-year-old DH will respond to a less hitter-friendly environment. I don’t think going from Boston to…
