I'd rather be sitting in a ballpark.

I have no idea what the preseason odds were for the Dodgers-Jays WS battle, but I’m ready to sit back and enjoy. A few different friends have asked me if Toronto has a chance at slowing down the Dodger locomotive. I think what they really wondered was if there is a solution for Shohei Ohtani.…

Since he came to the Angels and MLB, Shohei Ohtani has continued to amaze us all. He’s not a unicorn no matter what people think. Rather he’s an extraordinary ballplayer that continues to do amazing things. What he did in Game 4 of the NLCS appears to be the most amazing feat in postseason history.…

I’m not going to lie, I’m really disappointed by the Brewers showing thus far in the NLCS. I thought they’d give the Dodgers better competition considering how well they played them (7-0) in the regular season. The only chance they had of winning was when Captain Hook pulled Blake Snell after 8 innings of shutout…

At least for the first game of each series I want to see the player introductions instead of dealing with the pregame blather unless it’s to report Arod was arrested. Oh wait, that’s an NFL thing.

With a marquee NFL game on tonight I don’t expect many of my Cub fan friends and relatives will be checking into the Seattle-Toronto opener tonight. Heck, I’m a little surprised I have the unwatchable FOX pregame show, but I’m curious to see if they will mention the Expansion 77 aspect. I’m betting the same…

Other than wishing a few guys well last night, I’m grateful that I didn’t have a horse in last night’s race otherwise I would have pulled out my nose hairs. Until I hopped in my car (middle of the 6th), I had only a third hand account of the Tigers-Mariners instant classic. The game was…

Even though it’s already been a couple days since Quinn Priester got his head handed to him by the Cubs in his first postseason appearance. His first inning implosion was neither the first of the season, nor will it be the last in the course of baseball history. The former first-round pick of the Pirates…

While posting the other day about fan reactions in different markets, I neglected to mention something hilarious. I’m one of those folks that believe the Phillies have an extreme homefield advantage and not just because their outfielders are more familiar with the nooks and crannies in the outfield. It really is about the crazy fans…

When sports talk radio began 30 some years ago, the format was simple, and it’s devolved into shouting matches between so-called experts and listeners who don’t have enough friends that care as much about sports as they do. Even radio stations that didn’t highlight sports or carry a particular team’ s games would devote a…

I am not sure fans of both the Cubs and Brewers respect either team yet, but the people who matter most do respect each other. Anyone who follows college football realizes 112% of what coaches say about the opponent is b.s. That’s not the case with either of these teams and not because of the…
