At this point, I’m pretty sure the Arizona Diamondbacks have angered a higher being. Twenty-two straight losses on the road — tied for the longest such streak in MLB history. Starting with a loss to the Miami Marlins on May 4, the Diamondbacks have yet to win a single game away from Chase Field, and […]
The Mets saw their lives flash before their eyes last night, as Jacob deGrom turned the Cubs into a mush to feed grandpa for three innings, and then abruptly left the game with shoulder soreness.

When that day comes, only the top-three vote-getters (nine for outfield) at each position will advance to phase two of voting which will determine the… Read more…
I’ve remarked numerous times that MLB owners can only see the one dollar right in front of their face instead of the three that might be waiting down the road. Most of the decisions that were just about cashing in now are why baseball’s popularity is currently diving down in a way that DC won’t […]
Dallas Baptist University is playing the University of Virginia in a win-or-go-home Super Regional game right now, and something I haven’t seen in a while just happened — a runner got on first, stole second, then the batter hit a sacrifice fly to deep right to move the runner to third.
