Ladies and Gentlemen, in the words of my friend and co-host Greg Malek, THE FLOOD GATES HAVE OPENED. On Tuesday, shortstop/third basemen/who knows where he’s going to play now, Manny Machado chose his future home, signing a 10-year, $300 million-dollar contract with the San Diego Padres. Now, I for one did not see this signingContinueContinue reading “The Floodgates Have Opened!!”

It’s funny how things work out sometimes. In this case, I’m talking about former Boston Red Sox World Series Champion and current New York Yankees scrub Jacoby Ellsbury announcing that he will be missing the start of Spring Training due to plantar fasciitis. So, I’ll say it again for the people in the back. It’sContinueContinue reading “From World Series Champ to Injury-Prone Yankee: The Legend of Jacoby Ellsbury”

It’s 4 a.m. on a Tuesday morning. Obviously, I can’t sleep, my excitement couldn’t be higher. Pitchers and Catchers report to spring training today and that means the beginning of the regular season is just around the corner. Just 107 days ago, Boston Red Sox Starting Pitcher, Chris Sale, took his first steps out ofContinueContinue reading “Pitchers and Catchers are reporting, it’s the best time of the year!”

A bomb just dropped on major league baseball and it had nothing to do with Bryce Harper or Manny Machado choosing their future destinations. After being selected 9th overall in last year’s MLB Draft by the Oakland Athletics 9th Oklahoma dual-sport athlete, Kyler Murray announced on Monday that he will be “firmly and fully committingContinueContinue reading “Did Kyler Murray make the right choice?”

When J.D. Martinez decided to wait until just after the beginning of Spring Training last year to sign his 5-year, $110 million contract with the Boston Red Sox, I thought that might have been a one-time thing. I mean, a perennial all-star hitter, a guy that could change the scope of a line-up and wouldContinueContinue reading “MLB Free Agency: A Waiting Game”

The Philadelphia Phillies are really starting to make waves this offseason. On Thursday, they were finally able to arrange a deal to acquire Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto in a trade for catcher Jorge Alfaro, pitching prospects Sixto Sanchez (who names their kid Sixto?) and Will Stewart, and an international bonus slot. First of all,ContinueContinue reading “Who are these Philadelphia Phillies?”

Wait, is it 2013 again? Remember, when PNC Park was bumping, the crowd was going nuts and Johnny Cueto dropped the ball? Do you remember the guy opposite of Cueto who threw 7-innings of 4-hit ball and delivered the first Pirates playoff victory since Game 6 of the 1992 NLCS? Well, on Monday, the PittsburghContinueContinue reading “Hey Franky, Welcome Back.”

It has finally come to the point where the NBA is more interesting off the court, than it is on the court. And this week was a prime example of it. First, Anthony Davis requested a trade from the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday. Then, a report was leaked that Kristaps Porzingis was worried aboutContinueContinue reading “Rumors, Speculations, and Conspiracy Theories AKA The NBA Regular Season”

Okay, you read the headline, you probably said to yourself this guy is crazy and doesn’t know what he’s talking about. But, just for a second think of what singing Bryce Harper would do for the Pirates. It could mean a NL Central title, a National League title, hell, it could even mean bringing homeContinueContinue reading “Could a spend-big, win-now, mentality bring Bryce Harper to Pittsburgh? I think so.”
