The Oakland Raiders shocked the NFL world when they selected Clelin Ferrell fourth overall in the NFL Draft. What was even more shocking was that they passed on Kentucky edge rusher Josh Allen. Allen had been been considered one of the best prospects in the draft and consistently mocked inside the top five. He ended […]

The Cubs blew out the Nationals Friday night, scoring 11 runs against Washington’s bullpen in a 14-6 victory. Yet, in the bottom of the seventh inning the Cubs were clinging to a 5-3 lead, when their bullpen almost blew it. Brandon Kintzler gave up three hits and a run in the seventh and thanks to […]

The Cubs have claimed right-handed pitcher Chandler Shepherd off waivers from the Red Sox. The 26-year-old has struggled at Triple-A this season, posting a 10.01 ERA in 29.2 innings. He’s started seven games and has come in one time from the bullpen. The 26-year-old was drafted in 2014. Shepherd has a 4.09 ERA in 383.1 […]

Could the most talented player in the draft fall to the White Sox at 3? It's not impossible.

For the longest time, the idea of a Chicago Bears Ring of Honor has been floated about. It makes sense. The team has avoided it by instead retiring the jersey of the best players in franchise history. This, however, has become a problem since there are only so many numbers available. Chicago has done so […]

When word leaked that a kicker had arrived via trade, fans were ecstatic. The Chicago Bears Robbie Gould reunion had finally happened. Those hopes were quickly crushed though. Instead, GM Ryan Pace had executed a minor deal to acquire Eddy Pineiro from Oakland, a former undrafted free agent from Florida. His connections to Bears kicking […]

There were some fans who couldn’t wait to replace Kris Bryant with David Bote. It was time to trade Bryant. His shoulder must still be bad, or maybe getting hit on the head was still impacting him. Or maybe he just went through a slump the first couple weeks of 2019 and he’s actually the […]

The Chicago Bears shouldn’t be expected to make anymore significant roster moves in 2019. They’ve had themselves a solid offseason. They covered every key weak area as best they could. The defense remains intact and the offense got both younger and deeper. There is no reason to think this team isn’t fully capable of a […]

Kyle Schwarber probably had the best plate appearance of the season Friday night against the Nationals, as he capped off a 13-pitch at-bat with an opposite field, two-run home run. Then, Kris Bryant hammered a hanging slider for his second homer of the game, going back-to-back with Schwarber. Albert Almora Jr. also hit a home […]

Quarterbacks may always get the attention, but the NFL is a team sport. All 53 players on a roster must give their utmost effort and energy to simply win games. Never mind a championship. The Chicago Bears rediscovered this in 2018, going 12-4 and winning the NFC North. However, they received a tough but valuable […]

Albert Almora Jr. hitting a two-run bomb on a 0-2 pitch off Max Scherzer is something that actually happened. Here is video proof. Almora now has four home runs this season, three coming within the last 10 days. More fly balls, fewer grounders. Keep it up, Albert!

It remains puzzling why Jason La Canfora is still employed by CBS Sports at this point. Not only does he show a clear bias towards certain teams, but the vast majority of his predictions courtesy of his “sources” have proven to be complete garbage. It seems his favorite team to target for his pessimistic viewpoints […]

The White Sox have been playing above .500 baseball for a month, but they continue to deal with injuries to their starting rotation. Lucas Giolito missed a few weeks with a hamstring injury and Carlos Rodon will miss the rest of the season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. Now, another starter is going on the […]
