Posted on June 30, 2016 by Bryan Zarpentine A couple of weeks ago, the race atop the AL Central division was tight and competitive, with four teams separated by just a few games. However, all that has been changed by the Cleveland Indians, who have become the hottest team in baseball. On Wednesday, the Indians […]

Posted on June 29, 2016, by Travis Pulver When the off-season began, there were few things that football fans could count on happening, but there was one that practically a lock—Andrew Luck would sign a ridiculous contract extension with the Indianapolis Colts. And he has. The former No. 1 pick has signed a five-year extension […]

Posted on June 29, 2016, by Travis Pulver Former Cleveland Browns and Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel has some issues. He talks like he wants to play in the NFL, but he does appear to be working too hard to get back on a roster. Responsibility does not seem to be something he adheres to […]

Posted on June 29, 2016 by Bryan Zarpentine Just when he was starting to turn things around, it appears that Arizona Diamondbacks starter Zack Greinke has suffered a set back.

Posted on June 29, 2016 by Bryan Zarpentine The Boston Red Sox haven’t exactly gotten what they were expecting from David Price when they signed him to the most expensive contract a pitcher has ever received this past offseason, and Price agrees. Speaking in the days leading up to his start Wednesday, which will come […]

Posted on June 28, 2016 by Bryan Zarpentine The New York Mets have been able to dodge some injury scares lately, but it’s possible that their luck may be running out. There are reports that both lefty Steven Matz and righty Noah Syndergaard are suffering from bone spurs in their pitching elbows. The Mets have […]

Posted on June 28, 2016 by Bryan Zarpentine With Stephen Strasburg on the DL, the Washington Nationals have a void to fill in their starting rotation, at least for the time being.

Posted on June 28, 2016 by Bryan Zarpentine Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant made baseball history Monday night while helping the Cubs to an 11-8 win over the Cincinnati Reds.

Posted on June 28, 2016, by Travis Pulver Teams will often exhaust any and every option available to them to make the team better. If they find a new technique, new drill, or make a new friend that may be able to help the team play better they use it (or him/her). Atlanta Falcons head […]

Posted on June 27, 2016, by Travis Pulver Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No! It’s Tim Tebow! Tim Tebow may be the kind of guy you don’t want leading the offense of your favorite football team, but it is easy to say most coaches, fans, and parents, in general, […]

Posted on June 27, 2016 by Bryan Zarpentine There may be the slightest of chinks in Clayton Kershaw’s armor after all. The lefty, who is in the midst of an amazing season, even by his standards, is reportedly dealing with pain in his lower back. On Monday, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed that Kershaw is […]
