    Red Sox acquire right-hander Naoyuki Uwasawa from TB for cash considerations

    Sometimes Foo needs a day to rest and recuperate.

    Jordan Montgomery signs with Arizona

    At least one or two of Boras' clients are going to opt out and hit the market again next winter. It will be interesting to see if they hit the market again with him as their agent.

    I'm completely on the UCLA bandwagon because I'd love to see them take down both LSU and Iowa, but none of the three played their best basketball the past couple of days.

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    According to his bio in the Angels media guide, Mizuhara was a graduate of Cal-Riverside, but the school says no one by his name was ever enrolled there. He was also said to have been Okajima's translator with the Red Sox and during his really brief time in the Yankees organization, except he...

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    Or the guy who apparently lied about his prior work and education disappeared because he's a scam artist. I haven't read all the details because frankly, it's the last thing I want to be the talk of baseball with opening day just a few days away, but I find it weird everyone seems to be ignoring...

    If you have a 2" vertical, you'd better develop a hook shot.

    I'm just going to start considering UCLA and USC to be B1G members now to make myself feel better.

    It even looked like an LSU broadcast. Sure, there's game action, but let's spend the next 30 seconds on a tight closeup of the MTSU girl crying after she just got set up for her 5th foul instead.

    #11 seed Middle Tennessee State – the only underdog to win in the 1st round – has a late 1st half lead on LSU's home court.

    2023-2024 Women’s College Basketball

    What an absolute embarrassing performance by Ohio State. They reverted to their bad habits of the first half of the season and just failed to execute or have a plan for half the game. Duke plays good defense but is still thoroughly mediocre. I can't believe they played this poorly in the final...

    I turned on the Ohio State & Duke game a little late and went over 20 minutes before I saw Duke make a field goal – over 10 minutes of game time. Ohio State is an excellent defensive team, but this is the worst shooting team I've seen all year so far. They air-balled a free throw and have had...

    2024 Guardians: Rockin' the Vogt

    De Los Santos has been offered back to Arizona and, while things could still change, the roster is basically complete. They haven't announced the #5 starter, but it's Carrasco. There's going to be a lot of juggling between center, right and DH, which is most likely going to be a huge failure...

    Red Sox sign RHP Chase Anderson

    Not if it's his outfielders.

    I thought Michigan might give USC a good challenge but they aren't even going to get that far.

    Kansas erases a 10-point Michigan lead in the final 6 minutes of regulation and we're headed for overtime.

    2024 Guardians: Rockin' the Vogt

    Myles Straw being placed on waivers is something I certainly didn't foresee, especially with him enjoying a strong spring training, but he is what he is and it's only a matter of time before any hot streak of his ends. The hope is that some large market team is in dire need of center field...

    Baseball Is Broken (on the field, proposed rule changes, attendance, etc.)

    If someone's mental game is so fragile that a little gamesmanship throws them off for a month every single opponent should take full advantage of it at every opportunity. As a Cleveland fan, I blamed no one but James Karinchak for his problems with the pitch clock last year.

    2024 Guardians: Rockin' the Vogt

    I suspect Carlos Carrasco just won himself a MLB job on his birthday with 6 strong innings today – 1 earned run on 2 hits. Tyler Beede was gaining momentum as a dark horse candidate to keep Gavin William's spot in the rotation warm for the first couple of weeks of the season, but I think he's...
