    2024 Red Sox spring training games

    That's the thing about the MLB Draft. There are so many superstars that are drafted late.

    Let's Talk About MLBTV

    So I got a new account with slickdeals (so I could send messages again). Sent a message requesting an email address and offered $10 AGC. Got like 6 OMs with emails. First one was gone, second was not. Exchanged AGC, got a link, opened it on my iPhone, took me to the mlbApp and voila, MLB TV...

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

    I tend to agree with this. Let the advertising dollars flow and let the companies promote their "product" as they wish. But having MLB promote the play of the day with Fanduel really hurts my brain.

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

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

While true, any player on the hook for a lot of money in gambling has the incentive to...

    Yoshinobu Yamamoto signs with Dodgers for 12 years, 325M

    And for thos inlcined to play Fantasy Baseball, plenty of drafs take place after the Korea series, which means you get him with that bad matchup to start as part of your pick/purchase. But in all seriousness, it is one game and a good lineup (Padres) but at this time pitchers are ahead of...

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

    Potential new NFL rules

    It starts and ends with Tua being mostly dead in a ballgame. Yes, we need heavy fines to teams that allow this crap. And a serious "spotter".

    I agree. It's the rush to extend Sale that started the spiral. HOF GM?

    The 2024 San Francisco 49ers

    Yeah, but now the DL really needs work, either through the draft or free agency.

    The 2024 San Francisco 49ers

    It is very hard to say that I (or the fan base in general) is suffering with the Niners when they have 5 Lombardi trophies and have been to 4 out of 5 NFCCG, plus have made 3 Super Bowls in the last 4 years, and are expected to contend big time again. But man those are some heart breaking...
