Day 71

Fresh Start_71: This should be fun!
Let me say this about Wrigley field and the Cub fans in October… I love it. The Eddie Vedder seventh inning stretch was the best rendition of 2016 playoff run, and the best since Harry Caray. Caray would have loved to be here for this run, and that seems to be the story around the North side of Chicago. The city said goodbye to the great “Grandpa Rossy” as David Ross played his last game in Wrigley in his career. The Cubs have adopted Ross as their own.

Game 6 should be a ton of fun for a baseball fan like myself, and nerve racking for the Indian and Cub fans around the country. The edge on paper has to go to the Chicago Cubs, because of the reinforcements coming back to Cleveland. Jake Arrieta is back on the mound on full rest, Kyle Shwarber is going to get back in the lineup in the DH role, and IF the Cubs force a game 7; Corey Klueber would be on short rest. I will say the same thing for Klueber that I did for Clayton Kershaw, Klueber will run out of gas IF there is a Game 7 on Wednesday night. If you are a Cleveland fan, you should be ok with the Cubs win Game 6 because of Klueber looming in Game 7. I am not as optimistic for Klueber as Indian fans, but we will see. Cleveland should be rocking tonight and it just makes watching the game from home that much more fun. I love this time of year as a diehard baseball fan. It doesn’t matter that my team isn’t in it (don’t get me wrong, I’d love it!) but getting behind the fan bases and seeing the excitement surrounded around the game, just brings a smile to my face. DON’T MISS GAME 6 TONIGHT @ 8PM ON FOX!

2024 MLB Preview

  Opening Day is about 24 hours away and the Shohei Ohtani gambling story has stole all the headlines and fleeting moments of baseball conversation over the past few days, many have now forgotten about the exciting marathon ahead of us! Even with the ever-evolving Ohtani story clouding the beginning of the Los Angeles Dodgers season, that doesn’t change the fact that L.A. is still the team to beat in baseball. The Dodgers have put their chips at the center of the table, no pun intended, for 2024 to show they can raise another World Series trophy after sending upwards of a billion dollars in free agency. In division however, the surprise Arizona Diamondbacks are capitalizing on their newfound championship window with a fantastic offseason that will have them in the mix to get back to a second straight fall classic. The San Diego Padres are done shopping for superstars, sort of, following a massively disappointing season that saw them move on from one of the games generational talent...

Dan Hurley Saved College Basketball

When you think of Men’s College Basketball, the names of Wooden, Dean, Krzyzewski, Williams, Thompson, and Calipari shoot to mind right away. All the memories of the great teams from UCLA, Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, the Big East, UNLV, and even the Fab Five start to rush back. Nostalgia of a time when the sport meant something different. For all those longing for the days when great teams didn’t dissipate into the transfer portal after one disappointing year—Dan Hurley and the Connecticut Huskies are here to save the day! UConn has done something that only seven other programs have done in the history of college basketball, repeat as champions. Forget all the talk about “best team of all-time,” even though if you look at point differential (like it truly matters), this UConn team is the best team to ever play in the NCAA Tournament. This team means much more to the game of college basketball than that. Coach Hurley has given college basketball what it has been missing since the in...

Last Year the Season was one game long, it's different this year

  It took 363 days, but Jets fans finally got the debut from Aaron Rodgers they waited for. This time around that debut ended in a blowout loss on the road to the San Francisco 49’ers. Last year the Jets won the battle but lost the war following their overtime walk-off win against the Buffalo Bills. This year, the Jets hope they lost the battle but because they have Rodgers they will win the war.   Of all the ways the game could have gone last night, having the Jets defense get thoroughly dominated on the ground by a third year running back, Jordan Mason, who wasn’t a household name until last night, wasn’t on the bingo card. The trademark for Robert Saleh has been his defense. That’s what got him hired from San Francisco. The defense is what Jet fans have pointed to as a reason for optimism heading into this year with Rodgers. The defense was finally supposed to get the complimentary football they have been dying for since Robert Saleh walked in the doors at Florham Park...
