The Chicago White Sox can breathe. They bought themselves 24 more hours of not having the worst record in modern MLB history. Really, it was the Los Angeles Angels who gifted it. Their partners in misery suffered a 3-2 loss that kept the White Sox from picking up loss no. 121. With a record of […]

The final days of the Oakland Athletics have begun with a series against their division-rival Texas Rangers. The A’s took the first game in walk-off fashion.

The Philadelphia 76ers have arguably the best trio in the NBA with Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George. A trifecta of stars is obviously nice to have but how much does that truly matter?

Nick Sirianni’s seat is heating up.

The Chicago White Sox are writing the worst chapter of their franchise history in 2024.

Owner Jerry Reinsdorf has run the White Sox into the ground. His […]

The Chicago Bears are 1-1 to start the Caleb Williams era but its eponymous star has not set the world on fire like many hoped he would. Even with the issues on the offensive line, the first overall pick — and the offense he has been placed into — has left viewers wanting more. There’s […]

Here come the Detroit Tigers! After languishing below .500 for much of the summer, the Tigers have won 20 of their last 30 games.

The Kansas City Chiefs are 2-0 to begin the 2024 NFL season, as expected. But what has been a surprise so far is the lack of production from Travis Kelce, who ranks fifth on the team in receiving yards and hasn’t scored a touchdown. Rashee Rice and even Xavier Worthy have made more of a […]

Although the Baltimore Orioles are not in serious danger of missing out on the postseason, they haven’t been this far out of the American League East lead since June.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have won their first two games in the 2024 season with Justin Fields under center.

Paul Skenes is everything the Pittsburgh Pirates hoped he would be — and more. The 22-year-old is an ace pitcher from the jump, dominating opposing lineups and making history along the way.
