We won a bet! I almost forgot what that felt like. Shane McClahanan looked fully rested instead of returning from an injury and held the Rangers scoreless for most of the game before a two-run home run tied it up. Credit to Dane Dunning for keeping us in the game; he looked shaky early but really settled in. The Rangers had multiple chances with…

After a successful summer league for Ausar Thompson, the Detroit Pistons have to feel more comfortable with how free agency has gone. Thompson averaged 13.5 points, ten rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.8 blocks per game. He stuffed the stat sheet with increase in efficiency each game thanks to a'no plays off' type mentality. Many observers…

The weekend wasn't all that fun. We lost 1.5 units over Saturday and Sunday on some really tough beats. That's just been how the season has been for us, so no need to dwell on it. Today, I have one pick for the limited slate, but I do have a lottery entry on PrizePicks with four props that I really do like. You can pick and choose your favorites or…

By Michaela Moricova Wednesday's card at Royal Ascot offered only one G1, but no horse racing fan could have been disappointed by how the Prince of Wales's Stakes panned out. Mostahdaf absolutely smashed the star-packed field and delivered the first win for Thady & John Gosden of this year's festival. Moreover, Frankie Dettori also got off the mark…

I read the board as wrong yesterday. The board was filled with many matchups that felt too good to be true, but they were just the right plays. Challenging day yesterday between the loss on Twins vs. Red Sox and the PrizePicks entries, but the great part about baseball is there is always another day. Let's make it back with one game pick on a…

Levi Weaver brings you his latest edition of "Very Serious Journalism" and asks if an 8-pitch immaculate inning is possible. In Evan Grant's latest roster projection he writes that the team may bring along Leody Taveras even with the oblique stuff if it means protecting some pitchers. Grant also has a post on how for the 2023 Texas Rangers, it's…

The Texas Rangers had quite the off-season as they continued to do what they did last off-season, which is, to show everyone they mean business. They are showing everyone that they are tired of being a below-average team, and are ready to compete. One move they made before heading into 2023, blew most people away. And it should have, I mean no one…

The Rangers' equipment trucks left North Texas for Arizona just after Corby Davidson's bus did on Friday. A Super Bowl awaits Corby. Most people around here will be satisfied with a mere playoff race for the baseball team. It's been a while. It's also been a while since Rangers fans were justified in anticipating a spring training this much. To be…

Grant White Every year, the dog days of summer are punctuated by the MLB All-Star Game. Although the mid-summer classic interrupts the year-round entertainment we've come to expect from the Big Four, that blow is softened by the Home Run Derby the night before the game. There is no defensive play, and batters choose their respective pitchers,…

The Rangers and Willie Calhoun disagree on how Calhoun should swing the bat. We know this because their discord went public Sunday. Both sides presented their positions after Texas optioned Calhoun to Triple-A Round Rock following the team's home win over Atlanta. The outfielder/DH left Arlington after posting a.136/.283/.273 slash line and one…

It's been two years since the Pistons came to the decision to change course with their trade of Andre Drummond. That's no more than the mid-point of a typical rebuild, one that so far has seen Troy Weaver pluck Jerami Grant in free agency and land Cade Cunningham with the first overall No. 1 pick to bless the franchise in 51 years. Nothing derails…

Michigan football's 2023 season is less than three weeks away and this past weekend, the Wolverines held their first scrimmage during fall camp. Like all practices, it was closed to outsiders - including media - but even though the game-simulating action took place behind closed doors, projections can be made. For the past two weeks, players and…
