For 85 minutes this looked like one of those evenly matched knockout battles that could have gone either way. Then the clock ticked toward the 86th minute and football reminded everyone of a simple truth — when you have Erling Haaland on your team, the game is never quite over. Norway weren’t even playing particularly…
Call-Up Day. Triple. Game-Changer. In That Order. Some guys take weeks to find their footing in the big leagues. Cameron Cauley needed seven innings. Recalled from Triple-A Round Rock, thrown straight into the lineup against Cleveland, and by the time the night was over, he’d already scored the go-ahead run in a game that…
Some players come through a programme, do their thing, and quietly fade into the highlight reels of people’s memories. Nick Bolton was never going to be one of those players. Three years tearing through SEC offences in Columbia, a leap straight into the NFL, and now — finally, deservedly — a place in Mizzou Athletics…
Bottom of the ninth. Two outs. A season that has demanded more late inning drama than any Cubs fan ever signed up for. And once again, Chicago found a way. Seiya Suzuki delivered a two out RBI single Monday night that lifted the Cubs to a thrilling 3-2 win over the visiting San Diego…
Jeff Passan is one of the most respected baseball insiders on the planet. He breaks trades, reports contracts, and generally operates with the kind of measured professionalism you’d expect from someone at ESPN.

What Happened Out There It was…
It’s not the splashy deadline move Cubs fans are desperately waiting for. Nobody’s printing a jersey. Nobody’s losing their mind on Twitter. But quietly, on a Monday afternoon ahead of a road trip to New York, Chicago dipped into the bargain bin and pulled out a name worth keeping an eye on — if…
745 games. Over 3,000 plate appearances. Eight years grinding through Minor League ballparks most fans have never heard of. And on Friday afternoon at Wrigley Field, Justin Dean finally got the moment he’d been chasing his entire adult life. A three run triple. A lost helmet rounding second. A standing ovation from a crowd…
A 2-0 win over Australia on Friday night in Seattle. A perfect record through the group stage. And now, thanks to Paraguay’s 1-0 win over Turkey, the United States have officially clinched top spot in Group D. The road to potential World Cup glory is mapped out. And right now it’s looking brighter than American…
Two separate ten game winning streaks. And yet the Chicago Cubs sit at 39-36, third in the NL Central, eight games back of the division lead.
