Cubs hit .129 against San Diego, so everybody sucked. But PCA and Alex Bregman -- two of the NL's best hitters in the second half of the season -- went a combined 0 for 15 with 8 Ks.

Phillies even the series on the always exciting walkoff ABS challenge! A couple late bombs from Schwarbs and Harper didn't hurt ...

She's down to 3 -- and probably not surprisingly, we ain't one of them. Duke, UNC and Vandy ... https://www.pilotonline.com/2026/09/29/princess-anne-girls-basketball-star-micah-ojo-narrows-recruiting-list-to-three/

Geeze -- a simple birthday wish to ol' Fisch sure went off the rails ...

And away we go ... Houston finishes 81-81, so MLB avoids sending a team with a losing record over a 162-game season to the postseason for the first time. One guy's random picks AL wildcard White Sox over Astros Yankees over Red Sox ALDS White Sox over Guardians Yankees over Rays ALCS Yankees over White Sox NL wildcard Phillies over Braves Padres over Cubs (as a Northsiders fan of 50-plus years, that pains me to say) NLDS Dodgers over Phillies Brewers over Padres NLCS Dodgers over Brewers World Series Dodgers over Yankees Goin' with the champs until someone knocks them off!

AP dropped us to No. 6. Jumped by Miami and O$U.

Dropped a spot in the coaches poll. Miami jumped us.

Little Mendoza and Ga. Tech up 20-10 at halftime at Stanford.

At halftime of SC-Oregon, Chris Simms just said Moore slid late and he has a soft spot for defenders because they're sometimes put into a no-win situation as far as hitting QBs ... I have a feeling that won't go over well in the wide world of social media.

Happy 79th, Fisch!

Last night in the IU locker room after Turbo got hurt ...

Justin Verlander's daughter goes to the mound to take him out of his final MLB game. He's from Virginia and pitched at Old Dominion -- about 15 minutes from where I live. Very sweet way to end a first-ballot Hall of Fame career.

"Winning. It's like, better than losing." -- Nuke LaLoosh It was an ugly win, but it was a win. And what do you do after a win? You sing!

Beebe is a monster!

Why do they keep prattling on about how Cigs didn't pursue Chiles in the transfer portal? Why would he have? He wasn't very good last season.

They're doing all this without burning timeouts. Need a stop.

Beautiful play call there.

If the ruling is upheld, why doesn't NW get charged with a timeout?

What are they reviewing? Where he went out?

No excuse for defensive holding, but if we could wrap Chiles up, that wouldn't have happened. Cannot keep letting him get away.

And we gave them a first down via penalty.

That 3rd and 13 scramble from deep in NW territory really changed the tone of this game. They couldn't do anything until then. We haven't been able to stop them since then.

HOW. DO. YOU. LET. HIM. CATCH. THAT.

Beebe!
