After Thursday’s postponed game against Cleveland, the White Sox had a 15-14 record, but the team had just started to get hot. The Sox had won seven of eight games as they looked ahead to a four-game set with the best team in the American League, the Yankees.  The series against New York stood as a significant early-season test for …

Consistent poor play has put the Cubs’ 2022 season in jeopardy only one month into the season. Through 26 games, the Cubs sit at 9-17 and fourth in the NL Central.

With each passing day, I get more and more pessimistic that we are going to miss games. The season is at risk. The MLB started this lockout on December 2nd, 2021, a day after …
