Phillies' Postseason Streak Continues with Division Title
You know, a small thing that fascinates me: I do love that out of all of the MLB teams who wear red, it's the Philadelphia Phillies who use the "Hunt for Red October" title to describe their postseason push. I think they're the only "red" team who do this. I want to say I remember the Angels doing this during their 2002 run, but I don't think so. So yeah, the Phillies are on quite a streak, and to think, it all started with the team firing Joe Girardi during the middle of the 2022 season.

NFL Week 3 Recap: Hindsight is 20/20...Unless You're Jerry Jones
Oh, Dallas Cowboys. Why are you...well...you? So the Cowboys remained at home for the second straight game, and this time, they welcomed a Baltimore Ravens team who desperately needed a win. I figured that the Ravens would have a tough time with the Cowboys, but at halftime, Baltimore was up 21-6. It ended up becoming a 28-6 lead later on. Though we would see the Cowboys make a big time comeback--19 unanswered points--but it was not enough. The Ravens won, 28-25, their first win of the season. While the Ravens' season was saved, the Cowboys were embarrassed again at home. They've given up 120 points in their last three home games (dating back to last year's playoffs), but the glaring problem was Dallas' running game: it didn't exist.

Improbable and Impossible: A Look at the 1988 Los Angeles Dodgers
You know, a lot of crazy shit in sports happened in the 1980s. The Islanders and Oilers dynasties, the rise of the San Francisco 49ers, the NBA hit the state of Florida, the Raiders moving to Los Angeles--and later winning the Super Bowl. You name it, it's happened. Baseball was no different. I did mention the Kansas City Royals and the New York Mets championship runs in previous stories, and here, I want to discuss that memorable run by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1988.

MLB Pennant Race 2024: Seven Days and Six Nights
Well, baseball fans, this is it. We have reached the final week of the 2024 MLB season. Baseball, for over a century, has always been a marathon, but it's now about to end. We have just seven days left in the regular season, but there is still quite a bit to piece together.

A Look at the Recent Wave of Women's Wrestling Factions
I love women's wrestling with a passion, and I have been really happy that it has continued to evolve in recent years. However, while we have seen more screen time for the women, longer matches, better angles, and epic elevation, the development still didn't include a number of actual factions. We have seen alliances, but I'm talking about factions. It takes at least three to make a faction (alternately known as a stable).

Guardians of the AL Central Galaxy
For the Cleveland Guardians, the 2023 season did not go well. 2022 saw them finish first in the American League Central, and they would fall one win short of playing for the pennant. 2022 was also the team's first year playing as the Guardians, and while it looked like they would dominate the Central every year, 2023 saw them take a bit of a nose dive. A third place finish and 76 wins, finishing 11 games behind the Twins in the division.

Number One Hit
It was a typical night in the career of the woman known to many as "IMAX," a pop diva whose talent and singing chops match her popularity. She had just given yet another performance in front of a huge crowd, performing four of her biggest hits and leaving to a big applause and chants of her name. All the while, IMAX tearfully waved to her immense adoring public, showing appreciation to her many fans.

CFL Week 15 Recap: Just What the Doctor Ordered
The final one-third of the 2024 CFL season got underway in Vancouver, the home of the upcoming 111th Grey Cup. The Toronto Argonauts have designs on making that trip to Vancouver their first of two this season, but we have had major problems lately. My last recap saw me absolutely rant about the Argos' struggles, as well as Chad Kelly being back so soon. Even so, I was on the optimistic side when it came to the Argos' trip to Vancouver to face the BC Lions.

Top Scoring Players on Fantasy Football (Week 2)
Week 2 was a tad better for me than Week 1 was in Fantasy Football. After winning three of my eight matchups on Week 1, Week 2 saw me win half of my matchups, and two of my teams are 2-0. Quite a few key fantasy performances took place during Week 2, and they really made some owners very pleased. Well, unless they were playing against them, then they were probably tearing their hair out and saying that their season was over.

Brewers Take NL Central and Become 1st to Clinch in 2024
It's always a good feeling to be the first team in your league to clinch a spot in the playoffs, because that's one step in a multi-layered goal: winning a championship. In the case of the 2024 MLB season, that honor went to the Milwaukee Brewers, who had a stranglehold on the National League Central for months. The Brewers had their first opportunity to clinch the division on Tuesday, needing a win and a Chicago Cubs loss. A funny thing: the Cubs did lose at home to the lowly Oakland Athletics, but unfortunately, the Brewers fell to the Philadelphia Phillies.

Villainess Review: Dee Baxter (The Wayans Bros.)
Who remembers The WB? The original WB Network? Hard to believe that it's been almost 30 years since that network launched, and would go on to become this big thing--keeping up with what was now the Big Four networks (CBS, NBC, ABC, and Fox). The whole thing started in early 1995, and it ended up leading to the launch of Kids' WB that fall (that's another story). The network had their trademark shows, and among their earliest hits was The Wayans Bros., the memorable sitcom that officially put Shawn and Marlon Wayans on the spotlight.

NFL Week 2 Recap: Where There's a Willis, There's a Way
It is not a good time for sports fans in Baltimore right now. The Orioles continue to slip behind the New York Yankees in the American League East, and while they are hanging to the #1 Wild Card position in the American League, they would rather have home field in a Division Series instead of the Wild Card Series. But don't worry, Baltimore. After all, there's still the Ravens, right?
