Let's Make a Deal: MLB Offseason Edition
The offseason means one thing: teams making deals and acquiring the best players. Spring Training is nearly two months away, so baseball will return before you know it. Whether or not Pete Alonso will be in a different uniform for the 2026 MLB regular season is uncertain and speaking of the Mets, the following blockbuster trade that was recently made caught everyone by surprise. The New York Mets traded outfielder Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers for three-time All-Star and World Series champion Marcus Semien. While many Rangers fans wished the second baseman well, others were disappointed. However, at the end of the day, a player being traded is business. It's nothing personal. In an Instagram post, Nimmo, 32, thanked Mets fans for welcoming him to the Big Apple.

Lions & Packers & Bears, Oh My!
This whole season has been insane, wild, and absolutely on all sorts of drugs. We've seen about a thousand things happen during the first 12 weeks of this campaign, and part of the madness includes the NFC North. Thankfully, this year has been better for me as a Packers fan than last year was, as while last year saw us with a good enough record to possibly win the division, there were two other teams in Thanos mode. Yikes.

The One Texas Rangers Game You Probably Forgot About
Before the Boston Red Sox won their second World Series title in four years, the Texas Rangers gave baseball fans and the entire sports world something to talk about in 2007. The evening of August 22 of that year was a date that Rangers fans remember very well. I graduated from high school nearly two months before the following game that I'm about to discuss. On that aforementioned date, the Rangers played the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards, which was part of a four-game series. Just to note that it was a game that was rescheduled from Monday, due to inclement weather and part of a doubleheader. The starting pitchers for that rescheduled game were Kason Gabbard (Texas) vs Daniel Cabrera (Baltimore). I'll give you some grace if you don't recall watching this game, but it was one of the best Rangers games I've ever watched on TV. Sure, the Rangers weren't having a good season, but this game in particular will forever be etched in the minds of die-hard Rangers fans. To avoid boring everyone and detailing every play-by-play in this story, I'll just detail bits and pieces of this historic game.

The Colorado Avalanche kicked of a four game homestand with a nationally televised victory over the Pacific-leading Anaheim Ducks. That's one down, but three home games remain in this stretch. The Avs have been on a huge roll all year, with no signs of slowing down. This Avs fan is giddy as hell. We have been playing so well entering the remainder of our homestand, but even so, a lot can happen in three games.
