There seems to be a divide in Major League Baseball, but it’s not one that we usually notice.
It’s not about the standings – who’s trying to contend and who’s tanking into a rebuild – and it’s not about analytics – who’s going all-in and who’s using an old-school approach.
It’s about money, but it’s also not [...]
While certainly anything can happen, it feels like we’re starting to see some true separation between the top contenders and the lower teams in baseball again.
Since the luxury tax came in, we’ve seen a more even playing field when it comes to the playoffs. But now, with more and more teams looking to build through [...]
A lot was made on Monday night after Pittsburgh defeated Nashville to win the Stanley Cup about how it was the hardest trophy in sports to win.

Now, first off, I’ll state that [...]
The greatest curse in sports history ended in 2016. So what does Major League Baseball have in store for the 2017 campaign?
Seeing the Cubs win the World Series for the first time in more 100 years shows that just about anything can happen in baseball. So what’s in store for the encore? Could we see [...]

The NHL playoffs are upon us and for the first time in very long time, there are no Canadian teams remaining. Yes, despite being the country that undoubtedly cares about the sport of ice hockey the most, none of the seven teams based here could make it.
We’ve seen a lot of pieces since the final [...]
Starting in August last year and stretching into mid-October, for the first time in decades, Blue Jays fever swept over Toronto – and most of Canada as well.
I hate to say it, but I wouldn’t expect the same thing this year.
Many people are quick to forget that before becoming World Series favourites during their amazing [...]
It’s time to face a sad, sad fact about the MLB hall of fame: Nobody will ever get 100% of the vote.
After Ken Griffey Jr. was voted in with the highest percentage of votes ever at 99.3%, topping Tom Seaver’s 98.8%, that fact is very apparent.

You wouldn’t really think that the first weekend of June would be stacked with two days of some great sporting events, but that is in fact the case. With so much going, we might as well break down what to watch, since your time is well worth it. After all, it’s June – we should [...]
Opening night for the MLB season on Sunday, meaning we’re just a mere 162 games away from the playoffs – ridiculous, no?
