If you’re the Tampa Bay Rays, you have to view the Milwaukee Brewers like they are some sort of zombie movie. They cannot be killed. Tampa Bay jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning, started by an uncharacteristic Brewers error and capped off by a two-run homer […]
If you’re a Brewers fan, your nails have been chewed down to the nubs and your Pepto-Bismol has been drained down to the last drop. Milwaukee has a closer who is on tilt. Trevor Megill has 30 saves in 2026, and only three blown saves. And he came into last […]
Game 1 of the World Series is tonight in Milwaukee. The Brewers have had eight days off by virtue of sweeping the Dodgers, having last played on October 15. Jacob Misiorowski starts for Milwaukee, well rested and ready to fire his 104-miles-per-hour fastball at Rays hitters. The Rays knocked off […]
Is it World Series yet? No. Not until tomorrow. One thing is clear watching the playoffs that led to this point and the brand of baseball the last four teams standing play: the Rangers had no business at all even thinking they were a playoff-caliber team. Houston got swept out […]
Since neither the Rays nor the Brewers has ever won a World Series, one of these two franchises will hoist its first ever championship flag. They’ll have a parade and players will raise the trophy in victory. And there will be joy all around. It’s been a good time for fans […]

Once again, the Rays ace Drew Rassmussen is stepping up in the biggest arena. Against the Yankees in the Division Series, Rasmussen tossed a gem, taking a no-hitter into the eighth before allowing a non-eventful single in a stifling 1-0 win over New York. In Game 1 of the Championship […]
The Tampa Bay Rays won 98 games in 2026, 13 more than the Cleveland Guardians. They are the better team, by far. Often, though, the challenge with the playoffs is the better team doesn’t win, for one reason or another. In Tampa Bay’s case at least for the first three […]
Rain washed out yesterday’s Game 4 in Cleveland. It’s scheduled for today. It’s an interesting matchup, the Rays and Guardians. It’s a Tampa Bay team that has never won a World Series, and a Cleveland team that has the longest World Series championship drought, having last won in 1948. They […]
You can’t keep a good team down. It was just a matter of time before Shohei Ohtani broke out of his slump. It happened in the second inning of Game 4 of the Championship Game, with two runners on. The four-time MVP had been mired in a horrible slump, driving […]
