All signs are pointing toward a sweep!

At this point, I’d throw my lot behind Arizona winning their second WS title. That should make the people of the desert state known for having the biggest hot potato sports team in the state a bit happier. (Coyotes)

Rangers won 6-5 in 11 Innings with walk-off Home Run last night in Game 1 of the 2023 World Series Championship.

Game 2 tomorrow night at 7:00 PM CST.

Good morning. Did any of you see this FUCK up from Fox News Channel who erroneously included Chicago White Sox legend Frank Thomas in the 2023 In Memoriam montages this morning?
