Dylan Bundy Is Emerging as the Ace of the Orioles Rotation
It’s been a long, winding road for Dylan Bundy. Snagged up fourth overall in the 2011 draft out of an Oklahoma high school, it didn’t take long for Bundy to reach the big leagues. He would make his Major League debut just over a year later for Baltimore. Since 2012, Bundy has had numerous injuries: Tommy John, lat strains, shoulder problems, and elbow soreness.

Analyzing Madison Bumgarner’s Swing: What Makes Him Such a Threat at the Plate?
One of the best pitchers to ever toe the rubber is also a serious power threat at the plate. MadBum can do it all. When you think of Madison Bumgarner, you usually think of lights out performances on the mound. Bumgarner is absolutely filthy with a three quarters arm slot and a wipeout slider. Arguably one of the best pitchers in the bigs, MadBum has proven he can also hit.

Will Carmelo Leave the Knicks? Where to Next?
The NBA Playoffs are underway and look as though they may live up to the hype, not missing one single exciting beat along the way. The playoffs are however missing their *usual* representative from New York. With both the Brooklyn Nets and the New York Knickerbockers enduring down years, which has come to be something of the norm for these franchises. “Big time” hoops are done in the Big Apple until next season. There is a saving grace for the Brooklyn Nets, however — at least this year, they are not the team with the most dysfunction heading into next year’s preparation.

Can the Penguins Repeat?
The Pittsburgh Penguins entered the 2016–17 season as defending Stanley Cup champions and had 12–1 odds to repeat, the fourth best chance in the league according to Bovada. After opening up a 3–1 game lead on the Columbus Blue Jackets, those odds have skyrocketed to 15–4 favorites via VegasInsider. The NHL hasn’t seen a repeat champion since the Detroit Red Wings in 1998. Now that they’ve advanced to the second round, can the Penguins be the first since then and defend their title?

Pay For Your Own Damn Stadium
In 2017, with much fanfare, pomp, and circumstance, no fewer than three major league Atlanta sports teams will receive new stadiums. The Atlanta Braves will move north from Turner field into SunTrust Park, and the Falcons and the newly-formed Atlanta United FC will move into the aperture-esque Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The WBC Was Just as Successful as It Needed to Be
The confetti has been swept up, the uniforms are in the wash, and the trophy is in storage. Yes, it’s true — the World Baseball Classic has finally wrapped up. It’s been a month of big story lines — from team Israel making a surprise run into the second round to Puerto Rico’s blondes-have-more-fun mentality causing the entire island to run out of blonde hair dye. And who could forget the USA taking their first crown following a stellar performance by Marcus Stroman?

Betrayal, Thy Name Is Dottie
During the battle for America’s independence, when George Washington’s army ate horse meat and Betsy Ross sewed up the continental army’s guns (or something,) general Benedict Arnold held clandestine meetings with British leader Sir Henry Clinton (EMAILS! sorry, force of habit) which resulted in the surrender of Arnold’s forces at West Point.
