25 November 2023: Fiorentina, now firmly established as a top-half club in Serie A, come to Milan looking for a signature win while the rossoneri would simply settle for putting two wins back-to-back. It won't be a first-choice side for Milan, with both Leao and Giroud missing from the attack, so where will the goals come from? Pulisic, Reijnders and Chukwueze will be expected to make up the slack . . .
AC Milan 2023/24 replay - 12a giornata
11 November 2023: Getting away from the jeers that saw them off the pitch at the Giuseppe Meazza last weekend may be a blessing in disguise. While away successes are always hard-won in Serie A, a trip to Puglia to face Lecce (who just avoided banishment back to Serie B in their first year back in the top flight last season) might provide Milan a chance to both reset and accumulate some points . . .
World Series Time Machine: 1980
An eight-day strike during Spring Training may have been an ominous portent of things soon to come, but the 1980 season also saw three tight divisional races, George Brett flirt with .400 into the schedule's final two weeks and Nolan Ryan notch his 3000th career strikeout. As the season comes to its conclusion, the American League Champion Kansas City Royals (97-65) face off (again) against the National League Champion Philadelphia Phillies (91-71) . . .

Hang on tight for the era of Beanie Babies, Boy Bands and Britney - yup, the World Series Time Machine is headed back to the 1990s! 1990, to be exact - the final year to feature a team wearing a pullover uniform jersey - as the Bash Brothers and the American League Champion Oakland Athletics (103-59) face off (again) against the Nasty Boys and the National League Champion Cincinnati Reds (91-71) . . .
AC Milan 2023/24 replay - 11a giornata
4 November 2023: A poor showing in Naples last week, and now what seems to be an annual banana skin as Udinese come calling at the San Siro. Milan have only won one of the last five meetings between the clubs, and they aren't exactly firing on all cylinders at the moment . . . .
World Series Time Machine: 1956
For our next stop on the World Series Time Machine, we spin the dial and jump back three-quarters of a century to 1956. The last of four Yankee-Dodger Series in a five-year span. First-time MVP The Mick versus the swan song of the Boys of Summer, as the American League Champion New York Yankees (97-57) face off (again) against the National League Champion Brooklyn Dodgers (93-61) . . .
World Series Time Machine: 2023
For our first stop on the World Series Time Machine, we go easy on the hardware and simply dial it back a year - for the third time in history, both teams reached the Fall Classic via the Wild Card route as the American League Champion Texas Rangers (90-72) will face off (again) against the National League Champion Arizona Diamondbacks (84-78) . . .
