Las Vegas - Gonna get you ready for a little afternoon delight over in London as the Premier League kicks off the 2022/23 season. The opener finds Arsenal working its way about 12 miles South to Selhurst Park to battle Crystal Palace. If you've followed Ecks & Bacon over the years, you know that I LIVE & DIE with the Gunners.

Las Vegas - If you're sitting, get ready for some of the most RIDONKULOUS pitching numbers we have ever seen. Courtesy of Dylan Cease. It looked like 2022 was gonna be an okay year, with Cease sitting at 4-2 after an ugly start against the Red Sox on May 24. He allowed 8 hits and 7 earned runs in only 3 innings. Not sure what happened over the next four days, but lets just say that someone sprinkled MAGIC DUST on his right arm.
