Thursday, May 1
Pro baseball, Chattanooga at Mississippi (7:05 p.m., Pearl, 1590 AM): Maybe the M-Braves can turn things around in the friendly confines of the TeePee.
Friday, May 2
College baseball, Mississippi College vs. McMurry in ASC Tournament (7 p.m., Abilene, Texas): The Choctaws play their first game in the championship round of the league tournament. … Pro baseball, Chattanooga at Mississippi (7:05 p.m., Pearl, 1590 AM): Attention comic book fans. Spider-Man and Iron Man will be in the house. And there’s a game scheduled, too. … Chicago Cubs at St. Louis (7:05 p.m., WGN): The Cubs and Cardinals meet in this season’s first installment of MLB’s greatest rivalry.
Saturday, May 3
College baseball, Jackson State at Alcorn State (1 p.m., Lorman): Things are always heated when the Tigers and Braves meet. The fact that they’re top two teams in the SWAC East only adds fuel to the fire.
Sunday, May 4
Pro baseball, Chattanooga at Mississippi (1:05 p.m., Pearl, 1590 AM): The M-Braves wrap up their homestand with the Lookouts. … Chicago Cubs at St. Louis (7 p.m., ESPN/930 AM): The Cubs and Cardinals conclude their epic weekend throwdown. It’s about time that ESPN made its way to the River City.
Monday, May 5
Pro baseball, Mississippi at West Tenn (7:05 p.m., Jackson, Tenn., 1590 AM): Hey, the M-Braves are playing in Jackson for the first time this season. Oh, wait …
Tuesday, May 6
College football, Mississippi State spring game (7:30 p.m., CSS): In case you missed it the first time, here’s a chance to see the Bulldogs scrimmage. I don’t want to spoil it for you, but State wins the game.
Wednesday, May 7
Movie, “The Pride of the Yankees” (1:15 p.m., TCM): Yes, this biopic about baseball legend Lou Gehrig does have its corny spots. But Gary Cooper is still the man, and that ending even gets to hardcases like the Doctor.
