Joe Girardi’s firing is a reminder that sometimes the obvious answer is the correct one. The Phillies went on an offseason spending spree, pushing their payroll north of $200 million. And now they are 22-29, sitting 12 games behind the Mets in the National League East. They haven’t just been bad, either — they’ve been … Continued
UPDATE: The Phillies just fired Joe Girardi. That’s why they call this business the first draft of history. *** Everyone on Joe Girardi Watch may be waiting for a while. The Phillies are a complete disaster. All the conditions for an in-season firing are there. But The Post’s Jon Heyman says the industry expectation is … Continued
Jim Kaat has made bad national headlines for the second time in less than a year. The Hall of Famer and ex-Yankees television analyst, for some unfathomable reason, called Yankees southpaw Nestor Cortes “Nestor the Molester” during a Twins-Tigers game on Thursday. Kaat was praising Cortes and, uh, got carried away with his riff? Kaat, … Continued

The Mets swept the Phillies and Nationals at home. They’ll now embark on a tough 10-game road trip out West.
The short answer is flexibility. The longer answer is a bit more complicated, but the Nets are deferring a first-round pick acquired from the 76ers in the James Harden trade to 2023. Instead of making the No. 23 pick in the 2022 NBA draft, the Nets will have Philadelphia’s first-rounder in 2023. What does this … Continued
The Giants and Jets have put together productive offseasons. But ESPN believes either team could’ve done something differently.
https://twitter.com/FirstTake/status/1532040110765654019 We can be honest here: The dynamic between Stephen A. Smith and Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo on ESPN First Take every week is growing a bit stale. Don’t get us wrong. It’s still tremendous television. But once you’ve heard them argue about the NBA nine or 10 times, it all begins to run together. … Continued

Tuesday brought some stunning Philadelphia sports talk radio news. Mike Missanelli, the longtime afternoon drive host at 97.5 The Fanatic, abruptly announced his immediate departure on air.

This latest sign of life from Joey Gallo? It has to be the beginning. The beginning of a turnaround that rewards the Yankees‘ faith, or of the overdue end to his failed tenure with the team. Because a club that wants to win the World Series cannot keep doing this. Gallo got his monthly double … Continued
Adam Fox has been tremendous for the Rangers during their postseason run.

The only logical explanation for Jalen Rose giving Kyrie Irving an All-NBA vote — because he certainly did not provide one — is that it was a work to get a rise out of Stephen A. Smith. And mission accomplished! https://twitter.com/_Talkin_NBA/status/1529610399204757508 Look at Mike Wilbon. He has to be wondering if inventing sports television debating … Continued
The Mets pitching staff struggled mightily against the Giants. It must remain competent until the big arms return.
Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson has issued a second apology for last weekend’s altercation with White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson. Donaldson calls the incident — he called Anderson “Jackie,” a comment White Sox manager Tony LaRussa alleged was racist — a “misunderstanding based on multiple exchanges between us over the years” and that he now … Continued

Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo is not buying what Josh Donaldson is selling. The WFAN legend ripped the third baseman on ESPN First Take, dismissing his claims that his “Jackie” taunts toward White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson were some sort of inside joke referencing a 2019 interview when Anderson compared himself to Jackie Robinson. Anderson has … Continued
The Yankees have actual things to complain about now. Real things, too. Not just kvetching about Joey Gallo and calling into WFAN to propose catcher trades. The Yankees have injuries. And COVID-19. And potential clubhouse strife. And, perhaps most importantly, an upcoming road trip to their top nemesis. Let’s start there. This torrid start – … Continued
The Rangers got exactly what they needed. Madison Square Garden was a towering inferno in Games 3 and 4, and a two-game hole is now 2-all.
