Prior to Opening Day of the 2023 regular season, there were high hopes for both the Mets and Yankees. And not just for returning to the postseason. There were expectations of making a deep October run toward a World Series title. Heck, even Baseball Prospectus liked the idea of a Subway Series in the Fall … Continued
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman is in a bit of a slump in recent years regarding big midseason trades. The most recent one took place at the 2022 trade deadline. New York acquired Frankie Montas from the Oakland Athletics. His time on the mound in 2022 went terribly, and it’s only gotten worse from there. … Continued
Star Jets running back Breece Hall seemed unhappy with his lack of usage in Sunday’s loss to the Cowboys.
Well, that escalated quickly. We went from lamenting over another no-show from the Giants to watching some happy history (for a change). Big Blue entered halftime staring at a 20-0 deficit. They hadn’t scored any points in their first six quarters of the year and had been outscored 60-0. It was the first time a … Continued
Even with Aaron Rodgers being lost for an extended period of time, there was reason for optimism for Jets fans heading into a Week 2 road matchup vs. the Dallas Cowboys. After all, quarterback Zach Wilson helped Gang Green beat the Bills in Week 1, right? Unfortunately, Wilson and Co. couldn’t overcome the Cowboys’ defense … Continued
Daniel Jones and the Giants pulled off a 21-point comeback and defeated the Arizona Cardinals for their first win of the year.
There was nothing nice to say about the Giants’ Week 1 loss at MetLife Stadium vs. the Cowboys. That’ll happen when you lose 40-0 and fit a whole season’s worth of futility into four quarters of football. It couldn’t get any worse during their Week 2 matchup in Arizona against the Cardinals, right? Right?! Unfortunately, … Continued
The Jets are hoping to remain undefeated during the 2023 season. Their Week 2 assignment won’t be an easy one. Zach Wilson and Co. are down in Dallas to face the Cowboys after they manhandled the Giants. Gang Green could use a little extra support. It looks like they’re getting it, with a traveling contingent … Continued
Yankees rookie Anthony Volpe continued his second-half power showcase while flashing the clutch bat on Sunday. Facing Pirates righty Andre Jackson in the seventh inning, Volpe launched a game-tying solo shot into the deepest part of PNC Park. It was Volpe’s 21st home run of the season. Statcast measured it at 417 feet and 104.1 … Continued
Giants left tackle Andrew Thomas is dealing with a hamstring injury and isn’t expected to play vs. the Cardinals Sunday.

The Jets may have a big decision to make involving Zach Wilson if the now-starting quarterback has an impressive season.
The Jets’ season took a quick and dramatic turn on Monday night. Four plays into his team debut, quarterback Aaron Rodgers exited with what ended up being a torn Achilles tendon. Instead of trying to lead Gang Green to the promised land in 2023, his season was over shortly after it started. Or is that … Continued
Being a diehard sports fan can lead you to do things that someone from the outside looking in could never imagine. I mean, there were Giants fans still at MetLife Stadium at the end of New York’s 40-0 Week 1 loss to Dallas. But there are certain lines that just should never be crossed. Creating … Continued
Brett Baty knew 2023 was going to be an important year. After the Carlos Correa saga ended with him re-signing with the Minnesota Twins, the path was there for Baty to show the Mets he could be their long-term solution at third base. New York was secretly hoping that’d happen, too. It became less of … Continued
It’s déjà vu all over again, folks. Following an offseason where we fantasized about Aaron Rodgers leading the Jets to the promised land, we’re brought back to reality. And that reality is Zach Wilson being under center again as the team’s starter. Gang Green fought through the shocking disappointment of losing Rodgers after four snaps … Continued
Everything was set up for the Giants to make a statement in Week 1. Not only did they have an opportunity to play the Cowboys at home, but they could show everyone they were for real under the bright lights of Sunday Night Football. Only the opposite happened. Big Blue got completely embarrassed, losing 40-0. … Continued
Before the wheels fell off for the Yankees this year, they were actually in a position to buy prior to the August 1st trade deadline. General manager Brian Cashman did just about nothing to supplement the roster. But after hearing about their rumored trade discussions with the Red Sox, maybe it was a good thing. … Continued
The Yankees entered the 2023 season with championship aspirations. After all, they had just won 99 games, the AL East, and reached the ALCS the year prior. New York also brought back Aaron Judge and signed Carlos Rodon to big-money deals. But everything has crashed and burned. Hal Steinbrenner said he wanted answers, and it … Continued
The Mets and Yankees are doing opposite things this weekend, but they’re also kind of similar. Manager Buck Showalter’s club will be finishing off a homestand at Citi Field. Meanwhile, Aaron Boone’s squad will be completing a road trip. Each New York team is set to face a team from the National League Central, though. … Continued

This offer comes with $100 in bonus bets that will be available at launch, as well as an NFL Sunday Ticket discount you can activate now. You … Continued
The big news regarding the Mets this week has nothing to do with what’s happened on the diamond, but rather in the front office. David Stearns is set to be the organization’s first-ever President of Baseball Operations. According to SNY’s Andy Martino, Stearns’ start date with the Mets is October 2nd. Sides agreed to a … Continued
Star Yankees youngster Jasson Dominguez will have Tommy John surgery on his torn right elbow ligament on Wednesday, reports Chris Kirschner of The Athletic. Manager Aaron Boone added that Dominguez’s expected recovery time is 9-10 months. That would put him back in the lineup in June or July. SNY’s Andy Martino had reported Dominguez was … Continued
In the span of just a week, a lot has changed regarding the Jets. Instead of being viewed as Super Bowl contenders with Aaron Rodgers under center, they’re back to a familiar face with quarterback Zach Wilson. Don’t say that to ESPN NFL analyst, Randy Moss, though. The former wide receiver and Pro Football Hall … Continued
The 2023 season hasn’t included a ton of bright spots for the Mets. One of the more consistent ones — especially over the past few months — has been rookie starting pitcher, Kodai Senga. As New York began the year in Port St. Lucie for spring training, Senga was the biggest wild card of the … Continued
Top Yankees prospect Jasson Dominguez wasn’t in the big leagues for long before hitting the injured list. But, man — he made a huge impact in a short period of time. Instead of watching him finish the year in the Bronx, though, he’s preparing to get his torn UCL repaired. You’re telling us we got … Continued
The Mets took their second straight game vs. the Diamondbacks on Wednesday night at Citi Field. New York beat Arizona by a score of 7-1. However, quite a few also believe there was another victory before the game even started. It involves the Texas Rangers, Luisangel Acuña, and Max Scherzer. Since getting traded to Texas, … Continued
Once rosters expanded on September 1st, the Mets made a long overdue decision by promoting top prospect Ronny Mauricio. The sample size is small, but his performance thus far in the big leagues shows New York should’ve called him up when there was still something to play for this season. Mauricio collected another memorable moment … Continued
How Zach Wilson performs this season could determine how the Jets compete in the AFC, and also the future of this current regime.
Back in May, I argued that Gleyber Torres’ defensive miscues and streaky hitting were enough that the Yankees should move on from him. Today, I think extending him this offseason should be one of the team’s top priorities. In fact, maybe it should be the priority — and not to sign yet another free-agent veteran like … Continued
As the Jets prepare for a Week 2 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, we’re still feeling the ramifications of Aaron Rodgers’ season-ending injury. It means we’ll get a healthy dose of Zach Wilson under center again. However, the Jets will at least be holding onto their first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Rodgers’ future … Continued
After an offseason of anticipation, sitting down to watch the Giants get their butts whooped by the Dallas Cowboys felt like the letdown of the century. It could’ve been worse, though. You could’ve been at MetLife Stadium to watch it in person. There were plenty of Big Blue fans in East Rutherford to witness the … Continued
The Yankees aren’t playing for a ton these days. However, with a four-game set in Boston against the Red Sox, they can get themselves out of the AL East basement. Carlos Rodon and Co. swept a doubleheader on Tuesday. That pulled them back over .500 (73-72) and into a tie with Boston for fourth place. … Continued
Is is too much to ask for the greatest city in the world to have credible sports talk hosts? Michael Kay’s ass is back in the jackpot. The ESPN Radio New York yakker apologized Tuesday after claiming Monday that Giants coach Brian Daboll threw a “huge party” the night before Big Blue got demolished by … Continued
The star Cowboys outside linebacker did not like the Giants’ decision to keep Daniel Jones on the field during a blowout.
It’s not very often that people from Philadelphia and New York (and New Jersey) agree on something. But when it comes to criticizing MetLife Stadium and the turf issue that’s plagued players in recent years, everyone can agree it sucks. Except for the owners, I guess. Eagles cornerback Darius Slay was asked about the season-ending … Continued
Jasson Dominguez quickly captured the hearts of Yankees fans with his play on the field. Unfortunately, we won’t see him in the big leagues again for an extended period of time after a UCL tear. But with his door temporarily closing, it opens an opportunity for Estevan Florial. Florial was recalled from Triple-A on Monday … Continued
When Steve Cohen completed his purchase of the Mets in November 2020, he made multiple things clear. One was that he wanted to hire a President of Baseball Operations. After two-plus years of swings and misses, Cohen is finally hiring his preferred choice: former Milwaukee Brewers general manager, David Stearns. The Mets are hiring David … Continued
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is officially done for the year because of a torn Achilles suffered on Monday Night Football. That’s enough to make any Jets fan depressed despite a thrilling Week 1 win over the Bills in overtime. However, I have a feeling some of them will crack a smile over a Wisconsin bar’s “Jets lose, … Continued
When the Yankees used Old Timers Day to celebrate the 1998 championship team this past weekend, former team captain and star shortstop Derek Jeter got the biggest ovation of them all. However, longtime Jeter nemesis and Yankees general manager Brian Cashman did not appear to be in attendance. This was shocking considering the 1998 season … Continued
There’s no way around it right now. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers going down with what looks like a season-ending ruptured Achilles after just four snaps absolutely sucks. Before the Jets stormed back for a dramatic overtime win over the Buffalo Bills, the signal-caller’s injury took the wind out of everyone’s sails. As we sit here on … Continued
The Jets say Zach Wilson is their guy after Aaron Rodgers’ devastating injury. Mike Francesa thinks that would be a colossal mistake. The WFAN legend believes Gang Green cannot thrive with Wilson at quarterback if Rodgers is out for the season with an Achilles injury as expected. And that they need to make a move … Continued
Let’s think back to how things were going a week ago. The NFL regular season hadn’t kicked off yet. Giants fans couldn’t wait to see the Cowboys get dominated on Sunday Night Football. Meanwhile, Jets fans were excited to watch Aaron Rodgers take the field in a game that mattered. Fast-forward back to the present … Continued
As we wake up in the aftermath of Week 1, the Jets are 1-0. They showed a lot more fight than the Giants did at MetLife Stadium on Sunday night. But even with a victory, many Jets fans feel as though they’ve lost with the likely news that Aaron Rodgers’ season is over after just … Continued
The Jets are praying for an Aaron Rodgers miracle right now. But things do not look, or feel, promising. BREAKING: #Jets HC Robert Saleh says that they’re expecting an MRI to confirm a ruptured Achilles for Aaron Rodgers — Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) September 12, 2023 Gang Green will not know for sure until Rodgers has … Continued
What a moment for Xavier Gipson in his first NFL game 🙌 @Gipson22X #BUFvsNYJ pic.twitter.com/FUQNhOFHkH — NFL (@NFL) September 12, 2023 We don’t want to say it is the biggest Jets win since Super Bowl III. And it probably is not. But damn, it sure feels like it. MORE ON ESNY: • Mike Francesa brings … Continued
Same old Jets. Future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers was injured four snaps into his much-anticipated Gang Green debut. And it did not look good. Rodgers was helped off the field and into the sideline medical tent. He then left the field in a cart and had a walking boot placed on his left … Continued
