Just when the Mets want to make you throw your hands in the air and give up, they find a way to pull you back in. After going just 7-19 in June, New York is set to take the field at Petco Park on Friday with a perfect 5-0 record so far in July. And … Continued
Five years ago, Luis Severino was supposed to be the next great Yankees ace. The numbers certainly supported it. The young righty posted a 2.98 ERA in 2017 at just 23 years old. He followed that with a 3.39 mark in 2018. Struggles with tipping pitches and a pair of playoff clunkers were blips on … Continued
Before the Yankees head into the All-Star break, they’ve got one more series against the Chicago Cubs. The big news is Carlos Rodon making his long-awaited team debut on Friday. But could it also be a preview of what it’d look like if Cody Bellinger called Yankee Stadium home? General manager Brian Cashman has been … Continued
The Yankees played well in half of their four-game set against the rival Orioles. A comeback win to start and then a commanding one later, everything was looking good for a series win and maybe gaining some ground in the standings. Cue a bullpen meltdown and Luis Severino hitting another rock bottom in his contract … Continued
American professional sports teams playing regular season (or exhibition) games overseas is old hat now. But Paris has never really gotten in on the act. The NBA has played regular season game there in recent years, but the NHL hasn’t been there since before World War II. And Major League Baseball and the NFL have … Continued
It’s been nearly a decade since the Mets beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2015 NLDS. That means it’s also almost been 10 years since Ruben Tejada broke his leg after Chase Utley slid into second base to break up a double play. Who was at fault for this? I guess the answer to … Continued
The Mets’ first half of 2023 has been disappointing and not what anyone was expecting after running the payroll up to record levels. Do you know who else has struggled to live up to expectations the past few months, though? The San Diego Padres. These two squads will face off in the final series before … Continued
Things haven’t exactly gone smoothly for the Yankees through the first half of the 2023 season. But, they’re still in the thick of things and will hopefully get Aaron Judge back sometime in the near future. Before the All-Star break officially hits, they’ll finish off this portion of their schedule by hosting the Chicago Cubs. … Continued
Mets star shortstop Francisco Lindor has recorded his first career five-hit game.
ChatGPT and AI tools are taking the internet world by storm. Unlike past iterations, these are a lot more accurate than they’ve ever been before. Except when we’re talking about the NFL and how passionate the Jets’ fan base is. The 33rd Team asked ChatGPT to rank NFL fan bases from most to least passionate. … Continued
The Jets’ offense must address four position battles in training camp. Let’s break down, and predict the winners of, each.
Without Aaron Judge in the lineup, the Yankees spent the majority of June struggling to score runs consistently. It’s not that they don’t have players who can’t produce, though — they just went ice cold. But when those other high-priced players do get hot, the ball goes a long way. That’s evidenced by the longest … Continued
Hitting home runs at any point of a big-league game is great. But it’s a little bit better when you slug one over the fence at a time your squad desperately needs one. Mets rookie catcher Francisco Alvarez knows plenty about that already. While he’s racked up just 210 plate appearances so far in 2023, … Continued
The Yankees and Orioles are gearing up for game three of a four-game series, so there is still time to take advantage of this FanDuel promo code offer. Bettors can cash in on a guaranteed bonus by betting on either team. New players can bet $20 to win $200 in bonus bets on the Yankees … Continued

So … Continued
The Giants shocked just about everyone last year by posting a 9-7-1 record. And they not only reached the playoffs for the first time since 2016, but they even advanced past Wild Card weekend. That yielded a four-year extension for quarterback Daniel Jones. Can he make another step forward after a career year in 2022? … Continued
The Giants’ offensive line enters 2023 with positives and negatives. While the left tackle issue is fixed, there’s a lack of true experience overall.
Hey, did you hear? The Mets are starting to remember how to win baseball games consistently again (we hope). New York beat the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday to win its third consecutive game. Francisco Alvarez had a hand in the fun thanks to a go-ahead moonshot in the seventh inning. Alvarez’s blast was significant for … Continued
You know what they say…imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor deals with his fair share of criticism (both warranted and unwarranted). But, it looks like many people love watching him play. Even Phillies fans. Well, I guess just one Phillies fan in particular. In the top of the ninth of … Continued
The Yankees are about to get a huge boost to the rotation this week, as Carlos Rodon is scheduled to make his long-awaited team debut. But when can New York start expecting outfielder Aaron Judge to get activated off the injured list, as well? The reigning AL MVP winner isn’t exactly close to returning to … Continued
John Sterling has no problem taking baseballs off the ol’ cabeza, but the football Giants are here to help as well. The Yankees’ legendary play-by-play voice received a special 85th birthday present Tuesday: A Big Blue helmet after taking a foul ball off his eye a few weeks back. The @Giants ‘ John Mara sent … Continued
The Mets are finishing off what’s been a disappointing first half of play with a six-game West Coast road trip. But after winning two straight for the first time in a couple of weeks, maybe now is the time things start turning around? Their first stop is in the desert to face the Diamondbacks. Here’s … Continued
After a six-game road trip, the Yankees returned home Monday night to begin a four-game series against the Baltimore Orioles. That meant it was time to welcome back old friend Aaron Hicks, who of course caught fire at the plate once New York cut him loose. We’ve been wondering if the Yankees were planning on … Continued
The Yankees have their work cut out for them after losing two of three to the St. Louis Cardinals. Fresh off a disappointing 5-1 loss Sunday, even more so considering Gerrit Cole started, New York now has four games at home against the rival Baltimore Orioles. In case you missed it, the Orioles are far … Continued
The Mets showed signs of life this past weekend, taking two of three from the Giants. Not that anyone should get excited, though. The less-than-Amazins have done this plenty of other times throughout this disastrous season. And it has never amounted to anything. It will likely be more of the same again, too. But … … Continued
The Mets will have just one player represent them at the All-Star Game next week in Seattle: first baseman Pete Alonso. It’s his third career selection since debuting in 2019. But with this news, all of us were wondering the same thing: does it mean he’ll do the Home Run Derby again? Hours after MLB … Continued
Let’s take a look at three position battles the Giants’ offense must resolve heading into the 2023 regular season.
The good news is that unlike last year, the Yankees didn’t spend what wound up a rain-soaked weekend at Busch Stadium getting swept. The bad news is the Bronx Bombers still lost two of three. Pitchers underperformed. The hitters, despite Aaron Judge’s continued progress, barely showed up. The only saving grace is big lefty Carlos … Continued
The Yankees have had a problem with outfield depth since last winter. While they were reportedly trying to pry Bryan Reynolds from the Pirates’ hands, it ultimately didn’t happen. But if the San Diego Padres decide to sell at the trade deadline, could Brian Cashman get another shot at landing Juan Soto? It feels a … Continued
The Jets’ offense is entering 2023 with both positives and negatives, even with a new star quarterback under center.
The Yankees had a chance on Sunday to finish off a winning road trip and register their fourth straight series win. It didn’t happen against the Cardinals, and now they’re back home for four games against the Baltimore Orioles and old friend, Aaron Hicks. Here are the probable pitching matchups at the moment. Monday at … Continued
Whenever a baseball fan stops play by making their way onto the field, it’s usually an opportunity for ballpark security to do their best Terry Tate impression. So when a fan found himself on the Citi Field warning track during ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball telecast of Mets-Giants, it was easy to think he was about … Continued
The summer is all about baseball and these Yankees betting promos are raising the stakes on the games today.

New players can start playing with these Yankees betting promos and lay claim to bonus bets, no-sweat bets, and … Continued
When it comes to reeling in Shohei Ohtani via free agency, the Mets’ chances have always seemed long. With how things have transpired in 2023, those chances look as bleak as they’ve ever been. And no, it’s not just because they look more like trade-deadline sellers than anything else. That’s part of it, though. Team … Continued
Mike Francesa is not trying to take money out of the working man’s pocket any way that he can. The WFAN legend — likely spurred by nemesis Craig Carton’s on-air troll — set the record straight about his scheduled appearance at a sports card convention in September at the Jersey Shore. And heavy emphasis on … Continued
UPDATE: Francesa has canceled his appearance. The big guy does not take money for his scribble. *** It’s not FrancesaCon, but the masses can pilgrimage to press the flesh with WFAN legend Mike Francesa once again.

Before Max Scherzer took the mound for the Mets at Citi Field on Thursday night, his name was in the news earlier this week. It was mostly because of a report from MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo. Here’s what he said about one possible trade deadline scenario for New York: Start with Scherzer — no stranger to … Continued
Let’s have a conversation about the Yankees’ outfield. And no, this is not an Aaron Judge piece, nor a diatribe about trading Giancarlo Stanton. Rather, I want to talk about what this Yankees outfield could look like down the road. Not just Judge, but the other two spots in left and center as well. There’s … Continued
It has always felt a tad lazy to say someone is complicated. It is kind of a prerequisite for being a person, you know? But in this instance, it is not lazy. It is apt. Craig Carton is a complicated guy. Or, he is at least a complicated guy to define. But it is that … Continued
Last season, Yankees-Cardinals was supposed to be a classic matchup between MLB’s two most successful franchises. Instead, St. Louis pulled off an unceremonious sweep and sent the Bronx Bombers off the rails. Losing three games at Busch Stadium extended a losing streak to five games as New York went 10-18 in August. Worse yet, each … Continued
It took losing to the MLB-worst Athletics on Tuesday for the Yankees to finally come alive at the plate. Even better, Domingo German rewarded his 11 runs of support with a perfect game. Add Aaron Judge slowly resuming baseball activities, and the Yankees did practically everything in Oakland except sweep the series. Some takeaways: Chicken … Continued
Whether an MLB team is in buy or sell mode, a front office typically makes trades with the best of intentions. The buyers are trying to find a player who can put them over the edge in the short term. The sellers are hoping the return can help them with an upcoming competitive window. That’s … Continued

Friday at 8:15 p.m. ET: Luis Severino vs. Matthew Liberatore Luis Severino put together his first scoreless outing of … Continued
At 35-44 on the year, the Mets have a lot of things they’re dealing with right now. Wondering whether or not they can land Shohei Ohtani in the offseason is the furthest thing from their minds. But we do know it’s something New York has thought about in the recent past. If it does happen, … Continued
Aaron Boone may manage the New York Yankees, but is a pure California boy at heart. He was born in the San Diego area, went to high school in Orange County, and played college ball at USC. Don’t ask this man about Burger King or McDonald’s when he knows In-N-Out is the one true fast … Continued
