It just dawned on us the other day: What’s up with the USFL? And more specifically, what’s up with our New Jersey Generals (who play their home games in Canton, Ohio)? We have good and bad news. The bad news first: The Generals are in freefall. They’ve lost four straight and are currently 2-5. They … Continued
John Sterling just needed a breather. The Yankees’ radio play-by-play voice told NJ.com’s Randy Miller a busy personal life, followed by a case of bronchitis, has sidelined him for the last few weeks. But Sterling said he is close to full strength and reiterated he will be back at work next week. From NJ.com: Sterling … Continued
By now, it’s pretty much common knowledge that SNY has the best television booth in Major League Baseball. The combination of Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez, and Ron Darling is perfection on a nightly basis for Mets fans. What makes Keith great is his willingness to make a comment on just about anything (and when he … Continued
The Mets returned home to Citi Field on Tuesday night to face the Philadelphia Phillies. Kodai Senga looked excellent over seven shutout innings as New York took the series opener by a score of 2-0. But the highlights weren’t just on the field, ya know. And if you’ve never heard of churro nachos before, prepare … Continued
It’s amazing how perception can change in just the span of 12 months. Around this time last year, there were a lot of unknowns regarding the Giants and Jets. People just wanted to see meaningful football being played after Halloween. Now as they prepare for the 2023 regular season, expectations are to reach the playoffs. … Continued
In case you haven’t figured it out by now, Yankees slugger Aaron Judge is really good at baseball. Like…really good. That was on display again during New York’s 10-4 series-opening Memorial Day win over the Mariners in Seattle. The Yankee captain went 3-for-4 with two home runs and a double. That rose his season-long stats … Continued
It was a beautiful weekend to catch some baseball in the Bronx at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees hosted the San Diego Padres, and it was an entertaining three-game set. After dropping the series opener, the Bombers came back to win the last two and take the series before jetting to Seattle to face the Mariners. … Continued
In 1998, the Yankees capped a truly historical season by sweeping the Padres in the World Series. Twenty-five years later, both teams met again for a regular season weekend series in the Bronx. New York took two of three. What was rarely discussed over the weekend, however, was the 25-year anniversary of that Fall Classic. … Continued
Predicting who will make the Jets’ 53-man roster for their season-opening matchup against the Bills.
Even though the Mets are limping home from a 2-4 road trip to face the Philadelphia Phillies at Citi Field on Tuesday, there are some things to be excited about. The pitching staff is absolutely not one of them. Rookie catcher Francisco Alvarez, though? Yea, he qualifies as one. The 21-year-old backstop has been one … Continued
After they both had Memorial Day off, the Mets and Phillies are facing off against one another for the first time in 2023. The head-to-head matchup last season was hard-fought, but it heavily favored the Mets once the final bell sounded. Some #Mets highlights vs. Philly in ‘22: ⁃14-5 overall record ⁃9-0 in games started … Continued
The Giants are about two weeks away from their summer minicamp, six from the NFL franchise tag extension deadline and eight from the start of training camp. And there has been no movement on the Saquon Barkley front. The Post has a new update that examines — as we have written here on several occasions … Continued
The Yankees took two out of three from the visiting Padres over Memorial Day Weekend and, per usual, came from behind to do it. New York still sits third in the AL East and seven games behind Tampa Bay. But as a series, it was a fun watch. The Padres proved a competitive team despite … Continued
After starting their homestand 1-3 — which included three straight losses — the Yankees got back on track. They ended up taking two of three from the San Diego Padres before starting a West Coast road trip. The first stop? In Seattle against Julio Rodriguez and the Mariners.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Josh Donaldson were the biggest and most immediate pieces to join the Yankees in their famed swap with the Minnesota Twins in 2022. While IKF had an OK season as New York’s starting shortstop, it still left a lot to be desired. He wasn’t expected to be the second coming of Derek … Continued
There’s nothing in this world Mets first baseman Pete Alonso likes more than hitting home runs. It’s what he was put on this Earth to do. Even though he’s already hit more than 160 dingers since debuting in 2019, I’m sure each of them is memorable for different reasons. But, only a select few come … Continued
Catcher Francisco Alvarez has been a bright spot in the Mets’ minor-league system since he signed in 2018. And while it was touch-and-go for a little bit, the future is officially now for him in the big leagues. Upon getting called up prior to the Mets’ home opener, it was hard for him to get … Continued
After a surprising run to the Eastern Conference Semifinals this year, the Knicks are at a fork in the road this offseason. What will they do? And could it involve newly-crowned NBA MVP, Joel Embiid? Once New York and the Philadelphia 76ers are both eliminated from the playoffs, rumors of the Knicks wanting to make … Continued
And just like that, the Gary Sanchez era with the Mets is (probably) over. New York activated Tomas Nido from the injured list prior to Thursday’s series finale against the Chicago Cubs. That obviously meant someone currently on the roster had to get the axe. And since Francisco Alvarez isn’t going anywhere, Sanchez was designated … Continued
The Jets are coming off a disappointing 2022 campaign, but the vibes are immaculate right now. New York can point to its acquisition of quarterback Aaron Rodgers as the main reason why. But if he plans on taking Gang Green to the promised land, they’ll have to get through Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City … Continued
John Sterling has been away from the Yankees’ radio microphone for some time now. And he will be out a bit longer. From The Post’s Andrew Marchand: John Sterling will miss this weekend’s home series against San Diego and will skip the Yankees’ West Coast trip next week because he is under the weather. Sterling, … Continued
This is a Yankees-Orioles series most fans would prefer to forget. Baltimore flashed its young talent and won the series, taking Thursday’s finale in a dominant fashion. It was a bad showing for the Yankees, who recently came off a five-game winning streak. They remain third in the AL East and seven games behind the … Continued
There are only two ways to feel about Mets first baseman Pete Alonso. You either love him or you hate him. If you’re a Mets fan, chances are you love him for all the homers he hits, along with the things he says and does when not in the batter’s box. But if you’re a … Continued
Before getting a breather on Monday and hosting the Phillies at Citi Field on Tuesday, the Mets must first finish their current road trip. That’ll happen in Denver as they face the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. Here’s what the probable pitching matchups look like. Friday at 8:40 p.m. ET: Max Scherzer vs. Connor Seabold … Continued
The Yankees are set to finish their six-game homestand in the Bronx with three contests against the San Diego Padres. Here’s what the probable pitching matchups look like ahead of this head-to-head matchup. Friday at 7:05 p.m. ET: Randy Vasquez vs. Joe Musgrove Randy Vasquez is getting the call to make his MLB debut with … Continued
The old AL East narrative used to be simple. The Orioles would throw out a contender once every few years, but otherwise be the division’s punching bag. The Yankees have taken full advantage of this and are 63-30 against Baltimore under manager Aaron Boone. This three-game series was a warning that a new contender might … Continued

The Mets have started their current road trip with an 0-2 record. That’s not what the doctor ordered after an exciting homestand last week. However, rookie catcher Francisco Alvarez continues to solidify his position as the starter, even once Omar Narvaez and Tomas Nido are ready to return. The 21-year-old found a way to cut … Continued
While most of the world acts as if Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen invented football, one analyst is courageously going against the grain. ESPN’s Bill Barnwell is ranking each NFL team’s offseason.

The Yankees have stabilized themselves. But Bobby Valentine is not impressed. The former Mets manager thinks the Bombers are not as good as their 30-21 record (and 12 wins in the last 16) suggest. He does not see a World Series contender and he doubts slugger Aaron Judge can single-handedly carry the team yet again … Continued
Despite what some people might want to believe, Brett Gardner no longer plays for the Yankees. In fact, his Yankees playing days — and MLB playing days, in general — are over. Gardner was a beloved Yankee. So it’s understandable as to why it’s hard for some to accept that the fleet-footed outfielder won’t be … Continued
Well before he was officially traded to the Jets, every casual football fan knew who Aaron Rodgers was. Being the starting quarterback and winning a Super Bowl for an iconic team like the Green Bay Packers will do that. But since he’s landed with Gang Green, we’ve gotten more of a look at what makes … Continued

The Mets finally showed some life on their most recent homestand, finishing it with five straight wins. Most of those victories came in dramatic fashion, too. But now that they’ve hit the road, it feels like we’re back to the same old story. Does that mean infielder Ronny Mauricio will be the next Baby Met … Continued
It’s easy to forget that on top of being a great glove in center field for the Yankees, Harrison Bader is a legit New Yorker. That means along with being a good ballplayer, the man knows his food. Specifically, he knows his delis. Case in point is his appearance on the YES app’s new show … Continued
Wednesday is a special one for former Mets hurler, Bartolo Colon. It’s not just his birthday — it’s the right-hander’s 50th birthday. And if it were up to him, he’d be spending it in Chicago with the Mets while they’re playing the Cubs. That’s just a dream nowadays for the longtime hurler. He’s been back … Continued
The Rays have gotten off to one of the most dominant starts we’ve ever seen from an MLB team.

Last Tuesday at Citi Field, the Mets had hit yet another low point in their season. Justin Verlander got booed off the field, New York lost to the Tampa Bay Rays, and the scoreboard thought they were playing at Tropicana Field. But then, something happened.

The Yankees and Baltimore Orioles are squaring off this week for the second time this season. But it’s the first time they’re doing so in the Bronx. New York took two of three at Camden Yards during an early April series. It looked like the O’s were about to take Game 1 at Yankee Stadium … Continued
Yankees ace Gerrit Cole clearly wasn’t himself in Tuesday’s 6-5 walkoff win over the Baltimore Orioles. The big righty pitched five-plus innings and allowed five runs on six hits. Uncharacteristically, he had three walks to just two strikeouts. The fastball command was never there and Cole generated just seven whiffs, per Statcast. This was, in … Continued
Projecting who will make the Giants’ 53-man roster for their Week 1 game against the Cowboys in September.
Which players currently on the Jets’ roster could be edged out by new acquisitions this summer?
Aaron Judge tied it in the ninth inning, and then rookie Anthony Volpe won it in the tenth. With runners on the corners and one out, New York’s young shortstop hit Baltimore righty Bryan Baker’s fastball deep enough to center field. Isiah Kiner-Falefa scored from third and sealed a 6-5 win. .@Volpe_Anthony called game 🙌 … Continued
