The Yankees took a breather on Monday after a dominant 6-1 road trip against the Toronto Blue Jays and Cincinnati Reds. Their prize is starting a six-game homestand against the equally red-hot Baltimore Orioles. New York has climbed out of the AL East basement with a 14-5 record so far in May. They currently sit … Continued
We know Steve Cohen will spend money like George Steinbrenner. We do not know yet if he will fire people like The Boss. And, with Gary Sanchez’s recent promotion, we must wonder if the current Mets owner will share another trait with the late former Yankees owner: Trolling the crosstown rival. Steinbrenner pulled Joe Torre, … Continued
The 2023 NFL Draft is in the books and week-by-week schedules have officially been released. We’re that much closer to having Giants football back for another year.

Now that Aaron Rodgers is the Jets’ starting quarterback, the heavy lifting of their offseason is over. But there’s still one big thing they need to get done. Yes, restructuring Rogers’ contract is one, but I’m talking about a new deal for Quinnen Williams. This is something we knew the defensive tackle wanted since the … Continued
For a long time, it looked like the Mets forgot how to play winning baseball. But they’ve turned things around in the most dramatic way possible this week. New York has won five in a row, as well as seven of 10. Manager Buck Showalter’s club has been invigorated by the “Baby Mets”, which includes … Continued
The Yankees have been slowly getting healthier. As that’s happened, manager Aaron Boone has watched his club get hot. New York is off on Monday after a 6-1 road trip, pushing them to 14-5 over the past 19 games. Third baseman Josh Donaldson was close to returning from the injured list himself but then experienced … Continued

Mets hurler Justin Verlander was tasked with a few things at Citi Field on Sunday. He needed to right the ship for himself after a lackluster performance on Tuesday.

The Lakers, down three games to none to the Nuggets in the Western Conference finals, have reportedly stepped back, surveyed the situation and come to a clear conclusion. You know what this needs? Kyrie Irving! From The Post: Irving was tied to the Purple and Gold last summer, around this past trade deadline before being … Continued
Let’s get this out of the way early. Yankees manager Aaron Boone isn’t going anywhere. Owner Hal Steinbrenner has said as much. And why should he? Boone is in his sixth season at the helm and has otherwise done a great job with the Yankees despite not winning a World Series. He’s 456-301 over that … Continued
The Yankees rolled into Cincinnati to face the Reds and did exactly what was expected. New York rolled to a three-game sweep and has won four straight, plus six of seven.

Trevor May has a very specific distinction within Mets history. While he only spent two years with the club, he was the first major-league signing New York made in the Steve Cohen era. Across 87.2 innings in Queens, the right-hander posted a 9-3 record with an even 4.00 ERA and 1.31 WHIP. His 2022 campaign … Continued
We’ve known for a while that The 7 Line is bringing an army of Mets fans to Citizen Bank Park for a Mets-Phillies game on June 24th this season. What was recently realized is they’re once again getting a chance to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. The people of Philadelphia were mad about it … Continued
The Mets are finally letting the kids play at the big-league level, and it’s yielded good results so far. And when I say “the kids”, I’m referring to Francisco Alvarez, Brett Baty, and Mark Vientos. Ronny Mauricio is still waiting for his opportunity by hitting rockets on a nightly basis in Triple-A. But are there … Continued

The Knicks accomplished more than many initially expected during the 2022-23 NBA season. Now that their campaign is finished after getting eliminated by the Miami Heat, it’s time to start thinking about next year. What could New York do to get to the next level? Could it include acquiring newly-crowned NBA MVP, Joel Embiid? Stefan … Continued
The Mets have finally shown some life on the field, folks. After going 4-9 during a 13-game stretch against losing teams, they somehow found a way to take two of three from the Tampa Bay Rays, aka the best team in baseball. Whether the Mets win or lose, though, some people always find a way … Continued
Everyone loves a good BaseBrawl, right? When tempers flare and the benches clear, it usually revs up everyone in the ballpark. But they’re typically duds. They include a lot of jawing and not a ton of action. That didn’t happen on May 19, 1998 during a game at Yankee Stadium between the Yankees and Orioles. … Continued
The Yankees took three of four from the Blue Jays in Toronto and the MVP of the series was none other than manager Aaron Boone. The series was rife with drama from the start and New York’s polarizing skipper put on a master class. He pushed all the right pitching buttons. The bullpen management was … Continued
We can always expect the drama when the Yankees play the Blue Jays. In April, when Toronto visited the Bronx, known New York villain Vladimir Guerrero Jr. powered the Jays to taking two of three. It was the opposite when the Yankees visited the Blue Jays for four games this week. The bats came alive … Continued
After an interesting and very entertaining series in Toronto against the Blue Jays, the Yankees’ road trip will conclude in Cincinnati with a three-game set vs. the Reds.

Veteran Mets hurler Max Scherzer knows just how strict MLB umpires are being this year when it comes to doing foreign substance checks. But that apparently expands to the minor leagues. According to the rules, the Syracuse Mets’ pitching staff is just full of cheaters. I’m joking here a little bit, but I don’t think … Continued
Jalen Brunson has only been with the Knicks for one season, but he’s already made his mark in New York City. He was easily the most valuable player on a team that accomplished more than many expected during the 2022-23 season. But even as good as Brunson is, he’s not perfect by any means. We … Continued
As I sit down to write this article, it’s only May 18th. One of the first unofficial markers of MLB’s regular season regarding team performance is Memorial Day. Despite that, more than one-quarter of the 162-game schedule has already come and gone. Even with respective lackluster starts to 2023, the Mets and Yankees are definitely … Continued
WFAN’s parent company remains in a death spiral.

Outside of an eight-run fifth inning in DC vs. the Nationals, the Mets’ offense has looked anemic and mostly lifeless the past few weeks. But after finally recalling Mark Vientos to the big leagues on Wednesday, New York produced its first signature win of the 2023 season. And the manner in which they did it … Continued
It has been a few years since Snoopy took his name* off the annual Giants–Jets preseason game. But he is back on the local sports scene.

Although the Yankees’ big-league rotation is dealing with some injuries, it’s mostly set for the immediate future when at full strength. And that’s a good thing, for many reasons. Most of all, though, because New York doesn’t currently have a ton of pitching talent in the minor leagues. That’s especially the case when looking at … Continued
The Mets have finally put together an inspiring victory during the 2023 season. It was made possible by a terrific start from Kodai Senga, as well as home runs from Mark Vientos, Francisco Alvarez, and a walk-off shot from Pete Alonso. It was an absolute moonshot, too. Just look at this thing — it traveled … Continued
As bad as the Mets have been in recent weeks, at least fans can take solace in having baseball’s best owner in Steve Cohen, right? It’s not like the Wilpons are still running the club. They practically strived for mediocrity. As we heard and saw during Tuesday night’s game vs. the Rays, fans are fed … Continued
The Mets probably shouldn’t be participating in nationally televised games with the way they’re playing right now. It’s going to happen anyways this weekend.

Andrew Marchand of the New York Post is reporting that Jeff McNeil will be providing an in-game interview, … Continued
Once again, the Blue Jays prove to be all talk when it comes to their “rivalry” with the Yankees. The latest drama happened Monday night, after which Toronto accused New York of stealing signs ahead of an Aaron Judge home run. The beef was that in the Yankees’ 7-4 win, the team’s base coaches stood … Continued
All eyes were on Yankees slugger Aaron Judge Tuesday night in Toronto. His mere presence (and premier power) draws a lot of attention anyways. But, it was probably a little more this time around because of his darting eyes during an at-bat from Monday night. It happened right before he slugged a 462-foot tank. While … Continued
Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner is an interesting guy, almost the polar opposite of his bombastic father George. However, the younger Steinbrenner is far from absent, as he said on “The Show” podcast with Jon Heyman and Joel Sherman, both of the Post. In fact, Steinbrenner is pretty focused from the start of the season. Better … Continued
Stephen A. Smith is not done. “The only thing worse than James Harden was that sorry trifling ass Ben Simmons,” the ESPN star declared on his “Know Mercy” podcast, trashing the Nets’ mercurial guard yet again for his Instagram Live shade during the 76ers’ disastrous Game 7 playoff loss to the Celtics. Simmons posted a … Continued
Hal Steinbrenner took some time out of his day to talk about the Yankees, their start to 2023, and other things with New York Post writers Jon Heyman and Joel Sherman on “The Show” podcast. One of the topics that came up was manager Aaron Boone and his standing within the organization. That’s always an … Continued
Mets fans have been fed up with how the squad has performed for a while. Unfortunately, New York didn’t make any significant moves to try and change their fortune — until now. After another embarrassing showing at Citi Field on Tuesday, ESPN’s Jeff Passan has reported that Mark Vientos is finally getting the call from … Continued
Another NBA offseason is upon us and the Knicks are, by recent standards, in uncharted waters. The upcoming NBA Draft is almost an afterthought. How to approach next season, rather, is not. No need for a scoring point guard. Jalen Brunson signed a max deal last summer and was instrumental in the team making it … Continued
We need to talk about Gleyber Torres again. And yes, it’s that talk. Torres’ latest offense? Mishandling what should have been an easy double-play ball in the eighth inning of Monday’s game in Toronto. Torres’ Yankees won 7-4, but were leading 7-0 before his error led to the Blue Jays’ rally. And on the hitting side, … Continued
