Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger looks like he’s hit the weightroom pretty hard entering his second season.
This weekend should be exciting for baseball. The New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers face each other in a weekend series at Dodger Stadium. Baseball now has full interleague play, so MLB clearly hopes this re-ignites the old rivalry that dates back to Brooklyn and has spawned 11 World Series. Except this time, it … Continued
There are certain players who will always hold a special place in the hearts of Mets fans. Former starting pitcher Bartolo Colon is 100% one of those guys. The right-handed hurler just turned 50 years old in May. Despite that — and not pitching in an MLB game since 2018 — he’s held onto the … Continued
After having a day off on Thursday, the Yankees will begin a three-game set against the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Friday. Outfielder Aaron Judge will be in the lineup, and he’s feeling some kind of way after a huge month of May. A strained right hip forced Judge to the Injured List at the … Continued
Billy Joel is signing off at Madison Square Garden next year. From The Associated Press: Billy Joel is finally moving out of his monthly perch at Madison Square Garden. The singer-songwriter says he will conclude his residency in July 2024 with his 150th lifetime performance at the venue. “It’s hard to believe we’ve been able … Continued
Everybody wants to believe in the Seattle Mariners, even ESNY. Unfortunately, the old pattern has re-emerged. Seattle succeeds one year and fails to build off of it. This was apparent when the light-hitting Mariners lost two of three to the Yankees at T-Mobile Park this week. Seattle’s only win? A 1-0 walkoff in extra innings … Continued
After going through an incredibly rough stretch of subpar performance, the Mets appear to be back on track. New York had failed to consistently accomplish two very basic aspects of baseball through its first 43 games of the season, but they’ve figured it out over the past two weeks. After losing 7-6 on May 16th … Continued
After some early bumps in the road, things are going well for the Yankees right now. As they prepare to face the Dodgers, the big-league roster is getting much closer to full strength. Should an opportunity arise, though, it looks like Oswald Peraza is making his case to rejoin New York in the big leagues. … Continued
Before hitting the road to face the Braves in Atlanta, the Mets will finish up their current homestand at Citi Field against the Blue Jays.

If that holds, … Continued
The Yankees continued their winning ways in Seattle by taking two of three from the Mariners. After getting a breather on Thursday, they start a three-game set against the Dodgers on Friday night. New York will have some familiar faces back on the active roster for this matchup, too. Here’s what the probable pitching matchups … Continued
Before the Mets could even take the field against the Miami Marlins for Opening Day on March 30th, they received a big gut punch regarding Edwin Diaz. A torn patellar tendon during the World Baseball Classic ended his 2023 campaign before it even started. Or did it? Once Diaz underwent surgery on March 16th, the … Continued
The New York Times dropped what appeared to be a bombshell back in March, reporting that another Alabama men’s basketball player had been present at the deadly shooting that marred the highly-ranked team’s season. At the time, only three Crimson Tide players were known to have been at the scene — Darius Miles, who was … Continued
Is there a better power hitter in baseball right now than Yankees slugger Aaron Judge? The answer to that question is probably not. That’ll happen when you’re the reigning AL MVP Award winner and fresh off a 62-homer campaign. Even with a stint on the Injured List earlier this year, Judge is still among the … Continued
We recently built a hypothetical trade that could bring reigning MVP and Philadelphia 76ers star center Joel Embiid to the Knicks. Today, rumors involving the star seven-footer have some more legs. ESPN’s Tim McMahon recently appeared on Brian Windhorst’s “The Hoop Collective” podcast. He reported that as pertains to Embiid, New York executives hope things … Continued
We were going to ignore the whole Josh Hart breast milk thing because some things should be ignored. Not everything that is done and said on the internet needs to be made into a post. But then ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith got involved on his Audacy podcast. And we cannot let his courage go without … Continued
The Yankees were looking to sweep the Mariners on their way out of Seattle on Wednesday night. They were close, but it didn’t happen, instead dropping the finale by a score of 1-0 in extra innings. New York is getting a day off prior to facing the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Friday. Before the … Continued
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is expected to announce he is running for president next week. Why are we discussing this on a New York (and New Jersey) sports website, you ask? Because of who is apparently set to provide Christie with a lot of cash for his attempted march to the Potomac. There … Continued
The Mets continued their recent regular-season domination of the Phillies on Wednesday night with a 4-1 victory. Mark Canha provided all the runs and Carlos Carrasco looked good on the mound again. But, the Philly broadcasters were mad at Francisco Lindor for no reason. Well, they had a reason. It was just a crappy one. … Continued
Should the Giants extend running back Saquon Barkley? Could a Jets-Quinnen Williams agreement be on the horizon?
We have had a very interesting relationship with the Yankees’ Isiah Kiner-Falefa. He hit .302 in April of last year, so much that I went so far as to call him the new Didi Gregorius. ESNY’s tone then gradually shifted with both Kiner-Falefa’s regression and frustrating fielding at shortstop. By the offseason, the discourse was either potential … Continued
The Foul Territory TV show on YouTube is becoming appointment viewing whenever there’s a Mets player getting interviewed. Pete Alonso first made headlines with his mistimed pregame coffee last week, and now Jeff McNeil is poking fun at Tommy Pham. McNeil talked about a bunch of things, both serious and not-so-serious. The not-so-serious stuff included … Continued
MLB’s regular season schedule has passed its first unofficial benchmark with Memorial Day coming and going. It didn’t take too long for the second one to show up, either: the 2023 MLB All-Star Ballot is officially open. So, you know what that means — it’s time for Mets and Yankees fans to do their thing. … Continued
The Aaron Hicks experience for the Yankees has recently ended (finally). But the Yankees aren’t done seeing Aaron Hicks. That was always going to be the case, though. Starting in 2023, MLB instituted a scheduling change where all teams play each other throughout the regular season. This change de-emphasizes divisional play. So, as long as … Continued
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
