Yankees-Rangers takeaways: Bronx Bombers drop 3rd-straight series
The 2023 season is a month old and the Yankees are, drumroll please, tied with the Red Sox for last in the AL East! Granted, the Yankees are still a game above .500 at 15-14 and there’s still plenty of time to turn things around. April rarely decides who wins it all. Plenty of baseball … Continued
Knicks don’t need major adjustments after Game 1 loss to Heat
It wasn’t a surprise to see the New York Knicks beat the Cleveland Cavaliers, but the absolute dominance with which it happened raised eyebrows.

Probable pitchers as Yankees limp home to face Cleveland Guardians
For a while, things were going well for the Yankees. At one point, they were the only MLB team to not lose a series, and even with a growing roster on the injured list, they were making it work. Things have crashed a burned a bit. Well, as much as they can on May 1st, … Continued
ABC really showed old stock footage of Twin Towers during Knicks-Heat
It’s technically baseball season, but New York City is straight-up hyped about the Knicks, folks.

It sounds like Jets are locking Aaron Rodgers in for 2 years (at least)
Aaron Rodgers says he was all but ready to retire before he entered the darkness. We have to take the new Jets quarterback at his word. But we remain skeptical, given he had close to $60 million in guaranteed money coming his way this year. And if his reworked deal takes on the anticipated form, … Continued
A crazy thought on why Yankees keep getting hurt
The Yankees’ injury issues are front and center again after Aaron Judge left Thursday night’s win over the Rangers with a hip issue. Judge told reporters he is not concerned. But he also said he will probably take a few days off. And given how these things go, it is not hard to envision a … Continued
Life as a Mets fan perfectly summed up with hilarious text exchange
Being a Mets fan is certainly not for the faint of heart.

Stew Leonard, grocery store king, dies at 93
My first job was ShopRite cashier. I worked there from my junior year in high school until after I graduated college, even pulling double-duty for a few months when I was covering high school sports part-time at NJ.com. A grocery store is the truest microcosm of society. Everybody has to eat, so everyone has to … Continued
Texas Rangers have a plaque for Yankees’ Aaron Judge at Globe Life Park
The Yankees continued their road trip at Globe Life Park on Thursday night, kicking off a four-game series against the Texas Rangers.

But while we wait for any updates, check out this cool … Continued
Mets’ comeback powered by Brandon Nimmo gnome dugout shrine
When times are tough, baseball teams will do just about anything to break out of a slump. The Mets were on a four-game losing streak for the first time since September 2021, so they took a page from Major League slugger Pedro Cerrano’s book to wake up their bats. Between two losses to the San … Continued
Probable pitchers as Mets host Braves for 4-game series at Citi Field
Initially, I thought the Mets would use their series against the Nationals earlier this week to pile up some wins before their first matchup of the year with the Braves. That unfortunately didn’t happen, but now there’s a clean slate. This is the first matchup between New York and Atlanta since the Braves swept the … Continued
Yankees’ Aaron Judge is definitely maybe OK: ‘Just a little grab in the hip area’
Try to follow along here. Yankees slugger Aaron Judge made an awkward head-first slide in Wednesday’s win over the Twins. He woke up Thursday morning and said “the whole right side” of his body was “a little locked up.” But he still played against the Rangers, only to exit the game with what the team called … Continued

NFL Draft: Jets take Iowa State’s Will McDonald IV, Aaron Rodgers trade looms large
The Jets would certainly do the Aaron Rodgers deal again. But it did nip them a bit in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft. Gang Green selected Iowa State linebacker Will McDonald IV with the No. 15 pick. But their pick swap with the Packers as part of the Rodgers deal — the … Continued

Let’s restructure the Mets’ slumping lineup for Buck Showalter
Folks, the Mets have been struggling. Entering Thursday night’s series finale with the Washington Nationals, they’ve lost four in a row for the first time since September 2021.

A fix to Yankees’ offensive struggles may be sitting in Scranton
If the name Jake Bauers sounds familiar, it should. He’s a 27-year-old first baseman/outfielder with 328 games for the Guardians, Mariners and Rays from 2018-21. Bauers hit .213 with 27 home runs over that stretch and then had an uneventful 2022 in the Reds and Yankees’ farm systems. But in 2023, the script has been … Continued
Some Giants and Jets thoughts before NFL Draft 2023 begins
Hey, look, the NFL draft kicks off on Thursday night. There has not been much buzz about this year’s edition around town.

Is Yankees’ Anthony Volpe taking Julio Rodriguez route to AL ROY Award?
Were you worried about the slow start at the plate by Yankees rookie shortstop Anthony Volpe? If so, you can stop worrying now.

Yankees season series review: How did they match up with Twins?
The 2023 Yankees-Twins regular season tilt was unlike any in literal decades.

The Twins are first in the AL … Continued
A real sentence: Jets’ Aaron Rodgers likely ‘never blinks during sex’
The Post has the Aaron Rodgers deal covered from all angles. Including an astrologer who has some thought-provoking takes on the new Jets quarterback.

(…) Considering the … Continued
Could Giants-Jets be Amazon’s Black Friday game? Projecting Aaron Rodgers’ primetime bonanza
The Jets played one primetime game in 2022. And scholars will debate whether it even counts as one.

Gang Green will likely play the maximum five primetime game now that Aaron … Continued
Probable pitchers as Yankees look to build momentum vs. Rangers
For the first time since 2001, the Yankees have lost a head-to-head season series matchup against the Minnesota Twins. But, there’s a silver lining to their three-game stay at Target Field.

Knicks-Cavaliers Game 5 takeaways: The drought is over
A long, hard road later, the New York Knicks rolled past the Cleveland Cavaliers and into the second round of the NBA playoffs. Jalen Brunson’s 23 points led in a 106-95 victory against a hapless Cavs offense that got too desperate too quickly. Dominant rebounding. Stopping every Cavs run before it could ever really get … Continued
Jets’ Aaron Rodgers suggests he will stay a while (his contract will say a lot)
Aaron Rodgers does not just intend. He implies as well. The new Jets quarterback danced around questions about his plans for 2024 and beyond at Wednesday’s introductory press conference in Florham Park. And then he finally came out and gave an answer. Sort of. “This isn’t a one and done in my mind,” Rodgers told … Continued
Yankees-Twins takeaways: Another series loss, and this one stings
The Yankees avoided a sweep with a signature lineup performance in Wednesday’s 12-6 win over the Twins. Even so, Minnesota won the season series over New York for the first time in over two decades.

Where does Gary Cohen store his 35 years worth of Mets scorecards?
The Mets returned to action Tuesday night at Citi Field after taking a breather on Monday following a 7-3 West Coast road trip. Unfortunately, they looked very rusty in a 5-0 loss to the Washington Nationals. The offense was silent and the defense was sloppy. As they’ve done for years, SNY’s booth kept us entertained … Continued
John Starks boldly calls for Knicks to reach NBA Finals

Yankees have projected timeline, stipulations for Harrison Bader’s return
Folks, the Yankees are struggling right now, and it’s mostly because of the offense. They could use some reinforcements, and one might be coming soon in the form of outfielder Harrison Bader.

Jets may opt for wide receiver in Round 1 of 2023 NFL Draft
Have you seen the news? Aaron Rodgers is the Jets’ starting quarterback, and it happened before the 2023 NFL Draft even started.

Joe Maddon adds fuel to Shohei Ohtani free agency fire for Mets, Yankees
The Shohei Ohtani free agency experience is going to be a ride unlike any other we’ve seen for an MLB player. That’ll happen when you’re one of baseball’s best pitchers and can also slug 40 homers on your non-pitching days.
