Have you heard? The Stanley Cup Playoffs are back, and the first round has quite the New York area flavor to it. All three local teams have a chance to compete for the Cup, but the Rangers and Devils are facing off against one another in Round 1. The puck drops for Game 2 at … Continued
The Mets are in the final leg of their 10-game West Coast road trip, with their last stop being in San Francisco to face the Giants this weekend. Outside of the Max Scherzer sticky stuff ordeal, things have been going great, and center fielder Brandon Nimmo has been right in the middle of the action. … Continued
The Mets’ series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Chavez Ravine had a few extra fireworks early in the game. Just when starting pitcher Max Scherzer was settling into a groove, he was ejected after multiple foreign substance inspections. There was a lot to digest after New York won the game and the series. … Continued
The Diamondbacks made a move on Thursday that not many were expecting to see when they started their respective days. General manager Brian Cashman and the Yankees should be taking notes. Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic was the first to report that the DBacks were designating starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner for assignment. MadBum is … Continued

In the Yankees’ series opener against the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night, a first-inning home run from Shohei Ohtani set the tone for an L.A. victory. He tried doing the same thing on Wednesday, but Aaron Judge wasn’t having any of it. And then, he did Ohtani one better during the bottom of the … Continued
The Giants still have work to do when it comes to filling holes on the roster in advance of the 2023 season. A lot of that work will probably come via next week’s NFL Draft. Brian Daboll, Joe Schoen, and Co. can focus on certain areas because the centerpieces of New York’s offense are in … Continued
The Mets took their second rubber match of the year on Wednesday. This one came in Los Angeles against the Dodgers and old friend Noah Syndergaard. Despite improving to 5-1 on their current West Coast road trip, there were a few extra fireworks thanks to Max Scherzer getting ejected for “sticky stuff” before the fourth … Continued
The Mets are heading to San Francisco to face the Giants for the final leg of their 10-game road trip. Sticky stuff drama and possums notwithstanding, it’s been a successful one for New York. They swept the A’s in Oakland and followed that up by taking two of three from the Los Angeles Dodgers. Now, … Continued
The Mets’ success out West continued on Wednesday in Los Angeles. With Max Scherzer on the hill to start the game, New York ended up winning 5-3, taking two of three from the Dodgers and improving to 5-1 on their current road trip. However, Scherzer didn’t have much of an opportunity to contribute. He had … Continued
Shohei Ohtani almost had a home run in Yankee Stadium for the second night in a row, but Aaron Judge had other ideas. One MVP robbed another as Judge made a leaping attempt at the center field wall. The ball went off his glove, but Judge still managed to keep it in front of him … Continued
Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer is taking an early shower after his start on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. It wasn’t because of his performance, though — it was because of his glove and what was on his hands. After getting into and out of a bases-loaded jam in the first inning, the right-hander … Continued
The Mets are preparing to wrap up their three-game set at Dodger Stadium Wednesday afternoon by facing old friend, Noah Syndergaard. Apparently, another old friend followed them from Oakland to watch the game. During the first night of New York’s 10-game road trip, Gary Cohen and Ron Darling discussed how a possum kicked them out … Continued
Like all teams around the NFL, the Giants have been hard at work preparing for the 2023 NFL Draft. Who could potentially be at the top of their big board of prospects, though? We don’t know for sure, but we can read some context clues based on their top-30 visits. Each organization is allowed to … Continued
The Angels are in town to play the Yankees and Shohei Ohtani Fever is gripping New York City. Los Angeles’ two-way sensation will be a free agent at the end of the season and it’s no secret the Mets are interested. But could the Yankees be too? T-shirts featuring Ohtani and team captain Aaron Judge … Continued
At the start of the 2023 regular season, the Mets’ Triple-A lineup in Syracuse was absolutely loaded. While Francisco Alvarez and Brett Baty are no longer there, Mark Vientos and Ronny Mauricio still are. And they’re tearing apart opposing pitching at every opportunity. Among 165 minor leaguers with a min. 50 plate appearances this season, … Continued
The song remains the same. WFAN continued to demolish ESPN Radio New York in the winter 2023 ratings book. The scoreboard in the all-important males ages 25-54 demographic, via Newsday: Morning: Boomer Esiason and Gregg Giannotti with a 12.1 share, Rick DiPietro and Dave Rothenberg with a 3.0. Midday: Tike Barber and Brandon Tierney, 5.7; … Continued
The 2023 NFL Draft is fast approaching. Fans of the New York Football Giants have been occupied with quite an entertaining offseason. Between re-signing Daniel Jones, trading for Darren Waller, and all the contract drama with Saquon Barkley (among other things), there’s been plenty to follow. But for now, the focus will turn to which … Continued
The Yankees welcomed Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Angels to town for a three-game set starting on Tuesday night. Clarke Schmidt immediately surrendered a two-run homer to Ohtani in the first inning, which sparked an eventual 5-2 win for the visitors. We’ve spent a lot of time in recent days talking about how the … Continued
May Giants general manager Joe Schoen target a quarterback in the middle rounds of next week’s 2023 NFL Draft?
The Knicks and Cavaliers turned in another strong, physical effort in Game 2 of their playoff series. Lots of contact, lots of movement, lots of no-calls. The difference this time around, however, was that Cleveland proved the better team in a 107-90 blowout win. They communicated better on both sides of the court, notching 26 … Continued
What are the chances we’ll see the Mets land two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani next winter? It’s bound to be a bidding war, with New York and the Los Angeles Dodgers being two of the expected favorites. But remember how Ohtani wanted nothing to do with the East Coast before signing with the Angels in December … Continued
Don’t look now, but the Mets we expected to see on the field every night in 2023 might be arriving. New York’s 10-game West Coast road trip has started with four straight wins — three against the Oakland Athletics and one against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Overall, they’ve won five straight and now own an … Continued
Most Yankees fans probably remember Hall of Famer Yogi Berra for his personality. His quirky quotes, or “Yogi-isms,” we know all too well. When you come to a fork in the road, take it. It’s like déjà vu all over again. Perhaps the most famous of all: It ain’t over till it’s over. A new … Continued
In case you haven’t been paying attention, Gerrit Cole is off to a torrid start in 2023. The Yankees ace pitched a brilliant 2-hit shutout against the Twins on Sunday. He struck out ten and improved his record to 4-0. Cole’s ERA for the season sits at a stellar 0.95. So you’ll pardon me for … Continued
There hasn’t been any on-field NFL action in more than two months. However, we’re starting to get major 2023 vibes. Many Giants and Jets players have arrived for voluntary offseason workouts, while the 2023 NFL Draft is a little more than one week away. For anyone needing to catch up on details ahead of the … Continued
We know what the Giants offered Saquon Barkley in terms of average annual salary (and what they have since rescinded). But the true measure of an NFL contract — the guaranteed money — remains an unknown. And that speaks volumes about what likely happened between the team and the star running back, and about where … Continued
The Yankees are firmly entrenched in the newest version of Yankee Stadium. New York’s current home has been around since 2009. While the organization hasn’t appeared in a World Series in more than a decade, they also christened the place with a title during its inaugural year. It doesn’t matter how much time passes, though. … Continued
We are under two weeks away from the NFL draft. And the conventional wisdom about the Giants is beginning to change. Everyone thought general manager Joe Schoen would target a wide receiver in the first round. Especially after he spent all of March giving modest deals to No. 3 wideouts. But it sounds like this … Continued
The Yankees and Twins playing each other is very often an ALDS preview and this first four-game series sure was. There was just one key difference this time. Unlike most series, the Twins showed up and took the first two games. The best part, both teams face off again at Target Field in a week’s … Continued
The Yankees entered Sunday afternoon’s finale against the Minnesota Twins looking for a split of their four-game series. That’s exactly what happened as Gerrit Cole dominated — both on the mound and in the dugout. His complete-game, 10-strikeout performance helped the Yankees avoid a series loss. They remain the only MLB club to not lose … Continued
The Mets’ series finale win over the Oakland Athletics had a handful of twists and turns. And I’m not talking about the karaoke session that happened in the booth. However, this was just another opportunity for Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso to show how valuable they are to New York. Manager Buck Showalter’s squad jumped … Continued
The Giants and Jets started their respective offseason programs on Monday. Some notable names were not in attendance. Because of money. The Giants went back to work without Saquon Barkley (stewing over his franchise tag) and Dexter Lawrence (waiting for his big payday. And the Jets did not have Quinnen Williams in the building for … Continued
The Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers will meet for Game 2 of their opening round series in the NBA Playoffs, and the latest FanDuel promo code is a can’t-miss way to wager on it. This page’s links lock that FanDuel promo code in for you automatically, allowing you to easily collect this bonus. As a … Continued
As the Mets found a way to beat the Athletics to sweep their three-game set in Oakland, Gary Cohen and Ron Darling were on the call in the PIX11 booth. Not the original visiting team’s booth, but that’s a conversation for another day. The Mets’ SNY Twitter account caught Pete Alonso enjoying some music in … Continued
In hindsight, this was inevitable. Giancarlo Stanton’s hamstring tear is a problem for the Yankees for myriad reasons. Among them: The injury likely ensures Aaron Hicks will be on the roster indefinitely. Which means the avalanche of boos and strikeouts will continue. And it will get worse, actually, because he will play more. Oh, joy. … Continued
Mike Francesa is right. MetLife Stadium stinks. The WFAN legend was asked which venue is better — Citi Field or Yankee Stadium — via listener email on his latest BetRivers podcast. Francesa scored the fight in favor of the Amazins, saying “the Mets built a ballpark, the Yankees built a museum.” And then the big guy turned … Continued
While the 2022 NFL regular season ended with just one winning record for a squad playing at MetLife Stadium, New York football was the most fun it’s been in quite some time. The proof of that is in the pudding, too. And by pudding, I’m talking about attendance numbers for Jets and Giants home games. … Continued
Dexter Lawrence is the Giants’ contract extension priority at the moment, and understandably so. He has earned his payday, the sub-Aaron Donald defensive tackle market has been set by Jeffery Simmons and Big Blue can invest in the position with Leonard Williams likely off the books after this season. But general manager Joe Schoen has … Continued
The Mets have had their ups and downs over the first two-plus weeks of the 2023 regular season. But right now, we can definitely consider it an “up”. After all, they’re fresh off a sweep of the Oakland Athletics. With a 10-6 record, they’re one of seven clubs with double-digit wins. MLB’s new rules have … Continued
There is a possum living in the wall of the visiting television broadcast booth at the Oakland Coliseum. The Athletics have been unable to corral it. And the smell of its crap was so potent that SNY had to abandon ship last weekend and do the Mets’ three-game series against the A’s out of a … Continued
The Yankees sent starting pitcher Gerrit Cole to the mound on Sunday afternoon in the Bronx. Their hope was for a split of a four-game set with the Minnesota Twins before a day off on Monday. Cole delivered in dominant fashion — both on the mound and in the dugout. The right-hander stymied Twins hitters … Continued

This was not your typical Yankees series against the friendly American League Central rival Twins. New York could only manage a series split this time after two stunning losses to open the four-game set. Minnesota made very clear this series would be different with nine first-inning runs on Thursday. They showed they were serious with … Continued
The Mets and Dodgers have faced off several times in recent years. I’m mostly thinking about bidding wars for free agents they’re both interested in. That plot will thicken even more once next winter rolls around. For now, the battle will happen between the lines. New York is coming off its first sweep of the … Continued
When the Mets decided third baseman Brett Baty should begin the 2023 season in Triple-A, the reasoning given by general manager Billy Eppler didn’t make sense. I mean, we knew it was only because they wanted to give Eduardo Escobar a chance to get himself going at the plate. That hasn’t happened. And for the … Continued
