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. Here’s what the probable pitcher matchups look … Continued
One of the biggest pro wrestlings shows of the year is set for Sunday night and there’s a DraftKings AEW Double or Nothing 2023 pool that is free to play and has $25k in bonuses available. If you want to learn more about each of the matches on the card, be sure to read the How … Continued
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
Yankees right-handed pitching prospect Randy Vasquez will make his MLB debut on Friday against the San Diego Padres. MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch had the story first. RHP Randy Vasquez will start for the #Yankees tomorrow. — Bryan Hoch ⚾️ (@BryanHoch) May 25, 2023 Vasquez is 24 and the No. 12 prospect in the Yankees’ system. The … 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. He has the Giants at No. 29 — the fourth-worst offseason in the 32-team league, topping only the Raiders, Rams and Titans at … Continued

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
