As I sit here writing this, the Mets are about to take the field for their home opener (finally). This is a game that Justin Verlander was scheduled to pitch. But since he landed on the injured list, that honor is now going to Tylor Megill. When can we expect the reigning American League Cy … Continued
With six picks in the 2023 NFL Draft, how can Jets general manager Joe Douglas improve the roster?
About a week ago, the thought of Francisco Alvarez being on the big-league roster in time for the Mets’ home opener would’ve sounded like a pipe dream. But things can change fast when it comes to baseball. Omar Narvaez got hurt during Wednesday’s finale in Milwaukee against the Brewers. While getting re-evaluated in New York … Continued
One of the biggest crimes in baseball is that Angels outfielder Mike Trout has only been to the postseason once since his MLB debut in 2011. And, it’s been nearly a decade since that lone occurrence happened. Let’s face it — we’ve all imagined him on a different team, enabling him to play October baseball … Continued
Life is pretty good right now if you’re the Yankees. Sure, they’re not 6-0 like the Tampa Bay Rays, but winning two straight series with a 4-2 record is a great outcome for the first homestand of the year. New York will now embark on a six-game road trip that’ll begin at Camden Yards against … Continued
The Mets began their 2023 campaign with a seven-game road trip. While baseball in March/April can be tricky from a weather perspective, there was certainty for New York since the club played in two stadiums with retractable roofs. Heading home to Citi Field, where there’s no roof, has already moved the home opener from Thursday … Continued
This has been inevitable since Craig Carton began pulling double-duty. But is it horrible timing for WFAN. Carton’s future at the station is in question, according to The Post. FOX is pushing to turn his FS1 morning show into his full-time — and only — gig. And, to steal from noted Carton nemesis Mike Francesa, … Continued
Thursday was supposed to be Mets Opening Day at Citi Field. It was postponed to Friday because of “rain”, but New York still made headlines. They announced a partnership with NewYork-Presbyterian, which includes an advertisement on the sleeves of player jerseys. And, even better — it’s ready just in time for the Mets’ home opener! … Continued
The question has loomed ever since Craig Carton launched his FS1 morning show: How long could or would the WFAN afternoon drive host pull double duty? We may be about to get the answer. And it could be bad news for the ‘FAN. From The Post: Craig Carton’s future on WFAN afternoons is in question. … Continued
The Jets signed Tim Boyle on Thursday. The move has sparked far more discussion than a transaction involving a journeyman 28-year-old backup quarterback in early April should. The reaction has fallen into one of two camps: 1. Boyle was Aaron Rodgers’ backup with the Packers, so this must be a sign the deal is close! … Continued
Baseball in 2023 is a much different game than ever before. The new rules have been completely revolutionizing — and, depending on who you talk to, ruining — the game. MLB has instituted a bunch of changes this season, but none have gotten more attention than the pitch clock. There’s no doubt that its presence … Continued
He’s here (again) and he’s perfect (still). In the hours after the Mets got swept out of American Family Field by the Brewers, reports surfaced of Francisco Alvarez heading from Syracuse to New York. Why, you ask? Omar Narvaez left Wednesday’s finale with a calf injury and the club was uncertain of the severity. There … Continued
The Yankees took advantage of the Phillies’ slow start, taking two of three in the teams’ only series this season. For the defending National League champions, 1-5 Philadelphia sure doesn’t look the part. Injuries have hit their pitching staff hard and their lineup harder, plus the usual World Series hangover. Not even adding Trea Turner … Continued
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban’s team gambled and lost on Kyrie Irving and is now fighting for a play-in berth. And how did the “Shark Tank” star keep spirits up with two must-win games remaining? He blamed Knicks assistant coach Rick Brunson for his son, star point guard Jalen Brunson, not re-signing in Dallas. “Where … Continued
If you live in the tri-state area or in the general vicinity of Citi Field, it’s a beautiful day for baseball on Thursday. It’s a little cloudy, but the sun is out, and the temperature is in the 60s and expected to reach the 70s. Considering how cold April baseball can be in the northeast, … Continued
Mike Francesa has seen enough of Aaron Hicks. The WFAN legend said the embattled Yankees outfielder “has become a nightmare” for the Bombers. And a good amount of the blame belongs with general manager Brian Cashman. “He should have been gone long ago,” Francesa said on his latest BetRivers podcast. “That’s a Cashman project, a … Continued
Yankees ace Gerrit Cole has watched his 2023 campaign get off to a terrific start. However, his demeanor while pitching those gems is just as good — if not better. Cole has begun his regular season with two starts at home in the Bronx. His Opening Day start included a franchise-record 11 strikeouts, and he … Continued
Steve Cohen is playing chess. Hal Steinbrenner is playing checkers. From MLB.com: The New York Mets and NewYork-Presbyterian, one of the nation’s leading healthcare systems, today announced a new long-term partnership to promote health and wellness, both at the ballpark and in the communities they serve. … As a symbol of the integrated partnership, a … Continued
Well, that escalated quickly (and painfully). After taking three of four in Miami, many were looking forward to a Mets-Brewers series in Milwaukee before New York returned to Flushing. After watching the Mets mostly get their butts whooped for three games, we’re just happy it’s over and they can start to move on. Here are … Continued
The Giants have 10 draft picks and various needs. Who should general manager Joe Schoen select later this month?
Two series in, two series wins. The Yankees continued a strong start to the season with their second consecutive series win, this time over the Phillies. New York took advantage of the defending National League champions’ slow start and looked well-paced in two of three wins. The bats are slowly waking up as the lineup … Continued
There are certain players who will always hold a special place in the hearts of Mets fans. Former pitcher Bartolo Colon is one of those guys. He’s also been angling to pitch for New York again for years. The soon-to-be 50-year-old will be back in Flushing this season, but not to suit up in a … Continued
The Mets’ season-opening road trip was the definition of up-and-down. They took three of four from the Miami Marlins before getting swept out of Milwaukee by the Brewers. Instead of getting ready for their home opener on Thursday, the weather is pushing it to Friday. Could top prospect Francisco Alvarez be joining for all the … Continued

The Mets entered their series finale against the Milwaukee Brewers looking for something on offense. Anything, really. That’ll happen when get shut out on consecutive days by a combined score of 19-0. First baseman Pete Alonso is doing his part on Wednesday, and it’s probably because he shaved off his mustache. New York jumped out … Continued
As the Jets have worked through the offseason, there’s been a cloud of uncertainty hanging over them. Even though quarterback Aaron Rodgers wants to play for New York in 2023, it hasn’t happened yet. However, one thing is certain: whatever happens, Zach Wilson is the backup. We knew this would be the case all along. … Continued
We are very skeptical Saquon Barkley will grace the Giants’ facility at any point before the start of training camp — if even then. But he hanging out with his quarterback and teammates currently. And that is worth noting, given he and the Giants are in the early days of a contract standoff that could … Continued
We’re about one week into the new MLB regular season, and Mets fans have been mostly waiting to hear when Brett Baty will get called back up to the big leagues. But over the past 24 hours or so, it’s turned to hoping the next Brett Baty injury update isn’t a bad one. Mets fans … Continued
If I had to assume, I would’ve guessed that the Triple-A Syracuse Mets are a more popular draw to the ballpark than the Oakland Athletics. Seeing that it’s true isn’t surprising, but it’s still sad. For the A’s, at least. JJ Cooper of Baseball America made an observation that of the 13 Triple-A games played … Continued
How powerful is Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton? The limit does not exist, folks. That’s certainly the case for all 30 of the current big-league ballparks. The same can be said for ballparks from the past, as well. During New York’s 4-1 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night, MLB.com’s Sarah Langs shared an awesome … Continued
The Mets’ 2023 season is only six games old. While being 3-3 is not what they were hoping for, there’s still a long way to go in this six-month marathon of a regular season. But still, the offense has gone ice cold. That’ll happen after getting shut out in two straight games. How does manager … Continued
The Mets are wrapping up their three-game series in Milwaukee against the Brewers on Wednesday afternoon. After getting shutout in two straight lopsided losses, they’ll be happy to get on the plane back to Flushing. So will third baseman Eduardo Escobar, but for a different reason. If we learned anything from his participation with Team … Continued
Three years, $29.5 million. That’s how much the Yankees still owe Aaron Hicks and for how long. His seven-year, $70 million extension signed ahead of 2019 is easily one of general manager Brian Cashman’s biggest mistakes. Maybe even his worst. Cut to 2023, Hicks’ eighth with New York, and he has literally two full seasons … Continued
Jalen Brunson has become the second Knicks player in three years to be nominated for the NBA’s Most Improved Player Award. Julius Randle capped a career season two years ago when he took home the same trophy. But the two also have something else in common. They were nominated for the award in years when … Continued

The Mets’ series opener in Milwaukee against the Brewers didn’t go well. And that’s saying it in the nicest way possible. Between pitch clock violations, PitchCom issues, no offense, and a subpar performance from the pitching staff, the good feelings from New York’s series win in Miami were temporarily lost. But hey, at least Luis … Continued
Mike Francesa calls it like he sees it. The WFAN legend has blasted former president Donald Trump several times since he left office. But Francesa still believes Trump’s indictment by Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg is a bridge too far. “How ridiculous is this Trump fiasco?” Francesa tweeted. “New York should be embarrassed. What a … Continued
Aaron Rodgers will need a good offensive line in front of him. And ESPN analyst Todd McShay believes that will be the Jets’ focus in the 2023 NFL draft. McShay has the Jets grabbing a pair of linemen with their first two picks. He has Ohio State tackle Paris Johnson going to the Jets with … Continued
If the start of 2023 is any indication, Yankees home games should be exciting this year. Winning four of five in the Bronx to begin the regular season will do that. But there’s another attraction for fans descending upon Yankee Stadium this year: The 99 Burger. Aaron Judge has gained a bunch of things since … Continued
The Giants are happy with their Daniel Jones decision. But at least one opponent is having a hard time wrapping their head around it. General manager Joe Schoen caught some flak for the quarterback’s four-year deal as part of a free agency survey conducted by The Athletic. “They would have been better off doing a … Continued
Many believe the Giants will select a wide receiver with their first pick in the 2023 NFL draft. But ESPN analyst Todd McShay believes they can wait to get quarterback Daniel Jones another weapon. McShay instead has general manager Joe Schoen addressing another pressing need with the No. 25 pick. He has Mississippi State cornerback Emmanuel … Continued
The place is called American Family Field, man. Show some damn respect. The Mets got smashed on Monday. Carlos Corrasco got shelled, the bats were silent, a 10-0 loss to the Brewers, et cetera. But presumably not as smashed as the Milwaukee fan who decided to urinate all over the stadium concourse to celebrate a … Continued
The Yankees opened up their 2023 season at home by taking two of three games from the San Francisco Giants. There were a lot of good things to take away from that performance as they prepared to host the Phillies in the Bronx. However, outfielder Aaron Hicks was left feeling confused and a little frustrated … Continued
As the Mets left Miami, there was plenty to feel good about. They just took three of four from the Marlins and did it in a convincing manner. The rotation, bullpen, and defense were crisp, and the offense threw in some timely hitting. New York’s final road trip before their home opener began Monday afternoon … Continued
How should Giants general manager Joe Schoen use his 10 picks in the 2023 NFL Draft later this month?
How should Jets general manager Joe Douglas attack the 2023 NFL Draft later this month?
